Look, even SAF would put experienced players who are used rarely on the bench becuase sometimes it isn't as simple as designating a spot or two for 'wonderkids'. There's an element of keeping a group and the human beings forming it happy and at the very least content. That's something you and me don't see.
If he plans and selling Rojo and Darmian in the summer I’d prefer to see Lee get some game time.
While I agree that team morale and spirit should be kept in tact, I think we are doing quite the opposite by giving lifelines to under performing and quite average players too much of a chance and it's one of the reasons we are where we are. After all we are talking about a group of players who have generally under performed and let this club down many times. This club owes them feck all and we should be more ruthless in how we deal with deadwood.
Rojo and Darmian should have been sold 2 summers ago. They are pocketing weekly salaries while contributing shit all.
I agree, no idea why they're still here. Both crap just flog them.
Ole seems like the same school of though as Jose, waste time and space on dross like those 2.
Rojo at LB incoming.
Oh stop with this crap. Wolves away was a game that we could not have afforded to lose, we did because our experienced RB and captain committed 2 stupid yellow cards in 5 minutes. Arsenal at home was a must game for this team, Rojo scored an own goal and was horrible. Feck them. Every game is a must win game for this club, every game. Wasting minutes on sub standard overpaid shit footballers does feck all. I'd rather a kid get minutes and commit an error than watching some of that dross make mistake after another and still getting picked.
Well we went into this season with dire situation in the full back department and only added Dalot. He is here in order to help and all 38 games in the Pl are a must win game for this club. Giving a chance to a young full back instead of Rojo at LB is perfectly logical to me. Even at his best days he was a shit LB for us, why would I want him to play a "must win game" for us? I sincerely have so low expectation from dross like him, Young, Darmian and Jones, that I really feel that giving a kid a chance is a win win situation for us.
There isn't much logic in playing a returning injuree who has no fitness or match practice, is tried and tested and proven to be absolute shite at LB, and was outplayed by that young full-back just last week either.
He's played exclusively at full-back for the u23s bar 2 matches. Unfortunately, though he's been consistently moved around and when he does get to play full-back its largely on the left. He's been a star player for the u18/19s and instead of prioritizing his development we've shifted him all over the place to accomodate bang average shit like George Tanner. He was played at CB for the u18s/u19s simply because he was that much better than everyone. If they refuse to even have him in the match day squad when both of our full-backs are out then I hope he leaves on a permanent in the summer. He's one of the biggest talents Ireland have produced in years and he's already pretty much wasted a year under Sbragia's garbage, time to move on and stop stagnating here.
Firstly Dalot is not a teenager full back, he just turned 20, he's also a guy that we paid 22m euros. He's vulnerable at the back but I'd rather have him at RB than Ashley Young who is as vulnerable in defense as he is shit in attack. Secondly Rojo is not a LB, he is a shit CB and even worse LB, a player that should have been long gone and a player that is not to be trusted. A guy that has no future here whatsoever. Do you honestly trust the guy? If so fine.
They probably won’t at the expense of a leaving Mata or bang average Lingard.
It would at least give me satisfaction of watching a young kid give his best instead of this shit.
Of course he brought on Greenwood. Who else is he going to bring on? There was no other bastard on the bench who could provide goals.
We won a match we should have lost, and conceded a goal because of Rojo. The one situation we were dreading before the match and discussing. That was the point. He was shit as expected and only cost us while wasting space and time.
I’m unsatisfied by the manager’s decision and they are more and more frequentl. Rojo did not justify his inclusion as expected and that’s on the guy who made the decision. We won the game, barely. But with this kind of decision I hope you enjoy lingering at 6th place for a while.
It was on him as well as De Gea. He lost his man couple of times and was horrible through out the game. You will never know how a kid will do unless given a chance and he will be 19 in the summer, Lee should get in the squad instead of shit like Rojo. He supposedly outperformed him in the reserves game as another poster pointed out.
Or he would have been out of his depth and we lose.
And Rojo was not out of his depth yesterday?
We still won the game despite a string of appalling decisions by Ole. Nothing that a United fan should be proud of. That team was anything but balanced. Not playing underperforming shit players like Rojo, Mata and Lingard for example might be the best thing to do yeah.
I just don't see the point in playing Rojo if we are planning of getting rid. These guys are mercenaries and don't care about the club, on top of being absolute shit. I feel we have very little to lose by giving a youth player that place and we might get a player in the process. There are so many great examples of kids thrown in the deep and delivering. I also feel we are going in circles so let's agree to disagree.
