Think he was good against Leeds at homeHas Garnacho ever had a good game when he's starting?

This has disappointed me. We look exactly like last season, making it up as we go along. It feels disjointed and all a bit desperate at times.We have no idea how to attack. Where are the combinations? Where is the movement?
Rashford through the middle only really works if you have creators out wide that can find him in those channels. Garnacho and Antony aren’t really creatorsWe need a striker so bad. Rashford is a one trick pony through the middle. We look so much better with him on the left.
The best the team has looked in years was the Eriksen, Casemiro and Bruno. It's up there with Pogba, Herrera and Matic. Sometimes a balanced midfield has a greater effect than one pumped with talented individuals. Unfortunately it's not working because the balance.Terrible half. Team has gone back in terms of play. Reminded me of dark times that we had to endure past 10 years. Just hoping to counter
But isn’t this the system Ten Hag wants to play, that’s why he signed Mount? The signing made no sense with Bruno in the team. Our CM regularly gets turned over in midfield and we’ve done nothing to strengthen it.Clearly a system issue as Casemiro is being left completely isolated as mount is too high and/or the fullback isn't tucking in quick enough
The most worrying part though is they look quicker and stronger to a man. Wolves look mid season fitness and we still look in pre-season mode
What for?Mount MOTM first half.
Early days however the 4-1-2-3 formation might actually get ETH the sack if he’s PL record is like Pre Season, he needs another top midfielder next to Casemiro then we can dominate the opposition, teams will be licking their lips to play this united side it’s far too open ?This team will struggle to score 60 goals, and we are leaking chances all over. Shit half
couldn’t agree more, Bruno looks ace when he drops a bit deeper I don’t think mount can do it to be honest. Need more potency in the attack for surePoor game so far.
I would take Garnacho off at half time. Huge prospect but he is killing every attack in this match.
Would also consider taking off Martinez for Lindelof due to the yellow and looks a bit off the pace by his standards.
One of Bruno and Mount needs to drop deeper and player next to Casemiro to allow us to control the midfield more.
We were playing down the left for the most part. We weren't getting the ball to Rashford, hence why he's started to drift out to the left and has been dangerous when he has. With us playing down the left, Garnacho's inability to do anything has impacted our play massively. Get someone else on and watch our play improve.He was bad, but at least he was involved and got on the ball and got into attacking positions. Rashford on the other hand is still apparently on holiday
Exactly nowhere near ready to start week in week out, he’s better against tiring defenders.Feel bad for Garnacho, it's clear he wants to do so much, his inexperience shines through. He'll have much better games off the bench, still needs time to mature.
Casemiro is also too high himself thats part of the problemAgree with the folks that say the midfield doesn't work. Casemiro needs to do too much currently. He needs help from one of Bruno / Mount dropping deep.
What’s the bet the same team comes out ?ETH has got this one wrong so far. Hopefully he fixes it at half time
I don't think we're unfit, just overthinking it.considering how many pre season games we’ve had.. we shouldn’t be unfit.
I mean Garnacho is rapid, and so is AWB. But just in general every movement looks like we are playing our 2nd game in 3 days.We only have two fast players tbh.
Shaw and Rashford, rest of the squad is pretty slow.
He may want to mould Mount into q different player but i question the time it could take instead of simply buying a player perfect for that 8 roleIt's a good question, I asked this. My gut feeling is that ETH hasn't fully grasped the PL yet and is a bit naive
YesHas Garnacho ever had a good game when he's starting?
Yeah, he only finished 3rd in his first season here...It's a good question, I asked this. My gut feeling is that ETH hasn't fully grasped the PL yet and is a bit naive
Huge worry for me too.This midfield is going to cost us so many goals and we don't have the goalscorers to make up for it
If Sancho played like Garnacho is playing, there would be 100 posts about how shite he is.
Are you the same guy with different accounts?If Sancho had played like Garnacho in this half he would have been crucified on here
£60m for a player and new system that makes us obviously worse.Gonna be interesting to see who the next scapegoat going to be....Mount?
Someone should have advised him better on this. Anyway he's here now. Let's hope if he doesn't improve that ETH will not take long to realise this. We definitely need to get another midfielder in.I’m not sure what sort of player ETH thought he was buying on Mason Mount but he does not work with our other midfielders
I don't know if you're joking but I actually think he does. We're too weak centrally, lots of slow players - it's fine if you can zip the ball around and pass your way up the pitch, Traveller the opponent out chasing the ball but we don't seem to want/be able to.McTominay needs to come on
