I assume looking clueless in the friendly against Everton was part of this grand master plan.

Having a ‘singular’ masterplan, doesn’t take into account that the opposition know your tactical plan and how to defeat it.

A coach needs to be adaptable.

Sesko scored 10 non-penalty goals in the Bundesliga last year.

I look forward to him being loaned out to some south European side in two years time while scoring record goals in their loan spell

Been seeing news of Baleba going to United.

If that happens, They are going to be competitive.

All their striking talent seemed to have their stats padded with penalties and free kicks something they won’t be doing at Old Trafford.

Article about their training facilities refresh - my favourite bit of information was that they now have smart urinals. I give you Manchester United - a club where the toilets are smarter than the players using them :toilet:

Like I’m trying to think what would constitute a smart urinal.

They have some at our local swimming pool that only flush when they have been peed in. This is meant to vastly reduce the amount of water used.

I don’t think it’s exactly state of the art technology.

Makes overlapping runs?

They did get good deals so far under Amorim.

Jury’s out with Sesko but Cunha , Mbuemo are all solid deals. Dorgu looks alright too (dodgy defensively but he’s alright playing in the wingback).

Pretty much any shopping centre have these. I do feel any story about this lot comes with a lot of smoke that anything critical is probably worse than it is.

Disagree I feel they’ve overpaid for all three players so far this summer.

They just keep falling into the same traps. In Europe they only go for players with a big name, otherwise they overpay for “premier league proven” players

Great example is both Frimpong and Kerkez. Both would be perfect for that system Amorim runs, but United were never even mentioned around them. Lots of other moderately priced players around Europe that could have come in and improved them, but because they weren’t sexy names that everyone knew already, then United weren’t interested.

They’ve learned fuck all and will come up short again this season. Could maybe see them sneak into top 8 and maybe Europa League, but they’re still miles off the required standard.

There’s always an element of overpaying when it comes to premier league clubs and more so when it comes to United.

But the point is that they’ve made 3 good transfers so far. Atleast 2 premier league proven transfers and one who looks good.

They’re still a team which is majorly lacking. With the troubles that villa and Newcastle are facing , it’s not beyond United to seal a europa or even 5th

We are a bigger attraction than United. I would say that we would have probably been interested in Mbuemo if for instance , salah had left. But he might not have been our first choice.

Therein lies the difference, they are stuck into transfers which clubs with better transfer teams passed up o.

Jury’s out in Sesko but he’ll get better service with Cunha and mbuemo than what hojlund recieved.

And as far as Frimpong and Kerkez are concerned. They were no other clubs engaging in the battle because their minds were made up. It was always Liverpool for them.

Which sort of makes you wonder why they’ve done that deal?

Really boggles the mind. A Klopp would have waited for a year to see if the present strikers were any good before ringing in the replacements.

Hojlund is lacking but he isn’t that much different from gyokeres for instance.
