    The game(more like United) that keeps on giving.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,851 ✭✭✭dmigsy


    Pogba should be taken off after that goal. He's a joke of a player.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,567 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    The look on Jose’s face is priceless, he’s in vengeance mode. :D

    Wow.

    Spurs goal difference is going to be huge.

    He was right though. Maguire is a disaster.

    But iirc he wouldn't say that.
    Afraid to criticise guys they might know.

    Where is the criticism of OGS from Rio etc?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,645 ✭✭✭RollieFingers


    Spurs need to relax here or he will get sacked :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,452 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    They do need a CB, did you not see that first half?

    So why are they going to spend big on Cavani this week?

    can cavani play CB?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,255 ✭✭✭eigrod


    100% agree.

    United have spent close to a billion in transfers and gone backwards.

    Just because they spend £80million on a CB doesn't mean it'll work. Magiore was worth nowhere near it.

    A better manager will get more out of this team but as has been proven in the last 7 years, if you have the same board in charge, United will go nowhere.

    They have an awful record in replacing managers too. Since Matt Busby retired in 1969, only 1 has won the league and/or CL for them. Admittedly they had a glorious 20 years in that 51 years with that one manager, but all the other managers were sacked.

    Ole can rightly say the red card changed the game and use that to save his job.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,185 ✭✭✭✭rob316


    Why sign Sancho when you have the least competent manager in the entire league.

    He better, we're all relying on it.

    That's enough of that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,564 ✭✭✭RugbyLover123


    Find it bizarre how United haven’t been linked with a 6 all summer. Rice would be a good fit for them. Or when Kante was rumoured to be leaving Chelsea a few weeks back I’d have bid for him. A top class 6 in front of the CBs would improve them a fair bit I think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,385 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    All this talk of Pochetino, but Big Sam's the man you need for a relegation fight. Get Kevin Davies in with him and they'll be sorted.

    They gave Matic who is 32 and his legs are going a new 3 year contract instead.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,863 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Fred & McTominay deemed not good enough to start the game.

    Says a lot that Pogba is shunted out to the left wing of when they came on.

    Says it all.

    Ole is a problem.

    Woodward is a problem.

    Glazers are a problem.

    I missed that. That is shocking haha

    They think a striker, who will be 34 in February and has never played in a physically intense league like the Premier League or Bundesliga, is the answer to their problems right now.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,895 ✭✭✭sabat


    If Spurs get 2 more, he'd have to be summarily dismissed tonight, no debate. 7-1 at home is a "****ting on the boss's desk" type offence.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,336 ✭✭✭✭Francie Barrett


    Maguire is a sham of a player, but it's equally amazing how Pogba seems to escape the same criticism. Been completely missing today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,185 ✭✭✭✭rob316


    I missed that. That is shocking haha

    Or giving Phil Jones a new contract to protect his value hahaha


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    A lot of players at Man U now with big contracts and no real sell on value or like Pogba his contract is running down and he's not signing a new one by the looks of it.


    A lot of wasted money.


    Signing Sancho would just be papering over the cracks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,635 ✭✭✭✭tom1ie

    Would you stop!
    Spurs were the superior team even when it’s had 11 players on the pitch.

    Ole won't be scoring 5 or more against a former club again. He'll be lucky to get another managerial job.

    Pogba doesn't escape, maybe in the media - not from fans.

    Shouldn't be near that starting 11.

    VDB is signed for £40million and doesn't even get brought on, it's baffling.
