I'm sorry I know we have been hit be huge injury woes. But this general play just isn't good enough. Should be losing and getting outplayed by Burnley, it's embarrassing

Some of the players are pretty near being fit again so the results matter way more than the performances at the moment.just got to wait to get those players back.

that midfield balance looks horrible though. Don’t like this diamond formation at all.

It is not diamond, Rasmus is alone at the top with Rashford playing left.

We play the game as if this is championship league final. The opponent looks like prime Barcelona.
I know we need a result today though. This is like Jose as manager.

He needs to weather the storm for the next 5 games. Win whichever way it is.

Get confidence back then we see where it takes us to

These performances don't fly after 1 year.
We are horrible on the ball. It's easy to call the players lazy but we are clearly clueless when we have it that's why we resort to Hollywood passes. He was bad, but the last time a manger really tried to improve us on the ball was lvg.

It does makes sense to play two holding midfielders infront of Evans and Lindelof... I do agree, though, its not looking good. McTominay is often out of position and im just happy Burnley isnt good enough to exploit it.

I'm not sure the long ball was even his idea, the commentators seemed to suggest it was Evans clever improvisation

Lack of confidence is always trotted out as a excuse. Have these players ever managed to go more than a week without losing confidence?

We're playing the same old shit but lucky for us we have a piss easy run coming starting today. It would be ridiculous to not defeat relegation fodder and I think United haven't reached that rock bottom level yet so here's that.

Watch Ten Hag fans turn today's win into a miracle though.

As a lot keep saying, injuries etc so let's see how we do when they're all fit etc. I don't hold out much hope though as we've been poor since Feb not just this season so far with various starters. We'll see though. All we can do is hope

Diamond is wrong, I meant the lack of natural width. The base of of Casemiro and McTominay with Hannibal pressing forward and Bruno tucking in from the right. Have been impressed with Hannibal’s energy but I still feel you can get amongst the midfield.

As I said in the matchday thread, I swear United is the only team in the world who struggle to make few successful passes in a row.

Even Burnley who are a shitty relegation fodders can pass the ball well.

United is allergic to playing good football.

Arguably some of the worst football in the post Alex Ferguson era, it's like watching paint dry

He had some good subs last season but no subs by minute 75 after playing 2 days earlier is a joke.

Yep. His in game management has been the most disappointing thing about him since he joined
It’s ridiculous. He can clearly see Burnley are on top at the minute and sometimes alls it takes is a sub or 2 and the game goes back in your favour. So dumb

Was all in for ETH. But over the last few weeks his team selection and in game decisions have been gash even allowing for all the injuries.

Some, and I think he didn't do very well in terms of squad rotation last season.

Having said that, a manager is not a fitness expert. That's why we have specialists.
True. It's been an issue at the club as long as I can remember, which tells me it's probably another area we've neglected and remained behind the times in.

He’s been here long enough to have implemented some kind of style! This is atrocious!
