The more often you see so many similar performances, the more it feels like an intentional approach. And based on the results, the more it feels like piss poor decision making by the manager and his coaches. The squad is his, moreso than any manager post-Fergie. Yes the injuries have been bad...

"Status: Finished" on top of the match thread now feels ever so apt

Game raise at home against Liverpool and then sleepwalk against a team we should be playing off the park. We are every bit a 6th place, zero GD team

Probably only Hojlund, Garnacho, and Mainoo. I know we won't sell all the rest but they would all be expendable. We're unlikely to win a league in the next 2-3 seasons with most of this squad so you're unlikely to have still-useful players like Shaw, Martinez, Bruno contributing at high levels...

His quality, composure, and decision-making are often often already at the level you'd expect from the very best at his position. Hope the new regime buys a young Casemiro-type to partner with him for the next 10 years. What a gem

There is absolutely no way he sits McTominay for Bruno. It will be either Mainoo or Amrabat that makes way and we'll see the lone DM midfield get torn to shreds. Anfield was a crystal clear lesson on what the team in its current state can do if set up more reasonably to compensate for our...

Hopefully it's quite cold and rainy and they'll just want to end the proceedings as quickly as possible :nervous:

It's really just going to come down to how much they want to embarrass us. Our players expect mercy after the beatings reach a certain point...sometimes that comes and the final scoreline is kinder than the performance. Fully expecting these feckers to try to run the score up as much as...

It will be something if he gets sacked and the next manager comes back to succeed with a fully healthy team made of of ten Hag's signings

Right, if Hojlund had half those chances, he'd have hit quite a few. The downgrade of support for Bruno from Casemiro-Eriksen/Sabitzer to Mctominay-Amrabat/Mainoo this year has been critical. And it's madness ten Hag has seemingly accepted that as our best and only option.

It's one thing to do it with Sancho who never proved his worth here over multiple seasons. But this has become indefensible now. Cut off your nose to spite your face management.

He's ok but he's been hung out to dry the same way Casemiro was at the start of the season. Set up to fail with the tactics despite having a potentially great midfield partner sat on the bench the entire match. Madness

One of his most thoroughly brainless and useless performances from start to finish, truly shocking.

Today feels like primarily his fault, persisting with the 5-0-5 against a team that was all too happy to sit back and counter through our non-existent midfield. Plus relying on Martial, making no half time changes. Newcastle felt like a distinct lack of effort from the players but today the...

Scholes was involved in the doc itself but yes, they really never touched on his play for the team. He was in it just as a another Beckham fan. At least he didn't put himself down like Neville.
