absolutely right call to make. we need to make meaningful changes, not knee jerks again. There are players here that failed previous managers too that need to improve or leave: Rashford, AWB, Dalot, Lindelof, MCT, Sancho
Players that ETH signed that need to improve or leave: Onana, Antony
For all his faults, ETH had really bad luck, I have yet to see Mount integrated. Casemiro, Varane, Martinez, Malacia, AWB and Shaw all injured for long period of time. Then you have a new erratic goalkeeper to deal with.
For our forwards, we really have no one else. Martial's been injured, Hojlund injured for a period too, Sancho is sulking, Rashford is being Rashford. Bruno overplayed again. Garnacho is young. So what can you do?
There are certaintly managers out there that can do better but 1 there is no guarantee until we try it out, 2, they may not want to come over. ETH doesn't seem to have a plan B, he doesn't seemed to flexible with changes. But the thing is we never really gotten a chance to see his plan A which was what we got him in for.
I know it sucks when we lose to teams we think we should beat but it will continue to suck when we have this false picture that our players are top drawer that should beat anyone with a good manager at the helm. The other time when we played Aston Villa, I can't think of any of our players that can slot into their team, maybe Bruno at a stretch.
