Diogo Dalot? Can anyone explain why he starts every week. Absolutely uselesss and a total liability in one of the key positions in this system.

Too good to go down. not if this form continues we aren't! All it takes is a couple of those below us to get 2 wins then The pressure will be on, and honestly do we trust this lot if that happens. I don't.
16 Feb 2025 21:00:36
The only luck we have at the moment is the bottom 3 are poor and not likely to get many points. If the bottom clubs were half decent this team would be in serious trouble.
With the injuries and way we are playing, we will be out of the cups soon enough. So no European football next season. Which hampers the ability to attract players along with reducing the money coming in to actually pay for them.
Can kiss goodbye to many players arriving in the summer. Well any decent ones anyway. Why on earth would you want to join United at the moment? You’d be better off joining Brighton or Bournemouth.
Seriously worried for next season. I don’t see a complete 180 happening and this team suddenly stumbling across a way to actually win games. If next season starts anything like the current one is going, then relegation becomes more of possibility. That being said, if next season does go like this one, RA will be out, and maybe the next guy can do something.
16 Feb 2025 21:57:58
Your wrong. Ok we lose millions by not qualifying for Europe but Sir Jim will make up the money by halving the wages of janitors and tea ladies. That will solve our issues.
16 Feb 2025 22:39:17
We didn’t even have the new manager bounce or phase of hope and optimism…just the same old crap.
17 Feb 2025 09:01:46
Aye Tim and that tells me that this is FA to do with the manager.
16 Feb 2025 18:25:51
Obviously, I hope I'm proven wrong, but, from what I've seen today, Ruben Amorim is a coward.
No substitution until the 91st minute when our clumsy team has been so easy for Spurs to dominate?
Nah, that's not United, that's f***ing spineless.
What an abysmal joke we are, pathetic!
16 Feb 2025 19:10:30
The combination of these players and this manager will get us relegated I’m not even joking! We are literally praying the teams below us keep losing because if they don’t we are screwed. The players are woeful but they can’t be changed so the manager has to adapt, something he seems unwilling or unable to do. He could have brought some of the kids on to add some f but instead he resembles eth by sticking with the status quo. Everton next week, that’s an L, where our next W comes from I honestly don’t know. SJR first year in control could end with relegation, that’ll look good on his CV.
16 Feb 2025 22:29:10
The only player that has improved since Rubin became manager is Antony.
07 Feb 2025 21:20:06
chasing shadows at home to Leicester.
07 Feb 2025 23:08:42
Chased them well enough to win though.
08 Feb 2025 07:12:54
C'mon GDS. I'm all for the banter with our rivals but right now we have nothing. We are the worst team in the Premier league and we look foolish trying argue with any other supporters.
08 Feb 2025 08:32:58
Banjoe, worst in the League? Come on mate, if that's how tou feel, youu may as well give up. I'm. findimg it wry frustrating bit as has been said so many times, a complete reset is needed. As Florence says, it's always darkest before the dawn, shake it out, shake it out.
08 Feb 2025 11:22:18
Robin is only in the door and of course we need to give him time but right now, I don't see any team worse than us in the league.
08 Feb 2025 15:30:12
Banjoe,
We’ve won 6 of our last 8 games, we just beat Southampton, Fulham and Leicester, we aren’t good but the facts will tell you that we aren’t the worst team in the league. Are you suggesting we just allow weird little trolls from other teams come on here with ‘banter’ when we are losing then don’t respond when we win? Seems pretty dull.
08 Feb 2025 17:52:31
Who am I to stop banter.
We may have won them games but as far as watching a game of football, it is horrendous and for me the worst/ dullest team in the league at this moment.
09 Feb 2025 18:39:06
Beats out of chafing shadows at Plymouth and losing😚😚😚.
09 Feb 2025 19:12:47
Ah Jonesy, that aged well. 🤣
How did it feel when your head fell out?
14 Feb 2025 05:06:49
Not going to lie Ork, it did sting. Hopefully we can comfort ourselves from that result by winning the league and CL at the end of the season ;)
07 Feb 2025 20:51:51
Woeful first half, worst I've seen and that's a statement on its own. Anyone else seeing LVG reincarnated in RA. 5 at the back, lots of the ball and sideways passing but slow and turgid without creating anything. Something has to change. and why the heck is our new lwb playing at rwb. Dalot is a liability but at least he's comfortable on the right. 🤦🏼♂️.
08 Feb 2025 06:00:23
Be careful Timm, we are not allowed to say the truth. When it happens game after game, you have to ask the question. I can live with this if there were glimpses of good stuff and what's to come. unfortunately I am not seeing it. The only time we improve is when we revert back to playing wingers as wingers, width, pace and bringing on players and letting them play in their natural positions. go figure
Does Dalot have a single assist playing left wingback in over 20 games now or has he made a single cross or pass that looked like we should score from. I have said this for a long time now and thought getting Dorgu was suppose to fix that, but let's play the new guy on the right and make his intro to the league difficult.
08 Feb 2025 08:35:26
Look, I'm as p1ssed off as the rest of you but what do you suggest? Sack him? The players need to pull their fingers out, run more, face forward, increase their effort, and do the basics right.
Garnacho changed the game, and he had been struggling, hopefully one by one they will get the message.
08 Feb 2025 10:43:12
We need to accept this season is going to be up and down. Some good moments, some good games and some awful. Results will be up and down as well but we will be okay.
I get the negative feelings and agree with a lot of them but we have got to be patient and balanced.
I think we will land on Amad/ Dorgu wingbacks and Garnacho/ Mainoo in the 10s but it may take a bit of time.
08 Feb 2025 14:06:45
Im not suggesting we sack him but i'd like to see some variety in our play. Constantly playing the same system when it’s not working is foolish, it also makes us predictable and easy to play against. Not saying he has to completely change but surely there's tweaks to get the best out of some. The best managers adapt to attack the opposition and catch them off guard, everyone knows what we want to do and can game plan accordingly. Maybe it’s a case that RA wants to stick to his preferred setup until the players have it right before he try’s alternatives, hopefully that’s the case. Last night we had Yoro and mazroui play on opposite sides, same with our fullbacks and having Bruno deep means we struggle to create. It’s a conundrum and I hope RA finds a working formula because I like him and the things he says, it’s just not translating to the pitch atm.
08 Feb 2025 15:32:16
Is it the same system? Garnacho pushed a lot wider last night in the 2nd half and Dalot played a bit further in, that seems like we adapted to the situation and Garnacho was the best player and we won. First half was horrendous, 2nd half much better and after we equalised there was only one winner. City showed this morning what can happen in a cup game against a much worse team than the one we played.
08 Feb 2025 18:36:48
I don’t get the Dorgu is Left sided player bit by everyone in his own words he says he plays left or right and actually played more of his career on the Right, so I am sure RA did not say oh your on your debut so let’s make you look bad and play you on the wrong side, I can’t believe anyone is even suggesting that, maybe he only played 45 mins because last thing in an emotional week for the kid is overplay him and get an injury, clearly people suggesting this have never played at high level, emotions are draining and he would have been emotionally shattered a 19 year old first game new country, big team although useless atm…
Just the usual suspects looking for a stick to beat RA with, pity they never looked for sticks to beat ETH with and there were many!
02 Feb 2025 17:33:46
Don't care said it many times Maguire at the back is a major issue, he was caught again today, goals go in his puts up his arm looking for offsides, asleep for their first and played them on for their second. Just tell him pack a back and go.
02 Feb 2025 17:55:25
Th fact he was deemed worthy of an extension is laughable. He may have been better lately but it was a low bar to clear. he's not anywhere near good enough and definitely isn’t for a back 3. The fact that he’s seen as one of our better players is more an enticement on the rest than anything.
02 Feb 2025 21:52:34
Well I said when he extended that it would royally bite us on the ass and he would cost us more than he gives us.
And so it starts.
Did you see him trying to make up ground after playing them on side? He was pumping his legs and going backwards.
Poor poor viewing all round.
But guess what……I’ll be here next game.
02 Feb 2025 16:24:28
Woeful again and the Martinez injury just compounded a bad afternoon. Probably been our best defender centrally of late and looks like he's done for the season. If it is his knee and it's the same one as b4 then we'd be wise to look at replacements in the summer. Coming back from 1 knee injury is hard enough, never mind 2.
04 Feb 2025 09:05:04
We’ve a small squad and went up against a big fast bogey team after a big midweek europa game. It was pretty much par. We’ve got new supply and options in for forwards and no Europe games for a bit. Hopefully we can take full advantage of it. Zirksee and Hoijland can’t not score for ever can they?
02 Feb 2025 16:02:57
A weird team selection and another pathetic performance. The team could play for another week and not score a goal. Yet, Palace looked like scoring in nearly every attack.
In my opinion the team will never be successful whilst playing this idiotic formation. You can scream for players that can play a 3 back all you like, but these are professional footballers, you can't tell me that not a single player in the squad can understand a different formation and put a shift in.
You could go and make a cup of tea in the time it takes the goalkeeper or defender to decide where to pass the ball, before ultimately passing it 5 yards to the other defender.
Despite RA being in charge for a few months the team doesn't look any better, you could argue they look worse.
The popular opinion with ETH at the start was he needs better players, needs players that understand his system. A few hundred million pounds later, it was no better. And now with RA it's the same, he needs better players that understand the system.
90% of these players will still be here next season, still struggling to understand the system, still looking pathetic. Only difference is, a few more millions will have been flushed down the drain on players that forget how to kick a ball as soon as they pull on the red shirt.
I don't know who's to blame, the manager, the players, or most likely, both. But something has to change, and soon. United are extremely lucky that the bottom 3 teams in the league are very bad this year, or things could get a whole lot worse. United could be 16th in the coming weeks.
02 Feb 2025 16:46:46
So a 3 at the back system won't work, remind me again what formation did Palace play today against us?
02 Feb 2025 17:18:41
The problem is we can't score goals. Luckily we have addressed that by signing a new goal scoring attack minded striker
Wait. no we got a 3rd left back.
02 Feb 2025 17:29:47
Yes, Palace also played a 3 back system. But we’ve lost to many, many teams, all using a different formation.
02 Feb 2025 18:32:03
Scuba,
We are playing a poor right back as a left wing back, we were in desperate need of one and got one, signing a top goalscorer in the January window is always going to be unlikely.
Every time we lose a game I see the same things about the system not working, as Shappy pointed out we played against a team using that system who’ve been playing it a lot longer than us. Give Amorim time and he will get this right as long as he is backed over the next few windows.
02 Feb 2025 20:19:42
There is a potential huge problem with the plan of “next few windows”, at the current rate the club will be in the championship by the time the next few windows come along!
Scoring goals is a huge issue. But prime Ronaldo wouldn’t score in this team. You can have the best striker in the world, but it’s not much use if you create nothing for him and then constantly concede goals.
02 Feb 2025 21:56:17
It’s not that the system does not work. System does not work for us.
03 Feb 2025 06:23:26
Palace are bottom half team. A poor team playing 3 at the back beating a worse team playing 3 at the back. nothing to be proud off. shambles.
01 Feb 2025 13:31:10
Looking at the forest game, and I can imagine Hoijland would love the same service that Chris Wood gets from Elanga and Gibbs white.
