[DON’T PANIC ™]

My faith in Ten Hag is getting shaken. His faith in Weghorst and the £87m for Antony is baffling. And it costs us.

Utd don’t have a better option than Anthony on the right but Weghorst starting is upsetting.

 

[The Firestarter]

Our best team apart from Varane and Martinez imo.

 

[sixdwarf]

When are people going to learn Weghorst is shit in the air, as he is in pretty much every other football aspect?

We better win today because this is squarely on the EtH if we have to play with 10 men from the start.

He doesn't even jump. Sorry Weghorst shouldn't be near our squad let alone first 11. It is unfathomable that a player who has shown so little as a forward keeps getting picked.

 

[United Hobbit]

arent West Ham tall and that?Could be for his height and strengh

Because he’s tall, I’d of started Scotty over him

That would be a plus, if he could actually head the damn ball

 

[Jev]

Can't believe we're back to Wout starting, thought ETH had wised up.

 

[UDontMessWith24]

What’s ETH thinking?! Yes, Martial played on Thursday but that’s what the in-game editor is for just go in and press clear all injuries. Clearly the manager is out of his depth.

 

[Man-United]

Wout or Sancho? No big deal as both are poor.

 

[TMDaines]

All West Ham players have miraculoulsly recovered for this match. Who would have thought.

Considering they had a stomach bug that was entirely expected.

Costs us what, we are top 4 and won the cup and in the fa cup final with that. His decisions have paid off, one way or another.

87m for Antony is overspend yes but he is a good player with big potential and we are better with him than without him. He's not a director of football, he's a coach. Judging him on what we spend is weird.

Antony has been getting better in the past few months and is probably a better RW option than Sancho right now so it isn't too surprising.

His continued use of Weghorst is strange though. I guess it shows the lack of depth upfront that we only have Wout and an injury prone and sometimes lazy Martial.

Would prefer if we went for Sabitzer as a false 9 though to be honest.

 

[JustinC00]

I suppose ETH has seen enough of Martial's pressing and goal scoring prowess

He's been pretty adamant Martial needs to be managed. He just played almost 90 minutes on Thursday.

 

[Siorac]

Won't surprise me if ETH wants to sign Weghorst for next season

There would be absolutely no excuse for doing so. If he wants to sign him, the club should block the transfer.

But I do hope that Ten Hag has more sense than this.

 

[sincher]

Our best team apart from Varane and Martinez imo.

Well perhaps in the circumstances but Martial is not fit. If he were, he is a much better option than Weghorst. Same for Garnacho, with Rashford moving across.

 

[UDontMessWith24]

Because he’s tall, I’d of started Scotty over him

Unavailable

 

[Ahmer Baig]

WW starting, we are screwed.

 

[delerium]

Garnacho to come rescue us from the bench, Rashford to go up top. Expect for awful first 60 minutes until the subs.

 

[United Hobbit]

Exactly, he brings no useful qualities so we effectively play with 10 men, I'd stick Sabitzer there although that bench is woeful

If he signs him permanently, which his obsession with him is making me think he will, god help us...

 

[Raoul]

He's been pretty adamant Martial needs to be managed. He just played almost 90 minutes on Thursday.

If managing his lack of goal scoring by benching him is what he meant, then I'm all for it. Weghorst, despite not being a goal threat, creates far more pressing and disruption in the final third, which is what allowed the likes of Rashford to go on his post WC goal scoring run.

 

[Jack-C20]

Delighted Garnacho is back as well. Felt like he was a constant threat. Great to have back.

 

[bosnian_red]

Weghorst, Sancho or Martial... He started Sancho vs Spurs and villa, martial vs Brighton twice, Weghorst now. It's neither here nor there. Sancho mentally is better at Old Trafford, don't trust him away to West Ham. Martial probably physically can't handle playing again, not that he's any good while playing anyway.

I'm sure Ten Hag is just hoping he can replace all 3 in the summer.

 

[2 man midfield]

Well perhaps in the circumstances but Martial is not fit. If he were, he is a much better option than Weghorst. Same for Garnacho, with Rashford moving across.

I’d agree with that tbh. But martial has had enough chances now.

Are you not aware United played a match on Thursday or do you think their fitness just regenerates like FIFA?

 

[Castia]

He's been pretty adamant Martial needs to be managed. He just played almost 90 minutes on Thursday.

Managed in the u21’s maybe

He’s fecking useless and would no doubt be starting today if he can actually contribute to the team

 

[always_hoping]

Well Shaw would be replacing malacia if Martinez was fit wouldn’t he. But I’m sick of watching martial do bugger all so yeah, I’d have Weghorst in there. If my striker isn’t going to score I’d at least like him to run.

Dalot is a better option than Malacia. If it's just about running I'd play an extra midfield than Weghorst and play Rashford in the number 9 position

 

[sixdwarf]

Utd don’t have a better option than Anthony on the right but Weghorst starting is upsetting.

I wasn't suggesting Antony shouldn't be there. It is the cost. He isn't anywhere near an £87m player and was a symptom of our lack of recruitment planning. Look at Mitoma. £2.7m. Who is the better player? The problem is that our ability to fail to find value in the market hurts us because there is limited spend now due to FFP.

 

[hobbers]

Malacia and Weghorst away at West Ham.... the feck is Erik thinking

Well, picking Weghorst to start anywhere in any situation is obviously terrible management.

 

[Amar__]

Well Shaw would be replacing malacia if Martinez was fit wouldn’t he. But I’m sick of watching martial do bugger all so yeah, I’d have Weghorst in there. If my striker isn’t going to score I’d at least like him to run.

Weghorst can't run, he just looks like he is running, but his running pace is slower than average premierleague player walking pace.

 

[HookedOnAPhelan]

The alternatives are Sancho and Martial, who are both lazy cowards. At least Wout isn't that, even if he's shit.

 

[McGrathsipan]

Weghorst being the best of a bad set of options is some indictment of recruitment

 

[sixdwarf]

Dalot is a better option than Malacia. If it's just about running I'd play an extra midfield than Weghorst and play Rashford in the number 9 position

Malacia's form is poor. Another curious decision

 

[2 man midfield]

Dalot is a better option than Malacia. If it's just about running I'd play an extra midfield than Weghorst and play Rashford in the number 9 position

Hmm, not sure. Malacia has been really solid apart from that error against Sevilla. I’d rather see him there than play Dalot out of position anyway.

Weghorst will score today, mark my words

 

[Abraxas]

Are you not aware United played a match on Thursday or do you think their fitness just regenerates like FIFA?

It's not the only option, is it? Rashford can play up front.

 

[The United]

I was feeling good with this game until I saw Wout start. Well who knows, he might score a brace for us to win!

 

[2 man midfield]

Weghorst can't run, he just looks like he is running, but his running pace is slower than average premierleague player walking pace.

Yeah his pace is a bit tragic

 

[NoPace]

Ten Hag has given up on Martial and Sancho I think

My vague feeling is that he rates Martial but not his durability, but will want to sell Sancho and make Garnacho the #2 LW, who he rates highly.

 

[sixdwarf]

The alternatives are Sancho and Martial, who are both lazy cowards. At least Wout isn't that, even if he's shit.

Sabitizer scored twice in one game as an advanced forward. He looks far more of a threat than Weghorst ever has.

 

[joedirt87]

WW starting, we are screwed.

Making one of the boldest predictions any man can make. Weghorst WILL score a goal today.

 

[Silverman]

What clowns are turning on Ten Hag

 

[Dolf]

If managing his lack of goal scoring by benching him is what he meant, then I'm all for it. Weghorst, despite not being a goal threat, creates far more pressing and disruption in the final third, which is what allowed the likes of Rashford to go on his post WC goal scoring run.

Exactly. I can’t stand all the crying about Weghorst on here. We play better as a team with WW.
Some people here really think EtH is an amateur that can’t properly judge what kind of striker he needs to start.

 

[DickDastardly]

Unbelievable lineup. If we don't win this Ten Haag should consider he's position.

What's wrong with the lineup?

Wout instead of lazy Martial and you lose your panties over that?
