You might as well talk to a dog than post facts like that on here
How many seasons did ETH have? Whose players are these? JFC is your brain that tiny you can't even think on a larger context?
Unfortunately if you watch football matches you'll notice he's terrible more often than not.
Give me Cole Palmer any day of the week over Bruno.Once again, two goals in as many minutes. This is not bad luck but crap defending. We need half the team replacing but no money to do it.The number of dumb goals conceded is frustrating.
I would say this team is good enough to beat Bournemouth 55% of the time. Unfortunately, today was that other 45%.
Since when has he not been a CF hahaha
Of course not, but I did expect us to be better off the ball. Yes, I understand he's new and will need his players but we really shouldn't be losing 3 nil to Bournemouth at Old Trafford, in my opinion.Same crap we saw under ETH, poor final third. Stupid defensive errors. Players out muscled on the pitch
The stats don't tell the whole story, do they?
If most of our creativity stems from one player (which it does), then we live and die off his performances.
It's a risk and reward thing.
Bruno has no composure and has been like this for most of his career.
Difference is he could finish his dinner for the first 18 months, and now he can't score like he used to.
It's worth considering selling him before he burns out (he's nearly 30), and invest that into someone who doesn't keep giving the ball so needlessly away.11 years since losing a game meant the title challenge was in jeopardy.
Indeed. The other side has now been taken over by Amad which is day and night compared to his, We might as well take short corners if we have no one better than Bruno.
That's one of our main issues. Our players are weak as piss and physically not up to it
He is implementing a new system.
Ten hag had two years and a huge number of signings and that was the best he could come up with
Ok. So back to your first post regarding Mainoo. Take him out and put in who?It was quite obvious to begin with that fitting our players into a 343 wpuld be more challenging than a 433. Hopefully it will work out in the end but it could be a really painful next 6 monthsReality check for Amorim.
So you want to go from being reliant on the best chance creator in the league (this and pretty much every other season he's been here) to being reliant on a combination of the players we have (who create nowhere near as much) and a player you can't name.
So, those players are genuinely not good enough to beat Bournemouth at home?
It is what it is. This season is a write-off. Have to look to next season now.
Spot on. Doesn’t seem to make any difference how big or small they are. No strength in any of them. This team needs a complete make over but the coffers are empty.
Why the feck would we bring in Amorim ? It’s the same old shite then. We’ll have to endure the rest of the season since Amorim wasn’t given a full preseason with the squad and had no say in recruitment. If the players can’t or won’t adapt to his demands then sell them.Mazraoui effectively snuffed any chance we had of getting something out of this game. 0-1 we can nick a goal, it’s doable. 0-2 and we need a miracle. Heads drop, suddenly we’re 3 down. Game over.
Do you actually watch our matches or just read stats ? But yeah by your logic what an error SAF made by getting rid of RVN, Beckham, Keane, Ince, Hughes, Kanchelkis all vastly superior players to Bruno and actual title winners.
Bruno, Eriksen or even Casemiro. It’s literally who Amorim played when Mainoo was out.
I agree with the concern about Amorim. I was very skeptical before he started at the club and I don't see that we have got a clearer or improved tactic with him. I understand that it is still early days and he should have a fair chance. But I'm really worried.
Yeah I thought that was weird. Down 3-0 and players like Mainoo / Mazroui gassed and not having a good game. Maybe give Collyer his debut or Antony another shot?
Other than Maguire and Zirkzee, which one of our players starting today isn't an athlete?
I can’t believe they gave ETH that amount of money to spend to end up with what we got. Utter dross all of them. And now skint. This club
I thought this might be said regarding a 'player I can't name'.
I'm not a scout mate, however I did suggest we go for Olise though a couple of years ago though and that prediction did turn out great I must say!
However I don't think it will be very easy to replace him but him being the centre piece of our team is a massive issue.
Another option, rather than buying one creative player to replace him is to buy two, or buy one and buy a striker who can actually get into good positions *and* finish them.
Spend our money on cheaper but smarter options than investing in one player would be the way to go.
But you literally admitted that those players have been "crap" too, so what difference would it make?
Bruno can produce some great stuff like the cutback to Amad today. But, his decision-making and finishing in the final third is not consistently good enough right now. Too many misses that someone of his quality should be putting in. I’m not in favor of getting rid though. Sell Erickson and bring in another creative mid to push him.Our 3 best today:
1) Bruno
2) Maguire
3) No one
Our 3 worst today:
1) Zirkzee
2) Malacia
3) Mazraoui.
There’s different levels of crap. Mainoo has been one of the worst in the squad this season.
Bruno losing possessing. Anyone who watches our matches would realise he’s bad. Perhaps not this bad.

Previous responders to my post may think I'm having a pop at Amorim.
I'm not !
It's early days and he has a huge set of problems on his hands, but the stats don't look good at the moment and are getting worst, game by game.
In the PL, despite our poor results and league position, we had the joint 3rd best defensive record, based on goals conceded, until only a few weeks ago.
We're now sliding down that particular pecking order.
.
Lisandro clearly. Mainoo is extremely slow. Bruno slow and weak. Malacia.
That's over half of our outfield starters.My wife just said, who is an equestrian and not into football:
“You can’t turn donkeys into race horses. You can put a bad jockey on a great horse and it’ll win. You can’t put a great jockey on a donkey and expect a result.”
Let Amorim do the clear out we so badly need.
Bruno was almost our only player creating chances.
Well...it was more like I felt Hojlund wasn't the right fit. His stats from his previous club was nothing to shout about and I feel that we need someone more proven as the lack of goal was glaring for us. Until we can get a proven striker, someone with possible potential is just not enough.
