    Rashford will get ETH sacked as many predicted

    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.

    I think todays goal was more Lindalof. It’s magnified on Onana because of recent weeks. But usually the keepers role in that is never mentioned and Lindalof gets full blame.

    Wasn’t an easy shot to save, but would have been a good save if he made it.

    Trust me, these players are not playing for this manager

    They can at least try playing for the club? Nah, why bother. It's time to get rid of the manager that dared ask them for some standards.

    We consistently seem to be battling against lack of physical attributes. Every team we come up against is stronger, faster, braver and better in the air.

    Casemiro, slow. Bruno, slow and weak. Rashford, weak. Lindelof, slow, Evans, slow, Maguire, slow....

    Same feeling, we have way too many weak or slow players (or both). Hojlund is the only "strong and quick" player in our XI tonight, which is pathetic

    Rashford - quick but weak
    Bruno - slow and weak
    Casemiro - strong but slow
    Mount - average speed and strength
    Arambat - strong with average speed
    Dalot - average speed and strength
    Lindelof - slow and weak (at CB standard)
    Maguire - strong but slow
    Evans - average strength and slow

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

    Mount moving up in attack to occupy spaces in the middle does not mean he plays as the attacking midfielder throughout the game. He has been deployed as a CM for most of our games, but obviously our attacking formation differs from the defensive one. Maddison could not play as the CM next to Casemiro. Mount isn't the ideal partner, but he is much better there than Maddison would be. Maddison is an out and out attacking midfielder, and that should be his only position.

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

    I think it was a routine save for most PL keepers and an absolute clanger.

    Ball dribbled under his arm.
     
    Once again the issue is scoring. We average less than a goal a game yet the focus is on how bad our defence is. A great offense can take pressure off our defence and vice versa. other teams have 18 goals already we have 7. Its not like we only playing top sides so far either

    Yet the constant lazy ones are by being undroppable. Thought he was above having favourites clearly not

    The only things making me not want him sacked are our ridiculous injury list and there's no clear stand out candidate available. Convinced he's currently deciding whether to die on the Rashy, Bruno or Onana hill however

    He constantly waffles about standards, these are the standards he’s set I'm afraid, the wrong ones. For me he needs to be sacked, he doesn’t know how to turn this around.
     
    These players are a disgrace and most of them doesn't have the quality, the balls, and afraid of the jersey and want the manager out. Simple!
     
    OT has become a talent abattoir. Every player on that team has strengths and weaknesses, but collectively its the weaknesses that combine. Off-field is quite evidently a shit-show right now, from boardroom to treatment table. Anybody got a magic wand?

    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?

    Did you not watch the Arsenal Spurs game? Maddison played deeper than Mount is today. He was receiving the ball from a short goal kick on the half turn.
     
    Please make half time substitutions. This is bordering on insanity, same misfiring players played out of position. Bruno is ide is useless, couldn’t find a red shirt to save his life.
     
    Used to dislike the international breaks in the Autumn. Now they are welcome.
     
    This is just sh*t

    There seems be no shape, no tactics, no speed, no "best team in transition" so f*cking slow in every aspect, if we break, we slow down and allow them to catch up. Don't get me wrong Brentford aren't all over is, but we appear to be outnumbered up front, in midfield and at the back. Would be interesting to know how much they are out running us again just like last season.

    And it looks like we are bringing on Erikson. We need legs!!!

    Shows how poor our recruitment is.

    You haven't seen the goal. Yes Casemiro and Lindelof made bloopers. But a decent keeper with strong hands HAS to save it. Onana tries to scoop it away and gets if so so wrong it is painful to watch.

    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.

    Really?!
    I remember that De Gea kept us floating for a number of years on his own.

    Can he stop weak shots straight at him? If he’s played at a semi pro level he’ll probably be an upgrade over Onana.

    His shot-stopping stats seem to be absolutely terrible, training must be a real confidence builder for our attackers as every shot goes in. Probably shocks them at weekends when opposing goalkeepers save shots that are straight at them.
