The midfield partner for Mainoo is actually not the main issue with our possession. Our main issue is that our best attackers are all one dimensional, counterattacking players. Rashford, Bruno and Garnacho provide nothing in possession. McTominay in the starting side is a massive drop off with...

Yes. Man of the match for me. Think many on the board are overrating Garnacho’s match today. Both pk’s were more about sloppy defending than brilliant play from him. I don’t believe we score in either of those situations without the foul. But then you look at his lack of tactical awareness, his...

Yeah, no kidding. Later Sancho!

Yeah, we really need him to give us something in the midfield consistently. He’s been off to a poor start this season. Hopefully this game is a first step in a better direction.

I don’t know. Suppose it depends on the question…

There have been plenty of performances this year to make one ask this question. This wasn’t one of him. He was good today.

We’ve spent the same amount of money as City over that period of time. It’s not how much we spend, it’s how we spend it. Poor recruitment, and that includes Ten Hag’s choices. But it’s not just a talent issue. There are problems with selections, tactics, in game management, zero structure, and...

People saying Ten Hag is worse than Ole have forgotten how bad it had gotten under Ole. In all honesty, there is very little difference between Ten Hag and Ole at their worst. Literally the same team with the same players stinking up the joint.

I agree. I’ve been a supporter, but whether or not he has the players, this team has clearly regressed under his watch. And frankly, he has chosen his signings the last two years for the most part, so he can’t argue he hasn’t had a major part in the construction of his squad. Think he is nearing...

Great! You’ve made your opinion known. Most disagree. I think Sancho’s reaction demonstrates why it was good that Ten Hag called him out. He’s making an example of him and Jadon is letting his career rot away. Every United player is watching this play out. Let it be a lesson for all of them.

6-1 Villa. Close thread?

I think Bruno magnifies the issues posed by Casemiro and Eriksen by sloppily giving the ball away in transition and opening us up to counters. People always wonder why opposing teams cut through our midfield and think this is merely an issue of legs. It is that in part, but it’s also the way we...

Cool. Good talk

Other than paragraph 2, which seems to be a reply to someone other than me (since I never made the argument that the CB’s should be blamed for the goals rather than the midfield), I disagree with everything else you said. Yes, Hojlund projects better over the long haul, but he is also already...

Not even close.
