Mans tryna engage in banter over an assistant coach quitting

It really has been a tough season for United

Buvac gonna come back a destroy pool with what ever team he ends up working with.

no matter how uneven you say the teams were it's still an almost impossible task to go undefeated this far. we didn't just go 39 games unbeaten because of other teams. you still have to do it and no one else has done what we've done before.

again, you fail to give the squad any credit like a spoiled cule. a double and an undefeated season deserves credit no matter what even though our play isn't as good as previous years. at the top level to do what this team has done is a tremendous accomplishment. 20 teams in la liga didn't just bend over for us.

From January on, Messi carried this team. He isn’t getting enough credit for that. Look at the score sheet for every game from January on & you’ll see it’s the wins & ties are all due to Messi. The team has no balance outside of him & that’s what I’m faulting.

There has been only 2-3 games since the new year where the team looked dominant. For all the other games, the opposition did a great job of dictating the tempo & it rested on Messi to pull out the tie or win.

I meant to say the unbalanced play effected the league standings all campaign bcs teams played unevely & didn’t challenge for the #1 spot like they should have. Los Blancos should’ve been a greater threat for the league #1 spot but they came crashing down after their unprecedented 4-5 year run.

Blade collar + umbro sleeves are awesome on that everton kit... but angry birds probably the worst sponsorship in the league and this coming from someone who is forced to wear a Chevy logo on his shirts

 

[vtotheinay]

isco just ruled out for tomorrow's match

Man City gunna be rocking tinder on their sleeves

Both are goofy as hell

Depending on how fit Alaba is, he and Ribery could be a big problem for Vazquez as a makeshift RB converted from a winger.

I’m expecting Zizou to start Kovacic to help him out there instead of Bale

Just thought it was interesting that y’all lost y’all “brain” at this point of the season. No banter intended.



Far from a tough season for us though

MD is reporting that Barca will consider loaning out Dembele if racist lil bags comes over. I swear the club's hierarchy doesn't know what it's doing.

The Nigerian should've told Trumpito f*ck you and your bid. FIFA should DQ us from the bid since he asked for support on Live TV

would def be cool with taking the swap of ousmane + cash on a permanent for griezmann. let's make it happen

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Isco & Carvajal officially out

Damn Gnabry tore his groin, he was having a nice season when played

 

[Beans]

that might be the dumbest thing ever is BARCA actually do it

 

[Trey Bantz]

Am I missing something here? Griezmann to Barça seems inevitable at this point. What's wrong with loaning out Dembele so he gets valuable PT?

Is it just that you guys don't like Griez?

 

[haicheo]

Nacho called up for tomorrow’s match.

Im iffy on starting him at RB with 0 play time...but Lucas may be needed up the pitch

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Nacho should come off the bench, start Vazquez at RB, then you can bring on Nacho and move Vazquez around.

 

[rck3sactown]

‘Arry

 

[flyeed]

Thought we might go Bale+Vazquez on the right flank, but Zizou giving Bale the full 90 over the weekend and pulling Kovacic early makes me think he did it to save Kovacic’s legs to start tomorrow.

Despite Bale having a solid scoring record in 2018, it seems he’s fallen out of favor with Zidane and been relegated to inconsequential league matches

dembele is good enough to be getting pt here
man has 7 assists in like 13 appearances at 20 years old.
he even showed out in the champions league (until vlaverde neutered him and didn't play him at all against roma which made no sense)
all of this while trying to break in to an undefeated side after a serious injury.
dembele's talent is unquestioned. he didn't even get to have a preseason.

my thing is suarez's time should be limited by griez not dembele's minutes. as good as suarez is, he's getting old and has been very on and off this year.
and very off during the champions league.
also, messi seems to get burned out by the end of the season (for good reason. he carries this team).
i would like to see him rotated and rested more like zidane has done so wonderfully with ronaldo.

i really hope these are just rumors though.

ALL OF THIS... plus didn't ya pay 100+ mil for him. If he's not ready or you value playing griez over him why drop the bag in the first place? What if one of those forwards get injured. With Coutinho falling back into that Iniesta role, you shouldn't have any issues rotating griez, teeth, Goat and dembele.
