If it comes down to moving Martial into the CF position because Zlatan has left and we need to accomodate Griezmann and Sanchez as wide forwards then damn it we will just have to do it. Sometimes you just have to accept that sacrifices must be made.

Would Zlatan be effective on the wing??

Hard to critique Martial on last night. I thought he tried hard when he came on but players like him will be hurt by that pitch more than most.

I was speaking of the season as a whole, last night is a bit of an outlier for everybody.

Having the nationality as a clue makes this one pretty easy I thought.

90 seconds to get all 20...mostly because I wasted a bunch of time because I

thought I'd already included Andy Cole

when I hadn't. Having the nations makes it too easy. Might have struggled without that.

It boggles my mind that we can honestly say we are unbeaten in the league for so long, and show such little progress for it on the face of things. The draws just continue to make me so mad

I rarely forget Saha, he was one of my favourite players, he would have been world class in my opinion if not for those damn injuries.

Has there ever been an unbeaten run in the league as long as this where a team has stayed in the same position (apart from if they were in first place of course)? It is pretty amazing really.

I'm over this season. I've wrote off a top 4 finish and pinning all my hopes on EL. If we get passed Chelsea in the Cup then great but if we get knocked out ill barely care as it lightens our fixture congestion.

I'm of the opinion the EL is a booby prize unless you win it.

Lord TSC

The fun will start if we miss out top 4 AND lose in the EL

Over the season? We have a great chance in most competitions (aside the prem title) we can definitely get top 4 and Europa and maybe even a decent FA cup run.

Which is extremely likely based on performances and results. We are very lucky that Lyon and Roma were drawn together as I couldn't see us overcoming both of them. Maybe one.

I don't understand why we are being linked with this Mertens guy. Martial will score as many this season as Mertens usually gets. He's having a freak goal scoring season this year and he's 29.

You don't understand why newspapers desperate for clicks might have generated a clickbait bulls**t story relating to one of the biggest clubs in the world? You really can't get your head around that?

The meaning of my post was actually to question why we would be interested in him. Then other posters might like to contribute or argue in his favour.

But you carry on jumping on every opportunity to be a condescending arsehole.

It really depends on his contract situation im not sure what it is. Someone said to me the other day he was out of contract soon now of you could get him for the right price he would be a decent signing.

While His tally of goals this year is hight its also worth nothing he is usually been played out wide in previous years but he is constantly the main striker this year and has been consistently banging them in.

In respect to his age if you bought him for 20 to 30 million and got 3 or so seasons out of him that would not be bad business in today's market.

Mertens can play left or attacking midfield or up front on his own he has a decent amount of quality.

Not them I was referring to.
I think there's a section of fans who loved giving out about Jose when he came and early in the season. The results (i.e. not losing **** all) has kept them at bay, but there'll be many who'll love the chance to jump back on him if we miss CL football. again.

Good player Sanchez, but I'd be grand with us not signing him either.

anyone really think that Pogba was worth anywhere near a world record fee ?
I dont if we got him for maybe €45 million then ok but he has shown nothing to warrant his record fee.

give the lad a break, everyone expects him to be this amazing ****, united are still adjusting to mhou, he is still 23 thats a **** ton of pressure, I'll judge him towards the end of his tenure with us not near the start
