  1. Goetz, Reus, Gundogen, Lewendowski, Hummels, Kagawa, Blasikowski.... The spine of the team were all early 20's as they are all still playing to this day and that's without digging up the rest of the squad. Heavy metal football takes it's toll, no way can a team maintain the same level season after season after season. Klopp is an incredible manager but in my opinion his biggest flaw is he builds and incredible team and he doesn't rotate it enough, he sticks with his strongest eleven and he runs them into the ground. Liverpool rightly won the league last season but before the first lockdown signs were there fatigue was kicking in, Atletico dismantled you at Anfield and you looked out on your feet. The league was in the bag anyway, you couldn't be caught but it was a little glimpse into what lay ahead. Let's see what he does when he gets VVD back in the team, I will judge him then myself.
  2. All these records and trophies and nobody actually cares other than City fans. First club to buy (sorry win) the domestic treble and it's not even been spoke about hardly since. United do treble in 1999 and it's still lauded to this day. Liverpool win first League title in 30 years and there are documentaries and street parties during a global pandemic. City can win 50 games on the trot, win countless trophies but the money spent building over a ten year period has turned people off football. He bought the club, he bought the A list players, he bought the best backroom team in European football, he then bought the best manager in world football. One thing he will never ever be able to buy..... The respect of the real football fan, any success gained by a club that's been grown organically will always dwarf whatever success City have built from cash. City fans may say United and Liverpool have spent silly sums, but that argument has it's flaw....... We've earned that money by being the two biggest sporting clubs/brands in England and it doesn't matter what City do or spend or win, that won't ever change. The End......
  3. I'm referring to the team of two seasons ago not Ajax as a whole who have produced some of the best players of all time.
  4. Forgot about Ziyech... Another Ajax overrated player, honestly has any player they've sold gone on to have success out of that side. You can add Timo Werner to that list, overrated beyond belief that lad.
  5. Your next three league games.. Man United Liverpool Everton I think you are being pretty negative, obviously I've got to back United but you're the home side in this fixture and you have the pleasure of possibly extending Liverpool's home record to a fifth defeat and Everton are so inconsistent I think you will beat them.

    I'm pretty sure he's already ordered my 2022 calendar... No more mentions.

    Caz has already seen it pal, she was on another forum with me. She can confirm I actually look like Rocky Dennis rather than a 90s Brad Pitt.

    Mate I'm not feeling any pressure don't worry about it. I'm not ruling out donating to the forum at some point but it's only been a week, having said that if I post my photos I might be able to make a few quid by setting an only fans page for the good ladies of the forum.

    How do you know my financial situation, I could be living off super noodles and beans for all you know. I'm not to be fair but if it's all the same I'd also like to spend a bit of time here and get to know people before paying my way.

    Okay so I've got to pay for the right to post a picture of my charmingly good looking face. I will stick around for a while before I decide to donate, it seems a nice pleasant forum so far.

    Why doesn't it have the photo attachment option for me in the reply box. I can't attached any pictures.
  14. You don't need to worry about the trophies mate, they are both coming back to Manchester..
  15. If he wins the Europa league he will no doubt have a huge bonus built into his contract so he could be walking away with a huge sum of money if you include the pay off as well.
  16. He clearly doesn't fancy a fair few of the defenders being played at the moment but like you said needs must and he needs to try something a bit different because you look fragile. Kabak is young lad thrown completely into the deep end and in some ways I think he's lucky there are no fans there because you could imagine the amount of pressure he'd be under with the fans sighing every five minutes.
  17. Kane isn't going anywhere anymore. The transfer fee would be that huge it wouldn't make sense given his age and the fact he has a pretty long injury record.
  18. What if he was to win you a trophy, would that change the mindset of the fans? Say he won the Europa league, lost to City in the league cup and continued his dodgy form in the league.
  19. How long do you give Mourinho? Surely Levy is considering his position now, Spurs have one of the best attacking line ups in the Premier league all he seems interested in doing is shutting the door and praying one of Kane and Son can break away to score. It's such an outdated system and it has to be carried out by a team with a solid defensive unit and Spurs haven't got that.
  20. Who's the three if you don't mind me asking? Fabinho, Kabak and Phillips? Personally as an outsider looking in I think I'd say the best three would be Fabinho, Kabak and Robertson as the three with that Greek lad at left wing back. Luke Shaw does the left hand CB role pretty well and I think Robertson could fill that space easily. Henderson is a huge loss though given the circumstances, who offers the same drive to your team without him.
  21. Berbatov was an amazing footballer, he had absolute world class ability but lets not forget about 70% of his time at United he was a bit of a let down. Maybe it was the way he wanted to play the game but he did seem a bit of a square peg in a round hole at times and I do wonder if he loved being the king of a small pound rather then just another one of the elite. Darren Bent said at Spurs he wouldn't mix with the other players, he'd eat alone, sit alone on the coach and was basically a loner his whole time there but then he'd heard at United the refused to let him be a loner and he wasn't allowed to be sat on his own at breakfast and lunch. Maybe that's why United were winning stuff and Spurs weren't I suppose.
  22. I've always maintained Martial strikes as one of these lads that doesn't really care about the game, it's a job to him, he's good at it and that's enough for him. These are the players that frustrate me so much and these are the players Sir Alex didn't have anything to do. The kid can sulk all day long for me but his place is now on the bench and if he's not happy I'd happily part company in the summer. Maybe use him as bait to get Haaland or Sancho.
  23. Good news that, he'd had a tough start to the season but the last few weeks he's been one of our better players and I can't for the life of me understand why Ole picked Martial ahead of him against West Brom.
  24. I wouldn't say he's been a lesser right than James just yet AWB has had some brilliant performances in some big games, TAA is a different kettle of fish all together, he may have fell away this season but last season alone made up for at least three seasons worth assists for a full back! Cancelo is the one I'd have say has impressed me the most, I didn't realise how good he was until this season, he's an amazing skillset for a full back.
