    Daily reminder that the Glazers are human garbage
    We have wasted a shit ton of money.. Unless the glazers were handpicking the players, the blame lies elsewhere...
    Unless you are complaining about us not having a sugardaddy.

    Be 5'9" and attacked for that rather than anything actually happening on the pitch.
    Lets be fair now, he didn’t mark his man on the third goal and was absolutely embarrassing when he straight up feel down once the attacker got his head on it. Goal shouldn’t have happened at all due to de Gea’s poor positioning, but Martinez deserves some blame

    It was a stupid pass, middle of the goal 12 yards out and pass to a player with an opposing player beside him is mental. Why take unnecessary risks like that? Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
    You see passes like that everywhere around the pitch, why not trust a player who many have claimed is 'press resistant' (despite the meaningless quantity of that statement).

    Naivety on the managers behalf and two poor errors by DDG.

    5ft 9in Centre half in the EPL, he's just paid £50m to add another vulnerability to an already vulnerable team. Needs to move Martinez to midfield.

    Shaw was horrible again, Malacia much improved in second half.

    Sancho & Rashford ineffective. Bruno none creative, living off past seasons.

    Hoping Eriksen is the second coming of Paul Scholes he's not ffs..

    Dalot poor.

    Apart from Malacia no positives for me..

    We haven’t not consistently yeah de Gea may play it short some times but more often he would hoof it

    when it become clear to a team that what we are gonna do every time a team is gonna take advantage of the fact we have a keeper who isn’t capable of doing that with a press against him. Ten Hag should know that
    I think you are missing the point. Playing out doesn’t mean playing it short all the time. It was an error by DDG one which we have seen him make under Ole.

    And the manager doesn’t have an alternative keeper by the way. Since the club messed that up

    I agree with this. Eriksen showed for the ball and wanted it, and didn't play the right pass. It happens. Receiving the ball on the half turn is not hard, Eriksen just went the wrong way.
    Indeed. But of course in this place they have their favourites and will not deviate from their thoughts.

    What did Lisandro do wrong? I missed 1st half
    He slipped while turning when challenging for the 3rd goal. Forget that it was a goalmouth shambles and the goalie and another another 2 players could have challenged.
    Even Jamie Redtwat getting in the on the act. I quote him . The reason we were leathered is that you cant play with a 5/9 centre back in this league. Most on hear agrees with that moron apparently

    Owners are the ultimate heads of any organization. That’s like the CEO of a major corporation not taking responsibility for the health of the business because it has to be someone under him who’s at fault.

    Who hired the people who got us into this mess? Who leveraged the club with debt? Who has installed yes men and friends in positions of power? Who refuses to update the front office to be in line with modern best practices? It all circles back to one group, and that’s ownership.

    Can't wait to hear ETH say we took back control in 2nd half and we have some good players
    he has an incompetent transfer team..he’s stuck with this squad more or less…the attention to him being incompetent is only weeks away from happening..even from the club’s fanbase never mind the media. He’s in a pickle. Not doing all he can to protect his squad, is a move that’s not worked out for his predecessor’s. Our last manager should Still be at the club doing what he was brought in to do. This manager presumably didn’t believe his opinion…bet he does now.

    If Henderson was here DDG would have played much better. He was like this before Henderson started challenging his place. Suddenly he went into God mode. Now Henderson left, no competitive, he is back to his worst again.
    This is unfortunately 100% true. Im expecting a shit show DDG this season

    Bruno must be dropped - he is so out of form yet got a pay rise - what does that tell you?

    As for Sancho - I see no resemblance to the Dortmund player - he is crap?

    Im not sure he will be our no.1 by the end of the window….if Henderson hadn’t been such a prick he’d have had that position down up by next week

    Brentford players ran 13km more than Utd players. I'm sure it won't take long for it to be the manager's fault though. Coming from a lower league, being naive, etc.

    No manager will be able to repair this squad without investment. As a group of players, they’ve has run their course. They look broken and mentally affected by what’s just happened when we saw them trudging off the field afterwards.

    No but clearly Ten Hag had dictated pass it to Eriksen, Ten Hag Will of known that was gonna go wrong a lot of times and he still played that strT

    True, but also Ten Hag has clearly been the one dictating the transfer strategy this summer so he has to take some of the blame on that too.

    No. Watch it again. Eriksen has a go at DDG and tells him he was suppose to kick it there. You have made up play out from the back at all costs in your head.

    He's 100% right. It wasn't just the goal, the gameplan was to target him allowing them an easy way to get up the pitch, he can't compete against 6ft strong centre forwards and he makes us vulnerable end of story. He needs to reinvent himself as a CDM, naive recruitment on part of EtH.

    Like Maguire always do? Its always the team that has to do better, never his fault.
    Why would he turn round and blame it on someone else?
    We've seen this from De Gea many a time before.

    Anyone who has played central midfield will know it's Eriksens issue,

    I'm just glad he had balls to blame it on himself. Last year almost every time Maguire did mistakes that cost the team he always came after the game and always put the blame and the team NEVER blamed himself.

    So the 1st 2nd and 4th goals were caused by targets on Martinez. Cant believe I missed that. Talk about making an agenda fit

    You think it was all Eriksen? and nothing to do with Ten Hags strategy….. seems naive

    Just seen the 4th goal - it’s straight out of the Steve Cooper counter attack playbook.

    You don’t know what the strategy is if you believe it involves passing to the midfielder at the edge of the box with a man rushing him
