    He certainly grew into the game. Looks promising and should be given a run. Looks an upgrade on Höjlund. Why not we've nothing to lose!
  • simplyared replied to the thread Joshua Zirkzee | 2024/25 Performances.
    For his standards he got himself involved today. Certainly showing more urgency. However he's still light years away from the required level.

    Agree! seen enough of all of em making livings out of playing under Sir Alex and what the feck is Ian Wright doing there? Rio is the only ex utd player who imo is any good.
  • simplyared replied to the thread The Bruno Fernandes appreciation thread.
    Roy Kean's latest rant after tearing into Bruno, was an embarassment. But what amazes me most is the amount of people on here who agree with him. Talent is not enough apparently? Respect please for a player, who without, we'd be relegated.
  • simplyared replied to the thread Post match vs Ipswich Town.
    Yes we put in a good team effort with ten men. However lucky opponents were Championship level (they're going down). Any other team (inkl Southampton) would have beaten us. Both Zirkzee and Höjlund are passengers who bring feck all to the table...

    Watched him again for Villa coming off the bench on 65 mins. He just doesn't put the effort into it. Could even rub off on the rest of the team (apart from McGinn) as they are starting to look like utd.
  • simplyared replied to the thread Josko Gvardiol.
    Wouldn't call him an outright left wingback (he's more defender) but is there a better player in his position right now? Not his problem he's playing in a rubbish City team. On a 5 year contract could well be stuck there.

    Keane's attack on Bruno was way out of order imho. He's actually becoming very very boring. Him having a proper go at Bruno was unexpected, but most of the things he comes out with are very predictable. Then you've got Ian Wright who's frightened...
  • simplyared replied to the thread Rashford | Villa | Loan with option to buy.
    Yes of course he's a threat to any team. Even in a utd shirt. However the problem is, and I watched him closely yesterday, his backtracking. His natural desire to win the ball back or chase his marker. Yesterday he had Trent marking him and it...
  • simplyared replied to the thread Rashford | Villa | Loan with option to buy.
    He's just been replaced on 65 mins. Didn't take him long before its looking iffy. His backtracking is just non existent and when he does try and get back he's going through the motions. Tbh he looks like he can't be arsed.
  • simplyared replied to the thread Rashford | Villa | Loan with option to buy.
    What was made clear yesterday was Villa have better players than we have in almost every position. If he can't cut it with those players around him then he'd struggle in the Championship. If he's in the right frame of mind (which is of course the...
  • simplyared replied to the thread Rashford | Villa | Loan with option to buy.
    He's only been there 5 mins and he's already making himself sound ridiculous. "I know when I'm playing at my best I can decide football games" Surely he's in no position to make statements like that.
  • simplyared replied to the thread Power struggle.
    Spot on thread! It's men against boys in every game. Seems like powerhouse players the likes of Joelinton etc, who are more strength than skill, playing as AM or FW, are the in thing nowadays. Most teams have at least a couple of these in their...
  • simplyared replied to the thread Pep Guardiola agrees 1 year contract extension | Includes additional 1 year option.
    I believe his days could be numbered. His team has folded up and his team selections have been way off. He's gone from genius to mad scientist overnight. The players surely can't still be behind him!
  • simplyared replied to the thread Post match vs Crystal Palace.
    It was made so obvious today and even in the defeat against Newcastle. Both teams strong physically with bulldozers in their teams. We cant compete with them!
