Think Garnacho had two equally easy ones to be honest.Agreed. All good chances. But Eze's was simply the easiest to convert.

You said it yourself, it really doesn't say much to be a slight improvement from last season.Results have not been great but in the general the football has been better in these 5 games than any 5 game run you could pick out from last season. That isn't saying much, last year was so astonishingly inept it is not much of an achievement, but we have seen a slight improvement.
I mean that still shouldn't be close to good enough though.
We do look a lot better than last season but last season was disgracefully poor. I still don't think we're very good, we're just better than rock bottom. 3rd season in charge, it should be much better than this.
I think he did the right thing with the defense getting ball players across the entire defence. He's going to have to move away from Bruno though. He needs to go get another cm. Someone who is going to get high volume passes with very high accuracy and range. He needs to play that player with Mainoo and Ugarte probably in a flat three.Absolutely the right take which is why I was really in favour of signing Rabiot who would have been a short term fix but would have got us into the top 4.
100% this. Please soon.Exactly. This is Season three and all we're hearing from his supporters are yet more excuses. I don't give a damn about excuses anymore. Either we get results or we feck him off, preferably while we still have something to play for this Season.
Not sure how I can deflect in response to a post by you not aimed at me, are you sure you know the meaning of the word?Once you've stopped deflecting - are you going to answer my post?
For reference - this is the "bashing":
Long term it counts for a lot, as there's only so long you can go getting undeserved results.
Palace could easily have scored a couple, we could easily have scored over double that. Had we finished our numerous chances, this game would have been simple, which again brings us back to the complaints being about our poor finishing rather than the manager or the setup.
Antony deal doesn't look as bad because of Amad and Garnacho. With Mount it was quite obvious that summer we needed a younger more mobile Eriksen. ETH wanted to be clever and went for something totally different, Mount is a good player but absolutely the wrong profile.That and the Antony deal.
If only we had a better team above him then. Mount is a signing you make when you already have all the pieces to the puzzle.
Todays result was frustrating and while its still early days INEOS trust in Ten Hag is starting to show. We have seen glimpses of what this new and improved United team can do in the last few matches and results will follow the performances.
Progress is measured by results
Logic that gets Arteta sacked after year 2.Exactly. This is Season three and all we're hearing from his supporters are yet more excuses. I don't give a damn about excuses anymore. Either we get results or we feck him off, preferably while we still have something to play for this Season.
No such thing mateFinishing is a huge part of the game, it's not merely something incidental - you can't give credit for other aspects of the performance but at the same time completely hand-wave away the inability to actually put the ball in the back of the net.
The last 20 minutes or so looked as if he's finally told the players to stop being so fecking naive in chasing a game/scoring more, so they've gone too far the other way.
Those chances Palace had scared the shit out of us. Our mental fragility reared it's head again, worsened by Ten Hag's pathetic game management.He is not getting inside the players heads like Guardiola does for city.
That final twenty minutes under ferguson, we would have been pressing for a goal. Instead it looked like we settled for a point. Players had basically given up.
Heh, I get this reference!No such thing mate
Yep that's exactly what he's turned us in to. And many here seem to be happy with how low the bar has moved.He has us as a upper midtable club playing for Europa qualification.
ETH seemed happy in the end which was absolutely unbelievable. I think ETH's main aim is to keep avoiding the sack for as long as possible, which just means another write-off of a season for us. The way we keep happily back passing in our own half in injury time with no urgency just made me furious and left me questioning whether we have already given up on top-4. ETH has successfully made mediocrity an absolute normal at united.
He's already made his coffin. Now he's driving in the nails.Lads, the bottom line is 7 points from 5 games. Is he good enough? Be honest.
Also add in his desire to avoid the sack. There is no way he is going to ask anyone to take any risk going for a win. It was just painful to see us settle for a draw and not create anything meaningful in last 20 minutes.Those chances Palace had scared the shit out of us. Our mental fragility reared it's head again, worsened by Ten Hag's pathetic game management.
I am serious. Todays result is frustrating for all of us but the performance was strong and on another day we could have easily won. The last few games have shown clear signs of a developing pattern of play and if we continue like this we will win more often than not.Is this satire? I'm honestly curious at this stage
We're West Ham nowHe has us as a upper midtable club playing for Europa qualification.

While watching the game against Southampton, I was telling a friend, the fact we rely on Eriksen to do what he does is ETH downfall.
I feel among all the signings the Mount deal was the worst, he really got it wrong then, that's were he suppose to go get a younger Eriksen and that's what I expected that summer.
We'll never be a proper team unless we have a deep lying player who is composed, intelligent with passing range in his pump.
I haven't seen what he actually said post match, but obviously it would be what people want to hear. The way we played in last 20 minutes (10 of which was probably just passes between Onana and Martinez with no urgency of moving forward) says it all.Well that’s not what he said in his post match interview
He said the win is we didn’t lose .Well that’s not what he said in his post match interview
Isn't that down to a lack of leadership on the pitch coupled with the manager failing to get a message across, I get the impression that when the players see subs come on they get a messsage to sit back, and cause a stale mate instead of going for that winning goal.He is not getting inside the players heads like Guardiola does for city.

I tend to go that direction as well. Not overly bothered by the result, we've had a good game and on another occasion we're one goal up before Palace find their feet. It also seems to me like we're learning new things after each game. I don't expect this manager to take actions on those unfortunately. Bruno will be first name on the team sheet. Interesting what happens with Zirkzee now.Sometimes I question if you lot know anything at all about football outside of video games, YouTube, and the shite you read on social media that you all lap up as gospel.
I’d rather a 0-0 where we play like that vs. scraping some dog shit 1-0 where we play poorly. At least we’re moving in the right direction and not letting undeserved results paper over the cracks.
More points dropped thanks to his laughable game management. Can't wait for him to feck off.
