i have said this once and need to say this again...we got 75M for Lukaku, for goodness sake however good he is at Inter, we CAN and could sign a good replacement.

Who cares he heavy first touch for us? He gave us 75M to get a replacement....cannot buy another one with feather touch? A certain son of a player Keano broke his leg comes to mind.

Can't be the whole world does not produce another between 75 to 100m.....We got Ighalo instead. Could've landed Josh King of not because he got injured at the right time...man.

Of course now we have Cavani, for a while I am satisfied but we know his body can't last forever, I'm praying it lasts until we get another no.9. I'm convinced you need to have a leader of a no.9, a poacher, a bully, a feather touch Lukaku. We end up with eternally dribbling Martial....aduh...

Good idea also.

Kayuhijau, itu long term strategy (3 to 4 years) I'm ok la....don't forget his heading maybe 5/20 only now. I'm willing to be patient with him, but I'm not willing to be patient with the whole team and the manager and the real kayu. RvP also took some time to develop IIRC. Especially strength and heading it really takes effort and time for skill, ball at feet players. Greenwood needs 1 more step up to become the classic. Right now he is still wonderkid.

Even if we didn't get 75M from Lukaku, there should be no excuse to sit around and wait for Mason to develop la.

Exactly like you say we need a battering ram, a player who will convert half chances, who will bully defenders (remember Rio got bullied by Lukaku playing for WBA), the type who you will bet your son's life to finish. All your examples are prime. We had them, what's the reason we don't have them anymore....no money also not excuse anymore. Haihz..

I want to recommend Sebastiano Esposito and Myron Boadu. They are both hot stuff in Football manager haha. Especially Boadu seems to be able to head, finish with both legs and even when unbalanced. He has scored against Ajax.

see my recommendation on Boadu. He is not bad, performing at high level in Eredivisie. Will be snapped up very soon.

Another one is Jean-Philippe Mateta

France U-21 and already 27 goals in Germany, in 2 seasons so far. Now 23 year old.

like that say, Haaland FOC also problem loh....still. we bought some Ivorian 21 year old not really starting for Atalanta for 30m+

don't look like we played too badly. But Martial....OMG...what the heck is doing on the pitch. You know Paris is always gonna do some theatrics with Di Maria, Neymar, and co...Can't take the bait.

We still can do it, beat Leipzig away. We do better away remember.

The only thing is, UCL is just a 6 to 8 match show case. 2nd round just for the $$s, the quality to compete all the way seems not there yet so I won't say we lost out a lot on this.

Agreed. But, we should not be so damn wasteful in front of goal. This is going to be the difference between cup and attending the games.

I can already recall how many times, Ole has said we need to be more clinical, more clinical, take our chances. If he persists with Martial, its Ole's fault. If I was Greenwood, I'd be waking up 30mins earlier everyday, coming to work earlier than Martial, going home 30mins later than Martial, doing 1.5x running of Martial and practicing my finishing harder than Martial. You get the point.

Rash had a mixed game. Sometimes he did well and sometimes he is running into dead end.

It was smash and grab, and PSG grabbed it. We grabbed the first game vs them, now they did the same to us.

Other than the goal by Neymar, did they actually have open goal chances in the first half? I thought in first half we kept them quiet no? With a 2-1 lead at half time we can be more assured in 2nd half..

actually, I would keep Fred on and just tell him to be careful. If a player is good you keep him on. Its his own damn fault for falling for the 2nd yellow. And he was baited for it...

Besides, we have replays for 3 minutes from all sides and angles. Managers don't have it and can't see things as well as we do sometimes.

I don't think we have another destroyer like Fred. Not ever slow Matic and not even VDB. Now why is VDB not starting, I can see Scott do a marking number on Neymar. It was half effective....so in that regard maybe we set up correctly.

I'm definitely not and OleIn guy, in fact quite the opposite. But I can see that we did not repeat Istanbul or even Tottenham. I'm just very very disappointed with our forwards not taking our chances. If we persist with these guys I'm gonna blame it on Ole.

I'm glad I'm not the only one OleOut right now. I'm not completely convinced, and there are a lot of things I don't think we are at same page.

What a completely poor first half....we were not able to carve a single good chance in first half...no wonder cross master Moyes felt robbed.

Indeed without Bruno we were crap. Perhaps we need to deal with opposing teams a bit better when they push up so high. 343 is a problem for us...they have such as strong high line, and when defending the crowded the back line too.

It was not a pretty sight to see Pogba, VDB doing nothing but hit walls. Then cavani, martial and Mason needing to drop so deep to get the ball that they have no chance to create chances or test their keeper.

Martial really poor. For me this must be his last game for a while.

2nd half is quite a turn around. Pogba is really an enigma with the fine goal but pretty much ineffective otherwise.

when the press high also their having a five man wide line up top...it was a tough game, Moyes setup his team well. Like someone said we were as good as PSG when we lost the 3-1 midweek. It means we weren't too good, and West Ham finishing a bit poor.

I'll take the 3 points, bench Martial and hope Cavani comes alive vs Leipzig. Not too much to show for vs West Ham.

VDB had a below average game, same as Cavani. But if we win while they play poorly I'm ok.

he got Covid since 4 years ago

I will be the first to apologize. Ole deserves some credit for the turnaround SO FAR but I wholly blame him for not getting us running from game 1 (Yes I know we are late to end the season), but we are still some ways off from good football. Don't forget top 5 right now, and that simply means we are worst than where we ended last season.

If nothing else happens, we must demand improvements in either the football being played (Not yet perceivable), or results (the table does not lie).

I humbly dont think MC is above or below us will in any way vindicate or justify our performance.

Hopefully Lord Raiola bring us a big fee, just scared a world record agent fee for his fat ass and nothing for us.

we have a taufu of a back 4 which is protected by a slow as snails Matic. There is a GUARANTEE of us conceding first. I mean which team in the world is not gonna lick the lips if you tell them that. My local team from the playground will beat MU. Back to Tottenham level in a flash.....

The more I watch the more I want to get on a plane and shoot a few millionaires.

I'm glad this is over with, UCL is for men. We are out of class. And please for gdodness sake not go to Europa league and say we gonna win it. I;m not sure who is in it, but even if Mickey mouse join they will defeat us in the final. It will give Ole a super excuse to start next season late again.

I think this match just proves that we are 1 step forward 2 steps back. #OleIn guys I'd really like your input. Even if we beat MC, I will not be convinced. Ole just says everyone has to prove they belong in the team. Well everyone has just proved otherwise, and he himself has proven otherwise.

we need 2 CB + 1 RB + 1 GK(ok, maybe Henderson can try).

On top of that we need a new team of coaches for the defense, but we are doing that maybe we need a new team of coaches for the offence as well, and we can just let Ole sit on the chair with a TV.

we are going to get our asses handed to us on a plate by Pep. And then Ole will say quote something from Sir Alex about bouncebackability.

Ain't no tactic gonna do you any good if your entire back line play like playground. And your keeper like a noob.

It was never about challenging for ucl. To me, challenging for ucl means staying on the pitch with barca, Liverpool, Real Madrid, juventus, bayern. Right now we are there to mop the floor and lay the carpet for them.

Its more about being dignified every time we turn up. Being not laughed at. Istanbul laughed at us for goodness sake.

I don't see any semblance of a team that works hard, defend seriously and run our ass off. At least not consistent enough. How many games did we lose because of this? More than I can count and we are not even halfway.

How many of our wins was due to above? Maybe half our wins was due to this, and the other half due Bruno and VAR....so, if you come up against MUFC right now, it is about the same as 2 years ago, which is about the same as 4 years ago, which is only just better than 6 years ago. If you extend this mathematical series you can grow old and die before we anything.

Moyes is much more disastrous...we became useless duds when we had RvP, Rooney.....that was as disastrous as things get.

Anyway, enough of this crap. We need to improve period.
We have not improved period. (how many games does it take to swing from Tottenham to Leipzig? Yes, this game is just as bad.)
We don't look like we are improving.
Solution is change.

Only a mad person tries the same thing with hope of different results.

Bro,
I'll have him (the happy version) back in a flash. He is doing damn well for them in the Serie A man....

We now have archer Cavani, hot and cold.
