  • 1000% We would never have been challenging regardless, the injuries have been terrible, his use of budget in summer was poorly judged…. But despite all of that, his complete unwillingness to play a different way has been what has cost us most...
  • He’s a limited player… and probably not one we should be looking to sign in summer. But he has been SOOOO underused this season. Especially when Casemiro has been injured/out of form. We just look more solid with him in the team.
  • Multiple cup finals… so exactly like Ten Hag then. Ah well, I guess this is what it’s all about anyway. Opinions. But think I take the intel off the Bayern fan above who has watched them all season. And who makes a very good point about their...
  • The competition is irrelevant… If it was an FA cup semi against a decent prem team… the comparison still stands. It’s the instinct to make that type of change that puts fans off. Anyway, l’m not even saying I don’t think he’d be an...
  • Forget the Kane and Musiala subs for a second. If united were in a cup semi final. A goal up. In our typical shape. And on 75 mins ETH takes off Garnacho from the wing to bring on Lindelof to put into a 5 man defence. And we go on to lose that...
  • How can’t people understand that going to a deep shape away from home, when you aren't even particularly under pressure, only a goal up, with 20+ mins to go, is going to invite more pressure and shots on goal from dangerous areas? Exactly the...
  • So after all the time wasting which they were clearly playing for from about 70 mins, still 20 mins before the final whistle then? If it’s true about injuries, then fair enough to an extent.. But I felt it in real time. They weren’t even...
  • Of course they have… And I don’t think most are saying he wouldn’t be an improvement. But honestly, try and think of a single match where Pep, Klopp, Ferguson… hell even Mourinho would remove the entire front line and go 5 at the back, only a...
  • Man the naivety of people putting that down to a goal keeping mistake… The changes made increased the opportunity for a mistake like that to happen ten fold. 75 mins left… take off your entire front 3. And go to a back 5. Only a goal up…...
  • Trying to shut up shop from 75 mins away at Madrid, only a goal up…. And replace all your goal threat to remove any ability to get ahead again if Madrid equalise… How anyone can call that anything other than what it is, is beyond me. Atrocious...
  • Such a Scholes performance so far. Dictating play, and range of passing amazing.
  • Another thread where the truth of the situation is probably somewhere in the middle of the extremes expressed here. That being that he is an incredibly talented lad, especially with the ball at his feet, and will have plenty to offer for years...

    That felt like those couple of games G Nev played right at the end of his career when he realised his legs had gone…. But I don’t buy into that he is so much less physically capable this season than he was last season. And I’m not speaking about...
  • We bought him for tactical reason… because he is “calm” on the ball… But failed to notice that so many of his goalkeeping fundamentals are hilariously bad.
