  1. Rashford - New contract or sell?

    Extend current contract and see how he performs all year. Should not renew off of 3 games, and any new contract should definitely not have any significant pay rise after the past 2 years.
  2. Fred vs McTominay

    Both are good players, neither world class but then very few n our squad would be considered such. They are great squad players and neither are really the type of midfielders they have had to be the past 3-4 years due to our poor recruitment and planning prior to ETH. Currently because of how...

    Your striker is not suupposed to be trying to collect a throw in deep in our own half. That's happened - no theory necessary. That's the job of a defender or midfielder. And I'm sure Dalot threw it to him despite him being surrounded because he's his national captain. Two stupid mistakes.
  4. Fred | 2022/23 Performances

    How is it crazy? His role is to be higher up and Eriksen was supposed to be deep. Ronaldo is supposed to flick/kick that ball on and when he does player sneed to be higher to try to retain it. he was not supposed to chest trap and try to control & dribble with it - that was the only crazy thing...
  5. Fred | 2022/23 Performances

    I think he gets sold next summer and that's fine. he is almost 30. but we need to bring in better first.
  6. Fred | 2022/23 Performances

    I think you are right. We have no one good at that technical DM slot, at least not in the current team so are tryin for FdJ, bringing in Rabiot. Fred will be better higher up as he was last year but will have to compete and defer to the likes of Eriksen & Bruno (who has been crap but will still...
  7. Lisandro Martínez | 2022/23 Performances

    Exactly and this happened all over the pitch.
  8. Lisandro Martínez | 2022/23 Performances

    Martinez actually won quite a few headers in that game. The issue was when they pressed short we couldn't kick accurately long. And when we did occassionally the forwards are timid cowardly and lazy (mostly) and didn't compete. I lost count of the amount of times I would see Rashford, Sancho...
  9. Lisandro Martínez | 2022/23 Performances

    Agreed - in that moment his lack of height was an issue but everything leading to that 3rd goal (including him having to take on TWO Burnley players on our goal line) had little to do with Martinez.
  10. Harry Maguire | 2022/23 Performances

    He was equally at fault as shaw was for the 4th - he should have seen toney and competed with him, slowing him down at least - the silly yellow he got before meant he couldn't even foul him. And he was negligent on the 3rd - he was in front of DdG watching Toney outhead Eriksen, then Mee and...
  11. Harry Maguire | 2022/23 Performances

    Psychologically damaged goods is our 'Arry. Not sire if he will recover, but even if he can not by playing through it. He needs a big break and when the entire team is settled bring him back in maybe. He was fairly decent to good in a counterattacking team that meant he never left his box for...
  12. Bruno Fernandes | 2022/23 Performances

    Quite apart from the Bruno issue (We don't talk about Bruno) this is correct - we don't have a 6 or a real team (yet), and both teams have pressed the two guys we have tried there well. Fred & Eriksen always had 1-2 players on them ebfor ethey got the ball. If the team on a whole is timid and...
  13. Bruno Fernandes | 2022/23 Performances

    Moaning moaning and more maoning. Also so so careless. if it's not a hollywood ball he can't do it it seems? He's been in poor form almost as long as Rashford has.
  14. Fred | 2022/23 Performances

    Ronaldo got away form the cirticism here - he should have tried to head the ball on, not chest trap and try to take it down. Those 3 touches trying to keep the ball allowed 2 brentford players to crowd and dispossess him. As a team we dont play with a high IQ.
  15. Fred | 2022/23 Performances

    Because like last game he was played out of position as a DM vs Watford (twice btw not every time). You can do the same to McT and even Eriksen as we've seen. If you aren't a 6 playing in a settled team that knows what it's doing, any kind of serious pressing will force mistakes.
