Leyqute:


ETH and his coaches didn’t manage the guy well. He just promoted him to starting XI position and refused to give him rest when he should. I think the same thing is affecting Mainoo a bit too.

Of course it will affect them. Hopefully they are able to rest enough during the preseason

Englishisamust:

I don't see those wide spaces in the midfield anymore

Our midfield play has improved. What changed? No more injuries?

Leyqute:
Genuine question: what is wrong with Garnacho?

Is it fatigue? He’s been very bad of recent. Abysmal in fact. Does he need some time out?

Of course he needs timeout. He has not been managed properly this season. We had Rashford, Antony, Garnacho and Amad, but ETH will rather continuously play the same people everyday until the criticism becomes too much or injuries happen

TrebleChamp:
Bro Rashford should not be part of the new team setup, that boy is looking like a bad influence to his teammate. How many times did he turn up late for training this season, or go clubbing night before a game? I really hope the new people will sell him if an offer comes or let him run down his contract and gedifvck out...

Leyqute:


I don’t even want a luxury player like Rashford in the team sef. It creates cracks in the squad. Other players would be thinking, “why should I be the one running around and marking while Rashford loses the ball and strolls around”?

They may be okay with it but when Rashford fails to score in 6 games, no one will want to work while he’s useless.

Even Ronaldo was putting in shifts defensively when he was banging in goals during his first stint at United. It was when his outputs went crazy that he was given some leeway defensively. And even at that, he wasn’t as lazy as this current Rashford

LMAO and I thought I was the biggest Rashford hater
Rashford problem is his mentality. And it's something a good coach can work on. We already know he has the skills and can deliver. I still have some faith in him but only if we have a solid team that can cover his excesses

Leyqute:


100% agree.

We may not even need to sign any yeye star sef. Cos the fan base might’ve propelled any of the new signings into stardom.

Apart from that we already have players with stardom in their dna- Bruno and Gernacho.

True. Rashford may even rediscover himself and start delivering again. If we have a solid defense and midfield, he won't need to contribute that much defensively

Leyqute:


I think we should spend a lot now, and then make one or two additions in the next windows to improve the side.

That’s what City, Liverpool and Arsenal did. In Pep’s case sha, he was spending more than the competition even after he’d won the league.

Yes we should definitely spend that much now. But seeing that we didn't get Qatar owners, I don't know if we can. Looking at the wage we will be releasing, we should be able to spend 300-400m in this transfer window na

Leyqute:
Man Utd strikers are always starved.

See how frustrated Ronaldo was here. We made over 3 crosses in the space of 30 secs and none of them were accurate.

No wonder Hojlund resorted to pitch wrestling.

Hojlund that hardly gets any chance. He has to be fighting all over the pitch for the ball

Leyqute:
Ollie Watkins.

Good or bad business?

Good business, unless he cost more than 50m

Leyqute:


100% agree.

But we have to be really shrewd this time around. Instead of splashing money unnecessarily on shiny or marquee signings, we should recruit what’s right for the squad and build a solid base with a long term mindset.

We need at least 6 new guys who can come straight into the starting XI or at the least compete adequately for starting positions.

Exactly why I said some time ago, we don't need to run after any nonsense so called super star now. Recruit technical players from around the world for cheap and spend the next season to actually play learn to play a team that understands each other. Once we have a stable team full of technical hard workers that understand what it means to play for the club, we can get a couple of stars to take the club to the next level. For me, its a 2-3 years project. But we have to see the plan from day 1

Mrviktor:
where is the money
If we don't sell greeny Nd Sancho we fuked.

FFP will his us hard.
If not now in about 2-3 years time

Greeny as in Greenwood? How much can we make from the sale of Greenwood? 20m? He is already a player the club said they do not want, so we will be lucky to get anything above that.

If we buy most of the players we need to buy now, so we don't need to spend in the next 2-3 seasons, we will be fine. We won't have FFP issues. Normally in 2-3 years, we should be able to spend a net of 300m, yeah? That's 50m per player for 6 players which is reasonable as long as we don't run after those shiny, unnecessarily expensive players. If we spend that whole lot now, and don't spend again unless we sell for the next 3 years, we will be fine

Leyqute:


Of the 10 players you listed, only 2-3 appeared in 50% of our games this season.

Even if we didn’t sell them, they needed to be replaced in the squad. There’s no use in paying for a subscription service that is no longer useful for you.

I tire o. You can imagine the relief on our wage structure when we throw all these players away. They were either not even useful or always injured.

We should be able to buy at least 6 new players in this transfer window. We need new CB, ST, DM, CM and wingers

Sorry wrong thread

Goal ball

Leyqute:


Be like say the juju wey him do for the last couple of months has expired. Man has gone back to his old ways.

They lost too many clean chances. Hopefully they only get much better and improve on this

Leyqute:


The kid is very annoying in this second half. See the chance he just lost!

See una wheatley o smh

oasis007 are we really buying for commercial purposes or just buying anyhow?

AdisaOwala:


Yeah

It's more of a case where people are calling in sick for "slight headaches" and Catarrh.

ETH has lost the dressing room apparently and the players are simply not bothered again.

I wouldn't be surprised if most of them already have the "no be him go coach us next season" mentality already, so they couldn't care less.

That's why they should be sent away or sent to the bench till their contract expires. We need a coach with balls to do this, but then this coach has to be able to actually coach and manage players. Like bring in junior players to fill more spaces and throw these ones to the bench, while we buy new players with better mindset, talent and workrate

I agree with Rooney. Most of the senior players have downed tools for this season and hiding behind injuries to avoid playing. Its not like they were even playing anything before, just to avoid criticism. They did the same last season, the season before and the ones before that. If most of them are still our core players here next season, we will have another very bad season

hatakekakashi:

We would have surely attacked better and likely scored.

Hahaha you're funny

Why is nobody checking White's movement during corner kicks?

Leyqute:


I don’t understand it either.. E be like film trick for my eye

Make we dey watch

nitrogen:


Don’t be fooled. There is enough space. Arsenal is not playing well today. Small team for don waya us 2-3 goals by now.

This is not just on Assnal not playing well. We're more disciplined in the midfield today.

Leyqute:


Baldfraud don shape up. We’re not leaving huge gaps in midfield as usual. Arsenal are playing long balls a lot

I'm actually trying to understand the reason why we're not leaving huge gaps in the midfield. Is it because Amrabat is not straying away from his position, or the midfield is just disciplined today or Bruno is absent

Unlimited22:

Nothing
Sorry sir

Better be. Like this is not the first game or second Bruno is missing

Arsenal are playing more cautiously than I expected

Unlimited22:
I don't even like him much but you will respect Bruno Fernandes by fire by force

What would have happened differently if Bruno was in the game today?

odizeey:

And he was pursuing him like mad.

Even chelsea would have been surprised at the level stupidity.

I'm sure they threw a party after the deal

Ellexy:
We need them oo.

Not at this stage. We need a team first

We don't need spectacular or super players. What we need is a team that play together as a team and understand each other to a very large extent. Everyone doing their own bit and covering for each other

Out of 11 players that started today, 7 were players bought after ETH became our manager

If ETH survives this season, I will just write off next season. There is no magic that wants to happen
