Problem I see is most of our buys over past 10 years have been very poor and not even a upgrade on what we had or have

No one can even say the last one Varane as been that good so far, hopefully he gets better! But me not sure about that, he needs a Ramos beside him.

Sancho terrible buy that we did not need by any means

That's just the last two, could go on, apart from Bruno, that's about it.

Please don’t go on, you’ve gone on quite enough already. Varane is proven at the highest level and Sancho is one of the most exciting prospects in Europe. Have the hit the heights yet? No. But they’ve been here 5 minutes in a chaotic environment. You need to chill mate.


2.) 21 Jan 2022 19:42:52
Premier league first year for any player is definitely very hard to adapt to.
Especially when managers change, the club is in a mess, there's no captain or players to look upto.

Varane looks calm whenever he plays and is a class above all the CBs we have got. And he's got a left foot as well which none of other CBs have. Varane makes passes from his left foot which means we he has more angles to pass whereas Maguire can only pass from his right.

And with Sancho, he played RW i think a couple of times and he was starting to look good under Carrick and then he got shifted to LW and he's been bad. He's being played out of position. And he's one of our players who instead of being a selfish brat atleast tries to put in a cross or pass that finds the strikers. I don't think Sancho is a terrible buy at all, he came with an English premium but he's a very good little player when used correctly.


3.) 21 Jan 2022 19:53:43
We’ve also no idea how long Sancho has had to deal with the family issues that have come to light. He was apparently very close with his auntie and he could have been dealing with that for a while. You never know what’s happening off the pitch.


4.) 21 Jan 2022 22:57:44
Sancho has been here 5 minutes. Needs to be on the right and build a rapport with the right back until they know each others games - never mind integrate with the other team mates.


5.) 22 Jan 2022 08:01:07
Varane in the last few games has been outstanding.
Sancho will come good.


6.) 22 Jan 2022 08:38:50
Trouble is the back four has been unsettled all season with injuries and out of form players. Once they start playing consistently together then the improvement will come.
I seem to remember when we got Evra and Vidic they were awful for the first six months and people were righting then off, sometimes patience wins through.


7.) 22 Jan 2022 09:43:53
To be fair Varane has done ok, but not spectacular.

Maze will put his hand up and say expected a little more from Varane- purely based on reputation and the fan fare on here and elsewhere.

When you compare the impact with say Ben White for example, it has been a little disappointing. However early days and Maze will cut him some slack for now.


8.) 22 Jan 2022 10:26:29
Maze, I think the difference between the impact Ben White has had and Varane probably isn't a fair comparison. Simply because the improvement in Arsenal's defence can't purely be put down to White, they also signed Tomiyasu and Ramsdale who have both massively improved Arsenal's back line. While an argument that Lokonga has helped shield the defence better could also be made.

At Arsenal 3 of the back 5 (keeper included) have changed, while Varane has still had to play with wildly out of form Maguire and AWB.

Imagine if we signed Rice and Trippier or any other CDM and RB that improved our side. Defensively we'd look much better.

Plus Varane has suffered a little with injuries playing in 14 of our 29 games so far and has had 4 different CB partners (Maguire, Lindelof, Bailly and Jones in those games, playing in both a back four or back three systems.

I don't think he has played 3 games in a row with the same players in defence and they same system.

Yet he has still looked by far our best defender.


9.) 22 Jan 2022 12:35:31
Plus Varane is essentially playing (or had been playing) with two - for a lack of better word - defensive leaning midfielders.


10.) 22 Jan 2022 13:02:43
No other post Ed?

{Ed002's Note - ?}


11.) 22 Jan 2022 13:11:11
I assumed the reference to Ben White was a joke. A centreback who can’t jump, who other sides were changing their tactics around. Well that transfer surprised me anyway.
At least we aren’t Watford. I think last night’s defensive display was the worst I’ve seen for a long time, talk about giving every goal away.


12.) 22 Jan 2022 13:32:33
Spenno glad to see you conversing and taking some time away from the Xbox - very good.

So just to be clear it is your assertion that Ben White is ‘a joke’ and ‘a centre back that can’t jump’? Wow-wee the visibility on those glasses must be very limited.


13.) 22 Jan 2022 14:57:52
Maze, I am not sure if you are 10 or 60 years old. You speak well, but with an almost loveable childish tilt to everything. You're just the latest in a very long line of forum prats and you'll be replaced by many more I'm sure.


14.) 22 Jan 2022 18:14:12
Ben White haha got to be an Arsenal fan with that nonsense. Varane has been really good, we look much better when he plays, hopefully he can stay fit.


15.) 22 Jan 2022 19:08:05
Varane not been really good he been OK that’s about it, me hoping it’s because rubbish he plays with in the other 3, but may get better

I think the posters who say Sancho should be on Right according to Ralf this week he ask him directly what he prefers to play and Sancho himself said Left side, so your assuming again, unless Ralf and Sancho lying again! Maybe…

Van Dyke took 5 mins to settle in…. Maybe pace and physicality’s of prem is too much for Varane, he made some school child’s errors, not sure where anyone say outstanding, who was that against what level of team?


16.) 22 Jan 2022 19:22:38
Sorry AJH, did not realise I need your permission to post…. I thought this place was to post opinion…… or you one of the ones who don’t let no one else say nothing if you don’t agree!

Just don’t read other people post if you only want to listen to you….


17.) 22 Jan 2022 19:37:09
It is odd that maze and Romanian maverick seem to be on the same post each time, there is history of this happening.

{Ed014's Note - the other day one of them was in Romania and the other in Australia although today he’s in a different City in Romania.

All a little strange but hey each to there own.


18.) 22 Jan 2022 19:53:50
Ed I’m in different city in Romania because I been to watch game, not really sure why this got to do with any. I know me never been to Australia but can go if you paying

We maybe on the same post because not much else posted or maybe nothing interested, perhaps you could post something of interest not keep thinking up about me and Maze but each to there own. I’m learning ED all these English saying.

{Ed014's Note - which City did you go to watch the game?


19.) 22 Jan 2022 20:21:54
Ed I’m not sure it good idea to post what city I in or even make difference and certainly not going to name it on here, but for your info which I would prefer you did not post city name on here, but I watched game in exact place it shows you, and if I’m still on here in couple of hours I be back home, not that I should have to explain my whereabouts or is that in rules on here?

{Ed014's Note - I asked a simple question, no one’s coming to Romania to find you ?‍♂️?


20.) 22 Jan 2022 20:37:40
What city you in ED?

If all poster have to post there location it should be writ down so we can see then it’s no problem if we decide to stay or go.

So simple question is that in terms that we joined we have to put our location?

{Ed014's Note - ??? just as I thought


21.) 22 Jan 2022 20:45:27
Ed you did not answer neither question?


22.) 23 Jan 2022 01:57:59
The English suddenly seems better, very odd ?.


 

 

21 Jan 2022 18:23:06
What I don't understand with most on here, is this
Mr Jose said virtually the same about problems the same players that Ralf now said yet you all think Ralf is beautiful and Jose a dinosaur that bit strange, novelty will soon wear of, he had many jobs, yet still no big club come in for him, in many years, ask yourself why that is! And also so many jobs!

Romanian maverick

1.) 21 Jan 2022 18:50:27
Please stop, I think you are just fishing for arguments. Plenty on here still love Jose and plenty are not yet convinced about Ralf. If you had read the site for a while you would know this. So stop, please.


2.) 21 Jan 2022 21:05:39
Yes Romanian. Rangnick was director of football for Red Bull, it's a little known company which pays their directors of football in out of date cans of red bull and little packets of Maggi noodles (curry flavour) to live off during their period as employees. Paul Mitchell loves the noodles especially.


3.) 22 Jan 2022 13:26:36
Why are you guys engaging an obvious troll.


4.) 22 Jan 2022 19:56:14
Oh yeah Director of Football for Red bull remind me names of them teams and the league they were in and there star players if you would, the answer should convince.


 

 

20 Jan 2022 19:50:05
Gerrard go to Villa, style changes good football, win games
Tuchel goes to Chelsea win games and champs league
Conte goes to Spurs, rubbish players worse then ours but they win
Ralf, comes to united, we score less goals win less games, bore the life out of fans, upset 90% players, wipe value of players saying they no good, but he doing a good job.! Wow.

Romanian maverick

1.) 20 Jan 2022 20:08:25
I should have added I don’t really dislike him, but he out of depth in this job
He talk honest in press, but is that just stupidity and lack of experience at this level, reason why no other manager/ coach does it in elite sports level

I be shocked if come new season he anywhere near united at any level! He will be gone with big fat wallet!


2.) 20 Jan 2022 20:10:09
Chelsea had a brilliant squad in place (think Lampard bought in at least half a dozen starters) .
Same with Villa, on a lesser scale.
Spurs had a great first XI.
I think all the respective new managers have done in each case is restore the belief and morale that was gone, then the quality wins through.

Yet it hasn't been that way for Ralph thus far. He seems a very positive leader and good talker. I think the two factors going against Utd are that the midfield needs a complete reboot, and this formation isn't helping which is being torn apart by pundits and opposition managers were happily dissecting it in their post-match interviews after beating us.

But I hold out a little hope that the tide is turning. Things get a bit out of control here, we won last night and not much has been said other than that Dave the Save kept us in it or we were lucky. We drew the other day and you'd think we were in a C.V. Oh.


3.) 20 Jan 2022 20:17:56
I can’t agree that Villa or Spurs had better squad then ours or anywhere near it I am sorry, maybe Chelsea, but look at result turnaround with them.

I don’t see what you see with tide turn either, I think it worse now then ever in my opinion, our captain and 80m player hears he not good enough (we knew that) but you don’t say it as manager, same with full backs, he creating a big load of problems in my view that will end in tears come May.


4.) 20 Jan 2022 20:33:12
Maverick, you must have missed the football we played under Ole.

Rangnick has been there 5 minutes. We are 5th, 2 points off 4th.

Second half v Brentford, we started to see a little bit of what he is trying to do.


5.) 20 Jan 2022 20:41:26
What's gerrards record at villa?


6.) 20 Jan 2022 21:02:33
Ken, 10 games 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses.

Although to be fair the defeats have come against City, Liverpool, Chelsea, United in the FA cup and Brentford.

With wins against Brighton, Palace, Norwich and Leicester.

On the balance of things I'd say so far Gerrard has been fairly average. He's beaten the teams Villa should be beating and lost to teams better than them.

His two best results are beating an out of sorts Leicester who had quite a few injuries at the time and a draw against us where we desperately tried to give them all three points.

He looks like a promising young manager, but he hasn't ripped up any trees at Villa yet. Maybe that will change if Coutinho and Digne do well. Also rumours of Suarez coming in on a short term deal.

Ultimately it's far too early to judge Gerrard at Villa only ten games in, much like it's far to early to judge Ralf Rangnick after his first 10 games (6 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss) .


7.) 20 Jan 2022 21:34:56
My only issue with RR so far is that when he arrived he spoke of studying UTDs games on video this season. He also said in 2019 we were very unbalanced with the wrong personnel throughout the squad.

Obviously we don't know what's happening at board level but why we weren't spending 15 mill on 1st January on a DM is a shock to me-Its a massive problem for us -we all know this. Kessie/ Zakaria/ Kamara all in that price range due to running down contracts. The difference in 4th or 5th place finish financially is huge - yes a new manager is coming in but any of those 3 players I don't beleive will be a problem for a new manager and once they sign on the dotted line thier re sale value goes up.

I honestly thought RR would have pushed that through he has seen in every game since he arrived how teams just walk through our midfield .2 weeks left so who knows.


8.) 20 Jan 2022 23:47:04
Still 10 days to go.


9.) 21 Jan 2022 00:08:57
Ralfs era is like a preseason for us i think. We didn't choose him for instant success.


10.) 21 Jan 2022 00:30:35
Score less goals and win less games than when? 1999? We won yesterday and scored 5 in the last 2 games, we’ve lost one match since Ralf took over although listening to the press about the crisis we are in you'd think we haven’t won a match in 3 months.

It was never going to happen overnight but there are a few shoots of light, some players who looked totally lost are looking better, he’s brought in Elanga who Ole ridiculously ignored after he was the best player in pre season. He’s doing good things, it’s not been amazing but give him some time. By the way, if we win our games in hand we would be 3 points behind Chelsea and we’ve been terrible, maybe Tuchel not doing quite the job you think he is.


11.) 21 Jan 2022 02:31:27
Agree with your point on the press GDS. Everyone seems to be a man utd critic these days - especially ex arsenal and Liverpool players.

Only response is results, just pick up points and grow confidence. Long way to go in the season, good news is we can play a lot better. I would like to see another holding mid, matic cannot do it alone. Fred and McTom are actually okay, but better with a dcm.


12.) 21 Jan 2022 04:13:28
I think the op is a troll.
Gerrard has lost 5 times the matches than Ralf has.
Tuchel is starting to struggle at Chelsea.

Ole was the one who caused problems in the dressing room. False Promising players on game time, poor coaching, terrible set-piece coach appointment and blocking youth.


13.) 21 Jan 2022 10:27:05
Lad's, why encourage an obvious troll by engaging in debate with them?

{Ed014's Note - for me if your English isn’t great as you are from another country who do you manage to write in somewhat broken English but then say “in my view that will end in tears come May” a typically English saying and big give away for me.

But hey, each to their own!


14.) 21 Jan 2022 10:36:48
Mr Tansylvania, what is the prattle above? Gerard is a flog.


15.) 21 Jan 2022 10:39:51
I reckon we have decent players or some but not a decent team as they don't gel or compliment each other; that is the coaches job but can only work with what he has. RR, its early days and if what we are told occurs, that he will move upstairs in the summer, then the next coach. I have previously slated players but mainly for the lack of effort and failure to work to achieve their capabilities but we have got to rid the club of a bunch of them and and only bring in those that will compliment the remainder.
Not just my opinion but the majority of pundits/ experts have always stated we have a top class squad over the past 4/ 5 seasons and surely they can't all be wrong.?


16.) 21 Jan 2022 11:31:21
? Maze is now arguing with his split personalities.


17.) 21 Jan 2022 11:49:50

Hes probably forgot to log out of one of his accounts ?.


20.) 21 Jan 2022 16:36:34
You could not have hand picked our list of fixtures better since Ralf come if you tried.
Villa have had more much much difficult games.

Ed014…We use same expression …end in tears… it’s not just England you know! You find many sayings same world over, U. K. don’t own all sayings.

{Ed014's Note - of course, how silly of me!

100% KEN. Correct……. Ten Haag also might have seen straight through him and said I want him nowhere near me or the club if I take the job, so for me that’s the first great thing that’s happened.
