4222all over that, surely

disgraceful prices.

Adams, James or Bowen maybe?

Reckon so, can see Lemina starting this one, Somehow. Ralph has said we need to be compact, so reckon you are about right......

Ralph has just said himself, it would be very very hard to maintain the form he has seen over a whole season as it is. he must be wrong

Weird, it is a presser for our game at the weekend (and a big one) and they are asking Ralph his thoughts on the title race! WTF?!?!?! Ralph: We are 1 win from definitely being safe We have had a hard month and have done wel Gotten the number of points we have deserved Team have showed how committed they are and understand more of what is expected However, still not at 40 points which is what we need and hope to have 40 points Sat afternoon I knew I could do this job, I trust my team. We have invested a lot in this club to rid of the negativity it is clear that we are now growing. We are on a journey and that is important First we have to be safe, then onto the summer. We must start differently next year as it will be tough to match the form for a whole season Shane has showed in the last 4 games that he has a fantastic character and performance he must stay fit, he knows how to look after his body We have worked very hard with shane, showing him better positions and now it is paying off He never stops learning, we never know what will happen We didnt do anything special for the goal against Watford, all teams prepare properly we wanted to attack immediately and we did just that With Charlie, we will discuss this - as with all players - once we are safe. Charlie is an alternative from the bench Vestergaard not fit, bertrand a doubt, Targett is back in training Armstrong has a knock, Long is fit and trained today. Bournemouth had a very good start and have never really been in trouble They have a good manager who is doing a fantastic job it is a bit like a Derby because they are very close This is a special game for us as we can get the 40 points and make us safe We are very motivated for this We must do our job and we have almost done it nearly every game, we have had chances to win and that is good. Bournemouth may not be constantly good in the 2nd half of the season but we must be organised as they are dangerous we must be compact against them Long is not the only player who has improved since I have arrived

and of course, United are better than Spurs

how much do you think he would cost?

its like saying, with Top Heaton in goal, Burnley are (or around) a top 6 side. and under Ole Soljskear, United are as good as Spurs. neither are true but the 'stats' will tell you it is. I do not think we will agree on this and the summer will back up the point that this squad/team requires serious changes to make us a top 10 side...if we are already, why bother?

we also lost to cardiff twice under ralph, along with a couple of other terrible results....which proves we are not a particularly good side. We have 1 right back, a truly awful CB, Long is now our main man up front, severe lack of pace and yes, let in so many late goals and dropped so many points. I very much doubt Ralph would get this team top 7 over a whole season hence why we will need some big changes in the summer. if we are a good side, the changes would be very minimal as we are a club that likes to penny pinch. It is not negative to believe ralph has been superb since coming in, got more out of a squad that would have been easily relegated under hughes and accept on the whole, this current squad/team is not a particularly good one. Good enough to survive but not much more

it is a fair response because it is true. Why do you think we all agree a fair bit of change is required to the team/squad? Because the team/squad is not a particularly good. Hence why we only have 37 points, sit 16th and still not mathematically safe.

They will have two massive games against Barcelona. Could take a fair bit out of them and take them out of the competition!!!

the gulf between the two teams in the 2nd half is big Lukaku has shown his awful 1st touch this half, Fred is atrocious and too many heads have dropped

It is tragic, United are an absolute monster of a club that would sweep aside all before them not that long ago. The same club that currently has Ashley Young as their skipper

oh yeah!!!

what time? when he is 30?

because we are not a particularly good premier league side

I wonder if we also hold the record to be in the lead for the longest amount of time without winning the game?

Ings can barely provide 60 mins a week. it's madness and going to cost not far from £20m

I agree with you but reckon Ralph will freshen it up a bit and Lemina is someone he likes.

I reckon Valery, Vest, Lemina and Ings will come in Gunn Bed Yosh Vest Valery Bertrand Lemina Hoj Armstrong Ings Redmond

has anyone said this of Stephens..or have you just made this up?

what has that got to do with assessing stephens?

:lol:

basically, Ings is still god for only 60 mins or so per week what a stupid signing
