Tbf, I don't rate Fulham - and this Brighton team with Billy Gilmour and James Milner in central midfield doesn't impress that much either.Awful opposition

You honestly wonder how we can lash so much money out and still need 2 or 3 real game changers in attack.Lost 3/5 preseason games including defeats to Arsenal & Liverpool. Lost the charity shield to City (admittedly on penalties). Then scraped past a poor Fulham team with a late winner. Now losing to Brighton.
So not much has really changed. People are just seeing what they want to see. We still look like a team incapable of creating chances, scoring goals or regularly winning matches.
I suggest Watch a game last season and watch the Fulham game and 45 mins today more closely .A platoon of new players and assistants, but nothing has changed. I think we know where this is going.
Disagree on Hojlund. His first season as a starter for any team in one of the worst United sides in history - still scored 16 goals.We’re playing better but we don’t have enough goals in this squad. Hojlund is never going to be good enough imo (cue the meltdown) but the kid just doesn’t look like he’s a good finisher, Zirkzee isn’t a pure goal scorer either. So we’re going to struggle this season to finish chances.
It’s a shame because we look better in every other department.
Using preseason results tells me you're either literally dumb, or bad faith
The love in last weekend for Maguire was strong in here.
Exactly. Højlund is a good finisher. If he were playing today we’d have scored.Disagree on Hojlund. His first season as a starter for any team in one of the worst United sides in history - still scored 16 goals.
Also the way he strikes the ball indicates he is a good finisher, just timings/service will come with age.
That's the problem really, isn't it? I know we are unlucky with injuries, but Højlund out injured and Zirkzee not being 100 % should not mean that we are completely toothless.We don’t have a striker on the field and having Bruno up there isn’t working because he won’t stay up top.
Zirkcee warming up at half time
It was. He played well last game and was the better of the two CBs but Maguire is a limited player who always has a mistake in him. He made a small mistake last week that only caused a minor dangerous moment but today his mistake cost a goal.
If ETH kept Maguire in based on his game from last week while he knows de Ligt is a better player, ETH made a big mistake imo.
We look way more solid than last season, but also incredibly boring. Our attacking play is just tragic. I don't think he'll be sacked and i expect results to be much better. But i really want to enjoy a united game and it's been a while.

Some useless individual performances but yeah all ETH's fault.Clear your desk and feck off!
We created lots of chances against Fulham but couldn't convert, what are you even watching?Lost 3/5 preseason games including defeats to Arsenal & Liverpool. Lost the charity shield to City (admittedly on penalties). Then scraped past a poor Fulham team with a late winner. Now losing to Brighton.

You're saying that as if you haven't seen shit individual performances for an age.You’re saying that like we haven’t been watching this shite for an age now.

This squad has been rubbish for years.
Ten Hags fault that disallowed goal!We’ve spent hundreds of millions bringing ETH’s own players in, the squad excuse isn’t going to fly anymore. If we’re consistently shite it’s on him.
