It is well o. Because as the years go buy we lose our bite and status.
Liverpool were oga in England until they slept off and we took over.

It will be wise for the club to think twice and start a proper rebuild with patience.

Look for a solid coach out there. Support him according to his demands. Not asking him to make do with what he has because the players are good enough to beat Brighton.
They'll mouth off rebuild but don't have the patience to see out the rebuild. A rebuild for us will be a painful process considering all the mess the club is in.

They should stop patching it up and allow a proper rebuild.

7 new players joined the club in the last 18 months. How come the new players are also struggling?

Was it Rashford that caused Bruno to make his 1st pass of the game in the 23rd minute a few days ago?

Is it Shaw and Maguire that make us cover low KMs in games?

The club has also been signing players and also incuring losses. City the FFP violators are not the only ones in that regard. How much did we buy Antony and how much was he sold eventually?

Didnt we also bin Hojlund when we discovered he wasnt good enough?

Angel Di Maria?

Yeah we have dead woods that need to be offloaded no doubt. We could definitely do with some upgrades especially with regards to some of the old guards.

However, we cannot play badly vs the likes of Hull then blame the loss on the presence of Maguire and Shaw.

We fail to beat 10 man Spurs with that horrible display then start talking about Dalot.

If beating 10 man Everton at OT is now perceived as a request for the manager to perform miracles, i really don't know what to say again.
If you read my post again, you will notice I said Amorim a Carrick incompetence aside.

My point is simple, while the manager might be incompetent, it doesn't excuse the foolishness of some of our players. When you buy new players into a dysfunction squad, sooner rather than later they will copy whatever culture they meet on ground. For a team to function optimally, all section must play their part well, if the midfield is moving high up the pitch and defense still stays deep in their box, it will leave enormous gaps for the midfielders to cover should they lose the ball.

Football is all about who wants it the most, if you don't put in the efforts, you will not beat Hull City even if you have better players on paper. You need to understand this.

What we should be advocating for is good manager + good players and a board who will give the manager freedom to run the team as their own without interference. Once the board start interfering, it will begin to undermine the manager and before you know it, the players start doing whatever they like, that's wher Player FC get their powers from.

Finally, other sensible teams knows how to negotiate and sell players, maybe our own board should get competent people too so we can move on from players quickly and get new ones in.

And to finally put a stop to the repeated myth here, hiring and firing at will hasn't help most clubs especially in the PL. All clubs that has achieved consistent success in the EPL has been club with stability of managers. Post SAF, the successful teams has been the teams with stable managers

City - Guardiola
Liverpool - Klopp
And currently Arsenal are reaping the benefits of staying the course with Arteta.

Since Chelsea began their hiring and firing at will, they haven't won the league in close to 10yrs. Is that the model we too want to continue on?

Like odizzey rightly said, when we are actually serious about building a team, we will calm down and let a manager actually build a team and give the process time. Till then we can continue to hire and fire and see where it will lead us. It's already 13yrs without a league title, let's keep reliving the old memories instead of forging ahead.

Unfortunately for him,the coach would be the fall guy if he fails to influence them to get the desired results at this moment.

If the next manager also realises midway on the back of poor results, he would also be kicked out
Lol. You'll just be setting up the next manager too to fail.

Was this not the same thing I was talking during Amorim time? Away from Amorim and Carrick incompetence, we have to be honest about the level of our players too and not expecting managers to do miracles.

I said it then that you cannot be ruthless when it comes to managers hiring and firing at will while pampering underperforming players but no you guys see criticism of the players as support for Amorim.

Look at City, they bought Tijjani Rejinders, Nico and Marmoush within 2yrs and they have offloaded them because they were not performing as they expected. When KDB legs were gone, they didn't waste time to move him on but at this club we'll continue to pamper average Joe's while laying all blames at the feet of the managers.

Another manager will come, we'll still be parading Maguire x Licha as starting CBs with Shaw and Dalot as full backs and we'll be wondering why we still concede goals in loads.

See how City pummel Liverpool immediately they collected red.

We have played against 2 teams that collected red this season and we only got 1 point out of a possible 6.

Ridiculous

You are right. They may win one at least one trophy this season. Let’s see.
You do know we are already out of the EFL cup right?

Another Netflix special. Siddon look mode activated.
There's no difference between Conte and Amorim. Just that Conte knows how to win league. Both are stubborn and it's their way or the highway.

This. Very stubborn manager. Unfortunately, he learnt his lessons after getting sacked. Young stupid managers!
I'm still not sure that man has learnt anything. He has one stupid ego.

chrisley024:
i think this is partly due to the midfielders, reduced alot when Baleba came in. On the tactical side, could be cuz Bruno stay upfront alot, sometimes as false CF
Baleba came in when Spurs players were already tired and not pressing again. And Yes the set up makes no sense, Bruno has no business contesting space with the CF

We are doomed grin

There’s no way Man Utd replaces 6 senior players in one or even two transfer windows
Of course, those that need to be immediately shipped out are Rashford, Dalot and Shaw. Maguire, Martinez, Mazariou and Bruno can be let go over 2 transfer window.

We are not fit. Tielemans already unwittingly exposed us when he joined, when he revealed that our preseason training was less intensive than he was used to at Villa.
It's kuku showing. No wonder Tielemans now look so slow on the ball. I wonder what they are doing in training tbh. Be like na just ball work.

I remember the doom and gloom I felt when world cup ended because I knew it was back to watching rubbish football every week.

This team is not ready to be good at all. The next 5 to 10 years we will still be like this with the way the entire club is moving
I wanted to scream today while watching the game, I quickly give my self brain sharp sharp, make Man Utd no kpai me. cheesy

Myopic people that can't see beyond their agenda. After our first 3 games under Carrick it was clear we were winning games on vibes.
I remember you saying we should just struggle through the finished line and make UCL then. If anybody think it just started this season, they obviously wasn't paying attention.

If only Amorim wasn't inept tactically and as stubborn as a muse.

Tielemans became a snail after getting to Utd. He forgot out to run and be aware. We don’t do anything during training sessions seh.
Have you seen our buildup? It doesn't involve much running. Those running every game time are the wingers. Our play is so laborious that teams just waltz through our midfield like knife through butter.

We play as if we are not fit.

In your own opinion, who should go out of these senior players and who should stay?
Rashford
Shaw
Dalot
Maguire
Mazariou or whatever his name is
Martinez
Bruno

In that particular order.

I agree. But Bentacur was stupid with the reaction. Typically, the reaction or second offence gets punished.
That doesn't make sense. Shaw pushed it and then went up head to head with him after he stood up. If Bencataur is getting a red, Shaw should be getting one too.

.....Mbeumo, to me, is terrible always as a CF. It's better we play with Zirkzee than having him or Cunha at 9.

Meanwhile.....Carrick's stint should be off by now.
Mbeumo is way better as a CF than Zirkzee please
