It's absolutely criminal how much better players Bournemouth have in their forward line despite the £600m spent by Ten Hag.

 

[JBG]

Catch that Onana.

 

[Ace of Spades]

This. Our problems have stemmed far much longer than when Amorim came. He’s just seeing it in front of his eyes that we’ve witnessed for the past couple of years that these players are simply not good enough.

This squad is poor and on top of that lost two attackers in the window. The whole thing is a mess.

 

[Dudu]

Keep it up lads.

 

[Jaap]

What is the stat for goalkeeper touches? I bet Onana is one of the top.

Onana (1390) is only sixth in the League - Flekken (1759), Pickford (1618), Raya (1429) top three.

 

[Von Mistelroum]

Loving the regular cuts to the Liverpool match build-up. Do they not have a separate channel for this?

 

[Agila Dathi]

Why dod you punch the ball Onana?? There was no danger!!!

 

[PoTMS]

This is depressing stuff. We're miles away from the scousers and the gap is getting bigger.

 

[Mike Smalling]

Malacia probably wont be back and Shaw wont be fielded as a LWB. Amorim sees him as a LCB. We can't even count him on paper, because he's made of paper

Yeah, Shaw is the least suited for the position, no doubt. And to be clear, none of them are good enough, including Dorgu. I’m just pretty skeptical about how many players we are going to bring in. Except for the back three and Bruno we need an upgrade on all other positions.

 

[United Hobbit]

Not sure we ever got this sort of coverage… the dipper love fest is embarrassing

They've just minimised the screen of our game to show the Liverpool fans congregating, i get it looks impressive but bet they wouldn't do that it it was the other way round

Maybe because we've got main event on? But still..

 

[Ollie Derbyshire]

We really don't, none of our attacking players are good, physically and technically poor.

Ok, change them all then. And we’ll just sit here waiting, not expecting a manager and coaching team to improved them.

I wish I was a PL coach…..sorry boss none of this is my fault we just need to change all the players again…..thanks.

 

[C3Pique]

There comes a point where losing is so systemic that I'm not sure one or two players will fix it.

If the teams coming up next season are any better equipped for the Premier Leagye I think there's a real possibility of relegation next season. We've played Newcastle Wolves and Bournemouth and not laid a glove on them.

 

[Superunknown]

One person in the box ffs

Frustrating. We don't attack with numbers.

 

[Jaap]

This team has zero connection & it‘s - on paper - almost our best XI bar Shaw & Casemiro.

 

[Licha-Vidic]

Am

This. Our problems have stemmed far much longer than when Amorim came. He’s just seeing it in front of his eyes that we’ve witnessed for the past couple of years that these players are simply not good enough.

Amorim has become a problem to Manchester United Football club, same as some players have been.

 

[Garethw]

We’ve stopped the 20+ shots that we had under ETH but it’s because we are basically playing 5 at the back

We did that with Ruud by tweaking the 433/4231 formation and looked much better than we do now.

 

[thisisnottaken1]

They've just minimised the screen of our game to show the Liverpool fans congregating, i get it looks impressive but bet they wouldn't do that it it was the other way round

Yup. The arse licking for the Scousers makes me sick.

 

[Ole'sgunnarwin]

Keep it up lads.

When was the draw for the semi final made? 12 years ago?

 

[Ace of Spades]

Onana (1390) is only sixth in the League - Flekken (1759), Pickford (1618), Raya (1429) top three.

The problem is our keeper is poor. Can't save, can't pass and is brainless.

 

[jamesjimmybyrondean]

Don’t think I’ve ever had a time we faced Bournemouth and I enjoyed it. Camera is so close and feels like there’s too many players on the pitch

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Frustrating. We don't attack with numbers.

That will be fear of conceding.

 

[Red00012]

Good to see we’ve replaced Malacia with ahhh Malacia

 

[pocco]

This has been so bad today. We can’t turn up anything like this on Thursday or it’s curtains.

 

[Dudu]

Amass on for Dorgu please.

 

[PoTMS]

In hindsight, it would've been better for everyone involved if we kept Ruud until the end of the season and reassessed in the summer.

 

[Dobba]

Ok, change them all then. And we’ll just sit here waiting, not expecting a manager and coaching team to improved them.

I wish I was a PL coach…..sorry boss none of this is my fault we just need to change all the players again…..thanks.

Again? He's got one signing in the team.

And we've 'changed all the players' so many times we're still playing guys who have been so good for us that they've gone through four managers.

 

[mitchmouse]

If the ball is going on target you will. You’ve literally blocked a possible goal bound shot with an illegal part of your body.

 

[Dudu]

Oh Bruno

 

[Paul778]

For the love of god make some subs. This game doesn't matter but if any of our key players pull up we're screwed

 

[DWelbz19]

Fernandes awful today

 

[Andycoleno9]

Dalot looks as world class for all our wingback options.

 

[VP89]

Yeah, Shaw is the least suited for the position, no doubt. And to be clear, none of them are good enough, including Dorgu. I’m just pretty skeptical about how many players we are going to bring in. Except for the back three and Bruno we need an upgrade on all other positions.

I'd imagine PSV to trigger their option for Malacia, and Amass may go on loan. We most certainly need a LWB just looking at our options, there's literally no one suitable.

 

[JBG]

Oh ffs... that was the one Bruno

 

[GDaly95]

I feel that there were signs of cohesion beginning to form in the last 6-8 weeks, but they're back to playing a bit like they've never met again.

 

[Ollie Derbyshire]

For his style, yes. But he's also not improved anything here. A good manager should be able to lift a squad, especially after how bad things were after ETH. Even Ruud managed that.

Don’t talk with common sense, some on here don’t believe you even need a manager and coaching team. Playing crap is apparently nothing to do with them.

 

[Woziak]

Good to see we’ve replaced Malacia with ahhh Malacia

If shaw gets fit he’ll take the left wing back easily

 

[SuperiorXI]

Sums it up that

 

[redshaw]

Garna offside anyway.

 

[Ceteris]

Playing like the teams on Fifa controlled by CPU

Absolutely nothing

 

[lex talionis]

I mean fundamentally, the most major issue is that we lack an attacker who can be relied on to score.

I'm not saying the performance has otherwise been stellar but we created about as much as Bournemouth in the first half (which is to say, not an awful lot). The difference is that their attacker leathered home their best chance, whilst Garnacho couldn't beat the keeper with ours.

This is why I think a player like Cunha is so desperately needed. Say what you will about his attitude, he's the sort of player who you can depend upon to score given half a chance and we are constantly being punished because we don't have that.

This. A proper striker would make a huge difference. Right now there’s no belief we can even get a shot on target. With no such belief, everything comes apart. But with belief in the possibility of end product, buildup play improves, momentum stats our way and opposing teams lose their own confidence.
