it’s not the manager, Liverpool have essentially had a great team now for nearly ten years, Slot is just moving it forward, if he came in at United and tried to do Ten Hags job, he wouldn’t be so comfortable.
Let’s see what happens once players like Van Dijk and Salah decide they fancy a move and he has to replace them

Well it looks like they found someone.

So you'd have gone into a match with Liverpool with two teenagers in the midfield three, with one of them having played 32 minutes of men's football in their life beforehand?

This manager stuff is a piece of piss.

That's also twice ref has played on with a head injury. It's harsh to stop for attacking thing but it's a safety thing and the ref is surely obliged to do it

Yeah we are already losing, he just has to play his game. If he manages to perform better than Casemiro in this half then I think thats the end of Case.

Low bar.

Oscar Bonavena · Sep 1, 2024

I wonder if that's Casemiro's last game in a United shirt

Erics_Collar · Sep 1, 2024

Why isn't Amass on the bench?

Mazraoui injury already? Looking like that gamble won't pay off. Good player when fit but this was always the concern with him.

eh ? it's a freak head injury what the feck was he supposed to do in that situation?

Well, not the not buying a left back gamble. That was stupid.

Pointing to the back of his head... take him off

There's been an extreme honeymoon with him with ton of credit in the bank not extended to other CBs. I'm glad we have three potential starter options there.

Casemiro being non-viable is a massive problem however. Mainoo can't do all the season by himself and that supposed everyone stay fit.

It might be sacrilegious to say it around here but I’m not convinced by Mainoo as a centre mid in the premier league. He has talent definitely, but I don’t see him impacting enough games. His lack of athleticism doesn’t help.

Please not another fecking injury

And not to a brand new signing who is an injury prone player

He's a ghost, hiding from midfield. One of the reasons Kirkzee keeps dropping deep is because our midfielders lack options.

I said many times we need to bench him too if he is not up for it

Good question.

Insanity · Sep 1, 2024

I wish he replaces Zirkzee with Eriksen and goes 442 diamond. Two man midfield will get overun with ot without Casemiro.

feck off. It’s a knee to the head, it’s just bad luck and nothing to do with him being injury prone.

Yeah Casemiro is done here. Better sell him to Saudi now and bring in Rabiot.

Why on earth would any sheikh watching this right now think ‘Casemiro deserves a lot of money to play in my team’?

It's not just Casemiro, the performances have been a disgrace this season.

A big loss here and Ten Hag is already under intense pressure. Nothing has changed

We haven’t played that badly though. Two individual errors have cost us. Infact all 4 of our goals have come from individual errors, 3 being Casemiro and Maguire against Brighton.

Our play hasn’t been terrible. Wasteful yes but there’s signs there.

poleglass red · Sep 1, 2024

We look impotent up front

kouroux · Sep 1, 2024

Zirkzee might actually be worse than Rasmus on the ball

Escobar · Sep 1, 2024

been saying this for a while... and get heaps of abuse for it

Hardly. Many fans say he is so so good and needs to play

Mazraoui has a history of getting hit on the head?

Ugarte plays it simple though. He’d of at least kept possession rather than try that stupid ball that Casemiro played which cost us the first one. And he’s also miles better at dribbling so he wouldn’t have lost the ball that cost us the 2nd goal as he’s much quicker and better at dribbling

Plays it simple to whom? That's the issue. The pass is bad, you don't pass the ball to a player that is surrounded by opponents and doesn't have an easy option.

Stating that someone plays it simple, when there is no simple option makes no sense. The ball should have been cleared and not passed to Casemiro that was the simple option and that's not a good one either. It's also not an isolated issue, it's one that exist with all our lineups regardless of who plays, we had the same issues with Eriksen, Bruno(when deep), Mainoo, McTominay, Fred. It's a structural issue with our transition game.

FFS Mazrouai. You better not be injured already.

He got kneed in the back of the head, it's not really his fault, TBF.

Probably not but maybe he won't likely be trusted in big games

Ya you're right, my river just cut to him on the ground. Concussion is unlucky

rabiot on a free is a no- brainer... sadly some at the club seem to have no brain

We have to hope that the new structure at the club includes keeping an eye on managerial market as well as the player market to at least build some consistency to whatever style we're trying to develop here.

United Hobbit · Sep 1, 2024

Surely the concussion decision should be made by an independent doctor

Why do you keep saying teenager like it's a bad thing? Cas looks like a sack of bricks out there.

It's more the front 3 for me. Bruno Pogba and Magic was decent. We just don't ever make the right decisions up top.

Yeah. Those 3 were able to keep the ball and create.

Sell to Saudi. Rabiot on a free. Dream scenario…with transfer window shut

It wants to be his Gary Neville moment where he holds his hands up as a pro and says - I’m done

simonhch · Sep 1, 2024

To be fair, there were a lot of us saying that Ten Hag had to go in the summer but the cup win brought out thee typically knee jerk and vocal section of the fan base and the overwhelming baying for him to continue paid off. That was just as predictable, as it was that most of the same people would be calling for his head as soon as the wheels predictably came off at the start of the new season.

This manager has routinely shown he doesn’t know how to set a team up and doesn’t have the first clue how to coach a team to score goals.

I’m actually quite chill about this. Ineose have us going in the right direction through recruitment and are doing all the right things. They won’t suffer a fool gladly. They’ll get the right manager in sooner or later and it’ll all click. But it’ll be a painful road until Ten Hag is gone. He’s absolutely miles out of his depth.

Jazz · Sep 1, 2024

Take Rash off and put Amad on

I fecking hope so.

Anyone could see that should have been a one-season and done transfer, here we are 3 seasons later and he's stinking the midfield up like a dead badger

He'd just about be Ok against a really rubbish opposition. LIverpool are too good.
