Na this same Brighton high line we struggled against.

Smhs

MRTA7:
I don't see us beating this Forest team. They have a lot of pace

LostMyZeal:
Had a dream last two nights and saw 4 Nil to our favour in the Brighton game.


Stake everything on this CS. Don't sleep on this 🙌

LostMyZeal:
Is it just me or is anyone courageous enough to give mount his flowers and admit to the fact that Fulham regained control and became more audacious after Mount and Amad went off.

I don't know if that was a coaching instruction or confusion but as long as mount was on the pitch, Fulham were playing premium rubbish

Maybe we need more of this confusion when we meet teams that dare to come at us.

Confusion or not, it worked like magic especially in the first half

oyaskii:
I actually started this when it was airing weekly but i had to drop it 5 episodes into S1 because of how slow paced it was, only for me to see years later that it was been touted as one of the best shows ever 😩.

so i duly copped it again recently, and i am still having the same problem, so i ask, does it get better with the pacing, is it more of political espionage rather than action?

Leyqute:
Both players are at fault for the failed chance. You can place more ALL responsibility on Garnacho. I have no problem with that. Personally, I believe Rashford should've done better.

Players have buried worse passes and there are players who would've laid a much better pass.

Lana1:
Rashford did the right thing for once and passed even if it was a terrible pass. However, Garnacho holds 100% of the blame. No way he should be missing this

Lana1:
Maguire is balling again.

Meanwhile, only God knows where Bailly is now. And Smalling is still Smalling. Expert17 must be shaking right now

afrodoc2:
Take a shot against an onrushing in form keeper rather than give your teammate a tap in? This is why City and Liverpool score nearly 100 goals every season while we hustle 50 goals.

Rashford needs to pass that ball 10 times
out of 10. The only change is he should execute it better, and place the ball slightly in front of Garnacho so he can step into the ball and tap into the empty goal.

Selfish wing play and worrying about individual stats and confidence will often limit the overall team performance.

Lana1:
Full Time
Man United 0 - 1 Fulham
Possession: 65% - 35%
Shots: 2 - 20

The match with Arsenal seemed like a continuum of last season. Man United played well. Scored a goal then as usual retreated into a defensive shell in typical Ten Hag cowardly football. Subsequently Arsenal stepped up a gear got an equaliser. Piled on the pressure and got the deserved winner.
It beats me hollow how Ten Hags team retreats into a defensive unit after they score instead of going for the jugular and completely destroying opponents.
The season hasn't started but watching this game brought a sinking feeling that we will not compete again this season.
Ineos definitely made a mistake in renewal of Ten Hags contract. The only good thing is that Ruud Van Nistelroy is probably being readied to step into Ten Hags shoes when he finally gets the inevitable boot!

eph12:
My thoughts and expectations too. Let the players concern themselves with playing better individually and as a team, with a big team mentality. The trophies will follow

patrickmuf:
Zirkzee, the right profile and price.

I am going to suspend my beef with Erik Ten Hag for now. So, going forward, he has my full backing...

Now the management side of the club is fixed and even his backroom staff is taking shape with the addition of RVN and Rene Hake...

I am not expecting us to win the league but a comfortable top 4 finish, the UEL and a domestic trophy is what I expect at the end of the season.

Now, go get De Ligt, Ugarte, Yoro/Braithwaite, another midfielder/right winger...

No big name, just some young hungry footballers. ETH should have no problems working with them.

Katcall:
You niggas should get messi Ronaldo banter out of here. There were many great players that walked the earth. its an insult to keep mentioning these two. Take away goals, Ronaldo is just a nobody. He just happened to make it as a player

Jokerman:
They are not fanning other club legends, only legends of their club... What's wrong with that??

Jokerman:
Many impostors are calling themselves Man UTD fans... One of such is those trolling or against club legends, and another is being happy UTD is finishing top 4 rather than contesting for titles

camri:
Yet onana conceded goals from howlers he caused. You are a big fat liar. criminal

camri:
but onana passed the ball to the opponent often while conceding silly goals

camri:
onana or ederson?

Ellexy:
YES

nitrogen:
Completely agree that if your team possesses the ball 70-80% of the time, then Onana would be okay. He won’t need to face plenty shots and can help with his passing ability while making occasional saves (as needed).

But this past season, we needed a proper shot stopper to avoid conceding stupid straight shot goals. Go check Onana’s 23/24 highlights na.

Ellexy:
Onana with his playstyle will have crazy off days but with a stable defence in front of him, he has shown he's capable of holding his own. One thing he has going is his mentality. He has shown that during his Ajax days, he showed that at Inter as well. He was very instrumental in their run to the CL final.

Even if you pit prime Neuer between the sticks with the way the team defended this season, there won't be much difference in the number of goals conceded. As a matter of fact Onana had the highest goal prevention of any keeper this season in the league.

Let's give him a stable defense and see how far. Same applies to Hoijlund, he was the least passed to from teammates among strikers in the PL this season. Imagine that. They were barely creating anything for him and he was feeding on scraps. Oga turned to a wrestler out of frustration. I pray whoever is in charge next season addresses these issues.

MRTA7:
Do you think "above average" is good enough for where we want to be?

eph12:
He will come good. Probably a little above average. The amount of shots he faced this season is crazy. Nobody deserves that no matter their offense

afrodoc2:
I don’t think he is consistent and reliable enough as a shot stopper and I voiced my concerns before he was bought.

If I wanted to give a critical analysis I would say his reflexes are not the best and his hand is not the strongest. I am also not sure of his aerial prowess.

He will perform better behind a settled defence but let’s not pretend like Onana has not had his shortcomings.

eph12:
Onana is still a good buy. He took some time to settle, and that's understandable considering he just came in and hasn't gotten a constant defensive partnership because of the injuries. ETH's weird tactics also exposed him to a lot of shots. Most goal keepers will struggle under these conditions.

afrodoc2:
Hehehe. Reactionary forces want to rewrite history.

This is like Ole-In coming now to say we should not have sacked Ole because ETH is struggling.

Offloading DDG was not the problem, the choice of his successor was where the club got it wrong.

Leyqute:
You no see say na “hope” precede ETH?
