Garnacho isn't a striker. Do you want to play Garnacho down the middle?
You're making no sense.

You're making no sense.
Has he though? He keeps picking Casemiro Bruno and Rashford. if he had the bollocks he would drop them as they are generally out of form.
He had a phase of benching Rashford. He hasn't actually had Casemiro available much, and he has no ideal replacement for Bruno. He's benched Varane for periods too. He benched Ronaldo.
Again, there are many genuine critiques about ten hag but questioning his balls to drop big names isn't one of them.
They are, but they are also our bestlayers (whether you like it or not).
He’s stood up to Rashford publicly twice, he dealt with Ronnie and he dealt with Sancho. If there are players who need moving out, he will know about them and he will do it if he’s allowed to.
I said Rashford in the middle.. The times he played as striker last season he played well.
Hes fecking shite as a striker.
It was more like a half against Barcelona. And Ten Hag then played him there for another 5-6 games for some inexplciable reason.
I'd have preferred Fred down the middle as opposed to Wout, he's better in the air at least.
And Weghorst?
He wasn't last season though, he scored 8 non penalty goals in 1330 minutes as striker, or 0.54 goals per 90. A much better return than Weghorst.
Nah it's literally just Rashford who has thrown every manager under the bus since LVG at this point. And he's protected by idiots higher up in the club who presumably see him as the marketing cash cow and home grown poster boy. We'll have to suffer him forever unless he gets injured or tries to force his own way out.
Lindelof, Dalot, Shaw, McTominay and Martial are the only ones who played under Jose. Martial is leaving, Shaw is permacrocked and the others are hardly a problem in terms of squad harmony/effort levels.
But Ten Hag has played Casemiro and Bruno every minute they're available regardless of performance levels. He dropped Rashford for off field stuff but has shown he's just as immune to being picked on form.
Marcus is no good through the middle. He is a left sided forward/attacker.
Name the fixtures Weghorst played in a 10 and was really bad.
When was this and how many games was it he didn't play?
Last season he was by far the better option, he played well there. This season is a different story.
Not many, just a couple I think in December.
Practically all of them. He didn't get a goal or an assist as a 10 for us. It also meant that our most creative player was played out of his natural position to accommodate him, another Ten Hag brain fart.
So not really a "phase" then. Just the odd match and I can't even remember that but I think it was very few.
Weghorst was a stop gap. He was very useful for the team with his pressing, his work rate in the box and decent at bringing others into play.
Even though he barely scored (which was bizar, I guess he just isn‘t quick enough), he was an asset for the team.
He played De Jong out of the game against Barcelona. Great attitude.
Probably the worst player I’ve ever seen in a Utd shirt, relative to his position.
In other words, we're supposed to believe he's trying to transition to a new style that doesn't fit Rashford, that he will achieve it by having newer players that are different from Rashford, but yet continues to play Rashford currently.
Doesn't seem like he really believes in this new style of play you guys insist he's trying to instill. Seems more like he really likes the style of play that United are currently doing since match week 1, which Rashford perfectly suits.
Mount seems like a good replacement. Nobody is the same as Bruno or any individual player. Surely he's good enough to sub off Bruno a couple of times. Even if you believe in Bruno, it makes sense to rest his legs.
Weghorst is the worst Utd player I've seen in my lifetime. Not including players who made one appearance in a dead rubber end of season match or something.
He was not very useful for the team, he was absolutely fecking awful.
He was not very useful for the team, he was absolutely fecking awful.
In my lifetime he's not even close!
How old are you?
Over 60
Here's a few for you
I did say he's the worst player not including players who made 1 or 2 appearances here and there.
And I'd say Miller and Kleberson were both not as bad as Weghorst anyway. They both scored as many in less appearances and neither were strikers.
There was no need to include poor Liam and the correct answer is Obertan or tosicHere's a few for you
None of the players mentioned above, Obertan or Dong or Prunier or Tosic started something like 15 matches in a row for us , or started in a cup final or started in big games against Barcelona and Liverpool and Arsenal etc.
How about Ralph Milne and Peter Barnes
Of course they didn't, there was a reason for that!
Weghorst shouldn't have been doing any of that !
He was fecking terrible!
That's part of why he's the worst player I've seen for Utd. It was like if Prunier was allowed to play for us for 30 games.
This. He was a player of the absolute lowest quality. "Hardworking" and "positive attitude" are admirable traits, but his actual ability and impact were bottom of the barrel stuff.
There it's been fix.
Why is he still manager? The last 4 results would get the sack at any top club
The work rate of the attacking players yesterday vs ours… and they are twice as good as ours too
As much as I dislike Weghorst, both in personality and footballing ability, I think there is something to say about how Ten Hag utilised him.
Remember, last season there was no proper striker, with Martial being injured and all, and yet even with a shite striker such as Weghorst we were still on an impressive run.
While no one looked to Weghorst to provide us with any goals, he did offer build up play, ball retention and, when he dropped down the field, he created space for Rashford to rush down the channels which allowed him to perform the way he did last season.
Again, absolutely no fan of Weghorst at all, but you got to give Ten Hag some credit for making the best of a shite situation. And it actually worked.

What are we waiting for?
To be fair Hojlund, Bruno and for most of this season Garnacho all work hard. Only Rashford can’t be bothered (Amad I’ve not seen enough of).
No, I believe Rashford is a key part of Erik’s plans. Marcus being out of form this season doesn’t change that fact.
Nope, last season we had no option but to play him there. That’s why Weghorst played so much in the end of the season. We have had few and poor options up front since Ronnie threw his strop.
