Started watching in 05 and missed out on that Sharpe intense feeling that you’d get, knowing there was no better team that weekend, except for maybe two in Europe and they had to be playing well against United to beat them. Lucky me as a fan, the team matured and played almost unstoppable, amazing football from 2007 through 2012.

Clips from mid-90’s to early-00’s show the qualities of great clinical strikers who linked up very well with the midfield players and could take on more attacking responsibilities. A lot of plays came from counter-attacks, but when teams were defending from the edge of their box United would attack coming in diagonally through the box, either through an early cross or a deep cross to the second post.

Having relentless attacking football, SAF would develop teams synonymous with the nickname of the stadium. We can do more than just dream.

Being beaten by Barcelona in those two finals, and Madrid/Bayern tells a different side to the style. It has been stated somewhere in this subreddit that the philosophy has work well few times with world beaters in those squads. Too late for that now.

I’d imagine there will be a “re-structuring” of the squad due to Wayne’s good game the other day as a midfielder and how he is used this summer (not as a striker). Whether you like them or not, Schwein and Wayne are both players with gall. Their experience and mental qualities cannot be equated to nothing this summer. Gall was seriously lacking in players; LVG would bury players with style or bench week in and week out due to being too proud to adapt. The re-structuring also coming from seeing the talent all these young dudes have.

My frustrations from seeing Wayne not one-up Cristiano when he left is visible to my friends who are Madrid fans. There needed to be someone to establish a partnership with Wayne. Instead fans got that run of games in which Wayne could not miss if the shot came from his head.

All the younger players from this season revitalized United fans. New exciting blood. It all needs some direction and the fans at Manchester have to do something. Maybe hoist another plane? As embarrassing as that was, there needs to be a messageas striking. Like booing two days ago when they started passing around in too many plays instead of going for it. Dio ti benedica Darmi. The fans need to be heard: we have had a terrible season and we don’t want to repeat the same errors. Sacking LVG might be start but there needs to be a collective voice from the fans saying, “we want blistering, accurate, balanced, positionally-minded, ballsy football” or “score 2.25 times more than this season, we don’t care how”. There needs to be one message, a goal to build on to take United to another Cup Final or an EPL League Championship celebration two weeks before the season has ended. Not a message of how they’re just unhappy. Especially since a lot of fans in this subreddit probably don’t live in Manchester. The collective here doesn’t really get paid a lot of attention, right? We are just a bunch of people in their underwear, far far away.

There can just be outrage and hate. Constructively criticizing, public shows of affection like Dortmund (personally I’d coordinate with the organization to throw hundreds of thornless roses at DDG), singing, and just a better outlook to an upcoming game. The amount of negativity by fans before a game does not help. I played football whilst in secondary education, and confidence/anger via Metallica, girls, or by not being negative would really help.

Still salty from Drogba and Lampard stealing it from us with that great play back then, so what I want from tomorrow should give the fans some happiness to see the players content with a small achievement.
