    Huge game on Sunday. Thankfully it's not at their new place, which looks amazing.

    I can 100% confirm it wont be at their new place.

    He did say, thankfully, not hopefully, to be fair.

    Alex had no success before joining Man U that might the funniest thing I have seen on here in years.

    He had several successes with Aberdeen including three Scottish premier league titles, a UEFA cup and a super cup.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Will we see Ox against Spurs? Will Mane play central due to his goal scoring form. Should we play the boring 3 or put Keita back in to mix it up.
    Keita always looked good when played, but then he's dropped again and out in the cold.

    Are you the new Moley, a super ITK with great insider knowledge like this?

    As much chance of me playing against Spurs on Sunday as Ox playing I'd say.

    I'd be surprised if we see Ox in the first team at all this season unless there is nobody else available or nothing to play for in the league. Get him fit and raring to go again for pre-season.

    We mite see him if we are 2 goals up in a game near the end of the season, or if we have 2 games left and stuck in 2nd place,

    Himself and Brewster should use this time to be 100% ready for pre-season

    As for whoever said Keita always looks good when he plays, that is simply NOT TRUE ,


  • Moderators, Music Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 25,740 Mod ✭✭✭✭Boom_Bap


    We might see Ox on the bench, if there is some sort of comfortable lead, we could see him for the last 5 minutes of a match.


    But that's quite the risk if we already have a full bench.

    Give him five added time sub appearances just in case! :)

    Ferguson won a cup winner's cup and europen super cup, on top of domestic leagues and cups with Aberdeen. He even manged Scotland at a World Cup !!! You'd swear the fella was plucked from obscurity before the united job. :D

    That had been discussed before ;)

    Glad i brightened up your day, good to laugh!
    My knowledge of united managers history 30 years ago isnt the most accurate.

    What did Keita do to you in a past life? You just won't let a Keita conversation pass without complaining about him. After about the 147th time it really doesn't need repeating anymore.

    Unfortunately he has done NOTHING and that is the problem ;)

    I was just replying to someone who said he was good when he plays AND then get dropped which is not true,

    Someone pull out the stats of the win rate with Keita in the squad.

    There quite high but you could also argue that because he does not start in the big games,

    The manger does not trust him due to his poor displays so he does not start the majority of big games

    We can afford to play him against teams we are likely to batter, he did not start the following 10 massive games

    Chelsea away ,
    City home & away
    United away
    Arsenal home & away
    PSG HOME & AWAY
    Napoli home
    Bayern away


    Only big games he has started
    Spurs (away )
    United (home who where awful at that stage)
    Bayern ( home proabably because he is used to German football )


    Hey may yet feature in Spurs and Chelsea at home .,

    My bad he also started Napoli away but only last 5 or so minutes

    So he is being managed on how he is being given game time and has helped the team perform when he has been on the pitch.


    So yeah, nothing.

    Obviously that is what a manger should do of course but you can not for one second argue that he has lived up to the hype,

    We paid well over 50 million for him and waited a whole season and now if he isn't in a match day squad he isn't even missed,

    He still has time to come good and I really hope he does but I can't see how anyone could be happy with what he has shown so far,
    Just because we support Liverpool does not mean we should blindly big up players ,

    Keita has bee poor so far , hopefully he can turn things around ,
    I am not bashing him or writing him off, it just my critique of what he has done so far ,

    20 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses.
    18 wins 4 draws in premier league alone.

    Is the above starts or appearances ?

    We have failed to win 8 times in the Prem and as your above he has been involved in half of them ,

    To be fair anyone who played for Liverpool this season can only have one Premier league loss on there stats,

    Team stats tell you feck all about players .
    How many looses have we had this season in totally 6 is it ? Keita started in 3 of them ,

    It's quite funny when discussing Keita people want to look at team stats and not just judge him on how he has actually effected games

    It's also funny that people who talk about him not affecting games have not noticed that he is playing completely different roles than what he is used to but yet still performing while doing so.

    " performing while doing so "

    Come on man lets be real he has probably had max 3 good games and that is being kind,

    He can turn it around of course ,but up to this point how could you not be disappointed by him

    I hope he bangs in one the weekend and gets man of the match , but so far he has been poor its ok to tell the truth ,

    There may be valid reason for his poor form but its still poor form .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,381 ✭✭✭Nerdlingr


    Keita hasn't performed as we wanted or hoped. Dont think anyone can deny that.
    He hasn't lived up to the price tag. Hopefully its just settling in issues and we see the real Naby next year..or preferably in the coming weeks!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,941 ✭✭✭✭citytillidie


    Back to this, not all players will hit the ground running in a new league some take time to adjust to the pace and intensity of the premier league. He has also had some injuries I say give him time and you may see a better side of him. Just don't throw him out with the bath water as he has shown some potential to be given that time

    I agree with everything you have said
    There are a number of reason for his poor form but it is still poor form .,
    Its ok to judge a player on his performances
