The Havertz chance was a good chance but they didn’t have alot if good chances. We defended well and starved them of the ball. We didn’t use the ball well when we had it but we were far from being open
We long balled it constantly to nowhere all through the match alongside passing aimlessly between the goalkeeper and back 4. If that's improvement, then I don't know what is
Yes, squad that was in desperate need of a rebuild would be worse off if nobody was added. Your brilliant insights just keep coming
Casemiro and maybe Varane will need to be replaced next summer, and I doubt Antony has what is takes.
The Forest game was good to be honest. Chelsea lost to them and we came back from 2 down and dominated the game.
The only patterns of play we saw today were the CBs taking short goal kicks, leading to absolutely nothing. That’s more than enough to please this fanbase.
Yep he had them playing heavy metal football immediately. And when players weren't up to it, he replaced them properly.
Playing out from the back, Samid. Playing out from the back!
I don’t think there’s any serious call for his sacking, but for very few, tiny minority. And there likely won’t be one unless we happen to sit mid table by Christmas and already out of the CL.
And Onana trying to find Rashford which failed all the time
Unless he wins the big ears
Evans was an insider tickle my tummy signing. His wife is MUTV. Probably best mate with Fletcher. This was an upper management signing.
Rashford is shit in the air that's why.
That’s the the problem Bruno sure as hell can’t carry ball and the ones behind him can’t carry ball we need to try something else or wait and see if Mount can fill that role or else we are doomed this season.
Being the best transition team in the world doesn't mean you're solely a counter attacking side.
That's exactly what it means.
They had 16 touches in our box with United only having 5 in theirs. Arsenal literally pegged United in their half throughout the first half.
You keep saying try someone else but who is this someone else?
Pretty sure he can see it. Hence we signed midfielders who add dynamism in Mount and Amrabat. And hence we were linked with Onana
It’s not really. Transition just means the moment when turnover turns to offensive action, so if you disposses the opponent in the middle of the pitch and launch a quick attack, that’s a transition, it isn’t a counter attack in that case because the opponent wasn’t ‘attacking’, so to speak. The gegenpress is transition, when you force turnover high up the pitch and attack quickly from there. All counterattacks are transitions, not all transitions are counterattacks.
That's a very pretentious and hipster way of calling it a counter attack.
Without injuries Erikson wouldn't have started and nor would Martial so Im sure he sees.
I like Ten Hag but this bothers me. I can’t recall watching a match and thinking he’s won us that game with a change. That needs to improve.
I mean, you do you, but the hipsters are the ones ruling top level football at the moment and they would disagree with that take.
Does Antony really belong in the same list as those other three players? Antony might not be Adama Traore but he isnt lacking athleticism like older Casemiro and Eriksen or broken Martial i think.
Who had no interest in playing for ETH again.
It will help to some extent but we simply have to work the ball better to make the most significant step towards being a great football team. We had 57% possession today and only 4% of that was forays into the final 3rd, with 5 touches in their box. This has been a running theme of multiple United side post Fergie that we can’t craft sustained, meaningful attacks out of a spell of prolonged possession, we can’t pin teams back into their own half and really put them under the cosh for 10, 15, 20 minutes until they break or run themselves ragged. Our football is always chaotic and individualistic, with high margin of error. City is repeatedly lambasted by this fan base for being boring but watching them dismantle Fulham yesterday without even playing all that well sure isn’t boring.
He had no interest in leaving Barca full stop. It's well documented that it's his dream club and he loves living there.
It was almost a carbon copy of the much maligned LVG football.
That’s not the point. The point is Casemiro is not the vision and shouldn’t be at the club.
