Stick him up top.Yoro coming onI've said it several times in this forum. Malacia is not good enough, even as a squad rotation player. At least these appearances he's getting are letting it be known to Amorim.
Expected. Maybe we will go for Antony and Garnacho late if we still do not get a goal.For MalaciaSomeone knows the expected goals from this half ?
Even more annoying he was the one marking for the goal, he is like 6'8" + 5" of hair, he cannot out jump somebody half his size, cannot jump at all
You don't need xG to see we had lots of chances while they created feck all aside from that goal set piece.
Yeah it's likely for Malacia. Amorim has hooked him at half time before.
SighThink we need Amad as WB until we sign a serviceable one.
I literally said that about him too? I was speaking specifically about the use of their physical attributes. Not comparing them as players.
Lukaku was huge, but didn't use it to his advantage much. Zirkzee seems to be much the same, and is losing physical battles to players half his size. Lukaku is obviously 100x the player.I cant belive the caf is turning on mainoo.
Malacia rightly off then.
Almost no physical presence.
Of course we can. Bring Yoro and put Maz on the right and Dalot on the left.
Exactly. Feel for the lad as he's had shite injuries but even before that he didn't show enough. It's fine, he was a low cost gamble which hasn't worked out.
The caf doesn't know ball. They rate Bruno ffs
It was clear to me almost immediately that neither Zirkzee nor Malacia were at the required level, but I was also hoping Amorim had the secret code to get them to function. He doesn’t and they won’t.
That said, I do like how this side is cutting through the middle and keeping the ball moving with more control through individual dribbles, less passing around the outside like it’s college basketball.
We still win 2-1 but halftime subs are in order.
Yes it's "agenda posting" for people to wish our star 10 could dribble and run with the ball or not miss sitters.
Christ
Maybe but we had very little control, Bournemouth still looked the better side and much more likely to do somethingMalacia isn't made for a wing back . Mazroui go there Yoro other side.
xG is an utterly ridiculous stat. Great for conversation at the pub though.
Was probably ok as a squad option at LB before the injury. Really don't think he suits the WB role though. Would rather see him cover LCB if he really needs to play. He's played in a back 3 for Holland before.
But yeah, we need an upgrade, either way
Not turning on him. They are offering the correct crticism. He's a step slower than everyone else both on and off the ball and needs to speed it up.
Malacia has been sidelined for a year and a half, and it’s hard to predict if he’ll regain the required level, but time will tell.
Zirkzee, still in his first season, doesn't seem like a natural fit for Amorim’s style, and I’d agree he may struggle to make a lasting impact.
Martinez, on the other hand, was outstanding when he first arrived—our standout defender without question. While injuries have taken their toll, his quality remains undeniable.
As for Onana, he's arguably been our standout player this season. Aside from a couple of recent errors, his performances have been consistently excellent.
Looking at ten Hag's signings, you've highlighted four: two brought in as squad players and two who have been dependable contributors. It's a mixed bag, but overall, there’s been some clear value added.
Don’t think people are turning on him
But you can also call out poor form…and he certainly hasn’t shown much since coming back from injury. In fairness, it is only very recentWe need to loan a LB.
Under EtH we wasted whatever we created and it became defensive. the football was execrable but it yielded two trophies.A fully up for it and committed Rashford would do wonders on days like today. Shame that ship has very much sunk.
He did okay in his first year. Some good, some bad. I do think his 1 year+ injury took away his chance to become a valued rotation player for Manchester United. He wasnt a super talent to begin with and missing a year of development is just too much.
Forget xG. Look with your eyes at chances created by each team.
He was an average Eredivise fullback before his injury. Now he's even less athletic. Sad but gotta go.
A sitter from the edge of the box with five defenders between him and the goal, alrightMalacia was poor, so fair enough he's taken off. We already know it but, we have a wing back problem on both sides.Bruno doesn't work in Amorim's no.10 because :-
- He's constantly running onto balls out wide. He's slow, he's got zero acceleration and it immediately makes him turn his back to goal with the ball, which is when he loses it the most.
- He's better delivering the ball from deep. Bruno is a far better CM in Amorim's system than he is a 10.
