The Footie Thread

[Tashyboy]

Hmmmm. Since his arrival just two years ago, Jadon Sancho has failed, spectacularly I might add, to perform at any level for two managers, three of you include Rangnick.

Given the fact Solskjaer and Ten Hag are poles apart in how they approach matters relating to player discipline, I would say the constant is the player, not the club.

It’s quite clear to most observers that he is a man with real issues, on and off the pitch.

Unfortunately Billy I have gone on record and stated “ I hope he don’t turn into another Daniel Sturridge”. When Sancho was at City he was alongside Foden. They really were as good as one another. Sancho choose his path to Dortmund because City/ Pep would not guarantee him regular first team football or £30 K a week for an academy player. Foden was slated for not following Sanchos route in playing football. And to be honest Sancho was on fire at Dortmund. Foden plodded along learning his trade at City alongside Silvas, KDB, Gundoghan etc etc. Now look at the two players. They are poles apart.

Ten Hag whingeing and Man Yoo fans crying all over Twitter that Gazpacho’s goal wasn’t offside, despite indisputable, irrefutable technology showing that it was.

They literally have no shame do they? I don’t remember any of them saying anything last season when Sam Surridge’s equaliser against them at the City Ground was disallowed because half of his patella was ahead of the tip of the last Yanited defender’s elbow when the pass was played.

Oooh, I can almost taste the bitterness.

Just seen the interview- pretty embarrassing tbh, the offside was pretty clear cut and can’t recall any fouls in the lead up to Rice goal

Gabriel was holding Evans which prevented him going out to block Rice...... It was onside and Hojlund should have had a pen.

Cruel game. We're still poor but deserved something out of the game.

I think he is a very good player , can certainly perform and has shown that , Man Utd spent a long time chasing him and then when he arrived played him on on the right when he played a lot better on the left. But it’s also a team thats constantly changing and it’s hard to see a settled line up during his first two seasons

I think it’s just the wrong fit all round and I’m surprised he didn’t leave in the summer maybe back to Germany to regain his form and confidence

Agree. He's quality but never had a run in the side in the same position.

 

[YandaB]

I wonder which team will be first to try out this, apparently legal, loophole in the offside law ...

So Brazil have dropped Anthony over alleged violence, what do Utd do now? The Brazilian football federation said the 23-year-old had been withdrawn from the squad after "facts became public" that "need to be investigated". Another sad saga involving footballers.

Another sad saga involving men's violence against women (full stop). I was quite incredulous yesterday at the Family Court/Parental Alienation news article.

Anyway. Back to football...oh it's the international break...boring!

but yet surely go to somewhere abroad like italy, spain or even drop down to say a mid table team (like milner has with brighton) or even try a lower team (like barkley has with luton)

no just chase the money over morals when he has been so supportive of LBGTQ rights in the past just go to a country that treats them so poor.

greed pure and simple

It’s pretty obvious his LBGTQ stuff were just pr stunts, I find it hard to comprehend that someone so pro LBGTQ could go and play in Saudi unless of course they’re just full of bs.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

I'm sure the blow to his reputation was softened by landing on top of the lorry load of notes

He could still save his reputation by making a big statement about it while wearing his Saudi kit colours etc. But he won't.

I think the England team should make a statement by refusing to play with him

Think we all saw during the World Cup how that will work out

I think the England team should make a statement by refusing to play with him

the same England team that went to the World Cup in Qatar




As for the interview- don’t think it was a good choice , he wages it seems are about the same as what he was on at Liverpool

The LBGTQ stance he will need to do a lot of work to repair his reputation with them

And the players who play for Newcastle, Man City and Chelsea?

In-form Ward-Prowse told to ‘retire’ from England duty after Southgate snub

Ward-Prowse has shone since joining West Ham but Southgate called-up the likes of Kalvin Phillips and Jordan Henderson instead

www.standard.co.uk

Actually agree with Rio Ferdinand for once (apart from the hyperbole about retiring obviously). It's not the worst thing to have reliable favourites, but to pick players who don't even play football is mad.

I took it as Henderson is garbage now and shouldn’t be near the squad

I wouldn't say garbage he still could perform in the premier league but when you have better options in the premier League missing out for himself who is playing in a new league that hasnt got the same levels of fitness etc then it's stupid to call him up.

I secretly hope he gets booed if he gets on the pitch
