He’s definitely selfish, I’ll give you that. But he’s younger and tries a lot harder than Rashford. Would take Garnacho over him any day. But I’ve had it in for Rashford for a long time now, so it’ll take me a lot to sway in his favour now anyway. Don’t think a few goals really qualifies a return to any kind of form for him. And ETH isn’t probably helping!

I'd pick 'nacho on attitude alone. Rahsford can be selfish too when he blasts it straight into an opponent.
Even just to mix things up, I'd do try it, especially if my job was on the line. There isn't much else to try.

De Gea saves TWO penalties to help Fiorentina to victory over Milan. Amazing!
He is still a world-class goalkeeper.

I assume they went the same way as DDG because he sure as hell doesn't go the same way as the player
He was making far too many mistakes by the end at United and his distribution was awful. The mistakes (and his insane wages) were probably what cost him his place at United. You can't have a keeper making serious errors as well as having holes in his game.
When hes in form though hes a fantastic basic keeper. Makes saves very few other can.
Soldato
After seeing Berbatovs comments about the players should be ashamed that Evans got man of the match (rightly so), could Berbatov just come out of retirement for a few months and give us a little help please. Pretty sure he still has his magic touch.
Man of Honour
He's often petulant and that's something that really annoys me - but "a luxury player we simply cannot afford"? Really? Bruno Fernandes you're talking about here?
Soldato
yup, afraid so.
Caporegime
I understand what hes saying. Fernandes is so much of our creativity and threat going forwards but he is also part of the reason we struggle to function as a proper team. You give up so much control against half decent teams with him.

I'm sure I read somewhere that ge gives the ball away 34 times a match. Not sure how true that is.
Caporegime
Not even close to true lol. The agenda against Bruno is insane.
Caporegime
I think that when hes played like that for so many years, under different managers and he does, up to a point play the same way for the national team, its a Bruno thing not a team thing.
Portugal have a stacked team and are usually playing on the front foot. International football is also a completely different beast.

Maybe I misread. Can someone pull up some stats please? My Google skills are lacking, I can't find the right stat. He averages 37 passes a match this season apparently.
Caporegime
14 passes unsuccessful per 90, of course not all those are 'giving the ball away' exactly. Doesn't include being dispossessed but that is a much smaller number.
Soldato
agenda against Bruno....jesus.
Pretty poor across the board this season:
Attempts around 50 per game - which puts him at 74th percentile
Successful passes, about 40 per game - 69th percentile
Pass completion is 80% - 41st percentile
key passes is 0.95 per game - 60th percentile
