    Grim, really grim.

    I wish I didn't watch the firs two episodes of David Beckham's documentary. That team would fight for one another and back each other up, this team has little fight and would throw each other under the bus without hesitation.
     
    Changes needed. Id like Garnacho on right. Anthony left Bruno central. Hook mount and Rashford.
     
    we're goign to dominate the ball and brentford are going to sit in even more now they have the lead

    again the problem is we don't have anyone on the right and everytime marcus gets the ball they send another defender over to keep him from cutting inside

    no overlap b/c Lindelof isn't a lb so it's easy to defend that side of the pitch now
     
    So some intellegent people here kept saying we need to get rid of De Gea without knowing who we were getting! Brilliant stupidity!
     
    Some players have just not been good enough or not been pulling their weight since the start of the season but the bigger problem is the manager keeps playing them over and over. It’s on him and he deserves to go

    I don't understand how a team can regress so much. We look completely awful.

    We swapped a half decent goalie for a clown.

    But also swapped the only bloke in the club who actually won the league for a bloke who would lose a one horse race.

    The treated de gea like shite, and I suspect everyone else is looking at that and thinking when is their turn. It was utterly woeful management.

    The problem is not with the manager. All eleven players are as good as shit. Get the Qataris in. We need 11 new players.

    This clown has signed Onana/Evans (not at fault)/ Casemiro/Amrabat/Mount/Hojlund out of the starting XI.

    Eriksen/Antony on the bench too.. both almost certain to come on as subs..
    It's his squad..
     
    On the bright side, we're only 45 minutes away from a two-week break from watching United.
     
    We could play like this till Monday and not create a chance! Our passing is too predictable, poor and slow...and the players seem.utterly incapable of improving this aspect.

    Brentford are doing what most, probably all PL teams bar Utd can do, pass the ball competently and be sharp in the final third. We are done as a team, that much is obvious.
     
    If nothing changes in the second half and we lose this, I wonder how many will cross over to the ETH-OUT side. This does feel like it's all over. The fight has gone.
     
    Casemiro is clearly done.
    But he will still okay 90 minutes.

    Agree on the subs but I'd actually sub Bruno off. Mount looks better

    Can't believe we threw like £60M at Mount, I don't even think he's a bad player, but what does he add/or bring to United?

    Maddison was £40m. We go for Mount!! For £20 odd million more. Crazy.
     
    Would give anything to see Dave walk out in the second half. Stars in their eyes style, smoke and that.

    Absolute scenes
     
    We only created 1 chance (Rashford) in 45 minutes at OT against Brentford. Amrabat is doing nothing creative, just bumbles into people and makes free kicks. Casemiro has not made a single good action and is involved in the goal. Mount tries, but just isn't good enough. Bruno is gone. And we don't get any attacks from Lindelöf as left back. But first of all, we have a decidedly miserable goalkeeper. Unbelievably poor goalkeeper. He can't save anything.
     
    If Casemiro and Rashford start the second half ...

    let's just say ETH fully deserves the humiliating collapse that's happening. Play some hungry players. Stop the brainless favouritism.

    Onana deserves the humiliation of a half time keeper sub as well.
     
    It's getting to the point where we need to try something more radical to break this cycle, we're stuck in this mental rut where everything just isn't working so maybe just try something out of the box, whether that's in terms of lineup, formation, tactics, training or all of the above, just shake things up.
     
    I genuinely thought Ten Hag could turn this around, but performances like that half, and I really do start to wonder. We look hopeless, unmotivated and utterly void of anything positive.
     
    If anyone thinks getting rid of the Glazers will magically turn Ten Hag into a competent manager they can think again.
     
    Comedy of errors for the first goal, Casemiro with a terrible pass, Lindelofs clearance is terrible and Onana can’t keep out a pea roller.

    - Casemiro has been awful.
    - Rashford looks like he is in the gutter.
    - Mount anonymous
    - We seem to of bought Onana to play like De Gea.
    - No attacking plan other than crosses.

    Genuinely awful, the only players really who have anything to show for that half is Hojlund, Dalot and Fernandes.
     
    Absolutely woeful. I'd bring on Antony, Eriksen and Garnacho, take off Rashford, Bruno and one of Casemiro / Amrabat.

    Everything just looks so stale at the moment with the incumbents that are out there serving up absolute shit, week in, week out.
     
    Offside during one of our own Free kicks says it all. The lads have completely checked out. Not a single feck in the world given. Nothing is working for them. The issues are far graver than I believe many of us fully understand.

    De Gea was 20 at the time.

    I know, that’s not my point. My point Is the keeper is at an all time low on confidence and any mistake is gonna be hammered on the media, he needs removing from the spotlight much like De Gea was at the time.
     
    Really can’t see we coming back
    Unless changes were made in start of 2nd half which I doubt eth will do
    He will wait until 80mins or 88mins to make a sub
     
    As bad as it’s ever been? What’s happened this season? Off the field issues are the priority
     
    Feck the manager what's wrong with these players? So nonchalant and blasé. Show a bit of pride FFS
     
    Onana is simply a weak goalkeeper, those are saves to make but yet he fails to save them. I can't sit and listen to ETH defend Onana. He is a African league footballer, doesn't belong in Europe.
