Rasmus Højlund: No Way As Way

You want tactics United fans? Get Højlund the ball, that’s the bulk of what we need to do. 😂 We don’t even have to put it on a platter for him; that’s why I wanted him. Carragher was asking the other day what his trick is…he doesn’t have one, that’s why he so dangerous. You don’t know when he’ll shoot or how he’ll shoot, but you probably aren’t stopping him once he shoots. All you have to do is get him the ball and he’ll do the rest. Ruud Van Nistlerooy was very similar, and like Ruud, he’s also got the mind to link up with his teammates which is exactly what Ten Hag’s system requires.

We finished third last season because Weghorst fit the system and the team thrived on it even though he personally didn’t. He still started regularly because Ten Hag ball is TEAM ball; that’s why one player alone isn’t the answer. Now imagine what happens when you put a true finisher in the same position putting in the same selfless effort. You create shooting opportunities all over the place because he’s not always going to be shooting so you don’t know who to mark. Weghorst had plenty of opportunities and didn’t finish them but Rashford did, that’s why he was so prolific. When we got away from that and reverted back to Moments FC our offensive creation suffered.

If we get fit and keep building on this foundation, we’re going to start having a lot of fun. People get confused when Ten Hag talks about us being the most creative and exciting team but I believe he’s speaking the future into existence, which is something many successful people do. He knows what he wants to build, and he knows what he’s capable of building. He knows the advantage of being at United is that he won’t have to constantly deal with other clubs destroying what he builds by taking his players. This is his dream job, and we just have to support him as he builds his dream. He doesn’t just want to win here, he wants to repeat again and again and we’re finally building the structure around him to do it.

So just be patient, it’s coming. I wasn’t surprised by Aston Villa’s success this season because they have 5 players that were on my radar in their squad and they just needed the right manager to put it together. United has the manager, now we just need the players. 🧐

Welcome to My Parent's House 15th Anniversary Concert

MASSIVE SPOILER for one of the endings.

it's been a while since i tried looking, but i did hear that something like this happens last year and over time started to think, "was it a fluke?" bc no one posted footage or caps of it then, and i aimed for a completionist run in my first playthrough. turns out it's real! and definitely shines a new light on a character that, for most other types of playthroughs, will not give this much emotion! EDIT: transcript now included, and some stillshots under the cut

[0:28] Marie: Henry, this is the man who kept you from doing the right thing tonight. Kill him. [0:15] Forrest: Henry, you don’t have to do this. If you’ve not killed anyone yet, there’s still time to make the right decision. [0:05] Out of shot: (Gunshots) Henderson Police! Freeze! Marie: No! Henry, get out of there!

not pitting sincaraz against each other just pointing out an objective truth that jannik was not a dominate player/potential grand slam winner last season (age 21/22) and carlos will finish this season semi-dominant and with two more grand slams (+ an olympic medal) (age 20/21). you can see how quickly a player's career can turn around within one season. so any talk about carlos being washed/playing badly sounds silly to me i can't lie. yes carlos wasn't as successful this year as last year. yes carlos wasn't as successful this year as jannik. last year jannik's highlights were throwing up in a trash can and beating djoko in davis cup (exaggerating.) so i really feel like carlos's struggles this season are slightly overinflated. we talk about "he has time he has time" let's be clear not only does he have time in his career (he is literally 21) he also has time on his closest current rival (age-wise, carlos's 2024 season is jannik's 2022 season). it will be two years before carlos is even the same age as jannik is now. so like. lets be chill here u know.

i’m not being funny when i tell people who say sonny’s ‘too soft’ to be captain and that he’s half the player without kane and that other players deserve the captaincy more than him to get the fuck out of my club and the fanbase like honestly fuck off

[seedlessmuffins]

vini deserves so much better. nobody deserves racial abuse at all, and it is disappointing to continually see this same story playing out across club football time and time again. it is so disappointing that not only was he the recipient of racist words but he was carded and felt the need to apologize on social media. the fact that he got consequences for enduring abuse is such a joke.

additionally important, though, is every single black man in laliga (including vini) who have, will have, or are going through the same or similar racist violence from fans, players, staff, and referees. the entire league needs to do better at protecting players from this abuse, because nobody deserves this.

my heart goes out to vini, truly, i hope he is doing ok. he deserves so so much better. they all do.

you have to forgive me for posting mostly abt characters that are men (in canon) as a bisexual woman. i am obsessed w lots of #girl characters but like 80% of them are kids and teens or if theyre grown theyre comic relief. and my brain feeds off two things: tragedy and horniness. so posting about jevil and hob it is.

Yeah I agree, I don’t think trading any big players is smart. They are a good team, especially in the regular season. They are just missing something in playoffs. It sucks they haven’t found the answer, but I’m sure they will 😃

i mostly think the leafs org problem is that they buy into the whole 'grit is the most important' factor in the playoffs.. and for two years now, they've been extra gritty.. out hit opponents.. and still fallen short where it counts. i think something about the style of play just doesn't match the actual assets we have in our highly skilled offensive players, and i think it doesn't help that we have a lot of dmen who can't skate well or move pucks and create offense to save their lives. like yes, not getting pushed around is important and space disappears in the playoffs, but sometimes those are problems you can outskate? if you lean into the rush game... getting faster.... idk. panthers series last year and now this one are just proof that we need more goal scoring than anything else under the current approach. to me, it's not that someone like mitch just 'disappears,' it's that the way this team is being taught to handle the game isn't letting him thrive. we've only seen 2 coaches with all this talent so far, so i'd be curious to see a fresh look, but i don't by any means hate sheldon or think he's done a bad job. something about it just hasnt translated to the playoffs, and it's tough to see glimpses of fun hockey that we see more often in the regular season under the mess of tight and gritty playoff games. i don't buy that it HAS to be that way... i watch teams like the oilers and stars and vegas and like. they're fast and efficient and opportunistic, lol. better than us but we HAVE the talent to be like that.
