Talk about #ManchesterUnited (+England) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Appreciate Berba 🤴🏻 Dabble in the #NFL and #NBA 🏈🏀

[Basically Berbatov @UnUnitedOutlook]

Player by player thread on how I think their 17/18 season has been and what it means for next season and the future

[Basically Berbatov @UnUnitedOutlook]

@FergieFutboI Last 6 years, who’s been better for our club?

[Basically Berbatov @UnUnitedOutlook]

Since Fergie retired, I’d put Herrera behind only De Gea and maybe? Valencia in terms of contribution and consistency, in a time where the club has been a mess, sacked 2 managers, had players downing tools, he’s always put the effort in and rarely played badly

[Basically Berbatov @UnUnitedOutlook]

Issue is he thinks he can do it 10 times a game

[Annemarie Dray @AnnemarieDray]

If Fernandes happens we will finally have a player who can strike a ball from outside the box again.

[Basically Berbatov @UnUnitedOutlook]

@FergieFutboI Give it a rest mate, in the last 5 years he’s arguably been in our top 3 players, never once downed tools and wanted to stay, we offered him a shite deal while signing on countless bigger problems, if we’d paid what he was worth he’d still be here, very few as good as him itw

[Basically Berbatov @UnUnitedOutlook]

@Utd_Mas Not sure they could pull in anyone better, mid transfer ban after losing hazard, don’t think they could entice an allegri

[Basically Berbatov @UnUnitedOutlook]

@Utd_Mas Agree with all of this, he’s not as slow as he looks too, Also, an underrated skill, a great dribbler our from the back (as opposed to modern passers), not to mention rarely injured in 2 years, gives him and Lindelof the chance of forming a connection, Shaw n awb also I’d hope

[Basically Berbatov @UnUnitedOutlook]

@AndreasRole I agree form won’t stay that good, but I feel it’ll meet somewhere in the middle between the start and end of Ole’s reign, with signings and a good pre season, and imo Chelsea and Arsenal not progressing, 3rd and 4th is realistic and imo likely, espec if Bruno and Maguire come in

[Basically Berbatov @UnUnitedOutlook]

Add Lukaku out and Ben Yedder In and yes it’s a good summer

[Mark Goldbridge @markgoldbridge]

James
Wan Bissaka
Maguire
Longstaff
Fernandes

That's our summer folks. Is it good enough?

[Basically Berbatov @UnUnitedOutlook]

@AndreasRole In 10 games with a fully fit side and players in good shape we literally had title winning form, give Ole a pre season and we could be right up there imo, most likely be 3rd/4th

[Basically Berbatov @UnUnitedOutlook]

Europa gives a chance for the young lads to improve (Scotty, Greenwood, Chong, Garner, Gomes, Longstaff?, James), maybe for backup players to improve stock and be sold, and 20/21 season add a couple of signings and we’d be right up there I hope, I really believe in Ole

[Basically Berbatov @UnUnitedOutlook]

I think if Ole can get the lads fit enough and refine his tactics, a solid 11 of DDG WB Lindelof Bailly/Maguire Shaw Matic Fred Pogba/Fernandes Martial Rashford Lingard being potentially good enough to be battling for 3rd, a big step from last season in the right direction

[Basically Berbatov @UnUnitedOutlook]

2 already in, get Fernandes in, look at a CB, and bring in Ben Yedder If Lukaku leaves, not sure we should rush on longstaff when Garner hasn’t been given a fair go yet

[Basically Berbatov @UnUnitedOutlook]

Order number 3386 just for the speed of things, placed around 6pm today

[Basically Berbatov @UnUnitedOutlook]

@DeliverooHelp @AlmostFamousLIV me and my 5 friends ordered £87s worth of food to be delivered, (6 burgers, 3 chips), were only delivered 2 burgers and 3 chips and weren’t offered a full refund, only a partial refund or an hour wait for missing food (after already waiting 1 hour)

[Basically Berbatov @UnUnitedOutlook]

@utdarena

[Basically Berbatov @UnUnitedOutlook]

What a stupid way to do statistics, the person has never heard of standard deviation, and also gives no weight to more important metrics, if ur striker is 1st in goals but 20th in through balls is he average too? Go to a stats lecture ffs, shaw is as good as any English LB atm

[UtdArena @UtdArena]

27 different metrics, 21 different left backs, 1,000+ hours of data.

Conclusion: Luke Shaw is average (10th) defensively, average (10th) offensively and average (10th) in build-up.

It's no surprise that Southgate hasn't taken him.

[Basically Berbatov @UnUnitedOutlook]

If Madrid would swap him for Courtois or Navas I’d bite their hand off, I’ve disliked de Gea as a person since the fax machine, the guy isn’t a nice bloke, doesn’t care about us fans and wants to go to Madrid, if we can get a decent keeper in or keep Romero, good riddance

[Basically Berbatov @UnUnitedOutlook]

Don’t see how ANYONE can defend DDG, may have saved us a few times over the years but he’s also tried to leave, flirted with Madrid and never committed his future to us, he’s not been loyal to us fans so why should we be loyal to him when to be honest for 6 months he’s been awful

[Basically Berbatov @UnUnitedOutlook]

Furthermore we’ve always conceded goals because he can’t control his box, doesn’t step out and help the defenders (leaving them constantly shielding the ball toward him and having to kick it out), can’t catch crosses, isn’t great with his feet and now can’t save bread and butter
