Jadon Sancho replied to me because I defended what people have started pretending they never saw.
The reaction was even more interesting.
Football discourse has a habit of turning complicated players into moral failures. That's why I started OctoFootball

🚨🚨🗣️ Pep Guardiola on the FA Youth Cup Final:
“[Manchester] United always plays really good. Happy to see, in the stands, Omar [Berrada], Jason Wilcox - the most IMPORTANT part in this club [Manchester City] for the last decade, both of them.
“Jason, in the academy, did an INCREDIBLE job. Omar, the right-hand of Ferran [Soriano], had been TOP. And seeing top class players from United, Bruno [Fernandes], Luke Shaw - one of my FAVOURITE players - Mason Mount, the manager Michael Carrick.”

Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer.
Genuinely the only correct attitude for top players. You cannot control how people perceive you, only how you act.
The regression in ten hags all phase build up and specifically his final third arrivals was shocking.
It’s a problem of over complication. The foundation was strong, the goal in year 2, 3 should not have been to add more but to *simplify*
Everyone loves to put the cart before the horse and they have for the past 10 years.
Fix your midfield and marvel at how well your wingers start to play. #ManUnited
It’s okay bros. We will suffer a little. We have suffered a lot, but we will suffer a little more.
Then one day, something will happen, and we will win, and the sky will clear.
No matter how many trophies they win, the profile of the 360 degree operating, conservative midfielder that is comfortable dominating duels without a sweat will always be underrated.
FT still can’t understand basic tempo. Watch the sport. The whole thing is abt knowing when to attack and when to defend, and what rhythm to play with.
Tchouameni isn't impressive on the ball, doesn't run much, doesn't sense danger. He receives a pass & gives it back 2 yards and within a second.
What exactly does he do? What is he good at?
If he has flattered to deceive at mighty real Madrid, what will he do at United?
