Boss this will never work for a stupid defender like dalot and Maguire Assuming bissaka can replace dalot we still fit manage the formation. We that we are suffering to keep clean sheet we go dey use 3 defender which 2 are useless

We use this instead

Dalot, Evans, varane, lindelof

Casemiro, Amrabat
Mount
Antony/Hannibal/fernades, Hojlund , gernacho.

That was what I was expecting that coconut head to use!!!

You are already 0-3 down!
Dalot, Evans lindelof 😁🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️
Remove Mount, the fans here said ETH is not suppose to buy him.
Remove Antony/Fernades; your frontline is only Hannibal, Hojlund , gernacho. according to the arguments here.


And if there is any individual player error, who do we blame??

kozmicity:
Players.

No way, the manager has to go! 😂😁🤣

kozmicity:
I swear🤣🤣

Right now, I can't be pissed at man u now, I don shutdown any emotions wey I get, na only cruise remain.

Even if its a back 3 I won't start Martinez but I'd replace Maguire for Shaw. And I'll pick Maguire over Lindelof in a back three any day. Varane starts because he's definitely not getting benched and he's tall... We need to neutralize aerial threats as much as we can. Heck!! I'd start McTom over Lindelof in a back three.

Rashford should continue doing what he does as regards to shooting, but his dribbling can be better. Antony or Pellestri I'm good with... Its not as if their differences are much.

I no dey even watch una match again.
Just check scores after it has been played and watch highlight.

Abeg I have better things to do with my life.

kozmicity, with your formation;
What about when the players keep making individual errors to concede from game to game, who do we blame?
the players or the manager?

odizeey:
I nominate Christobam

ChristoBam, you've been summoned

kozmicity:
It won't... It looks suicidal, but it isn't. Casemiro and Amrabat do defensive duties, that's 5 players. We progress slowly and build play, nothing like counter whatever.

And like I said also, we defend the box and against crosses, unless we believe say Onana no go fit save shots from outside the box 18.

Not even implemented, yet the debate is on
Managers are really trying.

kozmicity:
How hard can it be to switch formation to 3-2-4-1?

Dalot-Varane-Maguire

Amrabat-Casemiro

Antony-Bruno-Hannibal-Rashford
Hojlund.


You can rotate the midfield as required. And when progressing, allow only Dalot go forward and Casemiro drop deep, you can rotate Bruno and Hannibal for Eriksen, Mount, Gore, Mainoo or even McTom.

Antony and Rashford play as wide forwards.

Or he just use a 3-4-3 box midfield with the same setup. On paper, this is the best way to get the best out of each player in their position.


Train our CB's to defend the box and crosses... Heck, you could even play a high line with it.

If Maguire plays and makes mistakes (which he will), who are we going to blame?
ETH of course. We the fans have trolled Maguire into oblivion, but I will still prefer Magiure to Lindalof.

How about Antony? DJ spinal? Fans prefer Pellistri to him

Rashford is already starting to lose confidence in his shooting. Very soon we will also start complaining he does not shot anymore.

Bruno? The debate here is that is he part of our problem and should be benched?

How about Varane? too rusty, sloppy, etc...

So virtually all our players are our problem, as stated by we the fans.
You see where I am going?

Am I saying they are playing well? Hell no!
But remember our players are also on social media...when we troll their confidence out, this is what we get...

In summary, let's troll our players with wisdom, they are all we've got.

eph12:
By now this team should even start attempting to pass in tight spaces, and closing down opponents passing channels so they’re forced to release the ball or go long. But we have none of that happening. Instead our midfield can just become express for no reason. What has ETH introduced to the team in one year that he has been here?

lol, last season was wasted trying to win a trophy for odizeey, so that the player's morale can be boosted.

p.s: odizeey, you know I am trolling here. Just laugh it off.

nitrogen:
Anything above[b] three years is long term[/b]. It doesn’t mean that we should keep an underperforming manager for three years, we get rid of such manager if there is no improvement. Also, it does not mean we should sack a performing manager after 3 years. If a manager does well in 2 out of 3 seasons, and we make top 4 and win Carabao cup in the third year, it’s not a sackable performance.

This should be the standard, heck even mid table teams get this. We are doing it, and it’s fine. Unfortunately some fans are not getting it, they are still trying to see if we can get another Fergie era.

Well nice point though.

Anyways I don't know how this football ish works but I believe it takes most successful businesses more than 3 years to even take off.

Patrickmuf1:
Why are you asking guys to mention options like there's none?

That is how you guys kept on asking people to mention options during the summer like they're no good players in the market yet other clubs keep getting them for half the price we use to sign overrated flops.

Now, you are back sounding like apart from ETH, there are no good coaches out there.

Pat, mention one good manager that is willing to take up the job at Man U now...

odizeey:
We can only talk here. United upper chambers members no dey here.

Or will you carry the suggestions to Uk

Yes we can only talk here. So talk; which manager do you recommend for Man U?

nitrogen:
I think that we are used to having a long term manager because of the Fergie era. Why have we not moved on, after more than a decade? Why can’t we keep firing managers until we get it? It’s looking like we made a mistake with ETH, he is obviously a rookie, what did Chelsea do to Potter after realizing their mistake?

If ETH can’t get his boys to win games, it might be a good time to move on! It is what it is!

how many years is long term for you nitrogen?

dreamxhaser:
Guys watch this Piers Morgan interview with Ibrahimovic and see the reason why we dey tell una say 10hag dey fvk up.

The guy no sabi manage United



https://www.tiktok.com/video/7285688006965595424/

At this point, which coach do you recommend will save Man U?

Pointing out problems without recommending solution does no one any good.

andrewbaba44:
Maguire >>>> lindelof

100%.

eph12:
I'm watching Onana long balls during the match yesterday and probably all failed to meet the target or be anything useful. I can't fault the gk just like I couldn't fault DDG for this last season. We have people that are not ready to contest long balls in our team. Only Hojlund is currently trying to win those long balls.

As for if Onana has it in him to win matches for us, I seriously doubt that.

No individual player can help Man U at the moment. A collective synergy is required.

eph12:
And it will get worse if they don't get their act together. All three goals were avoidable. One mistake was enough but 3 mistakes? I know they can do better and should do better.

100%

Just for laugh: all of us would have piled the blame on DDG assuming he was still here.

Who is the best Goal keeper now that will save Man U and also defend for them? lol

Manchester United will continue to lose their match this season...until only God knows when.

Why do we keep watching their games, when we know it is going to make us unhappy after each loss?
Is it an addiction or we just can't help ourselves? lol

Onkoolos:
I watch Bellingham yesterday and I was crying for that Bruno fan boy 😭😭😭😭😭. Make he come learn what football is about. That Bruno fan boy should go and watch Napoli and Madrid match again is gonna learn something....

If Man U buys Bellingham today, he will flop like Sancho. 100%

eph12:
We did. Eriksen was a minus one

eph12 this Man U defense is gone!

eph12:
I wish they can release a video of what they do in training. At a point I was hoping they were not going to cross any more balls into crystal palace box. All the crosses were just off

🤣😂

eph12:
I don't really know much about Ange. I was just responding to that comment about Kane and the Tottenham team.

I also still have faith in ETH as he has played some very good football in the past. He just needs to understand he has his own limitations. He is supposed to be building a team so I'm not expecting us to compete for any trophy right now. However he needs to fix the mentality, fitness and system first before personnels. Anyone joining the club has to meet a new single mentality, not people with different mindset and ways. Ragnick called it open heart surgery and it's not just about buying 22 new players

With the way we play, I think some training days, ETH and his boys go just dey smok.e ganj.a, lol

Do they train at all?

eph12:
We will concede the odd goals here and there but I still think our problem has always been our attack. I see no reason why we can't score at least one goal. We need to start scoring a lot of goals to put back the fear of God in some of these teams.

The other day Evans was trolled and he became our best player in the next two games, everyone kept quiet. But our attack has not changed one bit

I agree with you 100%.
It's been a shT1 show.
Only individual brilliance carrying us.

Meanwhile eph12,
I have not seen anyone pointing out how that goal was Lindelof's fault. He just stopped marking that Palace's player.
Lindelof need's to be dropped from the defence.
Just because he was brilliant some few games last season doesn't change the fact that he is not doing a good job recently.

while we want to heap all the blame on ETH, Rashford and co...It's important to discuss the fault of each game.

No sentiment, just enjoying the outcome whatever it is.

eph12:
But Ange was not the coach when Kane was there. How are you sure it's his absence that's making them play better?

It is too early to hype Ange. Let's wait to see how is manages his down days.
You remember how Tuchel started with Chelsea? His down days came...the rest is history.

I still have faith in ETH even though I don't understand his game plan.

Oasis007:


Victory dey sweet sha. No more HagOut, rather fans are seeking for contract extension. LOL!

They are not far yet brother...they are hiding around the corner, any loss or Onana concedes, they will rush in here.
They are around the corner, they are around the corner...

ChristoBam:
Lol I know the football wasn't that great but that was the game plan. I knew immediately I saw the lineup. The target was the 3 points.

Whatever terrible football we played today, we did to protect our backline.

There's no way in hell we'd be exposing a defensive pairing of Lindelof and Evans to counter attacks.

I hope so, because if ETH eventually reverts back to old ways of just winning games with any means necessary, this season will be lost too like last season.

Expert17:
De Gea fans can't move on sha..lol

Btw I didn't get Onana's alert today 🤣

Onana is good.

McTominay should be sold asap!

metodman:
Would I be wrong if I were to say to you that you should give him some more time. It's never easy when you lose that many number of first team players to injury. I think Liverpool had same issues last season

Coo stuff. I'm still with him.

Englishisamust:
But we are winning this one!!!

That is the problem. We win playing like sh1t and fans think we are improving.

So far this has been a sh1t show.
It seems I will soon join the ETH out club. I just can't see any pattern of play whatsoever.

CC: ChristoBam and eph12

eph12:
After one year, the team may have gotten worse. We don't know what to expect from those that have been on injury. Hopefully they are much better than anticipated

The problem is, even when they come back, we are still where we were.

The journey never starts self, lol
