Why can everyone else have an opinion on Twitter ( X ) on football / players but not weird for footballers to tweet anything other than ‘good to get the three points thanks for the support’ is that what you lot really wanna hear?
Being able to thrive in the physical game is about how you use your body more than how big or muscley or tall you are.
And getting to know how to use your body requires time on the pitch.
Physicality talk matters but massively overrated, gone about the wrong way IMO.
@AbdelBeheri After a United defeat the TL decides to choose a villain.
You must pray they never decide it is you.
You want pray double it is never you before an international break.
Leo cements his legacy and the conversation is about him wearing a bisht. There's no pleasing these people. The raw amount of ignorance regarding Arab culture by the majority of mainstream media resulted in so many race-induced comments by them. BBC, Lineker, Sky Sports, etc.
@UtdArena xg plus-minus data would be interesting. If possible maybe try something like APM or RAPM in basketball. It would be cool to see if we could isolate a player’s impact without bias towards a playing style
@UtdArena Based on my understanding of the rules, that clause only applies for situations where it isn’t normally called a handball. Yesterday, that incident is considered a handball normally so the result shouldn’t have mattered
Pogba’s genuinely one of the nicest guys in football and is admired and respected by his peers.
There’s no amount of misguided “but he disrespected the club with his agent” shouts that’ll ever change that.
15/16: Martial has 17G + 7A in 46 90s.
16/17: We sign Zlatan → Martial’s demoted.
17/18: We sign Lukaku → Martial stays demoted.
17/18: Martial has 11G + 8A in just 19 90s.
17/18: We sign Sánchez → Martial’s demoted further.
Martial was taught that what he did didn’t matter.
Martial was racially abused on social media by fans after a game. Pogba’s just been religiously abused by fans for posting about his religion. Yet, both of them just want to get fit and play for the club even if they do end up leaving in the summer.
Leave your toxicity.
Just thoughts:
The biggest issue I noticed about United’s online presence is whenever the team goes on a bad run or not playing well, the first thing that gets critiqued is the players’ “characters” and “effort”.
