Fred can't score even if the goal is empty, McTomminay & Casemiro will be the norm hopefully !
A shot doesn’t have to be on target to be threatening. You can feck up easy chances with wild finishes and still be threatening.We had 2 shots on target all game.
We aren't good enough. City, Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal will be more consistent, and Liverpool will improve. We will drop silly points all over the place.Why is the bar so low? I don't want ETH sacked, but top 4 is up for grabs, we spent a lot more, we should expect more.
Eriksen, Varane, Shaw, Sancho, all got to rest and we needed to make sure we won that one anyway.Get ready for worse to come.
It was absolutely criminal on EtH's part not to rest the squad on Thursday with the week we have ahead.
He showed both insecurity and short sightedness with that decision.
Doesn't matter, we should expect more from this team and manager. Spurs are playing poor but getting results, it won't last but we won't be there to take an advantage because there is zero belief from this team and manager.We aren't good enough.

we just lacked the drive to run that extra yard to find the opporunity to score until the last 10 minutes, it's like this most of the games.I think some people just log onto the Caf searching and looking for every opportunities to write tired drivel. Anyone claiming we were unthreatening and dull need to give their head a wobble.
This! It’s like we don’t play for 70 mins. This team wouldn’t even think they could score in the first 5 mins. That’s just for knocking the ball around.I’m sick to death of us putting together any meaningful football when we’ve barely got any of the game left.
Such a shite mentality.
You're just gonna continue with overreacting?I don't think it's too early to question what exactly it is Ten Hag does in training.
Disagree. We lacked cutting edge and some inspiration in the final third and the passing was a little pedestrian but I'm not sure what was cowardly about it. On balance, I think nicking a one nil would have been fair.Maybe it looked better on TV but I can assure you that was a cowardly performance from our lot today.
YawnI think we can all agree.... Ronaldo would have scored that
Over before it startedTop 4 over
He was ill.Caught the second half. Why didn’t Eriksen play?
I agree. It seems to be one step forward and two steps back just now: it's hard work. We can only hope ETH gets the team playing as he wants in the coming months, and we start to see the fruits of that.Doesn't matter, we should expect more from this team and manager. Spurs are playing poor but getting results, it won't last but we won't be there to take an advantage because there is zero belief from this team and manager.
Yeah, that’s a fair assessment. We have looked much better in the limited Minutes Martial has had. We really do need a striker.You can see the imprint of ETH's style on the team in that second half with the way we moved the ball and worked our positions between the lines from back to front.
What's the clear issue for this team to me is that we lacked quality in key positions, and decision making in the final third.
We didn't create enough chances, but bar that chance for Joelinton, Newcastle didn't create anything and we dominated them in the second half.
Fred, Bruno and Ronaldo were especially poor I thought. Rashford was very good when he came on, but that miss at the end effectively shuts him down as ever being the No.9 for this club. It's LW or bench for me.
Good pundits. Makes a bloody change from the clowns we have over here.Danish pundits criticize referee and VAR. They believe that Ronaldo's goal should count and it is a clear refereeing error. They also do not understand that Sancho did not get a penalty kick.
cause everyone else wasnt fitShit match. Worse ref. No idea why Ronaldo started.
Might need a trip to Specsavers mate, if you can't see the complete difference in patterns of play compared to last season.I don't think it's too early to question what exactly it is Ten Hag does in training.
He's illCaught the second half. Why didn’t Eriksen play?
Top 4 over
Pretty sure we’d be 2-0 down while creating nothing and being overran since that’s exactly how this team has played over the last 18 months.I don't think it's too early to question what exactly it is Ten Hag does in training.
What an idiot of a postThat was an absolutely abysmal performance. Again. Honestly, I watch Championship teams play better than the dull football we play. Seriously thinking if it's worth coming down to watch this shite anymore.
You can't go on from the last season to win convincingly every game this season over night. We're a work in progress.This game is the exact reason I wasn't happy with the performances against Southampton, Leicester, Everton while so many on here were pretending we played well. You need to be winning games convincingly to be reliably putting winning runs together. If you're constantly scraping close results then you're going to inevitably drop points in games like this.
So many brainless players, poor passes and poor decisions.
Varane was just back from injury and not risked.Eriksen, Varane, Shaw, Sancho, all got to rest and we needed to make sure we won that one anyway.
And another oneI don't think it's too early to question what exactly it is Ten Hag does in training.
I’d say the general play and defending has taken massive steps forward. We forgot how to play football last season.Take Erikson out of this team and we are back to last season all over again. No final ball today. They were making the runs, but nobody had the ability to find them.
Ok thanks must be the case then.cause everyone else wasnt fit
On paper we shouldn't be anywhere near top-4.We ain't getting top 4 due to results like this.
Of course, it isn't over in October, but it will be come the end of the season. We won't make it.
