The Official Manchester United Thread (Vol 12)
Discussion
We’re on the March with Eric’s army and we’re all going to Wembley.
We’ll really shake them up when we win the FA Cup because United are the greatest football team.
I’ll let you know how good it was. Or maybe not as we might lose, Feisty internet United fans.
Just in case there’s a doubt Simon the offer of a ticket to a game has been revoked. I doubt I’d be able to keep you safe.
Keep it miserable and frustrated in the meantime.

Cringe. Do you actually realise how childish your posts are?We’ll really shake them up when we win the FA Cup because United are the greatest football team.

I think someone has been on the pop tonight.
Today was very much a last match of the season dead rubber. Some positives, some negatives, but generally pretty much like the rest of the season apart from actually winning and not throwing a lead away.
Season review is probably best saved for another day, when it can be discussed sensibly, no matter what your opinion is.

In the 3 youngsters Mainoo, Garnacho, Hojlund (accepting each has strong potential, with room for improvement in different areas) combined with Martinez (IF he can stay fit), Bruno, Dalot there’s the bones of a decent team. (Amad may have a role to play too)
If we can get the recruitment right this summer, with some big names and big salaries leaving and more young/high potential players with the right desire, hunger, fight and ambition replacing them then we could be at the start of a new cycle.

Aye. With new guys in behind the scenes and some foundations for a good team, I’m quite looking forward to the summer and seeing if we can get the recruitment vastly improved.

Everything inside and out crossed for next weekend

Did a single player even get 10 premier league goals for us, this season?
Bruno got 10 in the league, Rasmus 9.Bruno also got 8 assists in the league.

It really is quite bizarre behaviour from a fully grown adult. I completely get my opinion is just my opinion, and others will vary. When that's the case usually constructive discussion takes place - for example I questioned Hojlund's off the ball movement the other day, and several posters raised very valid responses around the structure of the team, us not playing to his strengths, etc etc. No one said it was childish or ignorant for me to think what I thought, or that I am an imbecile for thinking it, it was a grown up conversation and I acknowledged that others have made a completely fair point in their responses. Ironically Hojlund has gone on to score 2 excellent goals since, just to put me in my place
AMG on the other hand sees something he doesnt agree with and then comes on here and says anyone who doesn't have the same opinion as him is an imbecile, that other opinions to his are childish, that people who don't think like him most likely aren't very good at their job, that his opinion counts more than those who have been to less matches then him etc.
Most recently he called people who don't agree with his opinion imbeciles, and singled out one specific poster to call them a "c*nt", before a couple of days later coming on to say, and I quote;

To be fair unident has persistently belittled and dug at him like a dick while posting under his new user name You've just persistently whined and moaned and b
hed about everything to do with the club but not made it personal against him.The guy comes on here and retaliated against Unident and you as he's entitled to do, each to their own..

I'v given what I think is a fair view to be honest. You've just persistently whined and moaned and b
hed about everything to do with the club but not made it personal against him.The guy comes on here and retaliated against Unident and you as he's entitled to do, each to their own..
On the whole, if a season is the worst the club has recorded in premier league history, then naturally the opinions are going to be more negative than positive.
But I've also praised the manager when warranted (such as his bold in game management vs Liverpool in the cup, his tactical shift in the last couple of games, the emergence of Garnacho, Mainoo), players when they've deserved it (Dalot, Garnacho, Mainoo, Hojlund's spirit and attitude etc). I'm also positive about the future under new leadership and have shared my excitement about off field developments.
If I've never made it personal against a poster, I don't see why they need to retaliate against me.....sure if they think my view is completely wrong they can point that out, and others have done so in a completely fair way. It's kind of the point of a discussion forum.
As you say to each their own, if a poster wants to take my opinion about a football team as some kind of personal sleight on them that's up to them I guess. I will just choose not to partake.
Above all sport is a results business. United haven't achieved the results they should've considering the resources available. It's now become worse because our poor sporting performance and high previous spend has reduced our earning (and therefore spending) potential.
Arguing about individual games, decisions or players is a dance on the head of a pin. The structure above the coaching needed to change and it has (at least begun to). The questions now are how much importance you place on an immediate upturn in league results if that interferes with long term ones, and whether this manager is the one to deliver it.
For me the answer is no, because the direction of travel has been in reverse and we haven't seen an improvement in any material area. The manager has been given time and resources to influence the team and that influence hasn't produced positive results. Others might feel differently.

Watching us it’s hard to see much positive but I will make a case for ETH . I would say the 3 most important players in the team are Bruno ,shaw and Martinez and 2 of those 3 have basically missed the entire season .No team including city could absorb missing their 3 most important players over an entire season (look what happens when Rodri doesn’t play ) never mind all the other injuries .Arguing about individual games, decisions or players is a dance on the head of a pin.

That does not excuse some of the terrible selections , tactics and bad in game management we have seen though .
