One of the criteria for the new owners must be to keep him.
Whether we get a new striker in January or not does not alter my views about EtH.
He is in my opinion an elite coach.
At the moment a little way behind Pep and Klopp.
But as good if not better than anyone else in the PL.
If this happens we'll have our best season post Fergie...Buy him a striker.
The next two league games will show us what he's made of and how far away we are from where we want to be. But I certainly don't go into these games expecting the absolute worst.
Obviously there are some results earlier on in the season which didn't look good, with or without signings...but give the man his dues. He's battled against the Ronaldo PR, he's proved he handled Casemiro correctly, he's brought Shaw and Rashford right back into top form, he's made two useless looking RBs look quite good. If he can squeeze more out of Martial and Antony as well as getting Sancho somewhere back to his best, we're laughing.
If we can get Sancho cooking then that would honestly be such a game changer in the 2nd half of the season. Rashford with him learning how to use his body now through the middle, Sancho on one wing and then the other side rotating with Antony, Garnacho, or Martial coming in some times... There's so much potential in our attack, just needs to click and some of the underperformers to show some belief again. Currently our only performing attackers are Rashford and Garnacho.Buy him a striker.

I’m on the fence now about how important a striker is. What’s gone under the radar is our defence, a lot of people point to needing goals but we don’t need that many goals to win a match. What he’s done to our defence is nothing short of sensational.Buy him a striker.

I’ve been on the fence about him for most of the season but he’s slowly convincing me, he’s done well so far. It’s a shame we don’t really seem to be chasing anyone this month, it’s been said a million times already but a clinical striker and more options in the midfield would help him out a lot.
I agree to an extent...there's a solid foundation defensively, but having not played a good team for quite a few weeks I'm keen to see what happens when challenged by a proper top 4 side post-world cup.I’m on the fence now about how important a striker is.

Yeah, I didn’t know much about him before he came other than what I’d read, and the slow start definitely didn’t help. I don’t think it would have been fair to fully commit to backing him or not so early, I’d even say now it’s early days.For most of the season, really? First two games were turbulent but after that he's had us playing our best football in over a decade, whilst rejuvenating players that looked like they couldn't do the basics.
Since the City game we've played 16, won 13, drawn twice and lost once.
Scored 30
Conceded 10
Clean Sheets 10
Now counted four wins in a row. Let’s do the fifth next!
Think he means in the league.We've won 6 in a row, them two meaningless friendlies in the middle, when most of the team were at the WC, don't count.
Only Arsenal have won more games in the league. Well done.
Read somewhere that Van Der Gaag has a major role in setting up the defenceI’m on the fence now about how important a striker is.
