I tend to only focus on PL stats rather than overall as an easy cup run can often inflate those stats. In the PL, he has had double digit assists in only one season.....which isn't actually that bad compared to other players regularly touted as being better than him (Odegaard only had double...

Yes and no. Bruno was taking penalties during his most productive season for us. You cannot just look at his stats but at whether he improves the team as a whole. I don't think he does. If you want to be impressed by stats then look at Ruud Van Nistelrooy's record for us and yet in five...

I honestly and respectfully don't understand that type of argument. He's our biggest threat because he plays in every match in his favoured position. If he didn't play (or wasn't in our club) then someone else would be in that position and they too would probably be the "biggest threat in...

Take aways from that match. * Completely baffled by what Onana is being asked to do. We bought him for his passing ability and perhaps settled for a slight offset in shot stopping (compared to DDG) but it appears his instructions are to boot the ball up the pitch where we inevitably lose...

Totally agree with your point but when I brought it up a few weeks ago everyone piled in and used Moyes' Fulham game where we crossed the ball 1000 times ! :D I'm with you though. Crosses instil panic in the opposition. Sick of seeing Antony beat his man on the wing and then slam the brakes on...

What are his running stats though? These days, even lazy players are smart enough to know everything they do on the pitch is tracked and converted into data. I wouldn't be surprised if players like Rashford intentionally make meaningless sprints just so it inflates their data stats

The scoreline against Brentford won't hit the headlines like the 7-0 mauling by Liverpool. It won't be talked about in years to come but make no mistake about it-the performance we saw yesterday leaves no doubt that ETH is the wrong manager at the wrong time for our club. Yesterday's...

I don't think one match proves anything

He must also have a head made of glass. Any opposition player who even strokes his face and Rashford goes down like he's been beaten with a baseball bat

I don't get the obsession with the trend for something based around a 4-2-3-1 formation (or slight variations of that). It is like the elite managers of today consider 4-4-2 like the "the earth is flat" school of belief but now everyone is mopre enlightened.

We've been trying for so long to try possession based football. Our wide attackers, whoever plays there, tend to cut inside and dribble their way through a sea of defenders or they try a worldie shot at goal. It doesn't work very often. Why can't we go back to similar tactics from seasons ago...

His behaviour to his g/f is abhorent but I think many of you focus on that alone and forget he's a knob regardless of that incident. He was with Foden in the England camp when he booked two escorts whilst on England duty. He has had regular disciplinary issues with Utd regarding his...

Absolutely. Many people on here seem to forget that prior to last season-he was pretty crap for us also. The media were commenting that his head didn't seem to be in the game ever since his "heroic act of charity" during Covid. It was later revealed he was playing through the pain barrier and...

I think all of our right "wingers" are doomed as they are coached to cut inside more often than not. Telling Antony to get to the byline and whip some crosses in would create panic in the opposition box. At least sticking some percentage crosses into the box is better than what we're currently...

When he joined us he said he wasn't as fit as he'd like to be so I thought "fair enough"-he knows he's got some work to do in the gym but he still looks heavy to me. You'd think that with a goalie, a few extra pounds is a hindrance to your agility. He's probably one of the heaviest set goalies...
