I think Bruno needs to accept he needs a break. His form is bad.

And yet today he's been pretty good...

McTominay has this little quirk where nearly all of his passes are to the receiver's back foot, even when there is room for a pass into the front foot for them to potentially face their marker.

That pass to Dalot was infuriating, instead of allowing him to get the ball out of feet or even cross first time he had to check back and it killed the move, little things are so important.

What was that launch by De Gea?!

you noticed it too. Such a small detail that breaks passing rythme, crazy that a pro is not even tuned in to that

He was a striker all through his youth setup right? So his passing hasn't had a decade plus of practice. He is what he is at this point

One doesn't need to be a former professional keeper to know that it would be lunacy to let De Gea go.

Of course - just illustrating that the loudest voices shouting for a ‘modern keeper’ are quite the opposite of being qualified to pass judgement.

I wonder what Bruno would look like in an absolute top class team.

Probably wearing a tracksuit on the bench.

He can do everything weghorst can't.

Weghorst has a massive advantage over him though. Hes available...

If we don't score 2nd soon, last minutes of the game will be nerve breaker

bosnian_red · Apr 5, 2023

Our shooting and final ball is horrendous today

Telsim · Apr 5, 2023

Antony will eventually hit one of his 10000 shots and we will have to hear how is actually brilliant.

I think it's such basic football intelligence that no matter where you played or currently play, doesn't matter.

Rightnr · Apr 5, 2023

If we don't win this game because our players just want to play shoot, then EtH should get the Butcher on them

Yeah, didn't see if you posted about it earlier. But he had just done it again when I posted, and has done it several times this game.

On the subject of keepers, what happened to the art of the throw?

Probably something to do with the conditions

Sylar · Apr 5, 2023

That was a good ball by Fred but nobody went backpost as we only had two in the box for the corner :lol:

FerociousCorgis · Apr 5, 2023

at this point just line everyone in the box at the 6yard line for the corner. put the ball right in the mass of people. That is better than whatever crap we try and draw up

Keepers aren't allowed to pick the ball up anymore, feet only

zaafi · Apr 5, 2023

Alright Antony, you love to shoot. Doesn't mean you need to do it every chance you get.

kouroux · Apr 5, 2023

Our shooting is horrendous. Chelsea like

Wing Attack Plan R · Apr 5, 2023

Brentford looking a little more dangerous but I’ve really enjoyed this game. DeGea with that huge 1v1, Sabitzer and McT putting in a great shift. So far I’d say our only weakness has been Bruno’s live for no-look passes that go straight to the other team.

At what? Being a shit midfielder?

Man I wish ddg would boot the ball to the sides rather than down the middle

Buddy he could save your first born from choking and you'd criticize him for not taking the time to scrub up first

Anustart89 · Apr 5, 2023

Oh Fred.

HookedOnAPhelan · Apr 5, 2023

Jesus how fecking difficult is it to hit the fecking target lads?!?

Sylar · Apr 5, 2023

Hit the bloody target

100%. Our short corner routines are bizarre.

Ah. Used to be a great way to launch an attack.

Massive Spanner · Apr 5, 2023

Classic Fred.

Feck Fred at least on target ffs

Don’t fear the man who has practiced 1000 shots once, fear the man who practiced 1 shot 1000 times.

This is what you get with Martial though, he drops deep to link up but is never anywhere near the box

We've been the same all game, even without him. Rashford is CF but he loves hovering outside the box. Problem is, no one else thinks about making vertical runs into the box to provide a target.

crossy1686 · Apr 5, 2023

We've defended well at least, but can we keep it up?
