    The injuries we’ve got…how the feck are we supposed to do anything with this squad?

    If he wrong about his defending? Genuine question as I've barely seen him play.

    No. Davies is the weak link in that defense and a subpar defender. But in order to exploit it you need to be able to play behind him when he carelessly plays high or you need to be able to isolate him. This season United has shown the ability to do neither of these things and our right side is likely to be demolished by Davies and whoever plays above him.

    Interesting take from Scholes. He’d of bought Kane over 3 signings. So let’s just abandon the keeper and CM area…

    Ex Fergie players are notoriously pretty dumb in their actual opinions on squad building, management, etc... What worked under Fergie pretty much only worked under fergie, don't think a lot of them realize this.
     
    Well Pellestri is starting so a lot of people will have got their wish, going to be a tough game for him.

    Might get banned for this but what the feck are you on about? Yes, he goes high to overlap and create 2v1 on the side, but he is not in any measure a weak link. That would be Ulreich.

    It’s a fair comment. I’d say it’s not that Davies is ‘bad’ but given his role he leaves a lot space and so if you can win possession and move the ball into that space quickly, you’re immediately going to cause issues.

    Goretza and Kimmich can run for days. We need Mctominay instead of Eriksen.

    Yes, McTominay's 26 touches per game will surely make a huge difference.

    I'm on about outfield players. Unless Ulreich is not playing as a goalkeeper, I wpuld assume that you understood it perfectly.

    Why does anyone still listen to these class of 92 guys on anything? There's a reason they've all failed as managers.
     
    Scholes talks some shite. “Just buy them both”. Really? Is this the level of analysis we get these days?
     
    Honestly think Pellistri could do a Robertson. He was also inexplicably out by Klopp.
     
    Im so nervous before CL games, it gets to me every time.

    I hope United is as bad today as most of you think haha.

    Lets hope for an interesting game, cheers

    I agree mate. It’s not that we’re listening it’s that we have no choice when there spouting crap on a Chanel everyone’s watching :lol:

    Then how is he a weak link? I can't grasp it. In my mind he is the best LB in the world, especially offensively, but his defensive work gets overlooked way too often. Was a beast vs barcelona.

    He talks sense.

    Biggest club in the world should be signing the best players as well as the best prospects.

    Stop lowering expectations.
     
    I think we will still get out of the group even if we lose both games to these. Galatasaray and Copenhagen aren’t anything special.

    That only works if we have the budget. People seem to think we’re playing FM or fantasy football. Teams don’t have unlimited money.

    Okay, he is strong link then.
     
    Only Caf can go mental on a simple Ten Hag quote where he wasn't even saying anything false. :lol:
