Mainoo is seriously out of his depth, sadly. McTominay is also playing poorly, as is Malacia. Elanga totally non-existent

It's been more than decent TBFMaguire's passing has been decent
No mate he’s a waste of spaceI’m not watching the game but aren’t you all a bit harsh for Elanga he is playing a position he isn’t used to.
Passing it backwards constantly against a L1 team is his levelIs it any surprise really that Mcominay can't standout against a League 1 team?
alright Will McKenzieHow could calling someone a btec version of someone else be anything but an insult?
I remember saying something similar back when Robben broke throughAntony is too predictable. Unless he grows a right foot this will only end one way.
Now that you mention it, I forgot he was playing.How does Elanga still keep getting game time ahead of Pellestri, he must be a fabulous trainer.
Not really, he just isn't a natural 10.Mainoo is seriously out of his depth, sadly. McTominay is also playing poorly, as is Malacia. Elanga totally non-existent
Yes. He's been wank but that is in no way his positionI’m not watching the game but aren’t you all a bit harsh for Elanga he is playing a position he isn’t used to.
I think a lot of it is just confidence. He has huge talent, you can tell his technique is elite, but he is just choosing the wrong options when taking on his man (or just refusing to do it, or going for a nice dribble rather than a simple move). It's something I can see him growing out of pretty easily, but takes time.Anthony really is a bit shit and yet he somehow manages to score some lovely goals. But his all round general play is... questionable.
What would you have him do? Run Rashford into the ground? Or Martial - after saying he can't complete 90 minutes in such a hectic schedule? It's the only alternative.Is ETH playing Elanga up front to make a point to the board?
He's championship quality at best.
I don't think we are judging him on one game.I’m not watching the game but aren’t you all a bit harsh for Elanga he is playing a position he isn’t used to.
Looking like a basketballGenuinely can't think of anything Elanga is good at
Yeah, I agree.I know it's a very lazy comparison and only based on less than 45 mins but Mainoo reminds me of Pogba playing as a 10.
You can tell he's got the confidence by the way he moves so nonchalantly and his relaxed touches but he looks a bit positionally lost; he doesn't seem to be moving with and without the ball fast enough/with purpose.
He looks a talent but maybe needs to be a bit deeper to see more of the ball.
A very Antony goal. Lovely curler into the far corner.What was the goal like?
He is not good enough for a team who is seriously competing for the EPLPeople are too harsh on Elanga. He's trying. He's not a striker.
Robben was a much better with the ball through.I remember saying something similar back when Robben broke through
He's not good enough on wing either, won't be at United beyond summer imo.People are too harsh on Elanga. He's trying. He's not a striker.
See I was thinking he could do with a bit more confidence, as Pogba had. I knew Pogba could have an impact at 18 because he was super confident and wanted the ball a lot, wasn't afraid to try things.I know it's a very lazy comparison and only based on less than 45 mins but Mainoo reminds me of Pogba playing as a 10.

He hasn't been good but only Martinez (46 to his 45) has made more passes than McTominay. Not hiding, just not playing well.I can not stand McTominay, an absolute coward of a midfielder. Every time the centre halves get the ball, he actively hides. Will not step to the left or right to create an angle for a simple pass. Does not want to receive the ball off the back line. And when they do force a ball to him, his body positioning when receiving the ball is horrendous. How has he lasted this long at our club? Imagine if he had come through the ranks at Barca, Real, Bayern, City…..he have been sold ages ago. Hiding against Charlton, absolutely useless
Hopefully it turns similar and to be fair he’s only 22, but it’s a big concern at the moment.I remember saying something similar back when Robben broke through
Fred is fine. He keeps getting lumped in with McTominay even though he is light years ahead of him. It’s lazy.Mctom and Fred is the worst duo
Back to standing 5 yards away from each other so we can’t spread play
At one point mctom had to actually dribble around Fred
Quite good. Left footed curler to the far post. Unsaveable.What was the goal like?
