Better than having McFred.Oh yeah, one man midfield it is then.
Still not going to win. It is what it is. I'll tune in to watch.

Our admin is a city or liverpool fan."Bring on United"? Eh? Shouldn't it be 'Bring on Brentford'?
You are right. My point was about the idea that Shaw could have easily the first player jettisoned, after that display he has no argument in his favor, he should be thanking ETH for the opportunity.He'll give Shaw and others enough rope to hang themselves and give Malacia etc a few weeks to adapt. We have enough games that they'll all get chances to stake a claim.
Our biggest issue was with the ball. Because McFred were so inept when it came to make themselves available and pass through Brighton's pressing, a large amount of our possession turned into counter attacks for Brighton.I find it interesting we went for even less defensively sound setup after last game. Certainly didn't expect that.
Baffling?! Surely it’s shrewd business with the form of Shaw and also his injury record. Having to potentially have played Telles in those games severely weakens us.Baffling from EtH to spend £14m on a backup FB when there's so many more pressing positions that need addressing.
Give it time ETH will weed them out one by oneMaguire, Dalot, Fred, Shaw, Bruno, Rashford. So many sources of vulnerability.
no he's absolutely right."Bring on United"? Eh? Shouldn't it be 'Bring on Brentford'?
He does. And he won't. We're setting him up to fail here.The best team we can put out. Fred needs to put on a defensive masterclass here.
thats the spine of the team and that is why we are shiteMaguire, Dalot, Fred, Shaw, Bruno, Rashford. So many sources of vulnerability.
One of McTominay or Fred as the single #6 has failed time and time again. I would've preferred a more defensive minded player in Martinez there and push Fred further forward.He does. And he won't. We're setting him up to fail here.
I'd rather drop Bruno and add van de Beek or Garner to midfield. We're too vulnerable defensively.
We would need to have 80% possession for this setup to work.
If we sign 2 midfielders and 1 attacker as reported I'd imagine all three players won't start for United by Christmas.Maguire, Dalot, Fred, Shaw, Bruno, Rashford. So many sources of vulnerability.
It didn't get walked through last week?That midfield is going to get walked through. Not a single defensively minded player. All Brentford need to do is sit back and hit fast on the counter.
Yep, best we can field. Midfield looks super flimsy and liable to be dominated but we know that.Best we can field.
Ole ball....ETH's biggest weakness! How did you know?That midfield is going to get walked through. Not a single defensively minded player. All Brentford need to do is sit back and hit fast on the counter.
I read that in a Wicklow accentThink Shaw deserved dropping but sure look I won't complain
It'd get walked through regardless of who we put out, sadly.It didn't get walked through last week?
We don't know who will play as the 6. Eriksen finished the game in that spot last week. We could see the same again.One of McTominay or Fred as the single #6 has failed time and time again. I would've preferred a more defensive minded player in Martinez there and push Fred further forward.
They don’t play like that though. Fred played as the deepest midfielder plenty. Surely you’d rather that than McFred? At least we have some creativity.That midfield is going to get walked through. Not a single defensively minded player. All Brentford need to do is sit back and hit fast on the counter.
