I don’t hate the Jackson links, for everything that Umir mentioned in the video. He’s good at dropping in, making it stick + running channels (build up solution), brings the 10s into play & leads transitions (goal scoring solution) and presses well (out of possession solution).
“United have signed the two biggest XG over-performers in the league!” 🔥 Could Nicolas Jackson actually be the perfect player to compliment Mbeumo & Cunha? 🤔
No pay offer. Bottle neck still in place. No real training environment. No thanks - I’ll stick with BMA.
Keir Starmer: Resident doctors should break ranks with the BMA leadership. The industrial action that starts on Friday is in no one’s interests and medics should not follow their union down its dangerous and destructive route, he says. thetimes.com/article/3fdcd5…
Genuinely I’m looking at responses to genuine Amorim criticism on TL and why is it that he cannot be criticised?
Feels so much more common now than before. Also it’s more a Twitter thing than anywhere else. YouTube comments are beautiful in comparison.
Genuinely a bit tiring having every tweet swamped with intense negativity. Post something nice about a new signing and its just loads of people replying moaning. Do people not get tired of being fed up all the time? 🤷♂️

Marcus Rashford's dream was to stay at Man United forever ❤️
Empty words cannot hide the truth: your government is complicit in genocide. We are an unstoppable movement for peace, for justice and for Palestine — and we are never, ever going away.
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
A rival fans knows more about what United means but not the kids here.
Are Man United losing what makes them ‘Man United’?
Conte, KDB, Mctominay & Sterling all in one team, Umir is going to take his analysis to Italy
🚨 JUST IN: Napoli have been offered the chance to sign Sterling and have asked for deal conditions. (@FabrizioRomano) #CFC
These two have created the most palatable analytical content out of anyone I’ve seen on Twitter

Probably the piece that best outlines the dilemma Xabi is facing at Madrid and it's from 2 years ago lol. I read it and disagreed with it at the time Umir wrote it. Watching Mbappe every week though so much of this rings true now.
A case for the ‘less complete’ and why the future of football suits Haaland most on footballing completeness, the Haaland and Mbappe debates and why the Norwegian is the perfect player for modern football given the changing tactical landscape: umirf1.wordpress.com/a-case-for-the…
Also while we're here, Raheem Sterling in the few months of 23/24 was one of the three~ best wingers itl Hasn't worked out here but he had his moments
Everyone’s saying the timing on Isak announcing his intentions is weird but he would have pushed earlier to leave if it was necessary. Logically, all I’m getting from this is that the Ekitike deal has no impact on Liverpool potentially getting Isak if that’s Isak’s main choice.
This is getting me mad because it actually works in theory, tactically.
Alternatively, Ekitike could be the inside left player rotating with Isak, no LW signing. I could see it being possible in a terrible world for non-Liverpool fans.

Imagine they get Isak and Ekitike hahahahahahahaha imagine hahahahaha
