@WayneSBarton I also think that deep down, although high prolie pundits/ex pros/fans won’t admit it, is the fact that Ronaldo played for United. The most polarising club in world football. You either love them or hate them.
Barcelona and Messi - for most is a ‘neutral’ club.
@FPLfrasier Rashford has at least two big moments in every game he plays.
Summerville doesn’t have the x-factor.
But…it’s about their mentality. CS doesn’t stop moving and he works hard from a defensive POV. Rashford is a major attacking threat, brilliant in transition, but doesn’t defend.
Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson have been incredibly poor all tournament. Spence has been England’s best player in this game (which is shameful). O’Reilly is offering zero threat down the left.
No creativity at all.
Trent, Palmer, Hall all left at home.

@RyanTaylorSport Fair enough, but they are all RB specialists...and they have top Class CB's next to them; Saliba, Gabriel, Martinez/Otamendi.
We have Guehi (out of form), Konsa (too aggressive) and Stones (not fit).
@FPLfrasier Henderson only got minutes because it gave him the appearance record at World Cups in a game that was already won. Mainoo is far more likely to come on in knockout game.
@UnitedStandMUFC Mostly because for the last 13 years we’ve been wasting £30-£90m on sub-standard (ill-suited) players. E.g. Lukaku, Sancho, Fellaini, Di Maria, Depay, Wan Bissaka, Lindelof, Van de Beek, Antony, Hojlund and Ugarte. Over a decade of decay means a few years of austerity. #mufc
@hamzaa__i@utdreport They kind of go hand-in-hand. Biggest club, in the biggest and best stadium (generating hundreds of millions in revenue), state-of-the art training ground. What player wouldn’t want to play there?
Declan Rice has been poor in this game (ball watching for Croatia’s first goal). He needs a rest. Leave him on the bench vs Ghana and Panama.
Gordon has worked hard but has offered very little going forward.
