Roy Keane

disagree. It definitely looked like United was far happier with the point than Liverpool.
What exactly are you disagreeing with? He didn't say Liverpool and United were equally happy with the point. He mere pointed out Liverpool didn't deserve to win based on their performance and a draw was a fair result. You think that's not right?
 
I watched the scum v Palace they were very fortunate to win that, game changed after Red card. Against Utd they rested players in Europa league, and lost.

Salah was ordinary, So were most of the scumbags , the onus was on them at Home they had there biggest crowd in like 100yrs and Utd kept them quiet.

This is why you get the VVD comments etc , frustrating it was for them because it's like City with those T shirts they had made we won against Utd , and we get a 2-3 win.. they thought it was going to be a easy roll over and wasn't and this is were the arrogance comes from... and Keane to say yeah won 1 title in 30yrs sums that up..
 
There are two ways to win a game.
1. Score more goals than the opposition.
2. Make sure the opposition scores fewer goals than you do.
When neither strategy works you get a draw.
Loved our commitment - deserved our draw if not maybe a little more - with luck!

Thanks Michael.
 




Felt he was spot on about a lot of things last night (as usual) to be fair.

Keano, still able to press the right buttons off the pitch as he was on it, my only problem with him now is he tends to start repeating himself and it can spoil the after-burn of his 'biting' one-liners.

You know that if he's one of the pundits and you have been watching a poor game, Roy will spice it up either at the half time or full time review, sometimes both!

"Its the way he tells it" :lol:
 
As an Irish person, I love the man. He speaks so much sense. Straight talker. Really hope he never goes back in to management. Unlikely, at this stage, thankfully. Whatever Sky Sports are paying him, he is worth every penny.

His performances in helping Ireland qualify for 2002 World Cup, were world class. We had Holland and Portugal in our group, Keane bossed the midfield against both.

Probably the greatest number 6 in PL history.

I was at his debut for Celtic which was a disaster, an away cup defeat against a team in league below us, but I was also at his old firm debut at Ibrox in Feb 2006, he was about 40% fit and was still man of the match and we won 1 nil.

As an aside, Wayne Rooney was at the game in amongst the Celtic fans that day.
 
Bruno plays Bruno's game. There is no interest in the collective. He'll continue spraying no look first time 50 yard balls. 1 in 30 will work. Opta on Twitter will say he created 6 chances (he didn't) and the internet will close their eyes, stick their fingers in their ears and keep saying; "See? He's world class. See? He's world class. See? He's world class." etc.
 
I think it shows why he has no future in management.

Because the assessment is wrong, or because he's too blunt about it? I can't say I disagree too much with his analysis of it. Bruno is mostly effective at creating chances and scoring goals, sometimes has a positive impact on the game, but is also often a detriment to the team with his decisions and attitude.
 
spot on from Keane on this one. The running 30 yards bit hit home for me as I've noticed this for years about Bruno. He runs alongside people all the time, and you think he's putting in a shift, but he never actually makes the tackle or very rarely does. The pressing he often does on his own is a silly one, because if your fellow attackers aren't closing in unison, it's futile. He's a luxury player, and that's not a compliment, when the team plays well, he does , great captains drag their teams into games when they aren't playing well, something he doesn't do. He's got ability, we know that, I just don't what football style suits him, can't a be a possession based team, because he gives it away so often.
 
I think there is some truth to what Keano says but again with these pundits...
pot, kettle, black.

Keane himself was charging around everywhere. Couldn't do the No.6 role towards the end because just sitting and holding his position wasn't in his nature.

The difference is that Bruno isn't physically as good as Keane was, not as quick or strong. So it looks(and likely is) more needless and damaging.
 
Keano spot on as usual.The day we replace Bruno is the day this team turns a corner.Tough because I do like him it's just he's too inconsistent to rely on and that's what we need going forward.World class more often than not,not one out of ten passes finding their target.Sorry Bruno i do rate you but this club needs to build for the futrue without you.
 
He is right. He has a lack of discipline even on the ball. Heroball after heroball.
 
why do you think our midfield is always so wide open to play thru???? b/c too often we are playing 2v3 as Bruno has gone for a walk about

it's not like the City system where they press in a 442 with KdB pressing up to the forward role...they are versed in that

United isn't set up that way but Bruno does it constantly....ffs just watch the matches
 
Agree with what Keane is saying but I do think he is more disciplined when playing for Portugal.

I think part of the problem is the lack of talent we have at the top end of the pitch and an element of Bruno trying to take matters into his own hands and force things to happen.
 
Keano is right, but I 100% blame the managers. Do they even pick him up on it? And is there a consequence?

As has been said on this thread, he's definitely disciplined when playing for Portugal (which is where I disagree with Keano).
 
" Going into battle" that's how he saw it. Gotta love it really.
Loved seeing him in the tunnel pre game . Staring straight ahead thinking of the game . He couldn’t give a feck who was lining up alongside him, his mind was elsewhere . Nowadays you’re more likely to see opposition players hug and kiss each other and share a little joke amongst each other.
 
I love Keano, but I feel he's a little over exposed with all the content of him the past year or two. When the Off the Ball thing first came out with him, and he was first appearing on Sky, I was absolutely glued to every bit of media that came out with him. Kinda feels like he's said all he has to say, told all his stories now.
