    I feel sorry for Ten Hag tbh, if i was him i wouldn't know where to start,
    the goalkeeper can't keep anything out, the defence can't defend, the midfield just give the ball away over and over again, the wingers are playing for themselves,.. but we've got a decent striker.... good luck mate
     
    The lack of creativity is shocking but not surprising. Mount is just useless. Bruno is always useless on the wing. Amrabat and Casemiro is slow as a wet week.

    Need to just take off one of Mount/Bruno and stick a proper winger on. Bring on Hannibal for one of the two statues in CM. Probably should take a gamble with Antony at LB as well.
     
    I’m expecting the same group of gimps to trot out for the second half.
     
    Can clearly tell the players aren’t playing for him. This is awful.
     
    What the feck is Onana playing at taking ages to take a free kick when we're in stoppage time?! I don't usually lose patience with new signings this quickly but that kind of behaviour is inexcusable. We're losing at home. Show some fecking urgency
     
    Worst part of this is ETH won’t make subs until 65’-70’ and it will be Eriksen for Mount. As shit as Antony has been in the early games I’d have him on for Bruno or Mount. Garnacho for Rashford. No defensive subs to be made.
     
    He was one of my favourite players but Rashford is really pissing me off. Just doesn't look arsed.

    No one was good. Another poor half. Deserve nothing.

    Martial, Antony and maybe Eriksen need to come on.. we need width.. we need the creativity.. and Martial just to change things up because Rashford/Hojlund arent working so far.

    It's actually stupid of ETH when you think about it. Playing a 442 and you decide Rashford is a better partner to Hojlund than Martial??? He should just go.

    Maddison was £40m. We go for Mount!! For £20 odd million more. Crazy.

    Maddison and Mount are different players, though. We should also have gone for Maddison, but he should have replaced Bruno, which would never happen because he was literally just made captain. Are you suggesting we play Maddison next to Casemiro?

    Which different players could he magically turn to?

    Turn to the youngsters on the bench. I'm okay losing with youngsters than losing with these primadonnas. So don't make it put like he has no other options. You can do worse than play the likes of Garnacho, Hannibal, Gore and Heston/Bayindir.
     
    That goal was a joke.
    Casemiro gives it away yes, but no imminent danger as the ball falls beautifully for Lindelof. Who couldn't have made a worse pass to let them in.

    But Onana. A shot on target really is a shot scored isn't it.
    Genuine shock how that went in.
    Imagine a keeper who isn't a good shot stopper. That's 6 or 7 shockers so far this season.
     
    More and more convinced we're cursed.

    Players sign with good reputations then suddenly turn into pub league quality players. Managers arrive with good reputations amd seemingly turn into clueless buffoons.

    It's been one step forward two steps back for 2013 and seems to be one embarrassment or unwanted record after the next.

    At least when Chelsea have the odd disaster season they usually pick back up the next.

    Only positive is with the international break, there should be time for a few to come back. Though no doubt during the international break, at least 3 players will get injured.

    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.

    It’s not even only about the fight anymore. ETH has brought this on himself by playing the same cnuts over and over without changing things up. He’s a coward. Yes we have massive injuries in defence but our biggest problems are Casemiro, Rashford and Bruno. And yet, instead of giving youth a chance he keeps playing these players. He’s only got himself to blame if he gets the sack
     
    I know Maguire has had his ups and downs, and he was a bit of a beige wall as captain, but at least his shoulders aren't slumped as much as the supposed "leaders" on the pitch.

    So some intellegent people here kept saying we need to get rid of De Gea without knowing who we were getting! Brilliant stupidity!

    You're forgetting that a high percentage of quality players absolutely wilt when they come here.
    And De Gea let in a horrible amount of weak shots too. Remember against Brentford last season for just one.
    But Onana has had a shocking start. Approaching Taibi levels.

    Taibi for Onana could work in the second half
     
    Well! What can you do when your Champions League winning mid passes it straight to the other team, creates a 4 v 3, then your new keeper can’t save Jack shit.

    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.

    This team aren't like that because it's a bunch of individuals who don't really know each other and are in it for themselves. There's no cohesion whatsoever.

    At this point, I'd rather we just built our team around the youth players. Keep playing Hojlund, Garnacho, Pellistri, Mejbri and really work on these players who are more exciting to watch and look like they give a shit.
     
    If you are not playing Bruno, our best player, at 10, you may as well not play him. He is not, and never will be, a right winger.

    Ten hag has been doing it for more than a month.
     
    How do we take one of the best defensive midfielders of his generation and last seasons best keeper in the Champions League and make them perform this badly? Unreal.
     
    Goal is a combination of Casemiro being absolute shite this season and Onana not having 1% confidence

    When the chips are down he rarely looks anything but. I maintain we're a bit all round team without him. We've no pace, no tempo it's woeful.
     
    It's time for Casemiro to learn Arabic. He's been shocking all season.

    Onana can't let that goal in, though. He's really struggling to handle the pressure here. He's struggling to get down quickly enough to save shots that are low.

    Two wrongs don't make a right. De Gea was poor for five years while being paid nearly £400k a week. There is a reason David De Gea STILL has no club as we speak. David De Gea in this side would make next to no difference.
     
    LVG's football put me to sleep. ETH's football just seems pointless. Makes me angry -- I rather be sleeping
     
    Dalot having acres of space for a cross and hitting the first man sums up our chance creation

    Right now Mount is playing where Bruno would be. Are you watching this game?
