'We only wanted to sign a specific quality of player for midfield. We're all in on De Jong who doesnt want to join'
*Brighton's midfield of Lallana, Macallister and Caicedo proceed to stand out and impress more than our starting midfield*
What do you call doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? McTom and Fred have been the midfield pair as the last 2 managers were got rid of. Do something different
Before anyone says anything I dont think De Jong would have done anything differently defensively today. We'd still have conceded 2. Probably better going forward though, perhaps we would have got a point with a 2-2 or if Rashford and Bruno finished their chances could have come away with 3. But thats kinda still the case without him.
