At least partly at fault for the first goal, but mostly very good.
This is what I was about to say.Was one of our better players, hopefully he doesn't settle into the United malaise too soon.
He did. In the first 10 mins when we were actually good going forward he put in good crosses and was our best playerThis lad started putting crosses into the box AFTER Hojlund went off FFS. Why the f-k didn't he do that when his giant striker was on the pitch? Defending is not his forte but if he has the sense to try and get Hojlund in this might work out okay.
Match fitness is lacking. He took part in 12 games total last season, didn't have a proper pre-season. We were chasing and being desperate which meant even more running for the full backs than usual so fresh legs were needed.No idea why he was subbed off as well. I really don't understand Ten Hag's decisions today. Was he putting crosses too often to ETH's liking?
He did pick up the knock at the corner post a bit before coming off, so maybe he was just struggling with that. Alternatively I don't think he's played much football in the last 12 months so might have been struggling to last the 90.Taking him off killed any last ambers of hope. Don't understand the late substitutions
Has Martial ever headed the ball? Who’s he going to cross to? Reguilón was probably gassed, probably hasn’t played with that intensity for a year.No idea why he was subbed off as well. I really don't understand Ten Hag's decisions today. Was he putting crosses too often to ETH's liking?
so you didn't see him turn to the bench and infer he was running low on gas?No idea why he was subbed off as well. I really don't understand Ten Hag's decisions today. Was he putting crosses too often to ETH's liking?
he switches off constantly, and even if he was more defensively minded he is so weak.Defensively is really poor. Playing traditional fullback role, he is a liability. Attacking play is good.
A faster wing player can easily run behind.he switches off constantly, and even if he was more defensively minded he is so weak.
i liked him with us. But what happened to him today constantly happened, and once he knows he’s beaten he doesn’t know to be an extra player in the box.A faster wing player can easily run behind.
Can only presume you didn't catch Cucurella's performance against us for Brighton in that case.I was very pleasantly surprised by his debut. Certainly better than anything I've seen from Cucurella in a Brighton or Chelsea shirt.
