I think it's fair to say that at the start of this season I was reasonably confident we could win the title. As a person I am quite full on and I was in my prediction, as a result I have rightfully been given quite a lot of stick; perhaps unfairly as quite a lot of United fans also said we'd win it, throughout the season but I have never hidden away from it. I stand by what I said in August as it was a logical prediction that a lot of us made, perhaps I was slightly louder than them though so get the most criticism.
I want to really look at what has gone wrong this term, as it all looked so positive. We improved in 2020, went close in 2021 in not just the league but Europa and with the trio of Varane, Sancho and Ronaldo signing it just seemed like we would take that final step to topple the likes of City and Liverpool. Why haven't we? Personally I think we have too many big players and too many egos.
If you look at a fairly recent team for comparison, 2002-2006 Real Madrid 'Galacticos', then I think it's blatantly obvious that we have too many top drawer players who aren't necessarily the best for the team. If you look at that Madrid side, who also reached a European final in 2002, they then signed Ronaldo Nazario and didn't win a single major trophy for 4 years until Capello came in and stopped the rot. He got rid of the egos like Figo, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos etc. We need someone to do the same. Is Ten Hag that man? I hope so, but I do doubt it.
So much of our progression seems to have gone backwards since that 'feel good' ending to the 2020 season. Rashford, Martial and Greenwood have gone backwards when they looked better than Klopp's front 3. Maguire has gone badly off form, so has Shaw and a few others too even Bruno. We really need to sort our house out or we will fall off of a cliff like Liverpool did. I still believe we can finish fourth and I still believe in these players, but someone needs to give them a slap and fast. We are in danger of becoming the new Spice Boys generation except this time the manager of the band will be Moby.
It's best to stay positive so let's hope for 4th place which would make it a fantastic end to the season.
Believe.
This Season: What Went Wrong?

Culver is right to an extent. The players are much better than the account they’ve been giving of themselves since the OGS project went off the rails.
One - albeit by no means the only - big issue around the team is that United haven’t had a proper motivator since Fergie. Mourinho was the closest you’ve come, but he was already damaged goods by the time you got him.
The totally idiotic idea of announcing Rangnick as a stopgap until the end of the season only made matters worse. Even if the idea was always that he’d move upstairs, the message to the players was tantamount to telling them the club was happy to go into cruise mode until the summer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am always right.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Your numerous disappearing acts after virtually every prediction you’ve made previously suggest otherwise….
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't disappear I just get snowed with work.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Conveniently EVERY time you make an idiotic prediction or are proved wrong.
I'm calling bullshіt on your comment.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I ain’t bulling I just get too busy sometimes to use the site.

Are you ever in Manchester City Centre? I will buy you a pint for that opinion. Spot on.
The Leeds game was maybe misleading as they were managed by fraud Bielsa.
Nice one.
Oh I wish. Permanently stuck in London. Don’t know when I’ll be able to go to see my UTD again at O.T.
Hopefully next season.

theres no one at Man-united i would class top quality.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I know you hate us because you're a Liverpool fan, but that's just bias for the sake of it. We have some real top players, they just don't work due to their ego.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Then they’re not top players are they? Work ethic and attitude are just as important as ability and if you’re missing those then you can’t be described as top players.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's ego though they are all still world class players. Just a toxic mix of ego.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
World class
----------------------------------------------------------------------
De Gea - Capable of WC performances, but not at the level of Allison or Ederson
Ronaldo - Living off past glories. Can no longer be classed as a WC player based on his United performances.
Maguire -
Pogba - Is not WC based on his five years at United.
Shaw - Had one very good season with United and England. Not WC.
Bruno - Been found out, seems a million miles away from the player United signed. Got a lot of work to do to get back on the WC list, which I’m not sure he can be bothered to do.
Rashford -
Cavani - Washed up.
Sancho - Wasn’t even WC at Dortmund, just a top prospect. Still has the potential, but a million miles away from WC as it stands.
Are all world class players, they just are either off form or not mixing properly in the group due to ego.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pretty much all of this
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Behave yourself son you support the biggest bottlers in football.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don’t think Spurs will choke top four. Conte has instilled confidence in them, and out of all the teams involved have peaked at the perfect time.

😅 You conveniently didn't answer terminators very accurate analysis of your team. In order for your predictions on man utd to be more realistic you first have to realize that you're living in lala land and you're mostly always wrong.

It's a bit spooky knowing Culer is reading every comment, on every thread from the darkness of his parents cellar.
