Portugal will not win the tournament with Ronaldo in the team or that clown as coach. And, in general, they're just not a World Cup winning nation. They fluked the Euros in 2016 but other than that they just don't give the energy of a country that can win the world title. The winner will be...

Also, Fernandes was exactly the same re composure at Sporting, and scouts were actively turned away by his style of play. United scouts themselves even noted it but were overlooked. So the idea that he's some sort of deep down a great controlling footballer made to look bad or impulsive because...

A smart club (which they are not) would have punted both of them a long time ago, and built around better possession footballers, and in general tried to turn around the ethos of the club into less of a moments and counter-attacking one. Instead those idiots continue to look down on Pep's 'tiki...

They didn't consciously demand it, it is a quirk of their style of play. And Fernandes was still there in that train wreck. It's a combination of Man United as a club being a moments club who can't dominate games in midfield, and hence because of that predisposition they indulge lads like...

Exactly. That's another thing clueless people say about him 'he works so hard' - he runs about like an idiot leaving gaps all over the place. Work smarter, not harder. But of course serghei knows best, watching United 5 times a season :lol:

Saying I am wrong doesn't mean I am. You just don't watch them play, it's apparently obvious. It's not to their disadvantage at all, you clearly haven't got a clue about them. They indulge Fernandes to levels other teams would never which is why everything goes through him and he's allowed to...

Disagree and your comment seems the type from someone who doesn't watch United regularly and goes by media hype. I watch all their games and see the basic mistakes these two make throughout and how they are just moments players who make little real tangible difference in terms of football...

Correct, said all this before. His and Busby's times are outliers in their history. They are reverting to the norm now but think they deserve eternal success cos of the 90s.

Is this a joke? Nobody with an iota puts any stock in pre-season. It's about building fitness, nothing more. Loads of teams look great in pre-season and then start the season awfully (including this guy's parent club). This is something any experienced football watcher should know.

I could write a trademark long, elaborate and intricate post expanding on why, but not in the mood. It really boils down to getting older (I am 43), players being young enough to be my kids rather than old enough to be my dad. Learning more about the world and the unfairness financially. And...

I have said it many times - that's a tactical quirk. He scores against good teams (and is invisible outside of the moments) because they defend high and let him use his speed in behind, which is one of his few weapons. So many of his goals against Arsenal, Man City etc come from running in...

Not hatred - they're obviously far better players than Garnacho and Hojlund, and flop is a bit of an exaggeration but it wouldn't be the first time they signed good on paper players who didn't get them as high as they hoped. They have a track record of it happening and given how often it happens...

They are good players but yeah - they give the impression of just being steady at best rather than helping a team really transform.

Big assumption. Huge If. See what I said in another thread before - often football fans assume things when new players sign, then they find out those new toys aren't as good as they thought they were. They could do well, but strong chance all three flop too. Plus they still have the massive...

Would be amazing if the shiny new toy fails and looks as bad as Hojlund. Mbeumo and Cunha too. I wouldn't rule it out either. I am not just saying this as he's joined them (cos I praised Cunha and Mbeumo) but Sesko has always given Bundesliga flat track bully aura. These cunts are doing...

He's a footballing genius of which we might have only seen the likes once before (Diego).

Oo-er.

Anyone wanna play the predictor league for this on Superbru (and other leagues including La Liga)? Seeing as I finished 44th out of 75,000 in the world last year, if I might remind others and humblebrag. There's still a week until these start. I will set up the league if anyone is interested...

Meant to say, been following the qualifiers. Watched some Rangers games. They had a bad game in the league, and were very fortunate to get through against Pana. But against Plzen midweek they were great. It would be a massive collapse if they lost by three goals or more in Czechia. Here's the...
