Van De Beek looked better as the game went on. Surprisingly, Eriksen looked the poorer of the two. Thank God for Casemiro.
yeah and martinez for Maguire toooTake VDB and Garnacho out. Put Martial and Fred in.
Bruno's workrate and hustle is really underratedWe miss Bruno both offensively and defensively. VDB is a nothing player.
James, VDB, Maguire, Ronaldo, AWB. Ole didn’t do great did he :/We can simply label him as an Ole signing. That would be cruel enough.
To everyone except the person that matters unfortunately.Ronaldo did very well In the build up to the goal but that’s all he’s done. VDB making good runs but is useless off the ball. Fred on for VDB and eriksen in the 10, it’s so obvious
I meant the goalsso the biggest praise you can give his performance is “well he was fine for 100 seconds”
Martial is coming back from injury. Who would you have had start? Garnacho - Rashford - Elanga?This half of football is on Ten Hag. He choose to start Ronaldo once again, he put Rashford on the right and started Dony.
Don't, Ronaldo and Eriksen they won't give you much fight and energy in midfield. Put some legs next to Eriksen, sub Ronaldo and put Rashford in a position where he could be impactful.
Agree with this. Ron hasn’t been the problem, but he’s not part of the solution. Get Tony on — assuming he really is fit — and we’ve got a chance at opening up Villa.Need to get Ronaldo off at half time, get Martial on and let him and Rashford play upfront close together.
People keep forgetting VaraneJames, VDB, Maguire, Ronaldo, AWB. Ole didn’t do great did he :/
Looking at the money spent, I think it has to be one of the worst signings ever.Needs selling, has to go down as one of our worst signings ever.
It's the caf way to fixate on a scapegoat. He's been fine , pretty much as good as eriksen.Was DVB that poor? I thought he played ok bar when in the box.
Fred for DVB and Martial for Ronaldo, he know's he has fecked up with the selection he will try and correct it for the 2nd half.Hate to break it to you but he's not taking off vdb or ronaldo.
The thing is we have no options when Antony is injured. Anyone we play there is shite. Elanga, Rashford, Sancho, Bruno all struggled.Another game Rashford is anonymous on the right wing. I really don’t know why we even bother trying it anymore.
You want to take Garnacho off ? After our 3 attackers performances that half, you'd choose Garnacho to come off ?Take VDB and Garnacho out. Put Martial and Fred in.
Yep. I've been saying all along he's still our best striker, but that was on the basis he scores those chances i don't think the others would, but he's not doing that.What's pissing me off wit Ronaldo isn't the pressing or the crosses, it's the fact that he keeps missing easy chances, and he was supposed to at least be able to convert those. He is a complete liability if he can't score those anymore.
I don’t really understand why he sees Eriksen as a midfielder in a two. He isn’t a good ball carrier, he’s not a particular physical presence to screen, and his passing range is far more suited to the final third. It’s very strange.Eriksen would create so many chances against this lot if played as a number 10.
Definition of insanity. The problem is that our main RW is injured and our back-up RW is injured/shite.Another game Rashford is anonymous on the right wing. I really don’t know why we even bother trying it anymore.
Martial on at halftime. Risky considering he's made of cheesestring but needed.
Seen penalties given for really innocuous stuff this season.Handball, but never a penalty
Fighting for every blade of grass. Spreading play with one and two touches. Aerial threat in the box. Popping up on the wing and sticking in crosses with the outside of the boot.That goal was so important. Casemiro is a wonderful player btw. Closest to Keano since he left. He’s fired up today.
He's not good but people are looking for scapegoats.Was DVB that poor? I thought he played ok bar when in the box.
Anthony Taylor
