To be fair, when we played a 4-2-3-1 under Ten Hag in his first season, we finished 3rd and won a trophy. It wasn’t until he attempted to implement a higher defensive line and shift towards a single pivot that we became completely exposed, leading to a significant increase in chances and goals conceded.

To be fair, when we played a 4-2-3-1 under Ten Hag in his first season, we finished 3rd and won a trophy. It wasn’t until he attempted to implement a higher defensive line and shift towards a single pivot that we became completely exposed, leading to a significant increase in chances and goals conceded.Any rivers in Manchester tonight?Ugarte getting some positive recognition on BBC1 which is nice to see.All pundits - again - saying amorim has to adapt and not be so stubborn. and wayne defending rasmus. agree with both stancesWe have no pace in that starting 11. No Amad, no Dorgu, no Garnacho, all for different reasons. Dying for us to get some pacey players in the summer.Rooney looking the healthiest he’s looked for years.
Rasmus has pace but he’s used with his back to goal now a days and hardly anything good played down the channels for him to run on to.Why did the commentator say Fulham haven't won a major trophy in 145 years?Mirror hinting this morning that ruben is playing major clearout in the summer... in the old days we'd be in for Cunha and Isaak, right now it's my gran and her neighbour (both died long ago)Glad Yoro carries on playing left sideI think Casemiro should be on to give us a bit more pace.What a slow midfield.Why not include 2 more kids on the bench.. Amass and Fletcher perhaps?
Yep. That's what I was hoping we wouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face regarding the disciplining of Garnacho over his reaction to being subbed. We desperate need his (decent) pace and individual threat running with the ball having lose Amad and Dorgu (and Rashford, again for another different reason).
It sounded like they'd sorted it out. But surprised to see him only on the bench given how much we need that kind of player out there.only seven subs... this is getting silly. Like to see Heaven gets some minutes if we by some miracle are strolling
Why assume he's being disciplined?
What is left to clear out
The Irwell.
And this is why Ruben is continuing to show how much of a rookie he is?
If the game goes to extra time, you can make a 6th substitute. I’m fed up with how under prepared our coach is for English Football.
The bench is madness he could easily have selected 3 kids like Jack Fletcher, Jack Moorehouse and Mantato, he really does mean what he says when he said he doesn’t care about cup competitions.
This coach won’t survive more than 5 or 6 games next season, that’s if he gets that far, the part he’s missing is No European Football next season No major transfer funds and SJR will be quick to tell him you had 27 PL games and three cup competitions to get your message across and get the club into Europe, work with what you’ve got?Onana bingo…what mistake leading to a goal will he make today?Højlund 17 games without a goal. He really shouldn't play
He will score a hat-trick today.Be
Because It’s clear the coach doesn’t understand the rules , especially if we go to extra time, maybe he’ll bring on the 63 year Old Goalkeeping coach!This is going to be so one paced.Shocking lineup and bench but maybe we can break the cycle of me doing a running race in the morning and us losing a home game in the afternoon. It's happened three times now, every 2 weeks. This would be the 4th time..
Luckily I've not raced this morning so I hope that breaks the spell!
We had worse. We only had TWO players in the bench in the 1990 FA Cup final. Fergie was clearly doing something wrong.Craig Burnley and Hecules Gomez talking mad shit on the pre-game stuff. Why, and how. Who hires these dumb cnuts?
Pipe dream
I guess because they played nearly 120 minutes on Friday? Well, I think Amass did.
Although in general I agree. Amass or Kamason should start making the bench, especially with Dorgu suspended and Diallo out for the season. So few senior options at WB. Even Antony was an option before he went on loan!Our attackers are allergic to shooting.Last edited:Dalot took on his man and crossed, from the left, TWICE!!
zirkzee should have had a shot therefeck me Zirkzee your passes are so shitWTF is Zirkzee doing passing backwards in that position?
He will play a blinder rather than his usual blindZirkzee is good -- as long as he doesn't have to give the ball to anyone else, and also as long as he doesn't have to shoot. If we somehow got points for holding onto the ball with footwork, we'd be onto something.
More like allergic.Zirkzee, we want to score
not blaming anyone - I was talking about the number of injuries we must have... oh and the rules were different in 1990Feels like we’re trying to play it a little quicker than normal. Let’s see if they can keep it up
