I don't think Herrera is good enough for United, I like the guy as a person but his passing is so inconsistent.

[–]CalimariaeSolskjaer 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Maybe I'm still in denial, but I still think he needs a run of matches to show his worth.

That being said, we have better players and I don't see how he'll ever get to start three matches in a row, let alone two.

[–]AnonymousAndroid 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think this is unpopular (?) - at least as far as the first XI goes.

We all love Ander's attitude, but he absolutely is technically limited (at least by 'top top' standards). A bit-part role as a squad player would be my prediction, and if he's happy with that, fantastic for us.

I'll also never not love seeing that cheeky smile careering around the pitch.

Rooney will have a blistering season.

Micki may underperform.

[–]DecievedRTSRooney 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Most likely he's a massive confidence player so he will have to adapt mentally to the club and rotation.

I really dislike the Adidas ads.

[–]BurfobinoDaily Sexy Blind 8ポイント9ポイント  (2子コメント)

Blind will work wonders for us, again.

[–]AnonymousAndroid 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Blind seems to get a lot of stick.

I'm an old geezer and I've watched a lot of footballers over the years - Blind's footballing brain is perhaps the best I've ever seen.

That said, it's also impossible to overlook his deficiencies - speed and strength.

I love watching him play, despite a constant worry he's about to be skinned by some technically inept but pacey player.

So it goes.

[–]murica_sauceVidić 9ポイント10ポイント  (2子コメント)

Schneiderlin is a Champion's League quality player - notwithstanding his underwhelming 2015-16 season.

[–]johncenatbh 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

I really hope he gets his Soton form back, because he would be the perfect fit next to Pogba with Carrick getting old

[–]BanterWithTheLadsYeJanuzaj 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

You mean at Soton where he played box to box with Wanyama sitting in front of the back 4?

[–]TyperSniperKeane 10ポイント11ポイント  (6子コメント)

I could honestly see Lingard keeping Mhki on the bench for the majority of the season

[–]BloodyMess111 19ポイント20ポイント  (3子コメント)

Miki can just replace Rooney at 10 though.

[–]tvrwazzaRooney -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

I think that is true in Premier League but in Europa will see Mkhi play every game.

City will win the title 🙊

[–]mrpiggywinkles52Rooney 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

Surely it'll be us or them, hopefully us but I think one team will just nick it from the other.

[–]hardgourRooney 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

Naw. I think pep will struggle for the first season. He has brought in a lot of new talent, yes, but it will take time for him to learn the English game.

[–]mrpiggywinkles52Rooney 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think he'll struggle but I think he'll occasionally drop points to weaker sides through underestimating them which could add up come the end of the season

[–]cudiwhat 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

[–]CalimariaeSolskjaer 5ポイント6ポイント  (6子コメント)

A defensive pairing of Smalling + Bailly is silly.

I predict they will create so many fouls that it might decide the outcome of our season.

We need a Ferdinand who can read the game, and have one of the tanks do his dirty work.

[–]BloodyMess111 3ポイント4ポイント  (5子コメント)

Blind reads the game well. Would you advocate Blind over Smalling? Bailly is more of a destroyer than Smalling.

[–]CalimariaeSolskjaer 2ポイント3ポイント  (4子コメント)

I think I would actually.

Smalling created more fouls last season than Ferdinand did in his whole career.

[–]BloodyMess111 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

I hate to say it but most of Smallings fouls come from him losing his man. Have you seen him at corners, constantly tugging at a runners shirt.

[–]CalimariaeSolskjaer 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yes, you're right. Bailly is guilty of that as well though.

Rio didn't even need to make contact much. We need that.

Blind is the closest in that regard, but he doesn't really have the commanding presence or the agility that Rio had.

I get a bit annoyed every time I see DDG raging at the defense for stupid errors. And that happens way too often.

[–]BloodyMess111 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

I think Bailly is more of a Vidic with much better distribution. I think we'll be waiting some time before we get a player as good as Rio again. If Stones is worth 47 million can you imagine what Rio would be worth today!

[–]CalimariaeSolskjaer 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yes, we have the Vidic. Actually we have two of them.

I would never start a match with two Vidics.

Rio in his prime would easily be a >£50m in today's market.

[–]jpmoutRooney 7ポイント8ポイント  (6子コメント)

Lingard is a better winger than Martial because he knows how to make runs.

[–]sayheykid24Martial 6ポイント7ポイント  (4子コメント)

This thread is for unpopular opinions, not bad jokes!

[–]mrpiggywinkles52Rooney 3ポイント4ポイント  (3子コメント)

He said better winger, not better player.

[–]AdamDalby 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

Well then in that case Lingard is an absolutely abysmal winger. He comes inside far too often, spends far too much time in central areas and is effectively incapable of beating the fullback around the outside or getting to the byline and whipping in a cross, which is the primary function of an actual winger.

[–]black_squireMartial 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's not the way either Mourinho or LVG utilizes wingers. The Fullbacks do that. Wingers drift in or make runs in behind for the full backs to supply.

[–]sayheykid24Martial 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Lingard is good a running behind defenders, but that's just a small part of being a winger. The goals and chances Martial creates from the wing vastly outweigh what Lingard is capable of, and Lingard also benefited immensely last year from the focus defenses put on Martial. I'm a big fan of Lingard, but to say that he's a better winger than Martial is just silly talk.

[–]johncenatbh 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Runs are one thing, Martial can dribble past players way better and create chances and score goals, Martial is actually much better as a winger rather than a solo striker, look at the stats last season, his numbers as a striker were terrible, 20 matches 4 goals and 2 assists as a central striker, 25 matches 11 goals and 6 assists as a winger.

[–]craptionbot 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think Pogba will take a while to get up and running. Not on the scale of Memphis Depay but factors like:

  • Weight of expectation
  • Switching leagues
  • Forging chemistry with a new team

It's going to be hard to adjust but I have no doubt he'll get there. Just not immediately.

[–]legojs 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hate to say it, but Smalling isn't as good as people rate him. His shirt pulling in the box is getting more noticed and i clench my butt whenever he goes 30 yards forwards only to either attempt a long pass and fail or back pass. I hope he proves me wrong.

[–]justinjames34Schweini 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Tony V will lead the team in assists at the end of the year.

[–]BloodyMess111 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

Chris Smalling isn't as good as we all think he is and likely won't be our first choice centre back in a year or two. LVG's ultra conservative play covered up a lot of his shortcomings.

[–]clg93 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Often thought about this myself, he usually plays well for England but not nearly as good as what I have seen at United. I guess we'll see for sure this year, hope I'm proved wrong!

[–]MrMcgeeyagiScholes 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Blasphemy, how dare you! Big Mike is perfect.

[–]gokhanpictregetaGary Neville 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

He was really good at man marking and shutting the striker out of the game but now that we're playing zonal I have the same fear as you

Rooney needs to be sold ASAP. At this point, he's not good enough to start for us.

[–]aBil11Martial 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think that if we are to challenge for the title this season, Rooney cannot be an automatic starter. If he hits his form, then absolutely but if he continues his shit performances, I really hope Mou will have the balls to drop him.

That way we could also utilise our midfield players (read: Pogba) better because we could play a different formation.

[–]CveinMemphis & Martial 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Martial will need 10 games atleast to get up to par with last year.

[–]dolphin9999Wayne Pogboom 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Martial will underwhelm By that I mean not be as good as he was in his first season

[–]IDespot90Jose Mourinho 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Smalling looked good last season because of Van Gaal tactics and could struggle this year.

[–]danc906De Gea 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

We will finish top 4 but I think the team will take some time to gel and we won't finish top 2.

If Arsenal make an impact signing or 2 before the window closes I think they'll win.

This is unpopular opinion thread not bold prediction thread

[–]VallureHerrera 1ポイント2ポイント  (3子コメント)

Ibra won't score as many goals as some people on here expect him to. Some people look at his scoring record from the past and think he'll replicate it. Not only is he getting older, he's playing in a much more difficult league, so he definitely won't be able to score as many goals for us this season. Not to say he won't be a very influential figure - I believe he will (in other ways such as sheer physical presence or link-up play). Obviously hope to be proven wrong though.

On a side-note, I absolutely loathe the word "destroyer" that many people use to describe defensive midfielders. It's popular, so I guess it's just me, but I can't take opinions seriously when people describe players as 'that midfield destroyer'. It sounds like a LEGO Star Wars battle ship, not a description of a footballer.

[–]johncenatbh 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Zlatan is getting older but he is not some type of player who will lose it that quick because he is a great athlete, look at his body, he is 34 yet he has some insane acrobatic moves, he is the type of player that works out all the time and stays in perfect shape, also does karate and other stuff, even Mourinho said it. As of the Premier League is different, yes it is, but for someone like Zlatan is perfect who doesn't shy away from physicality. Aguero scored fewer goals in La Liga than he did in the Premier League, Torres as well, you have players who are better fits for the Premier League than other leagues. Is he gonna repeat the numbers he had at PSG? Almost impossible, but he can score 25+ goals a season, we've been desperate for someone like that recently.

[–]CaptainHijinx 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

He doesn't drink or party. He is completely dedicated to fitness and staying in shape, he knows at this age what it takes to keep ticking over. I have no worries about him being able to cope with the premier league, despite his age. Some players are done at his age, some are fine, it really depends on how well they've taken care of themselves and some of it is genetics. I think he'll find the net often enough, obviously not as much as PSG given the strength of PL defenses, but he'll do well. The man is like a goal seeking missile, his every move and thought is about ball in net.

[–]CalimariaeSolskjaer 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think anyone expects him to score 50 goals in England.

I'll be happy if he scores more than 15.

We're going to win the league this season. Too many people think we're going to be 2nd to another team but those teams also have first year managers. If anything it'll be harder to win the league in the following years. We're going to do it.

[–]CalimariaeSolskjaer 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

If us winning the league is an unpopular opinion, then I don't want anything to do with this place.

Fellaini will be our third choice midfielder after Carrick and Pogba.

Mata is behind Rooney, Mkhi, and Jesse for the no.10 position.

Memphis Depay needs to be sold whilst we can still get some good money for him. Come next season he will be worth close to nothing if he carries on with his awful performances.

He was even left out the community shield match and he played in every pre season game(And was shite), so it's clear even Mourinho doesn't rate him that much.

People need to let this one go, he just isn't good enough for this level.

[–]wazzajay17Blind -4ポイント-3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Don't know if this is the right place to post it but I don't necessarily want us to win the league this season. I just want us to be taken seriously again and move on from the bit of a laughing stock we have been for the past three years. However, eventually, I want to say a big fuck you to all those who ridiculed us in those years.
