He was originally a forward and if you see him play for Scotland he is a different player when allowed to go forward. Two goals against Spain and keeps scoring for Scotland

some of the sarcastic replies are magical. this is why i come here..for the sarcasm and football knowledge.
I think I exaggerated the number. It should be 90% of very vocal people here, rather than from the whole base.
Yeah. I knew he started out as a striker, so cannot understand why they think he can sit so deep.It's incredible that it's the players with the most experience who play the worst in time: Varane, Casemiro, Onana, Rashford, Bruno
My gran would have made those Onana saves..they weren't saves. They were right at him.you know what..i like Mctominay, despite what i said earlier..
i keep him in the cellar. Never use him, just keep him around..
Isn't it loveleyyy! Peed my pants out of joy when he scored. Not ashamed to admit it.Lovely
Then spilled my juice all over my living room. Now to clean my self or the room first, that is the question?
I don’t care as I know what you meant .. BUT I am sure you know that in this day and age where black players have gotten bananas thrown at them, calling a black player “bananas”, is a bit tone deaf.
When he came into the team Mourinho had him as a big defensive player and he would just do what he was told. He has played in the back four ffs. But it isn't his best position and in all honesty he has had indifferent games. But Steve Clark for Scotland saw he had different attributes and gets the best out of him. He is a forward looking attacking midfielder who gets up and down the pitch. He is a versatile player. But pays the price for his willingness to play wherever. He could easily play as a false nine even.
You're in the wrong place here then.Isn't it loveleyyy! Peed my pants out of joy when he scored. Not ashamed to admit it.

Good luck getting cleanTen Hag's view of the game is utterly nonsense. He doesn't think we got away with that. They kept going the whole game," he said. "We were losing but the belief was always there. We created chances but the ball was not going in the net."
He thinks there is a spirit. There was zero until the end. This result paper's over the cracks and he must open his eyes to that.
McT proved Ten Hag wrong. So undeserved but good to see McTominay show a bit of movement in the box. I'll take anything remotely positive given the state of our football right now.
It wasn't undeserved at all though, we weren't world beating or anything, but we were by far the more ambitious team.
Maybe today I did.
This is true. Good coaches know we struggle to break teams down. So they sit behind the ball and look to break at us knowing we are shaky at the back. It thankfully didn't work at the death.
Yeah, like me.
Changing everything in the club won’t make Ten Hag a competent manager.
Yes it was. They scored and sat back and soaked up the pressure and looked dangerous on the break. We struggled to make any chances at all, it was the last 10mins that we started to really pen them back in their final third that we finally started to make chances.
A draw would have been fair, but wouldn't have begrudged them the win. Us winning was daylight robbery. Much needed robbery.
Perhaps, but with our luck this season we’ve been due a break. Also our “robbery” was just good fortune, we didn’t get any favourable decisions from the official. Whereas for the most of the season we were getting terrible bad luck and serveral horrendous decisions going against us.
Nah that's a huge exaggeration, we had them beaten in basically every metric, they got the goal through a mistake and defended for their lives the entire second half.
We did get away with it, but almost the whole game was all United, but without great quality chances.
You don't come back for a win like that without spirit.
Yeah I agree that we struggle to break teams down, it's been an issue we've had for about a decade. I had hoped that the high pressing approach with the high turnovers would help, but the players haven't figured out how to take advantage of those yet.
Nah, you're being too positive based on your defence of Ten Hag. We play like that again for 90mins and we'll drop more points. Simply nowhere near good enough.
You know it's not the manager. We certainly won't know until we chase out the corrupt, parasitic, team destroying ownership. At the very least, they aren't competent enough to hire proper custodians of the team. Half a dozen managers hired and fired should be enough to do more than distract from the fact that they've raped and pillaged this club and haven't been punished by the fans. Bye for now, I'm sure this will trigger some delicate souls. I don't wish to offend, but we need to grow a set and sort this team from its rotten head to it's toes.
Sorry your day was ruined
We should have used him instead of Wout Weghorst.
2 saves he had to make
It's not even a defence of Ten Hag, it's just a basic analysis of the game. We had way more shots, possession, territory, and general attacking intent, which resulted in better chances, a higher xG, etc. Brentford set out the same way Palace did last weekend, aiming for a point, hoping to nick a goal, which they did, and sit on it. The difference is, we actually made our chances count, eventually.
We do need to work on our ability to unpick parked busses, no doubt, teams are able to shut us out too easily at the moment. But there's a reason teams adopt that tactic, because it works, this is the same Brentford team that did the double of City last season with the same approach.Never knew or seen the score until now as was out all day and the phone reception was poor.
Blimey what a conclusion but happy to have got the 3 points which is all that mattered today. Quite fitting both our goals came in injury time which late goals is something we always did under SAF. Of course football is going to be on the back of his mind right now after this recent tragic loss of his loved one but I’m sure it would have brought a smile on his face. Lady Cathy will have been proud.Last edited:
So he is being sacked after Anfield then
The City game is like the Anfield game now. ETH has to survive till then, the he has to get a favorable result in that game. If he survives the City game he will be United coach for some foreseeable future.
Gonna be a huge ask because we will have to partner Varane with Maguire/Evans. We won't have Shaw or AWB back until November either
Part of the reson is because we don't play Thursday nights- Status
