I am just so numb these days, not even reacting to losses. For all those who are still backing him and waiting till injured players are back, I believe they have blindfolded themselves to give comfort, because they don't want to think this upcoming Dutch Pep would be so out of sorts, after having a good first season.
The biggest difference between this and last season is Rashford. He had a purple patch in which he was scoring and creating all sorts of goals and this would bail us out. Plus having Casemiro and Licha also helped, but primarily it was Rashford and his goals/Wing play which was the difference for us.
This season our biggest issue is creating and scoring chances.
-Rashford has turned into the Old Rashford (erratic play, too selfish, poor work rate, work ethic and poor physically)
-Garnacho (too young and has currently too many flaws at this stage, lacks pace, physicality, decision making and finishing),
-Hojlund (lack technical ability to set himself up for chances, lacks dribbling, one footed, poor aerially, physically not as strong etc)
Antony (extremely one footed, poor crosser, lacks pace, physicality and dribbling)
Mctominay (Too many flaws to be a Manutd player)
The above mentioned is our esteemed front four (Bruno is used not as a number 10 these days). They all lack soo many basic features but the biggest one is they are not goal scorers, Hojlund had what 8 goals for Atlanta, Antony had poor goal scoring stats in Dutch league, Garnacho should never be a starter at this stage for Manutd and always used as an impact sub. Mctominay has scored the most goals ever in a premier league this season for the first time.
Except Rashford we don't have any player who can get us the goals, Bruno can, but he is used as an 8 these days, so he is never in those positions.
So anybody who thinks having our injured players back, will result in us creating and scoring chances are living in fools paradise, we have accumulated for ourselves one of the worst front 4 in the league, Is it not shameful that the likes of Westham, Villa and Brighton has players with more goal scoring ability and pedigree (eg. Bowen, Kudus, Ward Prowse and Pacquita), Villa (Watkins, Ramsey, Bailey etc), Brighton (Mitoma, Ferguson, Pedro) and I won't even try for the big sides.
Its just so disheartening having spent so much we have such a novice and toothless attacking lineup and which tbh has been available for most of the time, the injuries and suspensions have mostly been with the midfield and defense. Even today we had moved the ball well and gave the ball to our forward players plenty of times, but they either turned back and lost (Antony) or ran into players and head down approach (Garnacho) or could not do anything with it or was not strong enough (Hojlund). ETH has a lot to answer if he thought this was the front four players which would get him goals, because on the basis of this he deserve to be sacked for incompetence.
