    Leading the line isn't just about back to goal though. Which he is still okay at for my money. It's about having someone that actually plays up against defenders, occupies defenders, isn't scared of contact, makes strikers runs. With Rashford or anyone else up front we're utter crap because...
  2. Alejandro Garnacho | 2023/24 Performances

    Typical young winger really. Immaturity to his game but plenty of ability. Earlier in the season I thought he'd found relative consistency but that's gone backwards. Not too concerned he still regularly shows his talent but he needs to pull his head out of his arse, learn it's a team game and...
  3. Aaron Wan-Bissaka | 2023/24 Performances

    It's getting to the stage of being fairly embarrassing this player is turning out in a United shirt for so long. Unacceptably bad on the ball and not engaged with the game, switches off. So if he can't defend and can't take the ball what can you expect from him game to game. If it was about the...
  4. No European football next season | Unless we win the FA Cup, then we get Europa League

    Do you pilot the aircraft on European away days.. Not sure what kind of explanation this is supposed to be, what has the travel to said clubs got to do with anything?
  5. No European football next season | Unless we win the FA Cup, then we get Europa League

    I would always rather be in Europe than not. Even if it's the Conference league. Can't understand as a fan why you would not want to. This is Man United, you're supposed to have a squad, an academy, tiredness is no reason. They're valuable fixtures for developing players as a minimum, some mid...

    Nah, that's a straw man - Kabayal isn't a random. He's beaten a couple of decent names of late, undefeated guys, punchers, not guys you'd be queuing your prospect up to face- particularly last night was a good scalp for him. There's a reason he was on the bill, he isn't far off getting into...

    Made a huge impact. Without him leading the line we're in massive trouble. Needs some support next season and better performances from those around him to create. Plus needs to work on his own shortcomings which is completely expected at his age.
  8. Mason Mount | 2023/24 Performances

    Awful signing. Even if he improves it's still a terrible waste of 60 million quid because at his best he's not someone that's hugely impressive. Decent, yes. And he might never actually improve, it's happened to this type of neat and tidy attacking midfielder before at the club. Unless you're...

    Nobody's at the level until they reach the level. Thats how it is in any combat sport. Both guys are showing big vulnerabilities which is normal because they're getting on now. Matter of time until the torch is passed.
  10. The RedCafe Boxing Thread

    Bit inconsistent here, first you're saying he doesn't have the punch to fight like a Kronk fighter then you want him going forward and being aggressive! I agree though, he should have been pushing Usyk back more because there is a vulnerability to Usyk. He's just very good at managing that...

    Who's Wilder actually beat though? He had a lot of dross lined up to stack up his record. I don't think how dangerous he was can be confused with his actual pedigree, Detontay didn't fight and beat enough quality fighters but he was certainly fearsome. I think Fury needed last night to cement...

    I think both these fellas would struggle with Kabayal. He's fresh, younger, brings a lot of pressure, Usyk would struggle to the body big time. I'd call it a day if I was them because there's nothing they're gonna do that will enhance their standing. Well, Fury could rematch Usyk, that's his...
  13. The RedCafe Boxing Thread

    To be honest I think the years have caught up with Fury. He was better in this simply because he was much fitter than the Ngannou fight but it's still visible that he's on the downward curve in his career now. He's younger than Usyk but he's taken the more damaging blows in his career. His...
  14. Diogo Dalot | 2023/24 Performances

    Grown into a dependable player this year. I think he's got a bit to go to be classed among the best but he has done enough to be relatively content with him going into next season. Which is a big step as at the season start there would have been a huge question mark over him. I think when Jose...
  15. Rasmus Højlund | 2023/24 Performances

    I think you might be overcompensating against the critics. Not sure he's ready to score 30-40 goals in any side. The team has flaws but so does he. Which is expected, he's a young player from Atalanta, his first season was a huge ask, and the performance of the team wasn't helpful.
