I think today showed our Midfield depth is really poor beyond the starters, Fred Perreira and Tomato are just not good enough - did feckal against a struggling Reading team.

Precisely. Our second tier players are dissapointing. Not giving the first teamers enough challenge.I think today showed our Midfield depth is really poor beyond the starters, Fred Perreira and Tomatoe are just not good enough - did feckal against a struggling Reading team.
I’m 100% in agreement by the way. Pogba/Matic/Herrera is a top class midfield but our second string are dirt.
They're massively disappointing. Whether it's Jose and now Ole, they've been given more than enough chances total to create doubt in the manager's mind. Fred is a huge disappointment for me but I shouldn't be surprised, it feels like just because City were interested, we were also interested and ended overpaying (just like with Sanchez and his wages)Precisely.

Yeah the first team starters as a machine are probably as good as any in the premier league. Beyond that though, pretty crap.I’m 100% in agreement by the way. Pogba/Matic/Herrera is a top class midfield but our second string are dirt.
Could just be like of game time but on today’s showing I don’t hold much hope.
Literally no one is saying thatHere we go. One bad game and we are all shite again. Wee /z.
I'd go with that feels too, we seem to have done that with Sanchez too maybe?They're massively disappointing.

Totally agree.We have about 11-15 player who are good enough for United and those are our main lineup.
The second string is dreadful and the squad depth is shocking. Our 3 bench midfielders today couldn't control the ball against a team fighting for relegation in championship.
Our squad depth is simply quantity over quality.
I can't see how we're going to win the league with such squad depth to cover for injuries. We used to have pretty strong depth under SAF. Currently we always look like an injury or 2 away from being shite again.
Agreed. Out first Xi is not bad at all, but the gulf in class between them and the backup is just massive. All the chopping and changing we had with new managers after Fergie has done the squad no good. Each manager has done some decent buys, but they also brought a lot of deadwood and i hope to God whoever is in charge in August manages to clean up this mess a bit, especially the back four which is in a pretty dire state imoWe have about 11-15 player who are good enough for United and those are our main lineup.

Midfield depth is great. Our midfield today have barely played and struggled without a first team player in there. It happens.I think today showed our Midfield depth is really poor beyond the starters, Fred Perreira and Tomato are just not good enough - did feckal against a struggling Reading team.
can't say i disagree with much of what you said, on reflection. other than the very first statement due to the uncertainty of the situation.Midfield depth is great. Our midfield today have barely played and struggled without a first team player in there. It happens.
Fred and Pereira in particular are a lot more capable than what they demonstrated today.
