Manchester United flops XI

Inspired by a Stretford Paddock video. Here's mine.

  1. Massimo Taibi
  2. Matteo Darmian
  3. Fabio da Silva
  4. Phil Jones
  5. Fred
  6. Paul Pogba
  7. Angel Di Maria
  8. Memphis Depay
  9. Radamel Falcao
  10. Alexis Sanchez
  11. Anthony Martial
Flops should be defined as the gulf between expectations and performance. So some worse players were excluded because expectations of them were low.

Darmian is the player in this XI with the least expectations, but he made it on the merit of how bad he ended up.

Pogba is the player in this XI with the most good performances, but for that reputation and that price, he still fell woefully short.

The final spot was a toss-up between Memphis and Marcos Rojo. I did not want to include Memphis because he wasn't very bad and he was asked to do a lot, but all things equal, Rojo definitely didn't have the expectations that came with Memphis.

好人做了一辈子的好事,做了一件坏事就叫原形毕露。
坏人做了一辈子坏事,最后做了一件好事却叫浪子回头。

好人成佛需要九九八十一难。
坏人只需要放下屠刀,就能立地成佛。

色难

子夏问孝,子曰:色难,有事,弟子服其劳,有酒食,先生馔,曾是以为孝乎?

色难,容易
