Manchester United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2017

Backstreet Moyes

Got Phil Jones into the fantasy team big risk.

On another note anyone who questions are we playing better.

Just think of how many games De Gea had to pull off loads of saves in a game the last few years.

Compared to this season I forget he is playing some games.

Except that he has dropped a few clangers already this season. Needs to up his game again, seems to have dropped off a bit. Maybe time to give Romero a bit of a run in the EPL to get DDG fired up again

we may have improved in other departments but we are conceding more goals than we have usually.

tbh by the high standards he set i think de gea is having a poor season. not making saves he would have made in his sleep over the last few years

Castles has now written we've opened talks for Lindelof....

In fairness to Degea he's spent the last few seasons being peppered with shots having to make multiple saves every game. Now he's having to get used to doing nothing for 89 minutes but being ready to make that big save when needed.

The chaos crosses cause us in defence is a big worry.

Other than that the performances compared to last year have improved dramatically. Watching United was a chore last year, this year it's entertaining at least.

Wait... I'm confused. I thought we were boring and negative. Remember that 2nd half at Anfield?
I'm pretty sure we must base all our opinions on the style of play on that 45 minutes... at least it feels that way.

jayo26

I don't care about the few extra goals we conceded we can't have it both ways it's as simple as putting away a bigger percentage of the clear cut chances we make. If we had of scored another go four or five goals we would not be even thinking about de gea.

What would concern me is the lack of concentration in conceded goals at stupid times in the first five minutes that something we have to cut out.

I agree and it is partly down to the defenders but also partly down to De Gea.
For all his brilliant goal keeping attributes, the one major flaw in his game is his reluctance to leave his line.

bucketybuck

The number of goals we have conceded is a minor concern to my mind, we aren't exactly leaking goals by the dozens are we. Certain goals at certain times have hurt us but as has already been said, had we put away our chances those goals conceded would be irrelevant. 15 goals conceded, 18 goals scored, its not the goals conceded tally that is problem out of those two numbers.

If anybody has time they might want to go back through Fergies years and check the goals conceded column, they might find it interesting. In the treble year for instance we conceded 20 more league goals than 2nd placed Arsenal...

sky88

to be honest i wouldnt care if we conceded ever game but won them.

The biggest and most important issue right now is scoring goals and untill that is sorted we wont make any progress.

Your hatred may run deep but I hope your devotion to your favourite football club runs deeper than your devotion to your favourite band as they released YNWA on YouTube back in Feb. You're just 10 months out of date there

Quite a good version actually

the band didn't release it, some fan uploaded it to youtube, they've now put it down on vinyl, which my original post said.

not even gonna click on that link or i'll spew

OK, so maybe the band didn't publish YNWA on their official band channel but given they are one of your favourite bands I'm surprised that in addition to the Feb video you didn't notice the following:-

June 2016

or my personal favourite the version at the Hurricane Festival in Germany but only uploaded last month which sees 40,000 belting it out.

From a purely musical perspective, putting football related matters aside, which version of YNWA do you think the Dropkick Murphy's are most proud of?

Nah, you were just seeing how many videos of You'll Never Walk Alone you could get in the United thread.

In fairness YNWA was a United song and Celtic use it so it's not that bad.

And about 20 other clubs mostly in Germany. And it's been covered by literally everyone over the years, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Frank Sinatra, Pink Floyd, Nina Simone, Louis Armstrong, Paul McCartney (Everton fan)......and many many more. It's definitely not just a Liverpool FC thing

With cunning plans like that, so perfectly executed, I really think he is in with a shout of being the next Bond villain.




I dunno why people would get in a lather about a shyte song tbh.

If the OP feels that strongly about making that link that he's not going to buy the album then fair enough, but I don't see the issue.

Sure in this day and age you can easily download an album and delete an individual track or make a playlist and never have to go near it. What I'm saying is that them recording it has nothing to do with Liverpool so staying away completely on principle doesn't seem to make sense to me, if anything it's probably because of Celtic that they picked it up?

Lord TSC

Right lads, back on topic please. Mods will look over the last few posts and make the decision on if anything needs to be done, but in the meantime, back to Man United please.

Hadn't seen this before. A letter from Fergie to Cantona after he'd retired. Is it legit? Sure plenty here have seen before.

Yeah have seen that over the years, i think Fergie and/or Cantona confirmed that it was real a few years ago.

Shows the man that Fergie was to the players and why players still refer to him as the Boss even when the leave/retire

py2006

It doesn't really sound like Alex. Why is he talking about how the team is doing?? Odd

Anyone see the Joe Hart interview on Sky sports news? Absolutely brilliant attitude from that guy and further shows what I thought for a long time that he's an absolute gentleman.

Always thought he came across as a complete ass hole.Maybe his fall from grace gave him some humility .

I seen him doing that thing on sky news where they meet a fan that's been sick and I thought he was one of the nicest blokes but you can't tell Same as anyone when the cameras are rolling.

Nah he was always the same when getting interviewed. Seems a sound bloke. Cocky git when on the field but tbf he was a top player so entitled to a bit of that.

Hard to believe how good Chelsea have been recently. On paper at least, their squad and first team isn't really much better than our own.

Kerrydude1981

Utd arent even playing and Tyler still had to mention Jose

How Soon Is Now

What a first season from Conte to turn around the Chelsea team.

sky88

City have the same problems as us can't finish their chances but have a worse defence

Kerrydude1981

Conor Mcgregor would be proud of that flying tackle

deaddonkey15

That was shocking from Aguero.

Liam McPoyle

Is Pep a broken toilet?

adox

Jaysus all kicked off at the Etihad. Delighted to see Augero off for a shocker of a challenge like that. Got away with it too often.

WTF was Fernandinho at with Fabregas? Deserved red too. Crowd involved and everything. Mad!
