Watched utd today Liverpool midfield just by passed utds at ease the shape was all over the place Bruno moaning at team mates and blaming them when his pass was intercepted he's no way a captain especially for a club like man u casimerio looks shot like rashford needs dropping even the fans are turning on rashford now he looks disinterested and half hearted 

Didn't catch it. Although I was in Salford visiting a relative in hospital. I saw a calvalcade of Liverpool supporters with their flags flying out of their car windows looking very pleased with themselves so I knew it wasn't good . The pundits on the radio going home were discussing Ten Haag's sacking. Doesn't look good for him or supporters.

Who do you get though if you sack Eth as he said only city have won more than him but the way Liverpool just by passed utd today will concern him but rashford isn't the player he was amad proved a decent sub but ten haig or whoever isn't going to change that team over night to much dead wood and lack of leaders on the pitch

David Moyes is available be good choice comes highly recommended from Wilf plus he more experienced now having managed that Massive club West Ham United

If that was David Moyes Gareth Southgate or Graham Potter that was in charge of united last 3 seasons with ten hags record would they still be in a job 

[Blackmag 6,035]

I take nothing away from Liverpool performance there midfield totally ran utds all over casimerio is a shadow of the player he was that first mistake for there first goal totally threw him  rashford looked scared to take the fullback on Bruno walking round blaming players for is poor passes or choices and there looked like no organisation at the back or midfield and I don't think I have heard utd fans boo any subs before

Haaland may possibly score more (eventually) but will never be the same class as prime Shearer. 

Cheers, D.

Big ange is the type of manager united need!  takes no nonsense and if you don't work hard on the park he will get rid doesn't matter how good you are and they would get too see exciting football again

I think that’s a very fair shout actually……I don’t think Ten Haag will last much longer, just watched that game on MOTD and Utd were an absolute shambles.

I don’t think he will be judged too harshly even if he does get the sack because I think everyone knows he took over a dressing room with a load of absolute bluffers strapping on boots……but he has had two seasons is it ? to turn this around and weed out the dross and frankly, he hasn’t.

There are too many players in that team nicking a living, I like the young lads like Garnacho and Mainoo and Hoijland, I even think the keeper is decent……but the rest are clowns.

I think Ten Haag has been given the benefit of the doubt a lot, even when he is doing bizarre stuff like making that Fernandez captain……if that blokes a Manchester United captain then I’m a space rocket pilot……crazy ! 
 

How the f**k do you sell an honest player like McTominay on Monday and play Casemiro against that Liverpool side on Sunday ??……who the f**k is making these choices ? Lol 

Liverpool had them 5 & 6 v 2 or 3 so many times on turnovers high up the pitch is was almost funny…..like, it was too easy……..at 55 minutes Manchester United didn’t know wether to have a shit or a haircut ! Lol 

Not such shenanigans at my little Hammers, we are playing a bit of football and all is right with the world ! Lol

Just when you thought it wasn’t possible for Utd to have another team spend so long in their half, in steps Moyes and says “hold my beer” lol

Fernandes is a joke, he has never been a captain. Infuriates me watching him. Clearly a decent player and can pass a ball but never be a leader while I have a hole in my arse. To busy sulking, pointing the finger and looking round for someone to blame then wonder why others don't pull their weight. He is a cheat aswell. Tries to leave it in on ppl but then throws himself about any chance he gets.

Embarrassing

Talented footballer but I can't stand the cnut and should never don a captains armband.

I don't watch or follow football way I used to il show up every n8w and again me brothers and most me mates all united so they deserve a slagging  but any time I watch ten hag he just comes across as prick so far up his own arse. One thing il say about united is they have backed every manager went into that job financially but how they never made an attempt to get someone like Ancelloti in after ferguson left

I'm not educated on politics, never had much interest, but have no problem with Sir John. He generated work and development in the region. Saved NUFC from oblivion as a hobby. End of politics from me. 5- 2 Sunday. Isak 1st hat trick, Gordon 1,  William Osula 1 for his 1st goal in EPL to take the roof off! 

Not a bad prediction even if I do say so myself. OK, if you were to be pedantic Isak did not get his hat trick but only because he didn't score 3 goals, Gordon did not score but how was I to know that he would be played on the right? What I meant was the left winger would score a goal, in this instance Harvey Barnes. Osula did not score but in my defence he didn't get on the pitch. And Spurs only conceded 1 goal, I was convinced BDB was going to score 2 own goals. 

Looking forward to the England game on Saturday, a chance for Gordon to show the country what a pillock Southgate was in the Euros. 

Onwards and upwards.

We now have lots of hotshot football brains working with Ten Haag. They continue to back him in his Dutch experiment and in the past he was allowed  to spend near  80000000  on Anthony. He's now going out on loan to Turkey.  Some 70 million gone. Sancho fell out with TH and was allowed to leave for less than half of what he was bought for. Another 35 million gone. De Light couldn't get into his former team and neither could Ugarte. Rashford is not performing for TH.

I sound like a Citeh fan. I realise that. Id love to be proven wrong and the team start to click but I'm not confident they will. So inevitably we will be back to the  new manager merry go round.

Fergie was ruthless, spiteful and vengeful. But he wasn't paid to be a nice fella. He has quite a few skeletons in the closet.

He ruled with a rod of iron and he often said his success was based on discipline. Some would say that you can't manage like that these days but I think  it's a vital part of a manager's skill set or personality.

Players have got to have respect and a little fear or wariness of their manager. Most ex Man U players admit they were scared of Fergie and it made them better players. But, as we all know, he protected the players from public criticism. Everything stayed in the dressing room.
