Manchester United 1:2 Fulham

Hoof the ball · Feb 24, 2024

I see Amad has been well compensated for his very good half vs Forest. :lol:

Great game, lad. Now sit down, you're not getting another minute. Infact, I'm going to play an even lesser experienced kid ahead of you.

Meritocracy at its finest.

They’re not pressing either

Yes they do, but it's a terrible shape with our fullbacks not stepping up into the space left behind them and the back line on our own penalty area (meaning it's fecking terribly coached which is my entire issue with Ten Hag)

FreakyJim · Feb 24, 2024

my god we're shit

Casemiro should go to S.Arabia or MLS, he's done.

BorisManUtd · Feb 24, 2024

Poor but not surprising. First part of the half was awful as we basically did nothing while Fulham had 2-3 chances. Then 2nd part of the half was better but we were vulnerable on counter.

Rashford is not a striker unless we're playing away from home and on counter. So I'd switch him to the left, Garnacho to the right and then someone else through the middle, perhaps McTominay.

I wonder if he's pissed off that Klopp and Tuchel are leaving... must have had his eye on Alonso (if he's serious about getting us back near the top)

I know it is pointless attacking Marcus since he will get 90min no matter what. But just how does EtH accept such laid back performances week in week out, absolutely beggars belief

Who should be drop him for? Bare in mind hes already dropped him this season

Garnocho is a winger. McTominay isnt a striker might as well play Bruno up top. McT isnt going to hold the ball up and bring others into play so chances develop

Does Rashford hold the ball up? Garnacho was seen as an inside winger who could only cut in and shoot before he was moved to the other wing and showed he can create chances on the outside also. It's easy to move the goalposts when someone's proven they can perform. The narrative was very different until we actually tried something different.

He told them to walk too apparently. It’s the same thing in attack though and the difference between the opening 30 and the last 15 was players being more proactive off the ball.

Everything they do wrong is the manager's fault. Everything they do right is Moments FC.

Missing Hojlund massively but no excuses as we should be doing better.

Andreas better than Bruno so far. Very tidy and makes good decisions.

If only we had experienced them both playing for United in the same season, so we could judge which player was well clear of the other.

he's no better than antony and at least antony looks vaguely interested

I keep hearing this, and I don't disagree, but Bruno and Rashford both look considerably worse. I feel like they're done too.

No subs? Really ETH?

We're missing our best CB and our only decent striker though.

Don't get me wrong, that's part of the problem for me. We don't know how to play well unless we're full strength.

There's that, of course, but Fulham are also missing their most important player and their joint top scorer.

I still think we will beat them, but this "football" is unsustainable, in my opinion.

mitchmouse · Feb 24, 2024

no changes at half time... right, because it's going so well...

Apart from Garnacho but Forson has been lively, we're just not getting him the ball enough.

Forson has been really really poor. But it is to be expected, he has been asked to play from the start in an extremely disjointed team with no help from midfield or his fellow forwards to take some responsibility. He also doesn't look very talented.

My guess is that in three/four years Forson and Amad will both have left United. Amad will be lighting it up at somewhere like Real Sociedad, while Forson will be playing for Reading.

We will look back at this game, wondering what the feck we were thinking.

Seems a likely outcome.

Can’t help but feel we could be walking all over them if we switch Bruno for Eriksen and Amad for Forson just to retain a little more possession and control.

This ‘best transition offense’ is feeling like a reliance on speed merchant capabilities of our fastest players and Bruno’s first time long balls.

It’s so fascinating. Then we’d hear stuff about performing in training.

Do I have to explain why running matters in football or is this something you can figure out on your own?

Given his refusal to endorse ETH after being asked multiple times by various reporters,I think ETH's already on very thin ice

Scott Mctominay? Play Amad on the wing and let Garnacho play striker. Antony would be shite as a striker, but he fights at least.

RedIan · Feb 24, 2024

Im at a loss why Amad is not featuring more. Sunderland fans raved about him. Wasted on the bench.

mitchmouse · Feb 24, 2024

I swear Rashford and Bruno could turn up in a tutu and ballet shoes and they'd get picked

Bobski · Feb 24, 2024

Muniz has excellent hold up play.

Von Mistelroum · Feb 24, 2024

Unless I've missed some runs, Forson might be the slowest winger we've ever played.

mitchmouse · Feb 24, 2024

Predicting a 1-0 defeat... we'll concede and heads will drop (if it's possible for some to look even less interested)

Catt · Feb 24, 2024

Varane limping.

So we are going to pretend the caf was not calling every week for Antony to be dropped?

Are you okay, mate?

Dazzmondo · Feb 24, 2024

I was worried that the slight improvement in last 5 mins of 1st half would lead to no changes at half time. We need them badly. Garnacho's doing well but aside from that it's bleak

Rightnr · Feb 24, 2024

What is with footballers tearing their socks up nowadays, especially the backside.

Are they to tight or is the quality too shite and they just damage easily?

Yes, sadly he looks really slow. Expected him to be picked ahead of Amad due to physical attributes, but haven't seen anything of that today.

Orton · Feb 24, 2024

Casemiro is literally 2nd best to everything.

kiristao · Feb 24, 2024

Casimero for Mactominay, Mainoo as DM and Amad for Forson.

Too tight

Look at them on our bench, they look lost
