Cristiano can't outrun Father time, matter of time he declines big time. Dun worry about his fans. The biggest talents will falter.
Weak match by Bayern, first time I'm really disappointed since Kovac's arrival. Everyone not named Neuer played horrible tonight. Ajax did real well though, would've deserved a win. Next up AEK Athens twice. Has to be six points.
Another performance by United lacking in anything that appears as a coherent football strategy. Make the move now so that this doesn't become a completely lost season where we're hoping for a Europa League invite.
We are showing huge weakness on defense (especially Boateng) and also a terrible lack of creativity, Sanches has looked like the only one on this team who has the balls to so something himself and create chances through dribbling and runs. Hoping for a huge transfer summer where we sell or retire several of the guys (Boateng, Ribery, Robben, Martinez, Muller etc) and replace them with hungry&fresh talent that isn't shy of being creative or taking on defenders themselves. This team looks like it is completely past its glory and ability to put on fresh performances.
Hummels also seems to have considerably slowed down due to age and injuries, not sure this can work. Wishlist for next 2yrs: Get rid of Hummels+Boateng. Two new central backs (Pavard done deal, plus maybe de Ligt?) Wings: Get rid of Robben and Ribery. Coman and Gnabry are a good foundation, sign at least one world class or up and coming star. Striker: Sell Lewa for a good amount and buy a modern-age striker capable of creating chances himself. Central Midfield is good enough and no need to change imo. We got two solid guys in Thiago+James and then also Goretzka, Tolisso and Sanches who I believe in. We in general need to get rid of the slow mentality where guys only pass instead of trying to go through defenders (and being capable of doing so), there are barely any moments of surprise and it's far too easy to defend us right now.
This sums up the United fan experience at Old Trafford https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/...lencia-jose-mourinho-old-trafford-fear-doubt/
No idea honestly, don't know how many US Ronaldo fans there are. Most of these diehard player-only fans are from Middle Eastern Countries and Africa, doubt they follow politics.
I feel bad for Karius, he conceded another weird/funny goal today vs Malmo. Part of the Belgian media is kinda brutal aginst him, Besiktas next game in the European leauge would be vs Genk and some of the headlines are talking about how they will exploit him and his "butter hands".
When a keeper is in his own head like that, it's hard to get out. It's like getting the shanks in golf or the Rockets in Game 7 of the WCF. The ball just won't do what you want it to do. Once an opposing team sees this, they'll start taking shots from everywhere just to see if he can make the save.

I still find it hard to believe if they go out there and win 6-0, he gets fired. But I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if the players decide one more loss is for the greater good. EDIT: I didn't think they'd really take a dive...but it's 0-2 in 10'.
Alexis still fighting for Mou, but might not be enough. Reports saying they are not best buddies. Kept Martial on dog leash long enough. Newcastle dun have half the quality of United but played very well with what they have in the 1st half.
