Far enough from good enough
Better hairline thoughSaid it in the match thread, he's the best defender against United counter attacks. The most predictable player I've ever seen. Robben without the pace, dribbling , shooting or vision.
That but is quite easy to understand tbf. He's the managers marquee signing. See Maguire and Solskjaer.Why this guy plays every match i will never understand. He has been poor since before the world cup.
Amazing the excuses we afford to players we like. He could have Kim K arse to aim for and he'd still miss by 40 feet, has nothing to do with a target to aim for he's stupidly greedy for a player who is just not it.I still dont mind him. Any winger needs something to aim for, either to direct their runs or play a pass. With Rashford as a 9 we never have that. Our wingers are expected to do everything on their own and that makes them predictable, they will always drive towards the box and try to take you on. Against tired legs Garnacho is good enough to do that but that's all.
If he's still not producing after Hojlund has settled in then questions need to be asked, but at the moment our creative players have nobody to create for.
That's about where I'm at too.I still dont mind him. Any winger needs something to aim for, either to direct their runs or play a pass. With Rashford as a 9 we never have that.

You cant be serious with that bit. The guy cant beat a player what are you on about?I still dont mind him. Any winger needs something to aim for, either to direct their runs or play a pass.

That's insulting to Pogba. He was the best player at the club and our sole source of creativity till Bruno Fernandes turned up.I have been totally convinced now that Ajax have rinsed us more than Juve did for Pogba
Why don’t we start buying players who are mature and with half a brain, not only on the pitch but also outside. Antony doesn’t strike as someone who would pass that test and as he is also not really talented I fail to see the long term perspective.Quite possibly his head is at his ex girlfriend's accusations and her formal complaint.
I really think he needs time off, away from the team, like Sancho last season. Refocus, because his life must be stressful right now.
They probably had little to do with his signing.I would've been disappointed paying €25m on him, let alone €100m. How our scouts signed off on him is beyond me.
Truth is he was awful today, but he wasn't the only one. I refuse to kneejerk after a bad game.Bingo!
I actually agree, but a lot of talented footballers are absolute nutcases. United have really been unlucky with certain individuals...Why don’t we start buying players who are mature and with half a brain, not only on the pitch but also outside.

Yup. Both output and talent Pogba was a steal compared to this guy. Defensive work rate aside, I'm not sure he offers us any more than Amad or Pellistri.That's insulting to Pogba. He was the best player at the club and our sole source of creativity till Bruno Fernandes turned up.
Spectacularly good at holding the width, apparently, which I'm pretty sure means standing still on the touchline while not providing any movement.I had so much hope after that debut against Arsenal.
Unfortunately he can’t pass, can’t score, can’t dribble, can’t cross. I just can’t identify a strength in his game. Ball control?
Nothing to do with our scouts. This one is Ten Hag's signing. He pushed for Antony.I would've been disappointed paying €25m on him, let alone €100m. How our scouts signed off on him is beyond me.
Does anyone like him? I think one of his problems is that aside from being nowhere near good enough, he also seems like a thoroughly unpleasant bloke. No saving grace whatsoever.Amazing the excuses we afford to players we like. He could have Kim K arse to aim for and he'd still miss by 40 feet, has nothing to do with a target to aim for he's stupidly greedy for a player who is just not it.
