Misplacing 3 passes shouldnât leave us that wide open
Dalot and Mazraoui absolutely bomb forward before Kobbie even turns around
Ugarte over Casemiro in midfield would allows us to defend higher up and minimises the issue of being one man down in defence with our defence being higher up and less of a gap
Build up deep is what he wants to do ideally long term once players develop but with Rashford (confidence player) and Garnacho (lacks quality) starting and it being against Liverpool, I think we couldâve focused on going long more to get more chances but we had better xG so our chance creation wasnât awful it was lack of quality that got us
Iâm not sure how much it changed but would like to see this for the second half, this tweet is a bit dramatic for a game where we had level chances and conceded 3 goals from shots worth 0.90 xG, felt mostly down to quality and legs not chance creation or tactics but open to counter
youâre a more optimistic person than me, but yes reducing the gaps has to be a priority - the gap between zirkzee/bruno and the rest of the team due to the stupid âpressâ we use now (no sense in even trying it without mount) is shambles.
Second half was better but Liverpool were clearly just seeing the game out, far less intense but they still forced turnovers and we could have conceded another 2 (though we couldâve scored 2 as well)
I also think we are quickly approaching the point where the squad has lost faith in ten hag and even if he somehow figures it out he wonât be able to get the players to buy into new ideas.
Martinez has looked half the player he was since he came back, itâs f***ing sad man.
Lowkey he was only fine pre-injury
random users who support tiny clubs coming into the thread to tell us what to do with our manager
club in crisis going into the international break
football is back
Weâre back baby đ¤
Did the keeper make a save today? Heâs another one that lets us down massive
Luis Diaz expected goals today were 0.24 in total. He scored 2

The main problem is that itâs not just Casemiro constantly misplacing passes (heâs been doing that for over a year now) itâs almost everyone in our team that couldnât give a proper 5 yard pass. Liverpool had a good pressing system today and our players were absolutely clueless on how to handle it.

He was the best defender at the copa this summer. Itâs just something with this team. We got most of the real bums out and weâre still useless. When your defence is getting run through and your back line is Evans Lindelof and Kambwala itâs understandable, but when itâs proven players like De Ligt and Martinez thereâs something else thatâs going in your team that isnât making sense. I donât think itâs ever been more clearer that Erik is just not gonna be doing it for us.

I think if you rewatched the game youâd find instances we won the ball off them
But they have a shape. Itâs so easy for Eth to harp on about individual mistakes but the whole system is f***ed
We played so many hospital passes it just showed how totally out worked we were
Luis Diaz expected goals today were 0.24 in total. He scored 2
We basically donât have a keeper
He got signed for his distribution but i think thatâs mostly s*** as well
So many parts of our game we are just so far behind the competition on.
Feel like Amad gave us much more than Nacho and Rashford did at least and if Zirkzee was a better finisher the scoreline wouldâve been less embarrassing.
When ole said trophies can hide actual progress he looked like a bellend but god I wish we knew how right he was

Him saying trophies are an ego thing for a manager hits different, now that Ten Hag talks about his two cups every time he gets criticised

ETH has legit entered the Rafa Benitez zone of being rattled imo

Absolutely hilarious hearing him waffle on sky sports about XG and then say weâll see at the end of the season
You wonât have a job by the end of the year let alone season đ
Weâve been utter s*** since the Newcastle final really
55 pl games and a -2 goal difference since then
Itâs actually hilarious how weâve gotten the manager wrong for a decade. Like you actually have to try to do that.

I think Ole under Ineos wouldâve been better than what we have now

I blame Ole for a lot of whatâs still wrong with the club so I definitely disagree.
But he for sure knew how to coach a team to score goals!
