GWT: EPL - Matchweek 22

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Aina with a spectacular clearance to keep the lead

 

[Savant]

It's a mystery considering he apparently wasn't known for these at Inter.

He was very much known for being ass

Inter’s defensive set up massively helped him out.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Mikey Moore with a brilliant assist to Richarlison. One thing to be happy about at least.

 

[KlausJopling]

This Manchester United team is no different than they were two months ago. They’re just playing a different system.

 

[Jussi]

Inter’s defensive set up massively helped him out.

And I've read their system also utilized Onana's ball playing ability really well.

This Manchester United team is no different than they were two months ago. They’re just playing a different system.

Still too many average or below average players.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Anthony Taylor is such a clown. There was about 4 minutes off additional crap in stoppage time and he blows at exactly 12 minutes.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

United really do have a habit of not showing up for home games after a club legend has passed away. Been going on since SAF days. Hardly ever win on Munich memorial days either.


I don't recall anyone mentioning something like that when United bought him.

Mmmmm Spicy

Stupid smart phone.

Actual news Azp isn’t coming to barca. Signing a 2 year contract. Looks like barca are willing to go with plug ins for RB until the summer. I think it’s an ok move.

Still after a left back

Why is there 2 threads lol anyway Onana sucks guys.

Re: Barça rumors, here is what Balague said yesterday:

• Everyone is on the table except Messi, Ter Stegen and Suarez.
• Spurs don't want Arthur. Inter are interested in him as part of a deal with Lautaro Martinez. However while there is an agreement between Barça and Martinez, there is no agreement with Inter. Inter asked about Arthur. The club don't want him to leave, Quique doesn't want him to leave and the player of course has said he doesn't want to leave. Again though, everyone is on the table because of the complexities in the market.

My thoughts:

• Ter Stegen...

• Duchene2MacKinnon

Im sure there were others. He's trash always has been, united got duped into shelling out big money for him.

 

[Savant]

And I've read their system also utilized Onana's ball playing ability really well.

Yeah I mean Onana does all the flashy stuff well. He isn’t great at the basic stuff. And yeah if they are patient with Amorim (and him) they might get there eventually; but it’s not shocking Onana is all over the place without being able to hide behind catennacio. Every game with Onana it’s like they flip a coin pregame to see which version you get

Still too many average or below average players.

Patience is the only thing that gets United back into contending for major titles at this stage

 

[Savant]

Spuds.

 

[AlanHUK]

I can't stand Anthony Taylor, if anyone else was as incompetent within their job as he is they'd have been fired multiple times over.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

A lot to unpack from that game.

Very possible that Ange doesn't survive this. Feels like players have turned on him.

Might be both Son's and the club's best interest to part ways in the summer.

Maddison is pathetic. I don't think he should be part of any leadership group.

Dragusin not good enough.

Hey, at least Mikey Moore looked great once he came on.

The thing is that early season he was actually playing well. Was tied for most clean sheets at one point. And just on Thursday made crucial saves in the first half. But then out of nowhere comes stuff like today. And Bayindir's only benefit is that he's taller. He's just as much a questionmark on crosses and corners.

Right. It’s a coin flip. He’s like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates/ you never know what you’re gonna get

The young players have all looked pretty good. I don’t really like the idea of sacking Ange because it’s becoming a revolving door, but sending these kids out to fail week after week is not good for their development.

I'm not sure what you think there was to support your claim...

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

You just can’t read. “Onana sucks guys”

“ it would be a horrendous move sporting wise”

They won't. They'll spend the next 3-4 windows buying players for Anorim's system then sack him and leave a new manager with a completely different set-up with a bunch of players ill-suited for him. And so on...

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

How do you let Fidel take a touch that close in.

He’s been on fire after a slow start

They won't. They'll spend the next 3-4 windows buying players for Anorim's system then sack him and leave a new manager with a completely different set-up with a bunch of players ill-suited for him. And so on...

You’d think the cycle would come to an end?

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Maybe when Ange was talking about winning stuff the second season it was about the other club he'd be managing this year?

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Another Foden goal. It will be interesting to see how city pisses this away

 

[Jussi]

First off, your comments were from 2020. United bought him in 2023... 2nd, all les Habs said was:

• Ter Stegen is negotiating a new deal so you get these sorts of rumors. That said in a non-COVID-19 market getting big money for him and getting Onana cheaper isn't bad business. Of course I wouldn't do it.

Onana wouldn't be bad business, also in 2020 by the way, but prefers Ter Stegen staying.

Yes onana was ass from the start.

And read my reply to him.

What makes you think the new sporting leadership would do that?

Yes onana was ass from the start.

And read my reply to him.

All you said was:

As for MAtS for Onana it maybe a good financial move but it would be a horrendous footballing decision and ultimately that's what should matter most.

And my point was that no one was saying Onana sucks WHEN United bought him in 2023.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Yes people were saying he sucked even before that.

 

[Jussi]

Yes people were saying he sucked even before that.

Yet they were quite in 2023...
