Played footie, scored a cracking goal. Sure, it was a tap in after the winger dribbled well but putting the ball in the net matters more than dribbling. 😂😈🔥
There were hints of frustration before Martinez spoke his mind. In August, Harry Maguire said he wanted "competition for places" and that he wanted #mufc to add "the best players" in front of him.
Shaw said: “I'm sure there will be a couple of additions to the squad, which is needed to make it stronger.” [@StevenRailston]
Roy Keane left the Ireland camp because there were cheese sandwiches at lunch and publicly slated the FAI in and interview while the rest of his team and country prepared for a World Cup campaign after he ditched them.
If we don't get some of our transfer business done in January, there's no way we're addressing all these holes in one summer window.
We need 2 CBs, 2 LBs, a ST, RB, LW and possibly midfield replacements depending on Bruno and Mount. That's way too much to do in one window.
So let's get this right, Man City owners are guilty of investing £1BN in the football club & £10BN in Gtr Manchester & treated like criminals by the football authorities.
Meanwhile Man Utd owners have taken £1BN out of the club and are treated as heroes!
The only thing I agree with Carragher here is the perspective of “fantastic season last season”. Licha was wrong. Utd finished 3rd with first round exits. That’s nowhere close to a fantastic season.
"I think it's awful that he's come out and said that... That does nobody any good at all."
@Carra23 weighs in on Lisandro Martínez's post-match comments following Manchester United's defeat 🗣️
Can we make something clear? I’m seeing it twisted everywhere now.
Licha did NOT criticise the ‘quality’ of his team-mates. He did not call them rubbish.
He specifically referenced ‘NUMBERS’
When he’s saying this isn’t a ‘UCL squad’ he’s referring to bodies.
Key difference.
Makes you think about all this, I remember Maguire saying in pre-season something on the lines of wanting the best CBs in the league in front of him, Shaw said something similar too and now Martinez, all big “leadership” group players. It’s not a coincidence this.
@venzidane The problem is lack of “overhaul”, these owners haven’t overhauled the squad since 2014 in a single window. Any manager would’ve failed. So, id rather stick with Carrick because he isn’t the problem.
🚨🗣️ Wayne Rooney on Lisandro Martínez saying the squad is not good enough:
"He's disrespecting his teammates. It's not going to help the situation at the club at the minute."
@venzidane Carrick may or may not succeed but club undervaluing recruitment is the reason we are in this mess. Other heads must roll before Carrick gets sacked.
