Ten Hag's team? Man U will play Jigawa Golden stars and still be dragging 1nil victory.

Thank God we scored and played relatively well, we've seen the likes of Burnley outplay us before.

LMAO I was hopeful. Thank God we won

Nothing to be excited about. Unto the next game

There is still time for 2 more goals

Leyqute:
75% possession but your opponent get more shots on target than you.

Most of the shots are rushed. They should pass the ball around patiently, make better off the ball runs and choose their shots carefully

larride:
This man dey smoke weed.

They need to arrest his weed dealer

larride:
He's looking lost because he is LOST.

But where did the ETH the world spoke of go to? This current one looks like a shadow of himself and it pains me

patrickmuf:
If scoring goals is a problem, at least tighten your defense so that you can scrap through wins by a goal margin...

The annoying part is that it is not as if we are an ultra attacking team hence the alarming number of goals we have conceded o! We will have 7 players in our half yet 5 players from the opponent will slice us open...

You will see 4 defenders in the box against 2 attackers but the attackers will still score.

We will have the numbers this minute, and the next second they're gliding through the midfield and defense with very little resistance. Other coaches will be shouting at their players when they misbehave but our own ETH will be chewing gum, looking lost.

Eph12,
I heard we played good football before the red card, how true?

cc; kozmicity

Maybe we did. I missed both goals. I was still working when the match started

Patrick don vex

Nice game. Once Martinez and Shaw is back, the team will become very solid

Ellexy:
Home many goals this team don concede like this this season

Teams just dey spread our nyash anyhow

And someone was asking me how we're piped this season lol

olabode89:
they better give us our pk

The referee and var shot themselves in the foot when they awarded that one against Maguire. Now they have to be consistent. I think ETH needs to talk about this more

odizeey:
Anyone defending Rashford is not worth arguing with. It's a lost cause.

Use that time you want to use for such arguments to do better things like watching paint dry.

You're correct

ChristoBam:
I know he's been poor so far but he literally just got back from injury. It was obvious from minute one he wasn't that sharp.

You're going hard on him like the red card came directly from a flaw of his. It was a mistake.

Can't be telling you how to react but it's better to be objective than emotional.

What is the objectivity here? Rashford hasn't been shit for months now?

ChristoBam:
He'll start the next game. And the game after his suspension. When he starts scoring, y'all will move to the next target.

Because he got an unlucky red card suddenly you're trying to scream ' I told you so'.

Not because of his red card. He is very nonchalant. If he was trying his best but not scoring or even assisting, I'll be eagerly waiting for his return to form. But how does someone that is not even trying return to form?

You don't have to score a goal to be useful to the team. Not everything is scoring

He should go and think about his life and career. He is even a waste of space in the team currently

Same Rashford that Christobam swore he will go on hunger strike if ETH does not play him

chrisley024:
So Garnacho didn't make a pass there.

Hojlund 2nd goal

He was supposed to pass there. He's lucky we scored that goal

ChristoBam:
The only player I've argued shouldn't be benched in the whole team is Rashford. So I don't know what you're on about. Like I said, you're only elongating argument unnecessarily.

You're the one that likes to elongate argument unnecessarily. Of all the players you listed, Rashford is the only player that has started consistently. Why would you or anyone want to argue for players that do not start consistently to be benched?

ChristoBam:
You're not answering if we should have played according to the plan even with those injuries. 70m Hojlund, 80m Antony won't play CBs in an highline and buildup from the back.

Evans was our best player some week ago. Maguire and Onana are both praised for this last match. Onana saved a last minute penalty some days ago. Are Maguire and Evans that have been our best players in some matches recently not the CBs we're parading? Highline, lowline, what the fvck are the rest of the team playing?

Where are we clueless the most this season?

ChristoBam:
No, you can't be asking me that question when every week, y'all come here to talk about how Rashford never does this or that, how Mctominay got outrun by this person, how Martial is as lazy as a snail, Sancho is bla bla, Erikson is this and that.

You then ask me which players are not capable of doing these things. That's like elongating talks unnecessarily.

But you don't agree when we suggest some of these players to be benched citing this same reason. You can't now be complaining about this same thing yourself

ChristoBam:
Don't ask me. Y'all list them every week here.

This is how you always try to dodge responsibility. Better change

ChristoBam:
Doesn't matter if it's a million starters, the whole backine Is gone. You think we should still try the higline, with MountxBruno midfield with Evans and Maguire as our Center backs?

Even with a complete team, we'd still be learning the ropes and struggling with some aspects initially. We'd have probably seen Onana concede some goals like the one we saw in that friendly.

What do you mean by it doesn't matter? Are the ones there broom? Are they not better than what some of the clubs we have played against parade?

ChristoBam:
Last season, our defense was unarguably the strongest part of our team.

We've now mostly played all season with all of them out.

With the purchase of Onana and Mount, the gameplan going into the season was obvious. Part of what you're seeing so far is results of a team that has temporarily shelved the plans going into the season and is now trying to get something out from each game.

No team trying to build a system and style of play should be faced with these types of injuries. But we've been so unlucky.

Even when you still have at least 8-10 solid starters? Some of them were bought with about 100m by the same coach

ChristoBam:
That's the difference in a team like Newcastle and a team of divas like United.

Even though I don't like our recruitment, every player we've purposely splashed money on are capable of running their socks off all game. It's something Ten Hag wants also. But check out what most of what the leaks from Mark, Luckhurst are about.

Who are the players that are not capable of putting in a lot of work currently in the team?

The quality in the team barely allow us to scrape past the Burnleys, Sheffield of this world, and you say we're not getting piped

ChristoBam:
Getting piped every match? United? Check the table bruv. Even the Newcastle y'all seem to love are only two points ahead.

We're literally playing Evans and Maguire at CB. Like I said, try anything apart from being pragmatic in these circumstances and you'll get the sack.

Our goal difference is literally the worst in the top 10 at -4. Where is the pragmatic when we have just two to three people saving the team every game? If its not Evans, its Maguire or Onana. The same Evans and Maguire o.

Leyqute:
Newcastle’s midfield duo of Bruno and Joelinton is more defensively solid than Casemiro with any of our midfielders.

First of all, the whole team run their socks off every game, so that solidity you're seeing is because others are not slacking and closing spaces. If others are not running their socks off, you won't be interested in a Bruno and Joelinton combination.

Secondly, do you think there is a fingerprint of the coach on the team? Or no matter who is there, that solidity will be there?

ChristoBam:
He'll play attacking football and end up getting heavily piped match after match, then end up with the sack.

He is not playing "attacking football" and still getting piped almost every match

Leyqute:
Yup.

Midfield of Amrabat, Bruno and any third person you want to add? How?

Leyqute:
We still have a poor midfield though, when it comes to defense.

Compared to Newcastle?

Leyqute:
He still had Fabian Schaar and Tripper.

Weve had our starting back 4 from last season injured.

If Howe coached our injury ravaged squad, will they play haram football or not?

Most of the players ETH still has to call upon are supposed to be better than what Howe has though
