    How so, haven’t the club been going balls deep to get him FDJ, also got him Malacia, Martinez and Eriksen.

    If Erik couldn’t with his own fecking eyes see how shit these midfielders are and could not find even one better player in the whole of world football who’s name isn’t FDJ…then I certainly have no sympathy for him.
     
    Dalot’s brainfart in the first minute set the standard. Literally from that moment I could see that nothing has changed.

    How to wipe out any optimism or enthusiasm for the new season in 45 painful minutes!

    Time for a beer
     
    Dont worry. we dont need new signings
    These players are top quality and just need the proper coaching.
    ETH will get a tune out of them.
    Well you cant get a tune out of a piano when its been smashed up with a sledgehammer and set on fire no matter how good a pianist you are.

    Maybe this is exactly what we needed to happen to open some eyes.
     
    The sad thing is, no one stepped up, not one player.

    We're still shit because the same people are still there. Get rid of fecking maguire and mcfred, bench Shaw and bruno if they can't perform, and find a damn striker. We needed a good start and now every team will come at us knowing we have zero confidence or charachter.
     
    This is what I expected and dreaded. Ten Hag might genuinely end up getting the sack due to these incompetent players/owners too in a few months.

    Only going to get worse. Going to get battered at home on the first day of the ‘fresh start’ and theyve already been booed off at half time on day 1. Largely the same players and they have bone china confidence. Disaster season already incoming
     
    That's a pathetic first half. ETH must be thinking where all the 6 weeks of pre season work went? The team looks lethargic, slow on the ball, and bereft of movement.

    He was so shocked with the performance all of that first half that he didn't even know what to say!
     
    Starting the season with mcfred as our first choice midfield was negligent and we are getting what we deserve.

    No doubt there will will be some who think de jong is the pnly midfielder in Europe who won improve our team though

    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.

    So...important question -- are we pressing?

    After all this training our players still take 10 mins to pass a ball out from the back

    Hmm, strangely negative for someone who was telling me how great our pre season recruitment was. Those very good signings not having the impact you’d hoped then?
     
    That was so painful to watch….To see Brighton boss us around on opening day at OT!!I don’t expect to see miracles overnight and this might be a tough season,but that first half was unacceptable!!

    Some fans being picky with midfielders makes me laugh. You could probably pluck 100 midfielders out there before you would play these 2. More

    Josh Cullen is better than either of them at anchoring a midfield. If he is, literally hundreds are.
     
    That ogre Avram Glazer has some fecking balls to be turning up at Old Trafford for todays game.
     
    Once again, no one worthy of more than a "1" and once again no candidate for MoM. I demand an apology from all those who said I was being negative pre-season. It's possibly worse than I forecast.

    While the 45-point turn delivery truck is at CB and a keeper who gives his defence no confidence is there, it will be the same old story
     
    Set up for a ronaldo hattrick and the fans to forgive everything...ffs
     
    Any old Utd players should be replaced, I was to see young players. Garnacho will probably do more than Rashford. I don't understand why ETH think Bruno can play a false 9. This guy has been hiding for last 12 months.
     
    McTominay has got to be pulled at half time. Might as well just give him the second yellow ourselves and play with 10.

    Is Caicedo the united fan who we could have got for next to nowt? he's run us ragged in midfield.
