    whats's this lad's problem with the board now?

    gave them maguire when they wanted him.
    gave them sancho
    gave them varane
    gave them ronaldo
    gave them solksjaer when they demanded he stay and promote youth.

    533million net spend over 5 years, highest in england including city and cheslea. highest wages paid.

    maybe they have not painted the steel in gold?

    United have got Tottenham away, Tottenham lost their last game to West Ham, I don't think they want to lose this one. Back to OT it is their noisy
    neighbour., not a bed of roses for Ole

    I actually like the fact that this supporters anger is directed at the very source of MU's demise over the last decade or so.
    The defeat on Sunday has pushed many over the edge, this guy understands the big picture.

    Just glad we are in a very different place right now :emoticon-0165-muscl

    Tottenham are an awful match up for them when they are on their game. Son always exploits AWB's poor positional awareness and Kane does the same to Maguire (as we saw in the 6-1 at OT last season).

    If Tottenham show up, they'll have too much for United.

    Leicester's lack of ambition will always come to the rescue.

    If Ole gets his tactics right then Utd should beat Spurs (I don't think much of Nuno and his tactics) - but not if they play the same tactics as vs Leicester and us.

    I fully agree with him that big business has stolen the game from the people - I've been saying as much for years. He does seem a little excitable though.

    Hendo, Keita and Bobby all put on arguably their best performances in a very a long time, which was very pleasing to see.

    Special shoutout to Bobby though - I thought his workmate was excellent, picked up dangerous positions and his link up play was fantastic. I've said this for a long time but I really don't care about his goals/assists as long as his link up and creativity is still there. He has started this season pretty well.

    You almost need to ignore that he plays up front and picture him more as a number 10 playmaker.

    Team sheet normally has him upfront with mane Salah either side but in reality it’s more mane and Salah as outside forwards and firmino just behind them. He needs to chip in with goals but you don’t need 3 players scoring 20 goals a season. If you’ve got Salah and mane scoring 30 & 15 goals then Firm chipping in with 5-10 is more than enough in theory.

    for me firmino is more about big games and getting more possession and hurting those types of sides in midfield.

    I would like to see firminos win ration when playing against top sides.

    I mean bobby in the prem is on played 7 scored 4 this season and 2 form 2 in CL. not too bad.

    in 19/20 we only say 9 league goals form firmino. won the thing.
    in 18/19 we only say 12. 2nd on 97 points or whatever.

    in 20/21 he also scored 9 but we ended up way off the pace :)

    bobby is what he is, when the team is pushed up the whole thing ticks better.

    Bobby and Keita were superb against Man Utd, they were the reason we won so comfortably imo. Both pressed the living **** out their already ****ting it defenders!

    Ole has been granted 'stay of execution' he is going to be in charge of Tottenham game. I understand Sir Ferguson has gone against him.
