Yeah I think the problem is all we every expect from our wingers is hard charge dribbling and runs in behind because we so rarely slow the play down to try and control the ball and push up the pitch as a collective. Amad or even Sancho are not...

The last time we ranted about poor assistant coaches it was McKenna and Carrick who are both now successful managers who have turned around Championship clubs, so there is pretty good reason to not judge an assistant solely on the performance of...

We had about as easy a run to the League cup final last year as possible, and have been incredibly fortunate to make it to the FA cup final this year with Liverpool having missed a chance to wipe the floor with us (not due to us stopping them)...

Probably fed up of watching Rashford and Wan Bissaka dribble down the wing and cut back into traffic for the 100th time and decided he' just do things himself.

Because getting mad that a high pressing attacking midfielder gets dribbled by frequently is asinine. If you want someone to take risks and try and win the ball back, which the manager clearly does, then he will inevitably get it wrong or gamble...

Pretty baffling that we play him as the wide fullback making overlapping runs on his weak side and then procede to invert Dalot playing on his strong side. Surely we would be better off inverting the fullback who is already not going to be...

This is the key for me. The biggest reason none of our young players or signings progress is because we have not had a recognizable and effective style of football for ages. It’s all well and good saying ETH has done well to bring through...

Exactly. You don't get the benefit of the doubt for not having the right players when you don't even attempt to play in that style in the first place. If we were trying to control games and had some careless giveaways and defensive mistakes...

I mean what hierarchy? There's no one left. The CEO and director of football are both gone and their replacements are either at other clubs or on gardening leave. Not surprising that ETH has the run of the place at the moment. God knows how...

But not as stupid as just marking no one and not stepping out to close down a man dribbling free into your box. The center back is the one who has to be taking control there, and his inexperience cost us there.

Yeah combine the best traits Mainoo/Kante for 3 midfielders, 2 Virgil Van Dijks at center back, KDB and Erling Haaland and we may find ourselves scratching top 4 and the knockout rounds of champions league.

I would give more merit to your argument if we didn't look just as shit with almost all of those players on the bench. We have looked inept the majority of the time regardless of who starts/plays from the first game of the season. We had our best...

Kambwala and Casemiro were both central marking no one and Maguire only had one man near him. Absolutely no reason one of the two did not slide over to take that man. Why would Dalot need to slide centrally in that scenario - only for Bournemouth...

Thats actually a genuine disgrace looking at that given the squad discrepancies. Yeah we have an injury crisis, but if anything that would make you want to set up slightly less recklessly than we have to mitigate that. Instead we play chaos...

The vast majority of our squad came here under Ole or Ten Hag. Who beyond Rashford and Shaw are these players who have survived so far past their welcome?
