Some questions that I keep asking myself:

How come our own players ALWAYS struggle for fitness?

How come other players from other teams can run for 100mins but ours get tired within 10mins of play?

How come our own players never develop motivation within themselves to win games?

ChristineC:

it's not enough to throw figures around and point fingers. when a manager wants a player, there are people to negotiate fees.

these guys have joined the club under Ten Hag

last season
Malacia (back up LB)
Eriksen (did a job last season. who really expected longevity here)
Martinez (excellent signing, overpaid for no reason)

season kicked off
Casemiro (necessary panic buy)
Antony (overpaid due to incompetence)
Dubravka GK (loan)
Butland GK
Weghorst (loan)
Sabitzer (loan)

this season
Mount (price aside, only Ten Hag can explain this guy)
Evans ( wetin be this)
Onana GK
Højlund (we will assess)

Eriksen and Casemiro should have replacements waiting in the wings already. expecting much from them this season is self deceit.
we still have basically same midfield from last season minus Fred and Sabitzer.
there's loads of deadwood to clear out. the reason the management is reluctant to clear out is because they don't want to dig into the market and replace these guys.
maybe the manager had big hopes for the young injured Mainoo, but is that enough replacement?this is not me exonerating Ten Hag of all blames. he gets his fair share, however the board advocates on this space constantly try to paint a picture of massive investments and it's blatant false projections.
Erm I'm not sure if you're trying to say 500m in 13+ months is not massive enough? Whether the players are back up or excellent or watin be this, was 500m not spent? Shouldn't we be asking questions why the coach allowed certain transfers? Was he promised a blank cheque?

She tried to make every transfer useless. Also, like ETH is handicapped and could not influence anything related to player transfer in the last two seasons. We signed players that ETH worked with in the past ffs! God dey!

Họjlund never kick one ball for us and they're already dragging the guy. I no understand the logic at all. Who fit explain?

How you wan take explain without evidence? grin grin

I'm yet to see Hojlund play, but I really do hope he does very well. We need goalscoring consistency up there, not Weghorst type of consistency.

I don't know how this team suddenly became weaklings. Last season, we were majorly the bullies that bullied other teams, always aggressive and asserted ourselves physically. I wonder what happened.

It's the board's fault - ETH asked that they sign a motivator but they refused. sad

Both!

Some of these players were either unnecessary or the worst options available. Why will ETH sanction 100m for Antony if he does not believe Antony is one of the best option available? Or he wasn't aware until the club had paid the money and it was too late to turn back? He wasn't aware the club was pursuing Mount and paid 55m for him until he saw the guy at old trafford?

It will not look massive. Watch until we bid and then they request for €60m and we beat it down to €55m.

that's the issue.
if we send in a bid for Amrabat now the season has started on a sour note, that's desperation.
his club is not blind, a £25m bid now will probably be knocked back. then you'll come back in January to ask why Ten Hag allowed him to be signed at £60m.

kozmicity:
ETH is too stubborn for his own good. Sometimes I wonder if he learns from his mistake. I was expecting to see Martial, Rashford and Antony start our attack,Bruno, Casemiro and McTominay in a double pivot or as the second 8. Defence would've stayed how it is.

We need a press resistant/ball carrying midfielder so we can control midfield, una talk no grin say na DDG be the problem. I'm not saying Onana is not doing good so far sha, if it was DDG in between the posts against wolves we'd have come out with a draw at best.

Our players manage to get the ball to the edge of the opposition box and what do they do?? They stand around or stroll with the ball... Little incisive runs or combination plays to unlock the defense and the little runs they do almost eventually end up being ignored. Instead they spam crosses to an invisible Ronaldo grin forgetting that aside from the fact they do not have a target man( Rashford can never be that) the entire team is made up of weaklings who are not good in the air and the only ones who are are Casemiro and Varane. Two defensive players.

Our players are afraid to get physical, aside from McTominay, every other player from the midfield upwards gets shrugged off the ball at a very alarming rate. Too weak to progress ball, too ineffective for long or incisive passes, too weak to defend.


You have wingers that cannot beat players one on one, create an overload on both wings with the FB's and CM's while leaving your CDM to spam passes and your 2 CB's at the halfway line. You have a sweeper keeper for God sake!!! Work on your combination plays, the one touch passes, the long range shots.e.t.c... E be like say these guys training na to play head tennis from start to finish.

Pressure them nonstop, interchange positions frequently to lose tightmarkers, do it over and over again let's see who first crumbles.






Shaw was horrendous today.

Martinez was atrocious at best.

Casemiro definitely needs a partner, he's legs are gone.

Mount should mount the bench!! There's no way McTom does worse than him in that position.

Garnacho needs a proper reminder that great talents go to waste too. He was inept.

Rashford was ineffective.

Martinez was shit.

And the worst of them all today was Bruno Fernandes!!! Absolutely his worst game I've ever seen. If I was the coach, there's no way he was finishing the match playing like he had to go shit.

Whatever ETH is doing, he needs a proper controller and either he reverts to 4-2-1-3 with the addition of Amrabat or he carries on with two 8's and abandons Mount for McTominay if not, I don't see how this is going to end well for us.
Haba, see epistle on top of wetin? Season never start tears don full ground.😂😂😂

So why did ETH allow the club to spend 55m on Mount first?

you are going round in circles now. many people even on here already don't agree with that signing. it's not even a factor of the cost.

A player pointed this out some time last year and guess who dragged him for it.

It’s only the second game anyway. Everyone will be fine in the end.
