WE ARE NOT LOSING EITHER!
 
@Blue_London @Nope

Lukaku might be out 2-3 weeks, damn.

Here are the matches he will most likely miss - Norwich ( H ) - Southampton ( H ) - Newcastle ( A ) - Malmö ( A ) - Burnley ( H ) . Thankfully its the easy part of our schedule. Schedule gets more difficult after this, but (never thought i would ever say this) thankfully there is an international break in between. So as long as its not a Pulisic type recovery, he should be back for -Leicester - Juventus - Man Utd
Hopefully, Pulisic will be back for Newcastle otherwise I am not sure anyone will be as direct
 
Man United fans may find this interesting.

I do find it hilarious that when people talk about what's wrong with Man United or how can they improve, everyone says completely different things. Now it's mctominnay not being played in his right position



It seems to me the biggest consistency to all of this is that Man U need to change formation or adopt one based players at their disposal.
4-3-3 is what I've always thought would work best particularly for Pogba
 
@Hundredeyes not looking good for your boy Ziyech…

“He was in the team in the beginning of the season because of performance, because it was so obvious after the pre-season that he has to be on the pitch.

“He scored and then had the injury in the Super Cup game and from there I felt that it cost him a lot because maybe even until today I don’t feel him 100 percent free with his shoulders [...] even if it is maybe no pain, even if it is maybe unconscious, subconscious there is something that limits him in his movements and in his freedom to move to turn and to accelerate and decelerate and I think he needs time and patience to fight his way back into the team."

Who’s the greatest player to never win the Ballon D’Or ?

Raul, Buffon and Puyol are the last ones that should have from that list IMO

I still Don’t understand how Iniesta and Henry never won one.

the real answer is Maradona though!


Del Piero is one of my favourite players of all time though, back in the college days in 2010 - and shortly after we lost the final to Spain - we drove to Italy high af with over 200 euros worth of weed in some oldskool Opel Vectra, ended up in Turin, copped tickets to a obscure EL match and ended up in the Curva side of the stadium with them Juve Ultra’s and saw Del make this goal:



good times!

Yeah it’s fucked up, critics here in NL always stated that he needed to bulk up and hit the gym cause the stronger competitions dont have a RKC or Willem II where you can just put in 50% , he’s more like a Van Der Vaart or Ozil, great and absolut talented players but they don’t really live that Athlete life . it’s more a running mans game nowadays , can’t get away with just talent and adreline …
