Liverpool v Man United 4:30pm Sun 19/1/20

United front three have out scored Liverpool's
The front three they’ve got have been playing together for ages, seasons now, and you can see the rotation movements, understanding and we hope our front three will get that understanding. I think I’ve only started them together once in Premier League, so we’ve got a way to go to get the understanding but they scored four goals in that game.
So I believe in ours, gonna add to them, definitely, but in years coming we’ll see lots of them. Liverpool have scored more goals than us outside the front three so not gonna say ours are better or theirs are better. Sunday will be a game by itself.

Long-term future of striking options
We can see them three, got them on long contracts, and can see them three developing into a very exciting front three.
I was here with Ronaldo, Tevez, Rooney that’s what we want as supporters and manager, express yourselves, put the fear to their defenders, but we’ve got Daniel James here as well so I am very excited for it.

High hopes for a Greenwood, Martial and Rashford front three  

Pressure is on now i think for Woodward to deliver on some non shitty signings.

We better get them in ASAP or you'd have to think he's gone.

We gave it a good fight, mixed bag performances from players but we had the chances and openings but couldn’t quite find that bit of quality. With all our players fit I think we’d have done them.

Our set pieces defending and attacking are poor, I’m not a fan of zonal marking and why on earth Williams was tasked with VVD I’ve no idea. Conceding from the corner gave us a mountain climb and as I say we just didn’t have enough though Martial should be scoring that.

It’s just where we are at the minute, until the squad improves we’ll have these struggles.

No, and we'll really see at the end of this window how badly they want to 'fix' the current crisis we're in.

If they'd have signed Haaland and Fernandes first week of January that would have shown willingness to change direction and be proactive, shown foresight, vision and an appreciation that they understood the inherent flaws in the squad and want to address such issues.

Of course, reality is some what different as usual.

KNOWING full well that Rashford was carrying a stress fracture in the back, they decide to pass on Haaland. KNOWING full well they'd sold the main senior striker last window and not replaced him. Fuck shit, all you have to do is keep Haaland for 18 months as your plan B option and you'd get your money back and move on to someone else.

KNOWING Pogba wants to leave and you've kept him there against his will AND you'll have to sell him in the Summer irrespective, and that you are already criminally short of experienced quality in midfield - you are then presented with an opportunity to sign just such a player, you then decide, AGAIN, to not want to pay the going rate in a sellers (January) market.

I don't think there's a fan out there who doesn't think Haaland and/or Fernandes couldn't have helped in that game yesterday, and probably have tipped the edge, had these parasite scum been proactive.

And that's just two players who literally fell into their lap without looking further than the end of their noses.

Notoriously difficult my arse. If you're hungry enough and nosey enough you'll find what you need but it's a sellers market.

Haaland, who gives a fuck about the construction of any deal? You treat it as a short term plan B option that gives you an extra body where you need it NOW, you use him till you find something better and get your money back. It's called acting like a big club and being proactive.

Pogba's agent and brother have both said on numerous occasions last season he wants to leave the club, mainly because the club can't deliver the level of success he was promised - can't be any clearer. No club keeps players who don't want to be there, you sell them for what you can get and move on for obvious reasons.

Of course had the club invested in the players to fit around Pogba in the midfield, like Juventus did (and had), he wouldn't have felt so bad about all the weight being on his shoulders, expected to pull a genie out of his arse every 15 minutes whilst on the pitch - but that never happened either.

Had the club demonstrated something different with some clever signings on the pitch that they were serious about challenging you might well be in a position to convince a player like Pogba that's it's worth sticking around. But of course actions speak louder than words.

And there's no point trying to bribe the fucker with Sanchez levels of money because that's what got you in this sorry arse mess in the first place. You've got a player on a kings ransom who doesn't give a fuck and isn't motivated in the slightest.

Gary Neville simply can't believe what he's seeing, particularly this window. Neither can most of football-dom.

The bare minimum these cunts can do now is get Fernandes over the line and even that's nowhere near good enough.

Actually we've made 15 January signings since the January window was invented in 2004. Evra, Vidic, Saha, Larsson to name a few stand outs.

But most clubs are actually reasonably well run and can make do till a longer Summer window. We WERE extremely well run and when we found a better alternative, or strengthen a particular position, Fergie went balls out and got people in. That's proactive, that's doing your job. That's being allowed to do your job for the good of the football team.

'We aren't that type of club' - Listen to yourself, you sound like Hyacinth Bucket.   We're in a deep smelly hole with (alleged) means to do something about it - so you fucking well do it. You might not dictate the terms of that particular deal (win some lose some) but so what? You USE him for exactly what YOU want and if YOU sell him after 12 months purely  because you think he's ugly  and you want to, you do it. You get your money back and get the next (better) deal in.

That's proactive not stuck with your finger in your belly button dithering and penny pinching.

That's why you have an agent, and in Paul's case, a mouthy brother. But Paul Pogba himself stated quite clearly in Tokyo it was time to have a new challenge. Those words came from his lips.

Funny, I also remember Adidas having to step in and act as peacemaker between the parties because it was in nobodies financial interest to part ways at that point, least of all for Adidas.

I want the moon on a silver stick and a magic golden duck that neighs like a horse.

GNev has been playing a very political game for a long time on this whole Glazer ownership subject which you can only speculate on - I have a hunch why, along with a lot of others, but that hand wouldn't be revealed till the time came for the Glazers to sell up. It's not just GNev who keeps their powder dry either. I'm actually surprised he broke cover, maybe frustration, who knows.

Evra did along with the others mentioned. Point is they could have signed Haaland and Fernandes first week in January, well in time for the Liverpool game and job would have been done, a nice pick-me-up for everyone. BOOM! squad strengthened just like that. Couple of obvious gaps filled with little to no effort on their part ready for the Summer ins and outs.

Fucking NOT.

Ole has OK'd the 'bleeding obvious' British talent that was already scouted and on the radar. The one target he did have explicit knowledge of, and had worked with before, and wanted, he ultimately got told, NO.   Not because Haaland isn't talented enough to take a chance on but because 'the deal wasn't exactly right' for  Woodwood. 

You could go into the whole Woowar / Raiola ego pissing contest thing which is probably the reality behind the decision. But for £18 million  as a 12-24 month plan B sticking plaster that they could have easily recouped the money at any point.  It was a no-brainer and passed up by the most inept,  vision-less, cowardly, brain-dead, myopic, pitiful human alive.
