    Awful. Lost to Kaneless Spurs team. Was lucky to get 3 points last week. The midfield is non existent, no striker, Antony is shite. ETH need to sort it out pronto. Also wtf the spurs fans throwing all that rubbish to Onana?

    Yeah it's his fault these players are shite for every manager they play under.

    Half the starting 11 he signed, what are you on about?
    Also what the feck was the tactical plan today? And why does the team look unfit compared to other teams after pre season?
     
    At this rate, Brighton will pip us to top 4. Pathetic performances twice now.
     
    Amrabat isn't going to fix the physical issues in midfield, he is energetic yes, but a bit pedestrian in his movement. If this is Cas's physical level this season he is done, really hope it is just his usual slow start.

    Fred could definitely have been upgraded but getting rid of him, replacing him with a completely different type of player in Mount and expecting the team to perform was incredibly stupid and ETH deserves a lot of criticism for it imo

    Can’t argue with that mate
     
    I'm not convinced by the midfield. It's too porous and incapable of sustaining pressure on the opposition. Bruno is too gung-ho and Mount has not proven himself yet as being the more measured midfielder that can keep things ticking. Casemiro is who he is.

    Either we bring someone else in the midfield so Bruno can push up, or a right back that can displace AWB and invert next to Casemiro allowing Mount and Bruno to push up while not impacting the buildup.

    Yeah Antony is a problem but he should not be coming for the ball this deep.

    Our fitness is the biggest concern for me. Not going to panic after two games, better team won. Is what it is.

    I hate these long distance tours, they say they are for fitness, but the games are bitty, half a team here, half a team there. We know the likes of Shaw and Casemiro are slow starters, put them on stringent fitness regimes.
     
    Superb cross from Eriksen. Who must be a better bet than Mount. Every day of the week.

    Indeed. He isn’t solving anything. United need energy and he isn’t that
     
    We were extremely wasteful on the first half, now spurs (friggin spurs!) got the advantage of us in the second half.

    We can’t keep playing the world’s third best LW as a CF. We desperately need Højlund fit and playing. We need to bench Antony for Sancho. And I’m even thinking we may need Voldemort’s input.
     
    Feck it. We looked really off the pace in the second half. Worrying but it’s only one bad result and we were much better in the first half. Second half was like the whole game against wolves. We still look unfit and lacking intensity and sharpness in front of goal. We badly need to start taking our chances when they arise. Anyone who gets at us will be able to do it easily when they are confident that we won’t just go up and score

    These are professional athletes. If they can't get themselves into good shape by the time the season starts they shouldn't be getting a salary
     
    From what we've seen so far we have regressed quite a bit. What's concerning about that is we weren't even that good anyway
     
    If we had money I'd say put in a huge bid for the brighton winger Mitoma but at this rate we'll be playing maguire there. some of our passing would enbarrass a six year old but it's a disgrace that we haven;t got a young number nine in the academy who could come in
     
    Absolutely shit, nothing not 1 player has been of any substance, if I'd pick one its Onana.. these guy showed last season they can be much much better, if we don't see any improvement we're in trouble.. because it's rubbish
     
    Yep we really do have some issues. I'd like to hear Ten Hag address directly in the interview after that something is going wrong.

    We should have had 2 pens and Bruno missed a sitter but that doesn't change the fact that we look like a scrappy team hoping to fight off relegation in the majority of open play in these 2 games and a lot of pre season.
     
    All our player are just plain stupid, they all refuse to look up and find the player in better position outside of bruno.
     
    Antony was terrible 2nd half, and should be benched and earn his place back in the team. I seriously worry for those that have bombarded Pellistri as their hero.
     
    The simple truth is there isnt a single player in our front five that has the phsycicality or tacklign abilty to don anything but press and we arent good at it anyway. Leaves Casemeiro isolated and us over ran.

    I rate the player so this isnt actually slating him individually, but Mason Mount is a terible signing as a number 8, it isnt going to work....both Mainoo and Hannibal would be better number 8's than Mount.

    Mounts only value as a signing is for the positions he is good at and that is on the left and as an attackign midfielder. I say that as Garnacho isnt ready to start and as fantastic as Rashford was for a spell, lets get it straight it was literally a purple patch of 4months, he faded the end of last season and needs competition for the starting place....but I see that already coming from Sancho and Garnacho from the bench.

    SO the other position is attacking midfield where Fernandes plays and as good as he can be at times he is so often wasteful....but Eriksen isnt a viable threat for me as he is nearly done.

    Fo me it is Casemeiro with Mainoo as a back up in that position as well as competition for Mounts position....but Mount isnt to play there he is competition for Fernandes....We have spunked £60m o a number 8 that isnt one and need to sign another and that fault lies with the manager for me.

    The first season honeymon is over, it was actualyl not better than Ole or Mourinhos first season. I like Ten Hag but I havent developed faith liek so may after one season, its this second season where so many have failed he shows how good he is and personally, I think that Mount signing could come back to haunt him if we dont sign another, as does failing to sign a second centre back and a secodn striker
