General Premier League Thread 2020-21 - Mod Notes in 1st post. [Updated 17/12/20]

Ole looks like a deer in headlights every time I see him being interviewed these days.

Watching him being asked about starting Maguire and dropping Pogba.

He signed in September 15th. Since then he's only lost twice in the league , both away to Liverpool and Man City.

Should be ashamed of himself. :rolleyes:

Such a nonsense post.

Maybe my point wasn't clear enough but I specifically mentioned top 6 sides which includes City and Liverpool.

You pay the big players the big money to turn up in games like that and he more often than not goes missing in those games.

He's not just a forward, he's the captain. The Henry/Vieira/Adams etc

I said it after the Liverpool game too, he should be ashamed of a captains performance where he barely gets any touches.

My opinion: take the captaincy off him. You need more steel for top 6 games than he shows. He's a world class player, he doesn't need the burden of the armband, I think he'll score more without it

I'd say the same if someone said here give Salah the armband because he's the most talented player on the team. Might work for Egypt or Gabon but PL you expect the Keane/Gerrard/Noble/Kompany/Terry etc etc characters. I'm not a fan of just giving it to the best attacker. I think it also burdens Messi unnecessarily

Yeah he was crap today and crap against Liverpool. However he scored 4 goals in games against Man City and Chelsea in the FA cup semi final and Final only a couple of months ago. Anyway if he scores 25-30 goals this season, regardless of who they are against then he’s worth his new contract.

Well this game is going to be interesting.

Wtf.

Come on United, need a win here to keep the Ole show on the road.

Just saw that Greenwood isn't even on the bench for Man U is it injury or self isolation or something else?

Lovely goal.

United really are becoming a one-man team.

They fixed VAR.

Maguire scores! Pleased for him.

De Gea doesn’t look good

Not a fan of the short hair beard combo right now myself.

United are playing well since the goal conceded

Great save there from De Gea.
