  1. Post match vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

    We played out best football of the season in the first half. Should have been 0-4 ahead at half time. Saw all our old weaknesses in the second half. But also some resilience that hasn't always been present either with that Mainoo goal.
  2. Post match vs Newport County

    I just can't understand this team. We were so clinical for our first two goals. I think we scored twice with our first two shots. Then after that we wasted so many gilt edged chances and confidence just drained away. This was a perfunctory 0-3 cruise that we blew through our inability to finish...
  3. Who replaces Ten Hag?

    I don't think we should be looking to get rid of Ten Hag after one poor season, especially after a successful first one. But if we were to look for a new manager we shouldn't just rush into it and sack him now. There's plenty of promising young coaches and also established ones who'll be...
  4. Jadon Sancho Borussia Dortmund loan watch (Has ended ten Hag)

    Sancho has been a failure under three different managers. I don't know why anyone would expect things to be different under a fourth.
  5. Lisandro Martínez | 2023/24 Performances

    I hope his return means we'll start seeing Onana play shorter to him and Mainoo. His distribution is great, but I'm convinced that a lot of our problems come from the instruction to play long from our own goal. Those three could strike up a very good playing relationship. Might finally see some...
  6. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    We weren't. The football was essentially the same as it is now, but he was even more cowardly. His football heritage press conference remains the lowest point I've ever had as a United fan.
  7. Post match vs Tottenham Hotspur

    Disagree with Neville's assessment. Spurs had a lot of possession, but didn't threaten much in open play. Not convinced they were by far the better side like he asserts.
  8. Jadon Sancho Borussia Dortmund loan watch (Has ended ten Hag)

    They may be getting on, but he certainly isn't. Lack of athleticism is a valid criticism of Sancho and is something which will always be an issue for him if he tries to make a career in England.
  9. Jadon Sancho Borussia Dortmund loan watch (Has ended ten Hag)

    Sancho really isn't worth all the coverage he has been getting. He has flopped under three different United managers and never once looked like he could be one of the elite Premier League players. He was even given time off to rediscover his form away from the media spotlight and he did feck all...
  10. Jadon Sancho Borussia Dortmund loan watch (Has ended ten Hag)

    And more than Sancho himself did in about a year at United too tbf.
  11. Rasmus Højlund | 2023/24 Performances

    Before we even signed Højlund it was well signposted that he needed a lot of development and not to expect him to score 15+ goals in his debut season. I'm disappointed he hasn't scored more, but I don't have a problem with being patient either. I see the usual bozos on this forum are already...
  12. Jadon Sancho (Out)

    Sancho has failed to perform under three different managers. I've no expectations that another change at the top would result in any sort of improvement. He just hasn't been a good footballer for Manchester United. He won't come back to United a changed player as he has never bothered to do it...
  13. Who replaces Ten Hag?

    I think Erik Ten Hag is one of the best managers around. He has shown at Ajax that he has the the tactical acumen to excel. So I've no idea what has actually happened at United. We had a decent first season under him, but everything that we were at good at last season, we've been awful at this...
  14. Scott McTominay | 2023/24 Performances

    He just isn't good enough. Scored a few goals a while ago, but the trade off isn't worth it. Having McTominay in midfield makes us so vulnerable. But at this stage we know what he can't do and we now have to ask why Ten Hag keeps selecting him.
  15. Erik ten Hag vs Sancho

    Sancho is a player that has failed under three different managers. He has a lot of talent, but its time to cut ties. He was catered to and trusted last season. Ten Hag protected him and gave him time off when he was struggling. Despite all that there was barely an improvement in performance and...
