Brought back some warm memories to this old man mentioning these REAL footballers

[@Danny-iv5uu]

Bruno is a good captain.What everyone sees on the field is one thing,it’s the fact every player when asked cites Bruno as the funniest,most disciplined supporting player speaks volumes.He speaks several languages so can talk to all players in their native tongue.This is all not including his stats of goals and assists, his work rate and robustness. Utd don’t have anyone that has all that.anyone moaning about Bruno’s arm waving and petulance was too young to see cr7,Keane,Beckham, schmeichal who all were non stop moaners

[@jamesatkinson7691]

You missed out the biggest moaner of all: Gary Neville.

[@HawkwindAus]

I grew up in the 60s and there are players from that era who would dominate any team in the modern era - players like Pele and Beckenbauer, the United trio of Charlton, Best and Law. Johan Cruyff from the late 60s and Puskas from the early 60s. Garrincha and Eusebio. The things they could do with the old style leather ball, they would be unplayable with the modern balls.

[@Scottuz]

Italia Serie A, Gazzetta on CH4 on Sundays was compulsive viewing in the 90s, to watch that Sampdoria team with Gullit Lombardo, Mancini, David Platt, was amazing, and brought some players to our TVs we didn't get to see wk in wk out we saw a whole world of Strikers, some of those Teams were special to watch with groups of great players doing mad sh1t

[@gamerbeans7445]

In the 90s sampdoria was shit. Juve, AC and inter were the teams to watch on ch4

[@Scottuz]

@@gamerbeans7445 that's your opinion numpty, you didn't watch from the beginning then? otherwise you'd know the teams that were at the top before that era? like Parma, Samp, Atalanta, Fiorentina??✊🏼💦

[@antonybaker8752]

Talk about nostalgia. Back when I'd play FIFA 98 road to world cup religiously I'd always be united and I would always buy Ronaldo, Batistuta and kluivert. Every other position I'd mix it up.

[@robsop]

Same!!! Still my favourite fifa of all time. My United teams were brutal.

[@quarantinefox]

As a kid I saw Italian games more often than United games despite being a bus ride from OT. Couldn't afford the 37p for the bus but could watch channel 4.

[@joe8597]

R9 is still my favourite player of all time, the feeling I got watching him as a kid was incredible

[@ReinhartRY]

Gabriel Batistuta, Davor Suker, Raul Gonzalez, Van Basten, Pippo Inzaghi best striker of the old football

[@ashhughes3309]

Van Basten for me. He finished at 28 don’t forget, that Milan team my favourite non Utd side

[@shawboy8208]

I remember the 96/97 Middlesbrough side with Junihno. Emerson and Ravenelli. Ravenelli scored 31 goals in all comps that season and Junihno had flare.

[@marcusmorris960]

Reminiscing about years gone by ❤ best video in ages. I don't even know what is going on with Wilcox 😂. I was born in 92 but the 08 squad was the pinnacle of my United fandom. I can't properly remember 99 or anything before.

[@zicozanetti4964]

When United got a free kick in the 90's with beckham behind it was like having a pen ,av a wee look back a the 1 against villa where he bends it in opposite corner , phooooking class

[@mrsingh2002]

Alvaro Recoba would be £140m in today's market

[@anthony1234dunne1]

Adriano was amazing

[@matth8145]

On pro evo

[@jerrykelleher9017]

Teddy Sheringham. Real all round striker, could drop off like a 10 - but could also lead the line. Good in the air

[@cduggan1988]

Go back to the late 90s early 2000s almost every top club in europe had at least 1 world class striker which I don't think you say now.

[@RedDevilDog1207]

Partially agree, and some is in due to expectations are higher so even a seemingly avg striker now who would be better just arent played through as often, and new tactics and systems have made the midfield even more critical. Ollie Watkins would look world class 25 years ago the way he is performing.

[@Montana909]

Gennaro Gattuso Was incredible, great video Ste 👍

[@MrJustsaysean]

He was incredible....until he met Joe Jordan

[@MrJustsaysean]

I think the maverick type players are a dying breed. Individual expression has been coached out of players in favour of fitting into a system.

[@lefthandlee]

Its a dead breed died years ago

[@MrJustsaysean]

@lefthandlee yeah very few left. Jack grealish is the nearest to one I can think of in pl. I'm not sure he fits onto peps plans long term as pep has instilled a robotic style in city's pattern of play.

[@scottsinner7530]

@@MrJustsaysean Grealish?? All he does is take a quick step and draw a foul. Every. Single. Time.

[@MrJustsaysean]

@scottsinner7530 more flamboyant at villa

[@buffywhatever1093]

Hazard was one of the last mavericks

[@joe8597]

This talk has got me missing them days, more world class player's back then than today aswel, only handful today with a atleast 20 back then which is odd when the term world class is thrown about all over the place these days, back then you had to be world class to be called it

[@keithstitt9532]

Good points about academy football. Club's producing standardized players but the ones who rise to the top have key competency in their position. The lack of strikers is clearly down to club's inability to focus on this key position. Italian clubs years ago were mint at it. Batigol & iniesta were some players.

[@ourcrazyjourney1694]

I bloody love being utd.

[@garethtaylor7437]

stoichkov was unreal.

[@neilharrison01]

Hi Ste, Totally agree wrt to all players looking alike today. In some sense this could be construed as a 'Johan Cruyff total football' model, where any player can play anywhere. Man City are the nearest embodiment of this IMO, where many of them seem like a set of doppelganger tiki tak midfielders. I don't enjoy watching their side-side crab football though, even though it is clearly effective most of the time in grinding opponents down.

[@Sprt1337]

YOU FORGOT RIQUELME

[@themikepage23]

I agree with the point about players today compared to 10-20 years a go. Football has "been worked out" so to speak, and being able to press non-stop for 90 minutes is more important than being an incredible footballer. The skill floor has gone up and the average player has gotten better, but we're really missing out on those stand out players who being their own thing to football - the skill ceiling has reduced. Could be down to the more rigid tactics in play now-a-days, or the players just don't have that individualism to them anymore. You could go back and list loads of players who brought a special something to the team by way of their playing style, even in the middle to bottom table teams. Not so much anymore.

[@leonarmorer7386]

Dwight Yorke is from my country!

[@rring2589]

George Weah was top talent

[@michaeledge6430]

Berbatov maybe close to Cantona, only one I can think off but again very different styles

[@mikeey1988]

Loved football Italia! Gooooooooooolazoooooooooo!

[@StevenA76]

Late to the party but i loved George Weah at Milan

[@davidjohnson5369]

Gabriel Batistuta was for me top 3 ever strikers

[@pawal_1999]

The player who reminds me of cantona ... Hear me out , was yaya you're . Different starting positions, but City used to put dejong on & send toure on the rampage later in games . Both big men with great skills who if you allowed them space to run , were like trains . You couldn't stop them . Topfootballers

[@cybermanne]

I remember when Maradona played for Napoli, and every week on the sports they showed the highlights of the Italian games. He was getting murdered by the defenders who were twofooting him and doing allsorts to try and keep him quiet. And they got away with it, by the laws of that time. But they sure didn't keep him quiet. He was still able to get away from the defenders and edfensive midfielders enough times to win the scudetto. Imagine what would be able to do today when he would get a free kick on the edge of the box every time he got the ball?

[@memonm786]

Ask him why Casemiro who has been playing DM for most of his life and one of the best screeners ever since Makelele is now marauding forward and not covering at all.

[@farailmuratu756]

Not a lot variety in football. Spot on.

[@RedDevilDog1207]

Steve feeling bit Nostalgic today..some of these guys that seem avg today (as noted playing 1v2) would be looked at as legends through glassy eyes had they played back 25 years ago in 1v1s all game. Likewise some of those guys I am not convinced would have been considered on the same level they are now. One thing not considered is the competition, athletic ability, and tactics when comparing. The gaps and time to play by comparison then is miles apart. Press and zonal defense tactics has changed a lot of the game.

[@gazb0075]

Growing up I used to love watching Raul Gonzalez.

[@douglaswilson762]

Steve do you think some young players currently on loan may get a chance if there is a clear out of first team squad members. I'm thinking of Fernández the left back.

[@antonybaker8752]

Imagine R9 against today's defenders. It would be a bloodbath. He was against the likes of Nestas and Maldini's

[@AnthonyMunyi]

I really was quite keen on hearing the Wilcox news though 😂😂😂

[@christosjoseph7409]

Is Bruno close to Cantona 😂😂😂 omg I can go to sleep knowing I had a good laugh

[@RuneFToftlund]

Christian Vieri was great to watch.

[@tomphillips2334]

Agree about football regressing. Take out your City and Reals and it's quite competitive amongst the rest but there are so few world class players these days. Go back to 15-25 years ago and most international teams had at least one world class player. Now there are so few.

[@craighoward1940]

The things you said about scholes or gazza not getting a chance in modern football, could that be why Amad is not getting a start?

[@alanpitkeathly6752]

Loved football Italia on a Sunday so much has changed, not for the better though

[@previnsnaidu1]

Ste, do you think the lack of specialized players might just be the natural progression of sports? The same thing has happened in basketball with players becoming positionless, same with baseball when it comes to utility players and pitchers having less defined roles, same with American football with having hybrid players. I think it’s a trend across sports that should be studied

[@jerrykelleher9017]

Stairmaster is definitely great for the inclines! 💪

[@grahamdoonan869]

ya the standard of footballer has changed its all about the coach and style of play i think players are over coached this days.its like they dont want stars jus robots. thers a serious lack of proper strikers and central defenders. u put any top striker from years ago against these defenders they ball goals.

[@johnmitchell2269]

It's all well and good putting 15 players on the transfer list, but if no clubs come in for them then what? Or, if some clubs do come in for the transfer listed players, but offer low bids well under the players valuation, then what?

[@michaeledge6430]

Italy in the 90s my socks

[@marktynan9870]

Never see goals like le tissier use to score every week anymore 90s was peek football

[@itmatterednot]

So refreshing to actually talk the truth about the state of modern football. Sports science and the Pep philosophy predominate now but this makes for a far more stale product imo. Pisses me off seeing players unable or unwilling to cross a ball from time to time or to pass about the area without having the balls to actually shoot.

[@harveysmith100]

Keep the faith lads. Erik is the right man, he just needs the right players and them to stay fit. Don't believe me, ask yourself this question, how many players in the current squad would have even made the bench for Sir Alex?

@@Draper99 ETH wasn't 100% the wrong man at Ajax so what has changed? As for the reference, how about how many current United players would make it into City's team? Is that relevant?

[@harveysmith100]

@@jarvis911 Correct. Everyone wants to get rid of him without even thinking about who could do a better job. We are currently playing a centre back that was for sale 9 months ago and and a midfielder in defence. People forget the youth players he has brought through, same as he did at Ajax

[@riadrahamatullah7197]

Happy Anniversary Stephen to you and the Mrs...

[@Mr_Tee_Cee]

even West Ham had Paulo DiCanio

[@NinpoUK]

Bruno reminds me a lot of Cantona tbh Ste and I used to wonder with my mates if Bruno would be Ole's Cantona. I think the main difference is Cantona always looked flawless, where Bruno will always try something. Cantona had a better eye for when something wasn't on so he made few mistakes but his output would go up and down each match. Bruno is a little less refined but is still the one trying to knit things together. Imagine Bruno knitting Keane/Ince/Hughes or Cole together. Unf. Cantona two foots someone while Bruno has a huge whinge. I agree with Cantona's hold up play being better mind. He'd easily take and lay off a ball into him where Bruno needs a look.

[@RT-far-T]

On what planet does someone as rank average as Wilcox get a job like this!? A lot of people here obviously didn't see Ferguson's first few years, or Klopp's, or Arteta's, or even Pep's first 2. There are United players in this squad who are on their SIXTH manager (Rashford), 5th (Mctominay), 4th (Bruno, Lindelof, Maguire)....all these players have been failures for up to a decade! Despite this, Ten Hag in his second season has got 3rd and CL qualification, silverware (Carabao Cup), 2 FA Cup finals, is the quickest ever United manager to 50 PL wins, and has the highest ever United manager win ratio...but people think he's the problem!? Ralph Rangnick told us all that "Open Heart Surgery" was needed, and suggested that 13-14 players needed changing. Jose has said that there are still players there that he wanted to get rid of. Ole has intimated about the problems he had with the squad...yet still people think the position today is Ten Hag's fault. As long as managers are forced to play with the failed players of past managers, this club will continue to fall behind. Rashford, Bruno, Shaw, Maguire, Mctominay, Dalot, Lindelof, Martial, Bissaka.....ALL have to be shown the exit so that a proper culture and style can be built with players who have intelligence and a strong mentality. Even Garnacho has started taking on board the toxic nature of these players! He gets substituted after spending 70 mins running up blind alleys ,then scuttles off the social media to "like" posts criticizing his substitution. No Arsenal, Liverpool, or 115 player would feel entitled enough to do that. Ten Hag, and some of the young players (Mainoo, Kambwala, and Garnacho when he's not being immature) are the only bright spots.
