Football clubs as baby : Manchester United

David De Gea ❤💛

Marcus Rashford ❤💛

Antony ❤💛

Lisandro Martínez ❤💛

Victor Lindelöf ❤💛

Harry Maguire ❤💛 (He's only crime is not being conventionally "pretty" enough for some people. All of the things people criticize and make fun of him for can also be said about these people's faves but those players get a pass because they are considered 'hot' or 'attractive' enough and Harry isn't. I wish people would be nicer to him. Sorry for the rant 😅)

Bruno Fernandes ❤💛 (The way I almost forgot to add Bruno 🫣)

Phil Jones ❤💛

Anthony Martial ❤💛

Tyrell Malacia ❤💛

Christian Eriksen ❤💛

Fred ❤💛

Match review: Manchester United 1-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers

Well, that was another classic United vs Wolves match...

"Affectionately" referred to as The Dingles by all the rival Midlands clubs who hate them, Wolverhampton Wanders have made a name for themselves amongst United fans as one of our bogey teams over the past decade. Their preferred combination of a low block, fast wingers, and physical play seem to shake us up every time.

At Old Trafford last night it would have appeared to the uninitiated that Wolves were the title contending hopefuls and United were the relegation risk. The old gold pressed hard, dominated midfield, and seemed relatively unfazed by United's approach.

United had 51% possession at the end of the match but it felt anything but an even match. If Wolves could finish, this would have been an Aston Villa scoreline and the news would be wall-to-wall about how we were stunned in our season opener yet again.

Marcus Rashford was an isolated figure as centre forward, with a tendency to drift left. Alejandro Garnacho showed his lack of experience by floating wherever whenever, with greedy solo play. Antony was similarly poor; capable on the ball, pacey, but with poor decision making hampered by a weak right foot.

If possible, the midfield was worse. Bruno and Mount both pushing into a front 5 left Casemiro isolated in midfield regularly, and while we always had 3v3 minimum such a tactic relies on Casemiro being on his game. He was not. He was diving into tackles and deviating from position like a young player, and it opened us up to counters.

Into the back 4 and Lissandro Martinez was a liability, getting a yellow card and apparently picking up an Achilles niggle that saw him swapped for Victor Lindelof - who was decent but struggled with the Wolves pace.

Aaron Wan Bissaka was good in the final third but useless in midfield or defence. Luke Shaw was drifting into LW or LCM with Casemiro. He needs to stay on the overlap, and ideally with Rashford as a 1-2 duo, because he was ineffective.

Thankfully, one man could be depended on to save the day. Mr Champions League. The Rolls Royce of centre backs. Raphael Varane. He was composed and diligent in defence, and popped up with the winning goal before celebrating like he'd won another major trophy. Attaboy.

Substitutions helped a little; Eriksen sat deeper than Mount to play more playmaker, though his lack of pace didn't improve matters as much as say an Amrabat or Mainoo would have done. Sancho looked sharp and was attempting patterns of play, and Pellistri again showed flashes of quality that - with a more regular run of games - could be the making of him; a direct winger with a low centre of gravity and tight footwork on the ball.

The final moments were the controversial part, with Andre Onana smashing into Sasa Kalajdzic in stoppage time. Wolves fans were incensed, Gary O'Neil got booked for protesting, and Jon Moss admitted after the whistle that he'd gotten it wrong and apologised. In real time, it seemed like a penalty. Watching a replay, I'm less convinced - Onana's eyes are fixed on the ball, and he's jumping in competition with two Wolves players. Plus there are other incidents. Brentford vs Spurs earlier on Sunday had a similar incident - no penalty. Wolves vs Leeds last season, Sa on Kristensen - no penalty.

Wolves have every right to feel hard done by a 1-0 defeat, but they also had every chance to score 5 or 6 goals and control their own fate. United were shit, rode their luck, and came away with a crucial win and a clean sheet. If we can win when we're that bad, that's progress, but we need to make sure playing that bad is just opening day jitters and not a trend going forward into September, else it'll be a battle for top half, not top 5.

The Sing-Off, s.4 ep.2 — Party Anthems

Some competitors on The Sing-Off have described the filming process as their most grueling summer camp experience ever. The audience might imagine dozens of performers doing nothing but singing and dancing together all day as one long party, but that's the magic of the performing arts. It takes a lot of hard work to make having fun look so effortless.

.

Group opener

youtube

Most party anthems aren't very complex in terms of music or lyrics, and that's kind of the point. They're intended to be simple, fun, and repetitive so the listener doesn't have to think too hard about structure or meaning. They're meant to inspire dancing, not dissertations. But when your audience is presumably sitting and watching rather than grooving along, it's smart to graft a few different songs together to make things more interesting.

Details:

title: group party anthem medley

original songs / performers: "Let's Get It Started" by the Black Eyed Peas; [0:48] "Die Young" by Kesha; [1:48] "Don't Stop the Music" by Rihanna

written by: "Let's Get It Started" by William "will.i.am" Adams, Allan "apl.de.ap" Pineda, Jaime "Taboo" Gomez, Terence Yoshiaki, Michael Fratantuno, & George Pajon, Jr.; "Die Young" by Kesha Sebert, Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald, Benjamin Levin, Nathaniel Ruess, & Henry "Cirkut" Walter; "Don't Stop the Music" by Tor Erik Hermansen, Mikkel S. Eriksen, Tawanna Dabney, & Michael Jackson

arranged by: The Sing-Off arrangers

air date: 11 December 2013

My favorite bits:

DeeDee's gorgeous solo riff to kick things off

Calle Sol getting to really show off their dance training

the wonderful juxtaposition of Street Corner Renaissance singing "Die Young"

Honey and VJ's duet front and center

and, of course, Honey getting the last word

Trivia:

Tony and Geoff were probably relieved not to be in the first section. They had already sung "Let's Get It Started" plenty of times in the Beetlejuice show at Universal Studios.

On the night this episode aired, VoicePlay were livetweeting from backstage at a gig. Those fellas have stamina.

The ending section of this medley was reworked and expanded to serve as the group closing number for the 2014 Sing-Off tour.

.

Theme reveal

youtube

Does Layne want chicken strips at the party for his daughters or himself?

.

Order of performances

Vocal Rush — "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" by C&C Music Factory

Home Free — "Life Is a Highway" by Tom Cochrane

VoicePlay — "Play That Funky Music" by Wild Cherry

Street Corner Renaissance — "Do You Love Me" by The Contours

Element — "Raise Your Glass" by P!nk

AcoUstiKats — "Hey Ya" by OutKast

Calle Sol — "Livin' La Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin

Ten — "Hot In Herre" by Nelly

The Filharmonic — "This Is How We Do It" by Montell Jordan

.

VoicePlay performance

youtube

[Here is another version with the intro package and judges' comments.]

This is VoicePlay doing what they do best on stage — not just singing, but entertaining. From the shiny suits to the intentionally goofy dance moves to the acting, they put on a full performance. Add in the surprise of Honey spitting bars on the second verse, and it's the perfect recipe to impress the audience and the judges.

Details:

title: Play That Funky Music

original performers: Wild Cherry

written by: Rob Parissi

arranged by: VoicePlay

air date: 11 December 2013

My favorite bits:

setting the tone with their Night at the Roxbury vibes

Tony's indignance at Honey walking away and making him stumble

the rhythm section getting to sing a lead duet for the last line of the first chorus

that smooth breakdown section

the harmonies on the descending ♫ "Pla-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay" ♫

Layne's final drum fill and cymbal crash as they all fall down

the other groups in the stage-side boxes giving them wild applause

Trivia:

When they performed this song during the Nashville show on the 2014 Sing-Off tour, Geoff accidentally kicked Earl in the head as they dropped to the stage at the end. (Luckily, he was fine.)

.

Judges' choice

.

Ultimate sing-off

AcoUstiKats vs. Calle Sol — "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" by Kelly Clarkson

Eliminated: Calle Sol

People keep going on about how bad United are, do they not understand we’ve apparently had 47 cases of illness and injury that have kept players out for games this season and only 3 players haven’t had injury and we are in 6th which I’d say is still respectable with the squad we are currently using which has no left back and no striker. If our players stayed fit we’d have done so much better. I think in the summer we should sell Maguire and lindelof and bring in 2 centre backs who can basically do what licha and varane can do, we need a left back too. We sell Casemiro, eriksen and buy a defensive midfielder and id keep Hannibal rather than buying another centre mid. And then last would be to sell sancho and Antony and bring in two wingers. There are probably others that need to be sold too but I’d rather do this first and then see where we are at next season before changing more, otherwise we’d be like Chelsea and have a completely new squad

Yeah you’re right it’s nuts how many players have been out, like you saw how better things got when luck and Luke were back it’s just a shame they’ve gone again

Please don’t go down the Chels route, we’ve proved it doesnt work

Season review: 2022/23

It was a solid season for Manchester United, finishing in third place and thus returning to the Champions League, as well as snagging the Carabao Cup in the process too.

Digging deeper though, how good was the season? How well did the players - and manager Erik Ten Hag - do in the grand scheme of things?

David De Gea - 7/10. The beleaguered keeper is a conundrum. He won the EPL Golden Glove for the most clean sheets and made some sensational saves, but the stats don't lie: 5 major errors in all competitions, a nearly non-existent cross claiming percentage, and a surprisingly lower than thought shot block percentage. The reality is that the now-departed Spaniard is a United great and should be respected and fondly remembered for the good times, but his time was most definitely up. Too weak in the air, with his feet, and with his distribution, the saving grace for De Gea was his Premier League accolade.

Heaton - N/A. Didn't play enough to really question his ability. A reliable backup if necessary.

Wan Bissaka - 7/10. Started the season off poorly and fell behind Diogo Dalot quickly, but bounced back later in the year. Seems much more confident in his understanding of team tactics and positioning, which has enhanced his attacking movement, but he still lacks in awareness and decision making.

Dalot - 7/10. Started the season off well and fell behind AWB later in the year. He's a much more rounded full back or wing back for the attack/defence duties, and links with Antony well, but he will need to find another level this season else risk being replaced next summer by the likes of Jeremie Frimpong.

Maguire - 5/10. He's strong in the air but hardly scores from set pieces with his height and strength. Defensively he's good when the team's back is against the wall, and he's a decent dribbler, but his distribution is so so and his lack of awareness is criminal. The man has seemingly no peripheral vision and it's a danger to the back line.

Lindelof - 7/10. A good end to the season saved Victor Lindelöf. His run of form in place of the injured Martinez showed his composure on the ball and passing range, but he still lacks the world class drive and vision that Lissandro offers, as well as the confidence in the air. Still, a good backup to have.

Varane - 7.5/10. The Rolls Royce of defenders oozes class, but his injury issues have been and continue to be an issue.

Martinez - 9/10. The Butcher. My player of the season. He's short, fiesty, and just an all round baller. Many argue we miss Casemiro more than him or Rashford when out, but I disagree. I think with Case in and LM out we're so much weaker at handling teams pressing us. So glad we got him and not Timber.

Malacia - 6/10. A decent season but nothing more from the Dutchman. He has the right physical attributes and personality to do well, so it's not game over at all, but Shaw is levels above him currently - though he has shown glimpses of the gem he could become.

Shaw - 7.5/10. Shaw is one of the best, if not THE best, Left Backs in the league. His positioning and awareness is far better when next to Martinez, and even Lindelof, and he provides on the offensive. He could have done a bit more on that front this season, but the world cup might have taken a bit of the wind out of his sails.

Sabitzer - 6/10. He was competent and professional, and looked promising at times, but injury hampered a loan spell and killed any potential showcase to secure a permanent move.

Van De Beek - N/A. Injury stricken.

Fred - 7/10. A good season for Fred, albeit marred by the occasional howler. This is why he's a backup CM, and why a sale to Fulham or whoever isn't that awful. Useful but flawed, but when he's good...

McTominay - 6/10. An uninspiring season from McSauce, dotted with a few good moments - especially early doors. I think he's being utilised wrongly, and perhaps better suits a Fellaini role as a physical CAM to either bully defenders or surprise people with his technical ability.

Casemiro - 8.5/10. If he could avoid getting suspended every 5 seconds he'd be at a 9 or higher. Keeps the team ticking, scored some crucial goals, and brings much needed composure.

Fernandes - 8/10. The creative maestro who, if he had a proper CF, would have similar stats to KDB. We must not waste his output, but equally he has to cut out a few of his stroppy moments too.

Eriksen - 7/10. Reliable, creative, but ageing. He's a health risk with his heart more than an injury risk, and his lack of pace or defensive involvement is an issue - and why Mount is such a good signing.

Sancho - 6.5/10. Some shining moments after his return from special the Netherlands training camp he went to but not much to write home about. It feels like something might be going on behind the scenes which, if true, is a shame, because he oozes skill. Sancho is incredibly talented and could really achieve great things at United.

Pellistri - 7/10. His appearances were few but when he played, he played. He was direct, loves to run at defenders, and he compensates for his small stature with agility and tenacity. He's wiley, and United have lacked that impetus on the RW with Antony still settling in and Sancho wobbly.

Garnacho - 8/10. Wonderkid. A little raw but he has pace, skill, vision, and bags of energy. He's direct but knows when to slow play down, and he can score a mean goal. More gametime next year for sure.

Elanga - 6.5/10. He needs a loan or to be sold. Plenty of talent but it feels like he needs a fresh start having burned out under Ole and not really rekindled that fire under ETH. Maybe preseason though...

Martial - 5/10. Made of glass. "Availability is the best kind of ability" say football coaches, but our would-be number 9 is never available and, when he is, it's not for long enough to find form. A class player, like a Saha Lite, but time's up on the Frenchman after a feeble year.

Weghorst - 5/10. Loved his cup goal and crying at Old Trafford but the man missed a million sitters. Good energy, decent loan, but ultimately poor.

Antony - 7/10. Like Lindelöf, he grew better as the season went on. He has the technique but is so predictable on his left foot. Robben was too, but he was so good with it that it didn't matter. Antony needs to get better on his left or use his right more. Either way, he stopped just slowing down play and cutting back in and actually started to push past players, perform 1v1s, and swing crosses in. His ball retention and pass accuracy are very high, which is incredibly reliable when trying to move in Rashford/Bruno/the CF for attacking opportunities, so if ETH can get more out of Antony... oh boy.

Rashford - 8/10. A naff end to the season stole half a point off this score. 30 goals in a season is incredible, and the first since RVP did it is not to be shirked at, but this 'mega season' was similarly matched by the 'past it' Mo Salah who also got 30 goals, and actually got 16 assists in all comps too - 5 more than Marcus. The point here isn't to diss MR, but show that he had a beautiful post-WC purple patch unmatched in any of the top leagues, but that patch fizzled out. With a CF like Harry Kane... his lack of goals might have been replaced with assists, who knows, but this is Ten Hag's challenge for next season: keep Rashford at this level at least, and have others help him shoulder the burden of getting United wins.

Erik Ten Hag - 8/10. Winning a first season trophy AND securing top four is a good start, and he's said it himself: it's good, but not enough. That attitude will do him well going forward, and if he can rebuild the squad in his image, to fit his tactical plans... perhaps we could see a title back at Old Trafford after far too long without one.

Season rating - 8/10. It got too close for comfort at the end, and there were some stinker performance in the mix - especially in April - but ultimately we got the job done, won a cup, and made another final, all despite no proper CF, Martinez and Eriksen injured for large periods, Casemiro suspended, and a goalkeeper who loves to hoof it to the opposition at any opportunity.

Roll on new signings and the new season. It should be a blast.
