  1. Rasmus Højlund | 2023/24 Performances

    For me, it's the tactics. I don't think we've had any striker thriving under EtH in these two years, and the two n°8 tweak going into this season is definitely not working, so it's not just a Rasmus problem. Next year is going to be big for him as that excuse will probably be gone.
  2. The number 1 attribute we need in a new manager

    Pragmatism. Someone who does what is needed to win rather than focus on style and ideals when things are obviously not working out.
  3. Are Bruno and Rashford a problem?

    Yeah, Bruno is a problem. He's a problem because other players rely on him too much to make things happen, and it's detrimentral to our play. Even if he's not in a favourable position they'll try to give him the ball when he'll have no choice but to knock it forward and hope. The last minutes...
  4. Squad analysis

    Realistically, GK: + new GK (if Onana doesn't suit the new style of play & the budget allows) Onana Bayindir Heaton RB: Dalot AWB CB: Martinez Varane +New CB Maguire Evans (Only because the others are too injury prone) Lindelof LB: Shaw +New LB Malacia (Not that good and less available than...
  5. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    For me, it's not even the subs. What kind of instructions is he giving to the players to see out a tense match that sees all the defenders go up for a corner? I know it's tempting to think we can nab a finisher with the extra CB, but that's kamikaze football and it's not the first time we've...
  6. Post match vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

    Good result, but that's an abysmal game management again. ETH needs to have a good look at himself if those are his instructions.
  7. Diogo Dalot | 2023/24 Performances

    He was one of our better players today again. Feels like bizzaro world that he's slated here while AWB is getting called MOTM in his thread.
  8. Will Bruno achieve legend status at utd?

    If he leads us to PL or CL glory? Sure. Otherwise, I don't see what legendary feat he has achieved besides being the best of a poor bunch.
  9. Manchester United reaches agreement for Sir Jim Ratcliffe to acquire 25% of the company

    The deal is far from ideal, but it could be the beginning of something (good or bad). The big question is what are the concrete plans for the sporting control? They said they are delegating, but how much say will the Glazers have? I assume they still have control over the purse strings.
  10. Post match vs Bournemouth

    We lost against ourselves. All their goals were soft and could have been prevented. The teamwork is nonexistent. We have a squad, but the team is gone. Maybe the only way to rebuild it is to cut the head.
  11. Anthony Martial | 2023/24 Performances

    He did the wrong thing. Shadow pressing is meant to close down on the opponent while cutting passing lanes, but Martial was way too far for him to feel any sort of pressure during the whole sequence. In fact, looking at it tactically Rashford was on their LB, Bruno on Bruno and Garna on their...
  12. Post match vs Newcastle United

    This is a collective wreckage, but for me most of the blame lies with the front 3 again. It's like we were playing with 8 men because they weren't up for it offensively and defensively. A lot has been said about the lack of midfield, but what's the point if your forwards can't hold the ball to...
  13. Rasmus Højlund | 2023/24 Performances

    The team has issues, but he's part of it. We always hear about how he's not given service or others are not creating occasions for him, but what occasion or space does he create for the team? I feel he's overall too easy to mark out of the game for opposition CBs. Anytime others try to find...
  14. Why isn't there a bigger deal being made of the unprecedented Højlund-Rodri penalty?

    That's quite a false equivalence I think, unless there is a provision for going to jail for speeding. It should go: Everyone speeds a little but don't usually get fines despite it being illegal. We were speeding and got caught by an overzealous officer, so we received a fine according to the...
  15. Is there favoritism or not?

    Anony was out for like 1 month and none of his replacements did any better. Hard to call it favouritism when no one is knocking on the door. Dropping players for the sake of dropping them will achieve nothing.
