most slide tackle ends up taking man out after by following through. not usually given a foul unless its dangerous

red card for the tackle? lmaoooooo

It is hilarious watching AWB’s limbs flailing everywhere while he runs. Ready to put in a slide tackle as soon as he loses it.

I wonder if we even practice defending set pieces. I'm not sure I've ever seen a team this bad at it.

he played a big part in the 7-2 against plop and scored a goal a week later against Leicester to win us the game so got hyped a bit. but his legs are made of concrete. he cant run. he cant dribble. he cant turn. he cant press. he cant pass

he went through an injury so some of it could have been attributed to that but just not good enough. looks finished as a footballer tbh. he looked bad before grealish injury and was a lot of calls to put grealish in middle instead of him

Good thing United rested their entire team before this game or they would've lost 0-10

It’ll be a shame to see the great McFred axis broken up and replaced with superior midfield players.

This sounds exactly like the Ross Barkley I am familiar with. Also has concrete in his brain/is dumb as a rock.

Pretty excited for this Summer. It feels existential for a third of the league.

I'd break it into teams that are trending badly:
Southampton/Palace:
Palace has half their team out of contract and their underlying numbers were relegation worthy.
Joejoe has touched on southamptons issues

Newcastle might belong in this group as well
Brighton:
Very well might lose their best player and coach. Good underlying numbers, but if you lose Potter and Bissouma...

Spurs/Arsenal:
High expectations from fans, Spurs need to get the manager right and Arsenal need to change like half the squad.

I dont even know who Arsenal are after transfer wise, might be rough.

Barkley is a cert to end up with us next season. I can feel it.

Hoopie, the more important question is how much you end up overpaying for Jlingz! I can feel United taking West Ham for a pretty penny here.

he's got a nose for the goal so he'll often shoot or cross where others will just pass it back and forth and that's very valuable but he lacks the physical skills to support the play style

i see him as a poor man's antonio in the sense that he's always attacking

think most teams with poor offense would benefit from having him but there's a clear tradeoff to having him on the field imo

i think he'll make a decent career as a hole plugger on rosters on bottom half teams looking to add some scoring but lacks the talent to make it on the big teams who can afford better

Year left on his contract and we rarely get good money on sales. That being said I can see him going for ~15m which would prob be a decent deal for all parties.

I think £15m would be about right in terms of fairness. But if there are other teams sniffing around I can definitely see the spunk brothers going way over the top.

In reality, they should just use the money on Tammy but they probably won't.

A lot will depend on what he wants. If there is interest from someone better or offering more money he'll go there. It wouldn't surprise me if he went to Spain (Athletico Madrid or similar) where he'll benefit from the favourable tax regime. This will be his last contract. If he's staying in England then he probably won't have loads of options that are better than West Ham (maybe Everton).

We also have Moyes here, who is probably going to have more say than someone like Bilic given that he has done a good job and our budget is going to be limited. I'd love to have Lingard stay but his position is one where we do have a few options and we have some glaring holes in the squad in lots of areas.

Yeh...

"The disease, fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), gradually replaces muscle, tendons, ligaments and other soft tissue with bone. Called "stone man syndrome,""

Legit think he might have this and his mum dropped him on his head a bit much.
