Is there not a slight flaw in your logic, when defending ETH, pointing to positive results in 2022/23, but then scapegoating the two players most responsible for delivering those results?
Your clearing missing my point I’m not defending ETH quite the opposite, I want to know as many fans do how you can spend £180m in the summer and the team go backwards by such a considerable margin?
Those two players have both stunk the place out this season whilst picking up £600k per week, why ?
What’s happened on the training field, what formation and team formation been tinkered with has had this effect or are these players in decline and must be moved on ?
ETH needs to go he’s lost 15 games this season bought Amrabat in to shore up the midfield, how’s that worked out ?
Trying to play a 4-14-1 or more likely 4-1-2-3 in the PL where you just have a quick CB that defends a high line and the wide areas was almost impossible with LVG team and he had Smalling who was fior all his faults 2 yards quicker than any CB we currently have. Old Trafford is one of the largest pitches in the PL and therefore offer huge wide areas to counter attack and attack a team that goes into a suicide 3-1-6 when in possession, when AWB plays you don’t see the deficiency so much because of his pace and one on one defending. for the record LVG tried this at Leicester in PL in his first season went 3-1 and lost 5-3 , he soon realised you can’t play that way in the PL
Playing so narrow at United is a huge issue and the reason we’ve been battered by Fulham, Palace, Galatasaray, Brighton, Bournemouth this season, last year with a more compact 4231 and Fred being undervalued we beat Arsenal, Barcelona, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs and City.
For his stubbornness alone, he should be sacked , thus is on the coach bit while we are sacking the coach we might as well have a clear out of players on big wages that can’t be relied on season after season?
