Scored a worldie and kind of fluffed 2 other chances. I can understand that. But what I don't understand is the total lack of effort to fight for 50/50s, and not to mention he genuinely looked like he didn't have confidence to take on Kyle walker 1 to 1 at times.

I completely agree. Has no tactical discipline. Sometimes I wonder what if someone like Guardiola could have coached him on how to set tempo and when to pick the right time to pass and how to press properly instead of like some headless chicken.

Very underrated player. Most people did not realise that Mount's goal output this year was reduced drastically as a result of trying to shoehorn Sterling into the LW spot. Sterling has a tendency to start wide but drift inwards, clashing with Mount natural tendencies of bombing into the box from...

Mount would be a an underrated addition, we need someone like him to glue the team. And as a bonus increasing the odds of his bestie Rice signing as well!

Argentine midfield is just reminiscent of McFred. All physical but unable to protect, unable to attack and unable to progress the ball quickly and incisively under any kind of pressure.

Shaw is the probably the laziest left back in the league, the number of times he allows the opposition winger to receive possession, control and steady the ball and then allowing them to cross the ball in, all while he stands yards away watching without putting any pressures or challenges in, is...

The key thing is to address the toxic culture in the dressing room, hence the various "camps" need to be dismantled. OUTS - Portuguese camp need to be broken down (Telles, Dalot, CR7 out) - Lazy/Instagram camp needs to be gone (Lingard, Pogba) - Overdue camp needs to be cleared (Matic, Mata...

We just have to suck it up and trust the process, and work towards a defined goal. Just like pool did when they hired Brendon Rodgers, he was the one that actually managed to instill a modern style of possession football which provided a great platform for the next manager to take over from.

Results aside, I think this approach does have benefits in weeding out exactly those players who are not good enough. In essence, we need to take this poison pill now, and fully commit to the rebuild process, and stop papering over the cracks like we did for the last 10 years. I would not want...

It was logical decision based on the fact that we did not even have a permanent manager in place yet. The mistake was not to sign one at the start of the season.

Firstly, we must not fall into the same mistake that was made at the start of this season - not releasing deadwood. We need to quickly cut the losses: Outs: Cavani, Martial, Lingard, Pogba(?), one of Bailly/Lindelof, Dalot Loans: Phil Jones, vDB, Then we need to get in quality first team...

Still feels he tries to force the play too much (e.g. passes with outside of foot, etc) and thinking he can play hollywood balls all the time. He would benefit more from keeping things simple at times, making triangular passes to open up space etc. Need some one like Guardiola to instill some...

I think the other posters have already mentioned, as much as I love his passion, McTominay tends to become a passenger in certain games. He doesn't have the ability to control the game (as a top midfielder does) and he doesn't have that sense of danger to help out in the defensive sense either...

Needs to be less Gerrard and more Scholes

Great list of points there, I have the same sentiments regarding most of your points. Interesting to note the unpredictability philosophy that you mentioned, shouldn't unpredictability/creativity be unleashed after establishing a strong core foundation and strategy? Once everyone has full...
