@MiroMitev559346 @UnitedRamble Bang on.

We need to stop pretending like players prioritize Man U. They don’t because we haven’t been a serious club in over a decade. Players want to join Chelsea, City, even Spurs because they see ambitions owners who will spend to WIN!

[Tom West @west74007199]

@JamesTactics @onepunky_ I think it’s because ManU players were overwhelmingly bought for kick and run style. Counter and transition football. We haven’t been a possession team in a decade, especially since we lost a proper midfield. Ole killed it and EtH put the nail in the coffin.

@_smcf Nah, Shibuya is the place most locals won’t go anymore.

[Tom West @west74007199]

@Hosang @JamesTactics @1972_rickyb People don’t understand stats or even basic math. It’s why people thought SpaceX was a great buy at $220. It’s why people don’t understand what progressive tax rate means and turn down a raise because they’ll “go into the next bracket” or even vote against their own interests.

[Tom West @west74007199]

@FergiesRightRef @JamesTactics Player FC isn’t stronger anywhere than Utd. Santos is suddenly “amazing” and worth the money - we’ve seen him in two friendlies ffs. He barely left the bench for Chelsea.

Sick of Player FC. We should be moving players on constantly, not resigning contracts.

[Tom West @west74007199]

@Cantonadevils Mainoo is injury prone too. The last three seasons he’s missed like almost 60 games.

[Tom West @west74007199]

@UTDChuks1 Uh. What youth getting minutes? Mainoo right???

Literally didn’t play any other youth last season.

[Tom West @west74007199]

@Cantonadevils Mainoo:

23/24: 88 days out (17 games)
24/25: 83 days out (19 games)
25/26: 32 days out (6 games)

Add this one to the list.

@Mike87_United @alex_crook They were all in the sights - just for half the price they went for. I heard they also had Mbappe in the sights, but only if it was for 30mil and would agree to an 80% pay cut.

[Tom West @west74007199]

@FergiesRightRef EXACTLY. Theres going to be more and more young kids like this who see Utd as top 8 team, because they’ve never seen them win anything substantial.

[Tom West @west74007199]

@Gazelliottmufc You can win without a leader if you have strong, reliable, REPEATABLE systems behind an average leader.

We have none of those either.

[Tom West @west74007199]

@Meky_worldwide I feel bad for Mainoo because I think in a different environment where fans aren’t just constantly telling him he’s the best midfielder in the world, and without toxic influences in the squad, he could be a great player.

[Tom West @west74007199]

@Hosang We haven’t been an elite team with elite players in a half a decade.

We barely used data to buy players until the 2020s.

Absolute shambles.

Honestly, we’ve been lucky, but in another 10 years, there will be more young City fans than us at this rate because we STOPPED WINNING.

[Tom West @west74007199]

@UtdLicha25 Maguire and Shaw are too slow to play a high line. It’s really really awful. It means we have a mid line or low block, so if we press high we get cut through the midfield so easily.

The truth is that our recruitment was shit for almost a decade. Vibes FC.

[Tom West @west74007199]

@FPLfrasier We are NOT a title contending club. We do NOT have a charismatic manager. We are a top 6 club talent wise at BEST. We overperformed last season with low block and counter football that had us looking like Leicester. We don’t play “modern football”.

Amongst other reasons.

[Tom West @west74007199]

@Frankie241058 Honestly at this point I think it’s more like INEOS trying to distract the fanbase by dangling big signings while knowing they’re going to do fuck all

[Tom West @west74007199]

@Mugheesabid @Alph__Utd You’re telling me a team worth close to a half a billion dollars couldn’t walk over GRIMSBY in their sleep?

Fans should have seen that our squad was incredibly overrated but instead blamed the manager for it. Tactics shouldn’t matter vs GRIMSBY!!

[Tom West @west74007199]

@Meky_worldwide He will play this way for three months, we’ll be in 8th or 9th, so he’ll be pressured to low block and counter. He’ll start winning games based on luck, the fans will praise the “DNA” of low block and counter, and he’ll survive until May when we’re still 8th.

[Tom West @west74007199]

@damianh9 @Scott_Pert Let’s not forget that Barca fans had the SAME issues with him that we did. He REFUSES to defend. It’s a big problem because he won’t play the modern game basically.

[Tom West @west74007199]

@commissionase Maguire way too slow so we will be hit on counter and our midfield will be too open again because high line won’t work.

After 3 months, possession football won’t work so fans and Wilcox will demand same old kick and counter play. We will finish 8th.

[Tom West @west74007199]

@commissionase Also, Tielemans has 0 goals last season so adds nothing for us. Santos had 1 goal in 27 appearances. Adds no goals for us.

Rashford is defensively useless. He will score as many as he allows past. Not good for modern game. 0GD for him IMO.

This season will be bad I think.
