    Bring on the kids
    They’re show some passion
    Bring them on for the established so called “stars”
     
    Needs to make changes. No matter how he treats some of these they will still do what they want on the pitch. We need to get rid of them. If we're going to be hanging out at the bottom of the table, let's just use the talented youth players and be done with it. Every one else can feck off.

    These players are a disgrace. yes the Glazers are woeful owners, but there is no excuse for the performance from these very well paid overprivileged players.

    While i agree with some of the poor choices, who does he bring in to replace bruno and rashford? our attacking depth is laughable for a so called top team. Dalot would get swapped with wan bissaka who is arguably even worse.

    At this point I'd be content with a more "solid" set-up. Drop Bruno, push Eriksen up, play Martinez as CDM behind the midfield partnership and have someone else play CB.

    And for all AWB faults, we were more solid defensively with him than we are with Dalot. AWB at least can tackle. What is Diogo Dalot good at? By the way, not necessarily arguing for AWB - I think they're both shite, and have been saying for awhile we need a RB

    I’ve Said it all along. Maguire - Martinez is not the pairing to start with. Maguire have been paired with exactly everyone and it turns to shit!

    Martinez - Varane. Lets try that one.
    And then buy a fecking MIDFIELD please.

    All managers are cowards and scared to make big decisions. They all think that they have to start Maguire because he’s captain… we have vice captains for a reason. Should just strip it of him anyway. Every partnership Maguire is in will always be bad.

    This is relegation form.
    This will be the reverse of Leicester when everyone said they couldn't win the league.
    Everyone will say we cant go down until suddenly its April and we are 15 points from safety

    Ten Hag will be sacked long before it gets that bad. My worry is that we have a squad of players who can only play in a low block counter-attack style and we'll need a shithouse coach to steady the ship until we sort our recruitment out.

    Maguire is clearly behind Bailly/Varane. Don't know why the managers are never brave enough to call it out.

    He’s also spent 50 million on Martinez who doesn’t look premier league quality, and playing Eriksen as a holding midfielder….. and trying to play it out from the back with De Gea who while being one of the best shot stoppers in football ever is calamitous with the ball at his feet.

    Really naive mangment.

    You can't go pragmatic. Now is the time to instill the brand of football we're going to use going forward. If the players can't play that style (leading to losses in the league), that is when you replace everyone who can't perform their duties.
     
    Shame Keano's not on Sky today, can just imagine his face and him ripping it out of De Gea.
     
    Varane needs to come on 2nd half. Fred off. Bruno off. Been useless the pair of them Push martinez up beside erikksen.

    Rashford off . Has barely touched the ball. Sancho over to left. Elanga on the right. Need to try start stretching Brentford somehow.

    Something needs to change

    We're actually moving the ball well today. We're getting into the final third. However, the defensive errors have absolutely killed us today. De Gea's poor decision making and the positioning of Maguire. In addition of course we still have no DM, so we are easy to hit on the counter.

    Seriously? We are static, predictable and have not created one decent chance.
     
    The worrying thing is that there's no fire, anger or passion on the field. Why aren't these guys screaming at each other?

    It's just abject acceptance ffs.
     
    Forget about the poor defending and lack of spine for a second, we also look nothing like scoring at all.

    What on earth gives you any certainty on that?
    We've looked dreadful against 2 at best mid table teams so far. We're 4 down to Brentford, and we're not missing any of our first choice players.

    I still believe we can and Ten Hag has to re-instil that belief in our players.

    With better owners, DDG would not be in goal for us this season, so think again.

    This is exactly the point. A better club realises their issues on the pitch and shifts to find players better suited to the manager. United just thinks a our players are good players regardless of the system and that’s why we have failed for so long. We are trying to play a system with 11 players not suited for it.

    Was always going to be a disaster. Ten Hag will be sacked and the next manager will be expected to work miracles with the same shite group of players.

    Well he did get them to the two highest league finishes this bunch will ever see.

    Damn two highest league finishes, what a achievement, how about wasting years, millions and leaving squad of cnuts that are unfit, uncoached. He did Snake Plisken and sent us back to stone age.

    Edit: Oh not to mention all contract extensions under him.
     
    How anyone can watch this and conclude that the manager is to blame is beyond me.

    We have thousands of premier league matches represented among those players. World Cup finalists, Euros winner, league winners, Champions League winners, national team captains and I could go on.
    They are absolutely shitting themselves, and aren't playing together. They aren't because of the complete mess this club has been for all the time they have been here.
     
    I don’t mind losing games, shite happens. But seeing these players give in like that is unacceptable. Apart from ronaldo, i do not think anyone cares. They are walking up and down the pitch, no energy, no aggression, no spirit. Next liverpool is it? God help us
     
    It's sad having supported the club for nearly 40 years, I'm listening to the commentary on 5 live, and all I can do is laugh, the situation is so ridiculous yet not at all surprising.

    Have you not been watching any pre-season games at all? We've played like that, and will continue to play like that under ten Hag.

    Eriksen must do better. The ball was to his feet. He could have decided to play it back to De Gea. What you don't do is lose it in that position! Shit play and cost us a goal.
    Click to expand...
    I haven't, watched a single occurence of a pass where the opponent was breathing down a player's neck. I didn't say Eriksen was flawless either.
    Just that DDG is a cnut for exposing him like that
