Excellent. You have to admire them. Not just their work rate, but the football they play when you consider the players they have and the budget they're working under is incredible.Pretty bad. Played off the park by Brighton so far.
I'm not sure what we should do. On this evidence, we have humongous deficiencies on both the technical and the tactical side of things. The latter can be improved if Ten Hag indeed knows what he's doing, which is yet to be seen - but the former?
Our disastrous transfer window is nicely highlighted today.
It’s fecking strange. This is nothing like the football we played in the friendlies. I know real games are tougher and friendlies are friendlies but it’s bizarre.Brighton excellent
United disjointed and nervy
Awful start for the new manager
Does he have any targets that didn't play for him?
Aye very few mind but I’m looking for some, any sort of positive
We worked space on the left a couple of times pretty well before a big switch to there. Looks like something that was practiced.
We need a striker and a winger too. Probably even more so turn a RB.45 minutes in and already I can't be arsed with the season.Glad Pogba is gone. It's great that he can't be scapegoated for this shite anymore.
Least he could pass a ball unlike the Chuckle Brothers MK2 we got in midfieldWe're way too slow playing out from the back. DDG won't survive this kind of play. Looks so uncertain of himself. Gives me the jitters.
Would have started with Ganarcho and actually Malacia for Shaw.
2 nil down already. MercyAnd that might be the easiest game of the first six matchesMctom hides from the ball but runs around a lot. Fred gives the ball away for fun and both are supposed to be our midfield two… I don’t know how every manager plays them week in week out.
I like Fred but not in this deep position.No one was good enough in that first half. Not a single player.Ronaldo being involved in a come back would be pretty damaging to our mid to long term prospects.Remember we could've had Caicedo a few seasons ago for less then 5 million.
Yeah because he’s got so many other options. Garner and DvB? They were awful.Ronaldo on to salvage something from this game. As sad as that soundsThe only positive is that this happened in the first match and that they simply can't ignore the shocking state of our squad.
Hopefully EtH knocks McT out for that first half perfomance. An insult to him and the fans.
Some fans being picky with midfielders makes me laugh. You could probably pluck 100 midfielders out there before you would play these 2. MoreWe're not even making top 4 with Dalot and McFred, forget about even more ambition.
Dalot is legit one of the worst RBs I've ever seen. Can't attack can't defend can't tackle can't man-mark
As, bad as this is, as a new manager you can't lose with kids on the pitch with two internationals on the bench. They will play themselves out of the team.I'm so not surprised Ronaldo doesn't want to play with this lot anymore. No way are we going to make top 4 this season.Said it last season but we operate on old software.
Just watch the players body position when the pass and receive the ball, it's always the wrong side of their body, they also all square up players who have the ball and get turned or have the ball played past them.
The areas of the pitch they operate in is too rigid, they seem to just stick in their twenty yard sectors and when a opposition player vacates that, they stand and watch.
He is doing a great job, for his employer.Well that sucked.
Go through as many managers as you want. Same players, same problems.
Not overly fussed, it's only one game, although you never want to lose the first game.This club is rotten to its core.
I am shocked as to how he gave them all a clean sheet to begin with.We are still overloaded as a team, with players who can’t or are too weak, at effective close pressing and winning physical duels.
Brighton set their stall out straight from the kick off and pressed high, aggressively and tight.Wow the negativity on the Caf after first half of the first game of the manager's first season is.... incredible.
Glad ronaldo is not playing. We'd have been shite otherwise.
Can it take that long?“What is happening here? Why are we still shit?”Last edited:I can't believe I was optimistic and went for a draw in my score prediction.No boos. Impressive. I'd make sure I go back in drunk.I dunno why people are complaining, it's the same midfield that got overrun by every team last season.
I cannot stick another season of this. I'm going shoppingWorst run club in the league, becoming a genuine waste of time supporting this lot.Bring malacia and we can do a lot better. Left side is completely exposed.- Status
