That is just wrong thinking. If he is levels bellow that he is not good for bench either. Bench players play a lot and when they play they must be on certain standard.Giggs will pay for his crimes one day.Greenwood is going to be the best player in the league in a few years time.very entertaining first half. United look sharp and full of energy; bruno the standout player… James has done ok but his final ball and goal attempts are poor and suggest sancho will replace him at 60 minutes.
Leeds are 2nd best first half but still pose a threat. Lindeloff played well martial king Bamford who is their main threat. Fred quiet?Please stop all the posts about the general match, this is the Dan James criticism thread.
Mods can you make sure people remain on topic please? Thanks.
I can't believe that guy had the audacity to shoot. What an idiot.Greenwood has been really goodSancho for James is the obvious-est sub in the world.
No idea, but it's shocking from Sky. With such ingrained prejudice from football watchers, the least they could do is have a lady commentator who can not stop mid sentence all the time, makes cogent arguments, and sounds somewhat competent overall. She's horrific.
"Manchester United want to buy a DM so they can play with 1 holding midfielder and be more adventurous" - Another example. Spoken in absolutes and utter BS.
It's no exaggeration
Jesus Christ, this thread has some low quality contentSancho in for James is surely coming up. I love this game! So happy to see us back.Bruno is absolutely ridiculous. Like a cheat code.
James is such a frustrating player. He actually looks like he doesn't belong there.
I feel like once Sancho comes in we'll transform drastically.
His shot is so weak. This is why you shouldn't skip leg days, kidsJames did what he can... unfortunately he's not that goal scoring winger nor a playmaker. We've known this all along. Maybe give Sancho his debut in the 2nd half?2 more goals to go top of the PL, let's go!Good first half that, game should be done really. I’m interested to see how fit Sancho is, hopefully he can have at least half an hour, an open match like this should be ideal for him.
Oh, I agree he needs to go but we just seem allergic to selling. Outside of that, he should be on the bench because we have 9 players there.
But how Amad and Elanga don't get a chance ahead of him is crazy.FFS leave James alone everyone. He’s been one of our better players and his energy has been vital. Yes his finishing and decision making needs work but he’s been good.James needs to eat more.
I’d rather he doesn’t play any games. Play youngsters when neededA really promising half from us.
Mctominay, Bruno and Greenwood have all shown their quality at various points. We're pressing high and look lethal on the break.
Not to mention Sancho, Varane, Cavani and Rashford are still to come. Shit is looking good.Good first half. Not really 100% but it is first game of the season. In controll. We need to be better on set pieces and transformation defending to attacking because there are spaces We can use.Sancho must be feeling insulted sitting on the bench with James on the pitch.
Transfer request after the game?
Yep, hopefully he will come on at 60 probably. Hopefully.
Ability?
This is true. Should be sent on loan to Leeds.
AbsolutelyPogba playing like an off-form Bruno - got the statistic, some good moments, and lots of sloppiness.
Greenwood, Bruno, McT, AWB excellent.
Our assessment is way off. His tracking and defending has been good but his runs with the ball into our players quite too often.Great fluid game, we need to score a second goal and give Sancho some minutes.
I'm going for the usual 70+ minute sub Sancho in James out.
Agreed45mins into new season and people are already complaining and picking on a player
You don’t have to always pick on a player to support your team
It’s a team game and we can only win the league with all the squad members helping out
Very Nice 1st half— we need 1 more goal to enjoy this gameSurely Sancho is fit enough to play 45 minutes?
Also, Greenwood is the real deal. Going to be our main striker in 3/4 years
He stands out like a sore thumb. Not united quality , simple as.I'm not watching the game, but the comments in here re James are depressing. Yeah he's not Ronaldo, but he is a useful squad player.
He reminds me a bit of Sterling actually, great instinct to be in the right place but quality on the ball not matching his intelligence. No shame in it, it still makes him a player that causes the opposition a lot of problems.Playing well. James is obviously the weak link and should be moved on before the window closes.Dan James please put in a transfer request.Greenwood seems to have gone up a level, feels like a new signing almost. His all-round game is improving.
James off for Sancho in the second half and we should seal the win.McTominay has been so good this half. Fred on the other hand seems to have that Lukaku touch today, ruined a couple of good plays of ours with it- Status
