Bruno gives the ball away a lot because he's got the license to try that risky pass every time he gets the ball. This is also why he creates the most chances, not just amongst United players but in the league.

If we dominate games he should be easily be able to adapt since we'll have a lot more opportunities to score. He's a top passer so if he chooses to keep possession he easily can.

Hag's system isn't visible yet. We're still struggling so I can understand why Bruno gives his all trying to create chances at every opportunity.
That's what I mean, I can't see Bruno working in Hag's system, he's going to have to be a lot more disciplined. He won't have license to be as creative as he is right now cos he gives the ball away too much.

Wasn't sure where to put this, but check out mctominays goal for Scotland if you missed it.

World class free kick, ruled out by a var.

I hate var, and I'm not even Scottish! It's taking away the soul and joy of football.

How the fuck is that a foul?

VAR is just part of the creeping attempts to make football joyless and to make it harder and harder for outsiders to upset big teams. Same with the 5 subs rule, the high bar for pens, allowance of rampant tactical fouls before the first card is shown.

Not long now before we have a super league without relegation financed by dictators and vulture capitalists. Let them fuck off to their “perfect” competition I say.

Agreed. It's ruined the excitement of a goal. I couldn't celebrate McT's second goal against Brentford in case it was offside. It's created a hesitancy.

Yeah, rock on McTominay.

McTominay is ripping it up for Napoli, apparently.

Just goes to show, it's 100% the culture here that kills players.

I personally think selling Fred was the bigger fuck up tbh.

Scott McTominay, title winner and Serie A player of the season. Congratulations lad. Life gets better when you get out of United.

Scored an incredible goal as well.

Watching Napoli reminded me of proper football and proper fandom. Serie A is less commercialised than the Prem, and I think it's hard to sanitise their fandom cos Napoli's fans are the proper boisterous working class. It's religious fervor. The tifos, fireworks - it's all organic, not Official like our stupid tifo.

On Sky they repeatedly tell us how much it all matters, every game, every kick etc as if they need to drill it into us to get us to continue paying to watch these businesses compete (and the richest generally wins). But in Italy, in Naples, it genuinely does matter. Those fans felt true glory, true connection. That's what it's all about.

I was thinking last night - my sense of the Premier League now is that it's just not very exciting. And I assumed I felt that way because United are shite, but actually it's been a very dull season. Liverpool have had it in the bag for ages and I don't actually think they've been that great. The side they had with Mane, Wijnaldum etc was better and didn't win it. Relegation sorted ages ago. And most games lack actual, genuine excitement. The fans get fleeced, it's uber commercialised, social media and VAR over saturate content and kill the vibe.

I'm seriously losing my love for it all.
