New ex-players (and managers) thread

De Gea really shouldn't have passed to the bloke though.
Still mildly amusing though

Agreed. It was a horror pass, and put Maguire under a huge amount of unnecessary pressure.

Completely De Gea's fault in my eyes.

 

[bocadillo]

He probably learned to pass like that while with us under Brendan

De Gea at Leicester? That's something else I'd forgotten about!

Just to keep the response short, perhaps you could list out what you can remember?

I was at the City Ground that day with my uncle He lived in Nottingham and had bought tickets. I only remember because I'd arranged to go to Fulham with a cousin having forgotten about the prior engagement with my uncle... had to phone my cousin back and cancel out.

Beats Sav's story.

You wish

Oh? I've not heard this? Anyone fancy enlightening me?

Maguire had his arm out asking for the ball. You could clearly see that in real time. Sure, De Gea could have chosen a different option, but Maguire is culpable.

There are 3 players converging on Harry, meaning other Utd players were free to pass to.
Stupid and unnecessary from De Gea

Both are to blame. Also the manager for insisting that pissing about at the back is the way to play...every game has a goal like that one nowadays.

 

[taupe]

It's fookin' daft innit? Creating problems for yourself in dangerous areas. I remember my coach going ballistic if anyone passed across the goal - the poor ****er would have a coronary watching the farting about around the penalty area that goes on these days.

Yep. Are there any stats for how many goals are from this new pissing about at the back craze? Must be about 50% or more of the goals scored.

Awwwww poor little Wes. Looks like he needs a cuddle.

 

[Graz]

Awwwww poor little Wes. Looks like he needs a cuddle.

I can't really take much joy in how shit it's going for him when we're doing even worse.

If he was still here, we'd be in a better position...

He’d be in the sickbay

MoN may have come back if we’d asked him.

Martin O’Neill would have been interested in short-term Leicester role

The 71-year-old’s last foray into management was with Nottingham Forest and ended in the summer of 2019.

Well I’d have taken it if they’d have asked me as well

Would have been an equally ludicrous decision

What about Brian Little?

Naaah. He went to his nan’s and missed the call.

It happens.
