  1. I hope for a brutal summer

    There are too many to let go and some on the cheap too. May be unthinkable under previous management to sell players cheaply (even players we don't need) but hopeful SJR's team is different. Sancho, DVD, Ambramat, Eriksen, Varane, AWB, Magguire/Lindelof, Martial That's 8 that we don't need...
  2. Alejandro Garnacho | 2023/24 Performances

    Really love this kid. He didn't have a good game, but he worked his socks off. He has the same hard working attitude as Hojlund. Hopefully some of this attitude rubs off Rashford too.
  3. Kobbie Mainoo | 2023/24 Performances

    I like his calmness and how he kept things simple. Reminds me a lot like Carrick. He doesn't have a lot of pace and hopefully with experience he make that up with better positioning. Carrick wasn't fast too but he was always at the right place and right time to make that interception. He will...
  4. Rasmus Højlund | 2023/24 Performances

    he always seemed to be the only play on the field with the dirtiest jersey on. Love his commitment but he wont be able to last a full 90 the way he is playing.
  5. Let's say INEOS go full fire sale this summer: Who are your untouchables?

    not sure if it is realistic to expect a fire sale. I honestly think our first eleven are pretty good except for the goal keeper. We would be much higher up the table if not for those injuries. But let's say if we do have a fire sale. I'll keep the following as first team (not necessary...
  6. Best and worst players of the season so far?

    Best I would say is Garnarcho for lack of competition. Worst has to be Onana - Could be Antony or Martial but they are both out for a period of time. So default goes to Onana. It scares me each time a ball crosses into our penalty area and he comes off the line. He either punch our own player...
  7. Picture of youth - Mainoo, Garnacho, Hojlund

    Right now it is a very nicely taken picture. Let’s just enjoy the ride and hope in 10 years time this turned Into something more meaningful. But I do love how these three gelled.
  8. André Onana | 2023/24 Performances

    His shot stopping is average but with a decent defense he shouldn't be taking that many shots too. It is his constant dallying on the ball that annoys me. He just loves to hold on to the ball and wait for the attacker to rush him, instead of playing short, he will almost always kick it long and...
  9. Jonny Evans | 2023/24 Performances

    Just age catching up with him. Even so he is no worst than our current batch. His awareness is still there, just that the body can't catch up, his passes are still good. Evans now is still good enough as a backup. Evans in his prime can be our starting CB, Evans at his prime was 4th choice...
  10. Hannibal Mejbri | 2023/24 Performances | Sevilla (loan)

    I say we sell him with a buy back option. It is the best for him and us to be honest. The guy need game time to develop which we cannot afford to give.
  11. Sir Jim reportedly deems ETH's position not a priority unless results are particularly dire - missed opportunity or the right decision?

    absolutely right call to make. we need to make meaningful changes, not knee jerks again. There are players here that failed previous managers too that need to improve or leave: Rashford, AWB, Dalot, Lindelof, MCT, Sancho Players that ETH signed that need to improve or leave: Onana, Antony For...
  12. André Onana | 2023/24 Performances

    He is too showoffish. Always slow down play uncessarily. Each time the balls goes back to him, he will dally on the ball, look left look right, either make the easy pass or hit a long pass to the opponent.
  13. Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United

    This is sooo boring.
  14. Kobbie Mainoo | 2023/24 Performances

    Best thing about him is his composure. There are many older pros that do not have that. He has still much to learn and improve, but he already has the one of the most important tool to be a world class midfielder in his locker. I don't think we will see his full potential until a bit later...
  15. Marcus Rashford | 2023/24 Performances

    This should be his minimum. The problem with him is when he is out of form, he just gave up and sulk. Compare to Garnacho or Bruno who will just keep going and trying even when out of form. I hope he finally kicks on and improve but there have been too many false starts for me to get excited...
