It is if you’re Madrid. We should have been on a comparable level by the end of SAF’s reign but we’ve been totally fecked up by the Glazer criminals.

Unfortunately that is the big issue and while they are still around not sure much will change.

 

[santeria13]

Does Fernandes ever actually beat the first man from a set piece? And I mean literally ever? I'm almost positive he has a 98% chance to hit the first man or something. It's fecking ridiculous that he's ever on set pieces.

 

[Drifter]

Almost three

 

[kouroux]

And the system you want to replace it with is presumably one of them that has worked so well that it lead to us appointing a guy with a completely different formation in the first place.

Whatever was happening before (and it was fecking shite), it clearly wasn't as bad as this.
I don't think he was appointed with the idea things would get worse under his system.
At worst, it would have been about keeping us more or less at the same ranking and at best pushing for European places.

 

[DrRodo]

The 26 years of SAF gave us the idea that we would be unbeatable for ever and ever amen.
Football isn't like that folks

The thing is, all the other teams at the world elite at the time, none of them allowed their teams to fall this far below. Barca Real etc all of them have had rough seasons but they only take a couple of years and theyre back at the top

We are the only 2000s elite team which has taken more than 10 years to rebuild

 

[HankHill]

I know, doesn't he realise that he can stand and do nothing?

Don't worry, that energy and willingness will be sapped out of him in no time!

Enjoy it while you can!

 

[RoadTrip]

Look at Dorgu, running and trying.

Poor, naive fool.

Give him a few weeks of training and he will regress like everyone else we’ve signed in the past decade, don’t you wozza

 

[Squeaky_Bum_Time]

Anyone blaming the formation is not watching the game. No formation takes you from being second to literally every ball literally all over the pitch to not being so.

We look half asleep.

 

[laughtersassassin]

Can't believe people buy this shite. As if the club has zero responsibility and Erik somehow stole United's credit card and spend money on all these players.

The club has been terribly run for years on end and it's probably gotten worse since the Ineos takeover.

Trust me I blame the club too

 

[r0663664]

I don't know what ETH see in Hoijund.

 

[moodyred]

Zirkzee & Casemiro off, Eriksen and Garnacho on

And keep Hojlund?

 

[Oldyella]

I highly doubt anyone’s ruining his reputation of managing us. We’re a toxic place. Other top clubs will jump at Amorim

Maybe. He's young enough I guess to rebuild elsewhere.

 

[ItDoesntEvenMata]

Nothing gives me more joy at the end of an insipid half than watching our captain get fairly tackled but decide to roll around feigning injury instead of chasing the ball

 

[Superunknown]

Bruno is useless at set pieces.

Bruno Firstmandes

That could also be his pornstar name.

 

[2 man midfield]

Up the other end he blows the whistle rather than let the corner be taken

 

[sixdwarf]

Can't believe ETH wanted to buy all these bums. What an idiot

What's worse is that the club let him.

 

[thisisnottaken1]

The 26 years of SAF gave us the idea that we would be unbeatable for ever and ever amen.
Football isn't like that folks

I mean I agree, but surely it must be better than whatever the feck this is. Not even the relegation season was this bad.

 

[Dudu]

Someone please give me a reason to watch the second half?

 

[RedMarcus]

Why the feck hasn't Garnacho started when he's our only fast attacker? Mental this manager.

He's a lunatic and basically has one tactic. Which isn't working. He's a terrible choice as manager

 

[TrustInJanuzaj]

At least under Ten Hag, in spells we could build attacks and play out from the back. Now we have absolutely nothing.

 

[Leftback99]

Ugarte has not made a tackle in this half, if he is not tackling he is not really a factor.

Was a really ill thought out buy.

 

[gaffs]

Amorim is gone soon. Play Eriksen instead of Case. So straightforward.

Like that one change resolves all our issues?

 

[RoadTrip]

Bruno is useless at set pieces.

Bruno Firstmandes

United’s “quality” is rubbing off on you I see

 

[Superden]

after that 50 mins of turd, surely amorims got to give the kids a go. no point waiting till the 85th min.

 

[thisisnottaken1]

Unfortunately that is the big issue and while they are still around not sure much will change.

They should be in prison for life for their financial crimes

 

[DomesticTadpole]

It isn't what you or I think, it's a cycle which happens every number of years

Last time we had a cycle as bad as this we went down.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

Moyes going 4 points ahead of us by the end of today
This season has been a joke and it's getting worse. So fecking tepid.

 

[Tom Cato]

I want to throw up

 

[RoyH1]

I cannot seem to find joy anywhere anymore. Sigh

 

[JinnerJamie]

Yet another abhorrent performance

 

[Sky1981]

I dont even think we'd make top 4 in championship with this squad

 

[Ekeke]

2-0 down without Everton even playing that well despite their good form

Very sloppy with the ball, no creativity and our only slight success going forward is Dorgu has got free a couple of times down the left wing and put in poor balls. Still our best attacker so far

Poor defending in general although Maz made a good clearance at the end of the half. Thats it

 

[Orton]

We just can’t play this formation anymore. Players cannot keep their man. It’s so obvious. Full backs/wing backs always leaving the defenders exposed. Teams just run right through them.

 

[Posh Red]

Memories of a goldfish. We saw the same players serve up trash under two other managers now.

I just can’t fathom how someone can watch this team, and think a slightly different shape would make any difference at all

 

[criticalanalysis]

Bruno is useless at set pieces.

Bruno Firstmandes

why is this the first time I've heard this one

 

[WouterWeghorst]

We've inverted so many players and roles that we have even invented the inverted substitute, a player who is on the field but is not allowed to touch the ball or get involved. To be fair, Hojlund has played that role perfectly all season!

 

[RepardReece]

I actually can't believe our recruitment under ten hag, just braindead everywhere

 

[Matt851]

100% agree, sick and tied of the system being blamed, they are professional players on obscene money. They should be able to adapt to a damned change of system, his system requires athletes, and this shower are gutless and lazy. We can NOT sack another manager and let player power win again.

It's a completely different set of players to when ten hag started though.

It's obviously not entirely the system but that also seems to be making us worse

 

[Desert Eagle]

We are going nowhere as long as shite like Maguire and Bruno are still here. Rasmus and zirkzee are both not even close to the required level as well.

 

[ClassOf'99]

And keep Hojlund?

He's been isolated, at least give him a chance 2nd half with players closer to him, I've no excuse for Zirkzee nor Casemiro

I'll add MDL off for Yoro now too
