Well something needs doing with the midfield because it isn't working either in attack or defence at the moment.We still can't get it right in Midfield. If Casemiro is sold in January we need to bring in Andre. Mainoo should be given his chance now.
Lazy and annoying piece.https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...pose-clear-style-on-mundane-manchester-united
Who's even thinking there's something more to this victory? This guy has created a straw man I believe.
What position do you think we need to improve to start scoring goals? Striker seems the most obvious but there is no one in the Academy or U21s anywhere near Hojlund.We can't buy a goal atm.Need to find someone who can kickstart a goalscoring spree for us ASAP. We may have to bring someone up from Academy or under 21s.
You’re only annoyed because it’s trueLazy and annoying piece.
Didn't mention anything about dropping Hojlund. It's someone to help him i'm talking about. Rashford and Antony don't seem to work and although Garnacho is trying hard we still can't buy a goal.What position do you think we need to improve to start scoring goals?

No, I'm annoyed because it just puts the obvious into a current narrative template. It would have been more appropriate after the Fulham game, here there were actually quite a few positives. But that's how it is - on the way down we get better press than we deserve, once the negative view has been entrenched we get it worse than we deserve. Like they're writing on delay.You’re only annoyed because it’s true
They usually do this though so people don’t accuse them of over reacting to one game, and the appetite for these kind of articles only increases when more and more people are starting to come to an agreement that things are actually shit. All the stories about the players have been sat on for weeks and they’ve just started coming out also. It’s called keeping your powder dry.No, I'm annoyed because it just puts the obvious into a current narrative template.

He acts like we won 4-0 but only had an xG of 1.5 versus Luton's 3.6.Lazy and annoying piece.
Who are all doing no better than MountThey are natural midfielders....
Our xG was about same as Liverpool's in the 7-0 against us.He acts like we won 4-0 but only had an xG of 1.5 versus Luton's 3.6.
Christ.Well something needs doing with the midfield because it isn't working either in attack or defence at the moment.
Eriksson looks done. Absolutely no legs.
McTominay is an ok 8, terrible 6. He will never get to play 8 effectively with Bruno in the team as they are in each others way.
And it actually should have been higher. Garnacho's one on one chance was only valued at 0.08xG, due to him making the goalscoring opportunity significantly worse with his extra touch. Rashford's biggest chance measures at 0.26 even after making a similar mistake. Fine margins in decisive moments and all that.The XG backs up immediate impressions regarding chance creation and general performance: 2.74. It's been quite a long time since we had as much as 2, last against Fulham it was 0.7.
Edit: Actually, it's our second highest xG in the PL this season, only the Forest game was higher.
It took about 2 years for people to learn Maguire. So you'll have to give people more time for the slightly more difficult Eriksen.Christ.
You mean it’s not Macquire?It took about 2 years for people to learn Maguire. So you'll have to give people more time for the slightly more difficult Eriksen.
I've checked the shirt I foolishly bought about 3 or 4 years ago, and no, it's deffo Maguire.You mean it’s not Macquire?
It certainly suits the doom mongers on here. Perhaps I'm hopelessly optimistic but soon than later Rashford will start scoring again and he will go from being dross to being one of the best players on the planet....overnightI didn't think it was as bad as I see the reactions in here. We need to start being clinical, we created several clear cut chances we didn't take, against a side who came to defend.
Small improvements, but I am seeing them. Shaw and Martinez need to come back pronto though, I can't stand to see us playing out from the back as it stands.
I think I'm giving Rashford an extra long leash, as I thought we should have sold him to PSG couple of seasons ago - then he went on to have a blinder of a season. I hope the faith is not misplaced, but as you say, he surely has to revert to the mean at some point? That would be a massive improvement from what we're getting now.It certainly suits the doom mongers on here.
