That’s true… top managers/coaches can get the best out of average players and make them look world class. 3/4 signings can make our team look and play a whole lot better.
Ten Hag’s team also has the element of pressing from Rangnick’s school (Hence why Rangnick nominated him at first when our board preferred Pochettino). In your midfield trio of Bruno, Neves, De Jong I don’t see much pressing and fresh legs in there. Rather all 3 of them are the type to need “water carriers” around them to do the combative aspect more effectively.
What is the source of this bolded statement?
Very accurate description.
Finally we have someone sane in the house. I’ve been banging on for years to for us to sort out midfield first and foremost before any other positions. You can have best defenders and strikers but if you have midfield that’s championship level you’re getting nowhere.Tweet

bloody hell we've all been begging for this to be identified for last couple of years....thank fuk if this is true
The reason he has been branded toxic by some isn't some secret. Off the pitch he has been fingered for some of those leaks. It's been alarming to see the double standard applied for leaks when it was Lingard versus when it was Rashford. His PR has also thrown people under the bus to save his skin, ole being one. There's now the stuff about asking for assurances about his role going forward after possibly being the worst performer of the last 6 months.
Needed only about 6 managers to figure that out
Nah, we don’t have the NRA over here.
Another nonsense tweet to make fans panic over transfers, feckin idiot journos.
One of these stories is false
Maybe he wants to play Nunez and Timber in midfield
It is obviously not Ten Hag's job to "shift players". What nonsense.
I see the Glazer propaganda has taken effect.
Wonder if someone has promised to sign for Erik before he goes off on holiday, a la Gazza with Fergie famously.
Some people can form opinions without propaganda, just by watching football. Those opinions may be right and might be wrong, but they are not due to brainwashing.
I hope you cleaned up afterwards. I hate when people don't wipe down the equipmentMany Men just came on me in the gym
EtH
Of course, of course
Maguire, Telles and Lindelöf are too slow.

Why are they allowed to consider anything? Their minds should be made up for them. We need to start being ruthless, if they aren’t up to standard then shift them on. The days of just hanging around picking up a wage should be over, I know it’s easier said than done to get rid these players with the wages they’re on but if we have to take a hit then so be it. As long as we’ve got a clean slate with players who want to be here and are of the required quality, it’s obviously not going to be a quick fix and will take a few windows to get it done.
There should be nothing for Bailly, Jones, Martial, and AWB to "consider". If they're not in our plans, they're not in our plans.
we need two CM’s, a CB, a LB, a RB, a RW and a striker - some would argue a GK too
