“Bruno is part of the world’s elite and has the ability to play for Real Madrid. That’s how special he is"
Thats a quote from Benni McCarthy who also said Bruno and Dalot were the only two who trained properly and that ETH lacked passion.
Maybe in a nutshell these last two statements sum up why.

Bruno is part of the problem. So too is rashford. Why are they being played for months and months when in tragic form. At this stage it is either EtH is being told to play them (in which case he should make that clear, or sub them off earlier and earlier) or he is seriously trying to play them back into form. In which case EtH is sacking himself over rashford and bruno.
Our standards are in the gutter and it starts with team selections and substitution decisions.

I read the article, its fair to read the whole thing imo.
Change of subject looks like shaw is out till December now. I am assuming his issues are not a simple injury anymore and one thing breaking down after another. We have to go into the market and get a left back in Jan. Even when he eventually gets back, its hard to see how he can stay injury free and not break down again.
Also read Mainoo out hamstring injury. when it rains it pours.

Dare I say Luke Shaw's injury history is probably pointing towards early retirement, like Phil Jones. He's unavailable more than he plays.

Again and again I ask why we have gone into another season with no left back?
There have to be questions over Shaw, went away with England but can’t be fit for who pays his wages. His career has to be in question given the constant set backs. Amass is just too young but whoever decided that we could do without an experienced left back after being without most of last season needs to answer questions.

To be fair I assumed they felt adding Mazraoui to our roster of dedicated leftbacks (Shaw and Malacia) alongside Dalot and Martinez was sufficient and I'm inclined to agree. The problem is that the two first choices have severe injury issues, they need to make a decision.

Players not training properly, jeez, where do you start with that?

Agree about leftback Redman. Surely the club must know that they have will not have many games this year with shaw or malacia. 50% of games will be someone filling in. I hope amas is ready second half, but he looked a bit off to be featuring in the first team too often.
