    Has to be an obligation to buy, otherwise it's pointless.

    Nah no way I just saw a stat — Mason Mount made 15 passes in 85 minutes yesterday

    How the f*** did we find someone who gets on the ball even less than Scott McTominay

    Mason Mount answers the question of what Thomas Muller would look like if he was half as intelligent as he is off-the-ball

    Are we at least better than Chelsea?

    That's a low bar. Mudryk is one of the few players who's flopped more than Sancho though.

    Ralf really recommended us players like Alvarez Diaz Haaland Nkunku Gvardiol Nkunku Vlahovic and Enzo, while we ended up with Antony, Eriksen, Malacia and Mount. We NEED someone with good talent ID asap in charge of transfers, not some d***head like Murtough or Woodward and not a manager that had not scouted a player in his life before coming to our club like Ten Hag or Ole. Like someone who actually knows what he’s doing. Like if you kept Ralf and put someone next to him with good negotiating skills we would have spent that 500 mil or so we’ve spent over the last 2 years a lot better.

    Ten Hag only started doing great things at Ajax after Overmars stopped getting him FC Utrecht players (ETH former club)

    Like people now saying get in De Zerbi like that would change anything. You think De Zerbi is the one that got in the likes of MacAllister, Caicedo, Ferguson, Mitoma and now those Enciso and Pedro guys? No, it’s cus they have an excellent recruitment system in place and executives that act on it.

    Not saying he isn’t a great manager, but get De Zerbi in at us under our current executives and I can guarantee you he’ll become another Graham Potter

    That's why I find it wild when people want to completely blame Ten Hag. The club is f***ed from the top down, so firing him and hiring somebody else would just lead to the same result.

    At this point it looks like there's no takeover happening though, which is pretty worrying bc that's the only way these things change.

    Sooo after letting things settle…

    I’m really tired of the “he’s playing out of position” excuse for Rashford, he’s arguably a worse player when he’s on the wing. When he’s up top he’s more of a non-factor, when he’s on the wing and he isn’t scoring goals, he’s an actively awful contributor to the team.

    His 3 month purple patch last year is largely the reason we’re playing CL football this year but idk, we should’ve engaged with PSG more seriously when they wanted him.

    I’m also getting tired of Bruno. People always talk about his big chance creation (and apparently we’re third in the PL for it this year already) but like where are they actually…? All the blame usually goes to our front three but I’m starting to think there’s a flaw with the stat itself, or at least how it’s used in relation to the chances Bruno creates. He has far more stinkers than he does good games, but he’ll light up every other game with an unreal pass that makes everyone (even me) go “OMG LOOK HOW GOOD HE IS”… it happened yesterday, but the overall game from him was poor. I genuinely think Mount had a better one, but he’s the one getting pelters this morning.

    One is on a brand new 300k+ a week contract and the face of the team… the other is the newly appointed captain. Just an awful situation to be in.

    Rant over lol.

    Well said

    nah bruno was very good 1st half he already created 2 big chances by then. bruno has been getting crazy xA last szn and he had weggy antony etc. bruno is genuinely world class. rashford you’re right about w/o his goals he’s useless when salah or kdb etc don’t score they at least can assist or press or control the game elsewhere. rashford pussies out of any duel doesn’t press just jogs about. maybe he is overplayed but he plays like he’s above the whole team

    Rashfords pressing was embarrassing yesterday. Looked lazy. I get he’s fruetsrated with lack of chances and how s*** we play but damn, at least he’s gotta hustle

    Literally all he does is run away from the ball. Which I don’t even blame him for cause he’s not a CM so I get that he’s scared to get the ball deep and turn etc. Everything about us is f***ed rn.

    he never presses tho he does it to maintain and preserve his body cos he knows he’s gonna get overplayed regardless.

  • Aug 21, 2023

    even if we get a huge fee for Varane, sure we can then by a decent midfielder but we are then short at the back ..smh🤔

    That Mou clip of him not playing up top is absolutely right (even if he did bag 30 goals last season).

    His play off the wing is inconsistent but he's just a lot better when he cuts inside and can run at full backs from that angle.

  • Aug 21, 2023

    Our midfield is ridiculous, I really don't see why we spent so much money on Mount when he doesn't fit the profile we need at all.

  • Aug 21, 2023

    Ten Hag was really gambling on a Mainoo breakthrough season and that stopped before it even started.

  • Aug 21, 2023

    Funny how we’re going to sell Varane then have to get Todibo who’s going to be costing twice the amount he would have been had we bought him two weeks ago. He’s gonna be 60 mil plus now, all the while Pavard is going to Inter for a measly €30 mil. It’s f***ing embarrassing.

  • Aug 21, 2023

    When I was barely watching that Leipzig-Bayern game everytime I'd look at the tab it was cutting to Olmo wheeling away and Pavard looking guilty like he'd just f***ed up. Keep Varane or get that Toledo lad

  • Aug 21, 2023

    Why on earth would we sell our second best CB to get Pavard on the decline or Todibo who's an absolute gamble at this stage?

    Despite all this negativity, I've been very impressed by Onana so far, has the right attitude and the leadership qualities we need in goal.
