Man Utd have got themselves some player in Sancho. He's definitely going to improve their team.

{Ed014's Note - I really can’t believe some of the drooling by the commentators, what’s he actually done, one run that brought a foul and one fluff of his lines when he turned and shot straight at their keeper.

Seriously what have I missed? 🤷‍♂️

I really like his movement, Ed014, I think his dribbling is excellent and he is always trying to be direct.

I think he is going to cause problems for a lot of defences next season, and he is definitely improving the Man Utd first 11, which is a worry in itself 😅.

{Ed014's Note - but the truth is he’s not really done sufficient to warrant all this creaming over him in this game, does my head in!

United genuinely don’t worry me at all, no leader on the pitch, no leader on the touch line and a weak losers mentality.

03 Jul 2021 21:11:17
We’ll have to agree to disagree on part there Ed014. You’re right in terms of not having the leadership, either on the field or in the dugout, which is a comfort.

However, I just look at the raw materials that Sancho has, and he’s only 21, and think how much better he could become with more years under a decent manager. Klopp could work wonders with him!

{Ed014's Note - oh I’m not saying he’s not a good player Zed, it’s just they are creaming over him like he’s having an absolute worldy of a game!

Does my head in when they do that, then show his highlights at half time and basically nothing 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I've said it a couple of times, however Sancho is or isn't, it's not where I'd prioritise spending £80m if I were Man Utd. Lindelof is still first choice, they have two average goalies, no one who can be depended on to control the middle, and need to either trust Greenwood to be a striker or buy one instead of half arsing the decision.

I'd be more worried about them spending the £80m in those areas.

03 Jul 2021 21:14:38
Don’t hold back Ed14 🤣.

{Ed014's Note - well it does my head in Alonso, they always do it with someone and tonight it’s Sancho.

I’ve watched him closely as not seen hardly anything of him.

As for United it’s true mate. They spunk all this money but don’t get a true leader or top quality manager! Christ we took 4 points off them last season 🤣

03 Jul 2021 21:24:39
I agree Sancho is very overrated IMO. Time will tell but i think he will do well to get half Salahs numbers next season. If he gets 10 pl goals I will be surprised.

03 Jul 2021 21:27:56
Now there’s another player on the pitch who I hope gets a few touches - Mr Bellingham!

And it’s amazing to think that Hendo isn’t even as good a header of the ball as our keeper 😂😂.

03 Jul 2021 21:29:09
But you are right Ed014 every winning team has a leader on the pitch Terry, Lampard, Adam's, Viera, Keane, Bruce, Henderson, Van Dyke. I see absolutely no leaders in the Utd squad. Nothing on the sidelines either.

{Ed014's Note - absolutely Barry, a huge weakness, yourselves City and Chelsea are the teams that I want us to better!

Not much chance but you’re all the bench marks, particularly you and City.

03 Jul 2021 21:35:09
I haven’t seen enough of him play, but could Varane be that leader, Ed014?

{Ed014's Note - he’s not been as yet Zed as he played next to Ramos, he doesn’t lead his country either so I’d think not.

As for how good he is, that’s difficult to say as again he’s had the luxury of Ramos.

The premier league is a whole different ball game to La Liga and he’d have a lot more attacking firepower across the prem teams to contend with.

03 Jul 2021 21:37:34
Agree with Ed, watching the game and had thought he was fairly quiet. hadnt really bein listening to d commentary but if its true they're drooling over him i just don't see it.

03 Jul 2021 21:43:10
Ed14. With the money they have spent over the last however many years they should have won league titles and the Champions League.

They had the money to spunk on wages for near enough any player on the planet and just chose so poorly time and time again it’s actually mind boggling.

{Ed014's Note - that truly never ceases to amaze me mate, just mistake after mistake with managers and players.

You look at what City got for much the same money and what you’ve achieved with far less.

If they don’t get it right sooner rather than later then maybe even the money side of things will go down hill too.

Totally agree on the Sancho thing, did virtually nothing yet the commentators had him down as a worldie, looks a good lad but talk about go overboard.
