Let's add Antony and Amrabat to an already League One level match
Like an end of season stroll.Dire stuff from both sides really.
Yeah, you're not wrong about those buys, they were disastrous TBF. My main worry about ETH is the absolute lack of any signs that a style of play is starting to become ingrained. We still look like we don't really have a plan on the pitchA couple of poor buys understates the catastrophe that the buys of Antony and Mount are. I do agree though that ETH is not a brilliant manager, but could it be said of the other managers currently in the conversation to succeed him are in fact brilliant managers? Probably not. Once you get past Pep and Klopp, and keys add Arteta now, who’s actually brilliant? Maybe Emery. Maybe some manager in Spain or Italy, but moving up from Spain or Italy to manage United is a massive leap. ETH has been dealt shit with player issues out of his control, but I agree he should have done better than he has.
Yes, but it wouldn’t work. ETH tried Bruno and Mount earlier in the season and it was a mess. A fine mess.Mount would start over McT surely. Mount can score like McT but is a lot better at football too.
Agreed and glad he’s got plenty of time to develop thisMainoo's biggest criticism for me is that he fades in and out of games. Needs to evolve into a volume passer. Part of that is tactical but part of it is always running to make himself available for that pass.
Without dictating the game an occasional neat dribble here or there doesn't get us much.
The Antony spin should be renamed the Cotton reelDot Cotton enters the field
He has been over hitting even the most basic five yard passes the whole game. It has been an atrocious midfield performance from him.Given the position he usually takes up, it’s probably safer for him to try a Hail Mary pass rather than a five yarder, as it will at least clear the ball out of the danger area rather than setting up an Everton attack
Not happy but the extreme negativity is also a tad much in my opinion. You would think Everton is dominating but that also isnt the case at all.
Antony should have been brought on much soonerTime for Antony

Probably one of ETHs best signings! Wasn't he free as well?Evans is so good it’s mad
Makes sense as he’s absolutely bobbinsThe Antony spin should be renamed the Cotton reel
They always do"much maligned Antony" on commentary
Must be reading the caf
It would be ok today, as we also have both Mainoo and Casemiro, so one of them plays false 9. They just can’t play together AND we play a CF.Yes, but it wouldn’t work. ETH tried Bruno and Mount earlier in the season and it was a mess. A fine mess.
Top three ETH transfer for me.Evans is so good it’s mad
Why?Antony should have been brought on much sooner
HahahahaThe Antony spin should be renamed the Cotton reel
He’s the player we thought we were getting with Maguire, just 80m cheaperTop three ETH transfer for me.
The pity penalty will see this rated as a "decent" performance.Rashford has had a bit of a shocker
Agreed. But at this point in the season all we can do is grind points, whatever the cost. Any hope of developing a style of play was in tatters by October.Yeah, you're not wrong about those buys, they were disastrous TBF. My main worry about ETH is the absolute lack of any signs that a style of play is starting to become ingrained. We still look like we don't really have a plan on the pitch
But what about those marauding midfield runs?He’s the player we thought we were getting with Maguire, just 80m cheaper
Very poor besides the pity pen he got.Rashford has had a bit of a shocker
