weirdly dont feel to annoyed by tonight, we were not bad at all, when the lads that are injured come back hopefully we can string some good results together.
Hopefully we'll be a different team in the coming weeks and months too once we regain some confidence. Bayern are obviously a class act, but I do expect us to have too much for Galatasaray and Copenhagen in the other group games.Don’t overstate this. Bayern in 2 months from now will be a different team
The enormous, glaring, problem with your plan is that it means playing Maguire and Lindelof at CB together. Which, unless you've only just recovered from a 3 year coma, you should know isn't nearly good enough.
Ericksen legs gone and Bruno toooooo quick to release the possible wonder pass. However have a look at the second goal for Bayern Musiala build up there is a handball in there by him. Ignored by var.Midfield needs complete revamp(Casemiro, Eriksen, Bruno). That's my definite conclusion after this game, if we want to compete against the best teams in the world. No ball carrying, ball retention, press resistance whatsoever. "Hot potato" midfield, as I call it. That's how they treat the ball, release it as soon as possible, often doesn't even matter where. It also lacks athleticism, legs, speed. We're going nowhere with it.
A few calling for Mainoo to be a starter?
Coby is still just a kid.
An excellent prospect, looking very mature, measured and advanced for his age.
He’s going to be an important player for us, if it all comes good.
But he’s still a kid.
Inexperienced, a couple of years to go in physical development etc.
I think ETH will use him sparingly, on the right occasions.
You can’t expect him to be thrown in at the deep end.
Getting Amrabat into this side can’t come soon enough though.
Every team is going to target our soft CM, until we sort it out.
.
Or a proper var call
Or a back tracking defence
Or a covering midfield
Oh feck off.
What is the point in even interacting with dickheads like you.
fecking prick.
Im glad that there are others that can see that Rashford isn’t the issue and if we had a RW with the same output and threat we’d be in a better place.The hate boner people have for Rashford is unreal. Every single matchday thread is filled with people blaming him for absolutely everything. It's getting so boring. The truth is that nearly all our attacks were coming down the left with Rashford and Reguilion for most of the match, with Pellistri and Dalot barely in the game. And then when Garnacho came on for Pellistri and Rashford switched to the right...most of our attacks were suddenly coming down the right.
It's hilarious that when Garnacho got on the end of a Rashford cross they instantly started saying that Garnacho had done more than Rashford 'in 5 seconds' ....while simultanesouly ignoring the fact that the cross came from Rashford! Do they realise how ridiculous they're being?
I think it's unfair to not allow him some time to settle in before fully assessing. He is young. If his performances don't cost us many more games - I'd withhold judgement until the end of the season.It's different gravy, different levels. No saying Serie A is bad but I have seen better pressing in Eccles Sunday League, so of course Onana has all the time in the world to be a 'Footballing GK'
he's only played 5 games for United, its not really a fair sample sizeI don't think he even looks great on the ball. Better than De Gea, but I've seen plenty of keepers who look better.
true - but give him 30 mins at least, especially when others weren't exactly putting in gold-medal performancesBut when he does start he usually isnt as good as when he is coming off the bench
Ha, I think we know why he changed his tune. Arsenal are a bit different these days compared to 2018!That reminds me. I've got an Arsenal mate that stopped watching football from 2018 on grounds of their being a a lack of quality and soul in European football, he claimed the defenders these days are trash, midfielders lack imagination, average offensive players, too much diving, cheating and the sport as a whole has gotten predictable. He had so much conviction, that he starting watching NBA from 2018. I'm not sure why, he's had a change of tune and returned to watching football since January. It's this Arsenal fan that invited me to his house to watch it with him.
Fair comment, cant disagree with you.I think it's unfair to not allow him some time to settle in before fully assessing. He is young. If his performances don't cost us many more games - I'd withhold judgement until the end of the season.
From distance with a dummy in goal.I would imagine most teams do that.
