Reports say Amad has deleted all mention of his club connection from his social media. Another player hacked off, likely because he has got virtually zero minutes. Looked to have a nice left foot.

Red Man

1.) 11 Mar 2024 22:25:49
Another unusual signing of the Ole era.


2.) 12 Mar 2024 05:58:01
Wazza

Big money for an unknown kid. But he hasn’t even been given minutes from Sub, why not, instead of Antony. Now another player that looks like he has been ostracised by ETH, whose value will now plummet because of this. Someone needs to ask if ETH is handling these situations right. Bruno, Rashford and Antony don’t have to play well, get time. Now ETH has pushed another nose out of joint by the look of it. Good enough not good enough but the kid hasn’t been given anything.


3.) 12 Mar 2024 07:07:33
Out of curiosity did you see him play at forest in the cup? Looked a million miles off the required level in that 25 minutes! I’m not sure why the manager is getting stuck for a ridiculous priced signing he didn’t make not getting minutes when he sees him every day and it appears Forson has jumped above him!


4.) 12 Mar 2024 07:29:53
He has been given minutes.

How do you know this is a falling out with the manager, rather than Diallo now performing well in training?

Hasn’t ETH dropped Antony to give your beloved Garnacho that position, with the latter starting something like 25 games in a row

This pesty manager, I really wish he’d give one or two teenagers a prolonged run in the team….


5.) 12 Mar 2024 07:30:18
Apparently that's not quite right, he's deactivated his social media for Ramadan.

Be careful which reports you read and remember not to jump to conclusions.


6.) 12 Mar 2024 08:53:44
He has explained that decision by saying: “I deactivated my social media for a month just to focus on Ramadan, it’s a holy month for me and social media is a place where there are bad things to see during fasting. Stop the hatred, there’s nothing wrong with what I did. ”.


7.) 12 Mar 2024 10:35:46
He deleted Utd related stuff and left those from Sunderland. I know we play some haram football under ten Hag but come on, read between the lines. I get his frustration though. I too would be fuming if Antony was playing more minutes than me, and I am not even a professional footballer.


8.) 12 Mar 2024 10:51:40
Quick to jump on absolutely anything to have a go at the club, maybe take a step back and think before you post. The press make enough stuff up without stirring it up ourselves, I guess they got what they wanted though if people believed it.


9.) 12 Mar 2024 14:24:54
He doesn't get a game because he's no better than what we have already.
Absolute waste of money!
40 million Euros for a player that made 5 first team apperances and currently earns about 35 grand a week.
This just about sums United up really.


10.) 12 Mar 2024 14:48:52
Of course its ETH fault, everything is his fault. Posters here know more than the manager who spends 6 days a week with the players.


11.) 12 Mar 2024 15:53:19
Nice to see some humility from Red Man with an admission of getting it very wrong!

On an unrelated matter, I recently saw ETH walking down the street and at the bottom of the road he had the temerity to turn right, can you believe that? clearly this shows a complete unsuitability to be allowed to walk outside as all the experts know you should always turn left at the bottom of a road.


12.) 12 Mar 2024 19:06:07
IWOTB,

It reminds me of my mates in WhatsApp groups who only message when we are losing, as soon as we are winning I hear nothing, nobody seems to be able to celebrate wins anymore, just get annoyed about defeats.


13.) 12 Mar 2024 20:09:08
I want our trophy back

If I was wrong then I hold my hands up

However, sounds an unusual action especially if he left the Sunderland information in. Looks to me like he was frustrated and reacted, but see what happens to him and see what information comes out.


14.) 12 Mar 2024 22:09:44
Red Man, he has clearly stated that he has deactivated his social media for a month just to focus on Ramadan.

The point is though, you seem to just scour the media purely to seek negative stories which you then jump on here to use as a stick to beat every aspect of the club with. Leaving aside the issue of perhaps looking to find some correlation of the truth or otherwise of these usually spurious and nonsensical stories, it has to be said you seem to have lost all sense of even handedness and fair mindedness towards anything related to the club, yet you try and present yourself as some form of premier supporter.


15.) 12 Mar 2024 22:14:39
Giggs to Sheringham, yes mate, you are spot on. When we win almost no posts, see after Everton game.
If we lose it goes mental with dozens of posts essentially repeating the same thing over and over.


16.) 13 Mar 2024 10:31:57
Redman - look at what this player just did.

Everyone - the guy gave a clear explanation, it’s nothing.

Redman - *staring at photo of Amad’s nice left foot* still seems fishy to me.


17.) 13 Mar 2024 18:39:10
I want our trophy back

Let’s see as the season comes to a close. I will say something about what I see, especially when the clowns at the club have made such a mess.

Also, I won’t bother posting about it, sure you can read about Season Ticket holders in Section 122.

Danny, well they told me it was Amads left foot I was looking at….

We are apparently watching young players in Argentina, probably along with other clubs. The names mentioned are Franco Mastantuono, Aaron Anselmino, Ian Subiabre and Tomas Parmo.

Red Man

1.) 10 Feb 2024 17:23:12
This makes total sense and assume we have been doing this all along just not acting on many . I think we were in for alveres of City.
We need to be exploring all markets for the best value young players.


2.) 13 Feb 2024 21:20:38
I think we would all applaud this kind of policy, however these youngsters have to come into an environment where they can develop, fulfil their potential and have a route to the first team

Without that in place, these players will just be wasting their time coming to us.

Rumours backed by a photo are circulating that after being ill for the Bayern game, Rashford was partying in London with Sancho. Rumours also of a £180m bid for Rashford from Saudi.

Sell or keep? Sell Rashford for me.

Red Man

1.) 15 Dec 2023 07:36:51
180 million for Rashford, definitely sell him.


2.) 15 Dec 2023 08:07:51
sell, no brainer.


3.) 15 Dec 2023 08:09:50
Take 180 million as long as sancho is included, (and Martial)


4.) 15 Dec 2023 08:10:12
Its bs photo redman. its from the summer. People just being toxic/ evil spreading false stuff on social media.


5.) 15 Dec 2023 08:32:05
I would sell the whole squad for about £180m lol apart from Mainoo and Garnacho.


6.) 15 Dec 2023 08:38:38
Social media, absolutely toxic.


7.) 15 Dec 2023 09:55:26
Pretty sure the photos aren't from when they are suggesting they are.

Regardless, Rashford is a player who splits opinion. On form he is our best player. He's a Mancunian, an academy lad and everything the club should stand for.

The only real issue seems to be his form is streaky. Although there does seem to be some people who took a dislike to him for his work making sure poor kids didn't starve, yet if you hold that against him then it says a lot more about you as a person than him.

His form is a problem only when you are reliant on him to be your major source of goals.

If we had a 30 goal a season striker, and a 20 goal a season right winger then it really wouldn't make a huge difference whether Rashford had a 15 goal season or a 30 goal season.

I'd also imagine his form would be a lot less streaky when he's playing in a team with quality players around him. The opposition wouldn't be able to double up on him like they do currently. Which would give him more time and space on the ball. Also you'd imagine the quality of chances he'd be presented with would increase with better players. Both factors leading to Rashford having more chances to score, and chances of a higher quality. Which would probably lead to him scoring more consistently.

The problem isn't that Rashford isn't good enough, it's that he is in a team that isn't good enough.

All that said, if someone came in with 180m then I think the club would have to sell him. With Garnacho coming through on the left, then the bulk of that money could be used to rebuild the rest of the side. If that did happen hopefully we'd be successful in spending that money like Liverpool were when selling Coutinho to fund players like Alisson and VvD, rather than when Spurs spunked the Bale money up against the wall, buying mostly flops.


8.) 15 Dec 2023 11:24:27
Sad gullible fools actually believe this sort of garbage.
But a lot of our own fans look for the poison and believe it when it suits them and revel in it. Very sad.


9.) 15 Dec 2023 12:11:57
Shappy - he does split opinion but would argue that he is our best player on form, as he is never on form for long enough periods: it doesn't matter if he is a mancunian either, best, law, charlton, rooney, cantona and so on!
his problem is workrate and application -he wants left wing but won't cross/ pass tries to beat the same man twice and loses the ball - then walks back or if his teamates are lucky, slowly trots. He has got ability but doesn't seem happy to put in the work to let it shine.
Agree there are plenty around him the same but despite having less ability/ skill levels albeit in a different area of the pitch he could learn a lot about applying his skillset from maguire. There is obviously uncertainty throughout the club and that is from the top to the playing side but he is 26 a senior pro and international player who should be doing better by far.
there are others to be sold before him but if, if the offers came in at the figures mooted the club should accept. ps very much doubt it though.


10.) 15 Dec 2023 14:38:01
Would take £18m for Rashford currently.


11.) 15 Dec 2023 14:44:26
I would sell him regardless of the what money is offered.
Get rid.


12.) 15 Dec 2023 15:10:58
Heard a rumour wednesday evening before the newcastle match that they are seriously interested in rashford: this was off a mag with a box at st james - wouldn't think so though?


13.) 15 Dec 2023 18:20:53
I’d take 18p at this moment in time.


14.) 15 Dec 2023 22:40:56
Hard for people to accept, but isn’t good enough despite how much people want him to be. Sell at the going rate, but definitely sell.


15.) 16 Dec 2023 07:44:45
Wow Shappy, he was never our best player, and even when he does score, he still is too selfish, slow to pass, doesn't defend and what not, but he covers it with goals. I remember watching a game few years ago, where he repeatedly destroys our attacks by not passing or not passing on time. Few years later it is all the same.

I don't believe anyone would offer that kind of money for him, but i'd sell him for 1/ 3 of that.


16.) 16 Dec 2023 15:10:13
He is 26 now, on a rumoured £300k a year and stopped scoring regularly in February, sounds like a United player to me, why would we sell.


17.) 16 Dec 2023 15:32:11
He wasn’t. The account that posted it admitted that it was fake.


18.) 17 Dec 2023 07:20:42
Let's just hate on rash even if its bs. gives some here reason to vent lol.


19.) 17 Dec 2023 08:20:40
His ex girlfriend is in the pictures I saw so clearly not from the other night, people will believe anything.


20.) 17 Dec 2023 10:10:34
GDS

I am no social media expert but I did read in the papers a couple of weeks ago that he was back with said girlfriend, hired a restaurant for a meal. True or fake picture, I would still sell him. Anyone who doesn’t give 100% for that shirt deliberately needs selling.


21.) 17 Dec 2023 11:14:17
I wouldn't be surprised by anything at all from Saudi. Maybe if Liverpool knock back the Salah approach again Rash will be the next target, who knows.
I'm more surprised (or maybe I shouldn't be by now) that people have an interest in what players do with their free time, let alone when they're from 6 months ago.


22.) 17 Dec 2023 12:55:41
Yes Rashford is back with his former finance.

He also continues to be a little pleb off the pitch.


23.) 17 Dec 2023 13:51:27
Oh that’s good news, hopefully he will settle back down now then, always better when players have sorted out their personal lives.


24.) 19 Dec 2023 15:42:09
No idea what's going on with rashford but always comes across as a lovely fella who did the business last year.

He more than deserves a chance to put it right. No one knows what's going on with him.


 

 

21 Nov 2023 06:29:32
Rumour is we are planning to replace DOF John Murtough as part of significant changes when Ratcliffe invests, good, very good in fact. I suggest they also look at Darren Fletchers position as well.

Red Man

1.) 21 Nov 2023 12:16:10
Red man, agreed.

Too long, we have had people in positions who do not have the level of experience to run this club.

Arnold, Murtaugh, Fletcher. 1 gone, 2 to go. Only then will we start to see real change.


2.) 21 Nov 2023 12:21:41
Think all “leadership” group will be replaced as new owners reset the structure (or lack of) .

New leadership spine of:

Owner/ chairman: SJR/ SJBrailsford

CEO: Jean Claude Blanc (apparently amazing at what he does)

DoF: Paul Mitchell (hopefully)

All pulling in the same direction - and bringing in experiences learnt with Nice - should really get United going in the right direction pretty quickly.

No idea what Darren Fletcher does.


3.) 21 Nov 2023 12:38:29
Fletcher is supposed to be a bridge for academy to first team in terms of support and recommending players to move up. I think. Could be very wrong.


4.) 21 Nov 2023 13:07:25
Caolin

His title is technical director, on what basis was he given that role. Technical and Fletcher don’t seem to match to me.


5.) 21 Nov 2023 13:50:19
I would expect they will review the whole structure if it has not already been done as part of the due dilligance. It could be that the role that people have like Fletcher just does not exist in the new structure and potentially new roles created.
With Arnold confirmed gone and Murtaugh certain to follow there will be a new direction, hopefully it will lead us in the right direction for the future.


6.) 21 Nov 2023 14:22:19
I don't know much about Jean-Claude Blanc but I read a few reports on him and he seems highly thought of and when he moved to Juventus during the period they were relegated, he focused on rebuilding the team and technical staff so I'd imagine he will, if he comes in, will look to shake a few things up.


7.) 21 Nov 2023 18:20:08
If its Mitchell, then it's up to him to decide on who and what jobs he needs. If he sees Fletcher has sufficient abilities to fulfill a role in his team then he should keep him. If he doesn't then he must go.

Personally I have no idea what he does, wasn't Micky Butt promoted from the academy head to do that role previous, I rather fancy it's a bollox job for Fergies old boys.


8.) 22 Nov 2023 03:04:07
And yet, Joel glazer and the glazer family still control the club. Maybe they will want to keep Murtough as their guy on the inside? Seems highly unlikely that the full structure of the club is completely designed by SJR. In fact it seem optimistic at best that he can get full control of the football side. How long until they clash on an issue? Seems like we will have a very odd structure for a business.


9.) 22 Nov 2023 06:24:02
Dodgy

Hence the points I made regularly about the Glazers still having control, for me to be then hounded by the usual suspects for saying it. I suspect that Rat may want changes but the Glazers have diffferent objectives, like with Martial, they may want their favourites, particularly those who looked after them to stay in place. A 100% buyout was what we needed. We shall see what the leeches allow.


10.) 22 Nov 2023 08:32:58
Murtough has no plans to go according to the Guardian.


11.) 22 Nov 2023 09:31:21
Murtough and Arnold improved on what we had but ultimately neither appears equipped to rebuild the club. Had they come in at a time when structures at the club were right then things may have worked out better for them, but we need experts in those roles now. However I won't be lumping them in with Ed Woodward who had far more to do with the current state.


12.) 22 Nov 2023 09:56:03
Patrick

I can bet he doesn’t but if leeches want him to stay and Rat wants him to leave, who wins? Leeches still have control and there may be a few situations like that.


13.) 22 Nov 2023 09:56:32
Lots of conflicting info being briefed out of United as leaders who have failed in their responsibilities scramble to pass on the blame and save their careers.

Expect Blanc and Mitchell with install a new leadership team and structure and either move on existing staff or ease them into alternative positions (ie move Murtough back to looking after the youth team where he did well before being hopelessly promoted out of his depth. )


14.) 22 Nov 2023 22:01:56
We have seen many false dawns at United over the last 10 years, this could be another one.


15.) 23 Nov 2023 23:11:44
Nothing will change imo, glazers and sjr will fall out by the summer, old trafford will still be falling apart and we will keep falling further back from the top teams. You can roll a turd in glitter but it's still a turd and that's our situation.


16.) 24 Nov 2023 09:15:28
Sad to see how many people have had all the hope kicked out of them.

I don't expect to see massive changes instantly, I expect we'll see some big changes behind the scenes, but that it'll take time to filter down and we start seeing the results.

For example let's say we change the DoF to someone like Paul Mitchell by the end of the year. He will change recruitment, but we won't see the benefits of that probably until the summer after next. If he decides the scouting set and player recruitment team needs ripping up and starting again, that'll easily take him until next summer to just get the right people and the correct set up. That won't give them enough time to be in place and have a well scouted selection of targets for the summer. So the benefits of those changes won't be seen until summer 2025, when they've had a year to be in place and do their job.

The problem is that many fans will see a new DoF join in December, and then judge them on any January signings we make. People expect instant change/ success.

I don't think the Glazers and SJR will fall out for two reasons. Firstly, I trust SJR to have the savvy to work with people without falling out.
Secondly, I think the root of our problems with the Glazers comes from their apathy towards the club. They aren't micromanaging the club, refusing to give over any control to anyone else. The problem isn't oversteer it's that they have taken their hands off the wheel for the most part.

So I don't believe the two parties will fall out, ones savvy and the other doesn't care enough. I think they will probably work pretty well together.

Both want the club to be successful, as it increases the value on their investment. The difference is one has experience of running a club and know what is required, while the others have no idea despite owning a club for 18 years. The Glazers have always given over running the club to other people accepting they didn't know what to do (while probably not wanting to either) . The problem is they handed over the running of the club to people who didn't know what they were doing either.

From the Glazers perspective this deal is fantastic. They sell 25% and get a nice pay off, while still keeping the majority. The person buying in will then assume control of the running of the club (something the Glazers have never wanted to do anyway) . They will take the responsibility of sacking/ moving on those who've done a poor job at the club.
If they do a good job then the Glazers asset will increase in value, if it doesn't work out then SJR will take the stick from the fans rather than the Glazers.

I see absolutely nothing there that the Glazers will be unhappy about.

While SJR will aim to own the majority of the club down the line, and will no doubt have a plan for how that will happen. In the meantime he will want to get the club back on track. If he can be the one to get the club back to where it belongs he will secure a legacy at his boyhood club. While also increasing the value of his investment.

This should be a good move for Manchester United, it won't be instant, and it's a long road back. But we appear to be going in the right direction at last.

Good afternoon

I don't usually post these, however I saw United linked with a striker at Stuttgart, Sasa Kalajdzic . Not seen the name before, no idea who he is but grateful for any guidance on him.
Thanks in advance, even if it is read the posts (I am not great on searches like that on here, maybe there could be instructions somewhere? )

Red Man

{Ed002's Note - Sasa Kalajdzic (S) Stuttgart will push for him to sign a new contract. Agent has offered him to Brighton, Roma and Spurs - as they did last summer to Chelsea and Crystal Palace - and probably many other clubs. Bayern Munich are keen on the player but have a preferred target. The same is true of Borussia Dortmund.}


1.) 17 Jul 2022 18:36:44
Thank you Ed002.

I support ETH and his handling of Sancho. Cannot call the manager a liar and should have apologised to ETH and respected the shirt. Should have been desperate to put it right, yet wasn't. Unacceptable from Sancho. I get he may feel others are favoured but prove the manager wrong on the pitch. Rightly sent to Dortmund, then posts on social media about nice to play again, which is ok, but still no apology, no remorse at taking the clubs money to sit and be childish.

So given what Sancho has done, the lack of apology and how he has let our club down, what was Rashford doing commenting Yessirr on the post? To me there is something not right and I wonder if the Sancho situation is why Rashford hasn't given his all.

Rashford is at times openly phlegmatic, up and down and doesn't look to be trying most of the time. We cannot have this and to be honest if a good offer comes in for Rashford sell.

Red Man

1.) 14 Jan 2024 10:11:18
Stay of the socials for your own sanity big man.


2.) 14 Jan 2024 12:00:33
Theyre good friends, friends support each other lol. The thing i noticed was load of other players commenting in support like Bellingham and Vinicius.

Agree on the whole Sancho situation, he's made himself look so foolish and Ten Haag is pretty much all in the right.

The only thing Ten Haag can be questioned over is overestimating the quality of our other attacking players and like most problems with out attack come down to the Brazilian fidget spinner. If he was able to get double figures in goals and assists then the Sancho debacle would be vindicated.

At the moment he has zero goals and assists for the whole season.


3.) 14 Jan 2024 12:28:51
Ten Hag has come out to say Antony isn't playing now because his performances have been below par. Notice how no one is throwing a fit over that? Somehow the media and rival fans and even some man utd fans have babied Sancho so much. Reality is he just doesn't have the stomach for the pressure at Utd.


4.) 14 Jan 2024 13:09:49
I thought the press conferences with ten Hag over the last few days were really interesting. Some real meaty questions finally being asked that crop up constantly on pages like this, like how few successes we've had with all of our more expensive signings since Fergie left vs for example City, where every signing is well scouted and makes an impact. And of course a deeper delve into Antony's form. It's felt like there's been an issue with literally every other player in our squad this season. Not sure what if anything is going to change in the short-term, I'm sure things are just being observed at the moment to see where things are going wrong. The overall impact of many of his own signings was brought up. Ouch.


5.) 14 Jan 2024 13:25:33
The situation with sancho should never have been played out in public the way it was.
Imo sancho comes out with no credit at all.
Eth imo should have been a little smarter in the way he handled things and their would have been less unintended consequences on the rest of the squad.
A little less abrasive and more psychological thinking would have paid off in this case imo.
The result for sancho would still and should always be the same. EXIT.
But I think he could have done it differently without losing any respect, which was the key issue for eth. Emotions took over on both sides and when that happens clear and logical thinking goes out the window.
The better he does at dortmund the better it will be for united so I hope he does well.
I don't think rashford should be commenting publicly but I'm old school.
It could be perceived as 2 fingers up and a sly dig at eth but by the same logic it may not have been written in that tone at all and was just a public text to a good pal.
If like redman you have become so frustrated by rashford and want him sold then you will interpret it as the former if you still support and believe in rasford you will read it as the latter. Its just noise either way.
Hopefully everyone can move on now, the players, the coach the media etc and focus returns to on the pitch stuff.
So.


6.) 14 Jan 2024 14:26:58
Before anyone starts thinking Sancho has suddenly turned into a worlds beater for a cameo 30 minute sub appearance. The team they beat is the worst team in the german league that bayern beat 8-0.

He is a overhyped spoiled brat with no discipline or guts. Need to get him out permanently.


7.) 14 Jan 2024 14:27:53
Both overhyped over paid and they actually believe their world class

I also blame the parents agents and all the hangers on these clown have around them

They seem more interested in an instagram pose with some no mark celebrities

Get rid of these types ASAP.

Caught a glimpse of a young lad at Brighton, Facundo Buonanotte, looked very similar to Bernardo Silva when younger. Some really nice touches, good control in tight spaces. Has anyone watched him in more detail?

Red Man

1.) 05 Jan 2024 08:15:44
Scored a cracker against Chelsea (I think) last season. Doesn't seem to have played as much this season though from the few Brighton games I have watched. Can see the similarity to Bernardo.


2.) 05 Jan 2024 12:05:13
Unruly, Buonantte's was a nice cut unto left foot and curl into the far corner but I think Julio Enciso's was a cracker.


3.) 06 Jan 2024 07:25:07
Mbd you are right, I was thinking of Enciso's goal. Both youngsters haven't been as good this season, wonder why that is.


4.) 06 Jan 2024 17:30:26
Enciso has been out for a long time, harsh to say he’s had a bad season for that reason.


5.) 06 Jan 2024 21:49:27
Wazza, I didn't know he was injured.


 

 

13 Dec 2023 22:25:03
ETH said after Bayern "Todays performance was very good, we didn't deserve to lose but we lost the game. "

Apparently we had "good intensity", "very good ball regains" and "a very good chance"

Last week he said "you can see we are really improving" . He has also described our football as "brave, proactive, dynamic"

We had one shot on target last night from the left full back. Trying to gloss over what we are seeing with that utter nonsense is worrying.

This is moving quickly towards an end game.

Whilst I agree none of the performances have been great Chelsea being the best result the last 3 games have seemed "better", in this I mean there were more positives especially than the Newcastle game.

However there are still issues and a manager who consistently plays someone like mctominay who is so polar opposite to his "philosophy" or style is only asking for trouble, it's not only that he keeps playing him it's that he is never subbed even when offering 0 and contributing to the issues. (yes I also understand he's the only one scoring but is his lack of support in build up stopping us creating chances our forwards would score leaving them with lesser/ harder chances? )

I am sure you would like to see an end game. Been reading this page for 10 years and you have gone after every manager. Fans like you are just as culpabale for the mess we are in as the owners. You overanalyze every word and put a twist to it.

I agree with ETH what we had out there on the pitch was good performance against a European giant coming in with a fully fit squad and looking to make amends after a very bad result over the weekend. Kane did nothing all game and he is suppose to be the best striker in the world. Did he have a shot on target?

Given how opiniated you are on line ups, tactics, players, managers you surely must understand that game was always trying to get a goal and fight to see it out.

Unfortunately they scored first from a poor phase of play where plenty of players could have stopped it before Coleman was wide open in the box.

Some see glass half full all the time and you are one of them.

Our love child Garnacho lost possession 15 times and Antony had 10 and Hoiland is too raw and had zero impact against their cb pairing and they handled him with ease. We were outclassed by better players. That's all and no need to over analyze things.



I for one am glad the manager does not vent in public and go after players.

You seem to think the manager is always the problem, we are just not that good and our players are mostly overrated by our fan base and the second string are so so so average. If they were better we would see some real funds from sales, which never happens.

Dbrooks

Who do you play instead of mc atm? Bruno is not made for receiving the ball under pressure and does very poorly when he has no space and crowded. If you play 2 sitting mids, bruno has to be the guy to receive the ball in traffic, that's not his strength. His strength is get the ball to him where he has space and some time to look around and try something.


3.) 14 Dec 2023 07:39:13
I agree ETH is not the main problem, however I’m yet to be convinced he’s the right man to take the club forward.

The players are the problem. But that’s no easy fix as we’ve seen over the last few years.

We have to just hope that this reported new structure coming with SJR will start to move the club in the right direction.


4.) 14 Dec 2023 09:17:26
All the other managers barring Rangnick used to belt out the same spiel, its like its the official club line rather than eth’s opinion.


5.) 14 Dec 2023 09:23:54
Ahmad

Actually I didn’t go after every manager, incorrect. I am not asking for ETH to be sacked either but some of his comments are almost Moyesesque. It wasn’t a good performance, it was dreadful one lacking any passion. We achieved the same as Newcastle but hell I watched them last night and injury or not they gave it a go. We didn’t, stifled by negative don’t lose tactics. Our crowd were apathetic, started chanting Attack after about 85 mins, likely bored to tears.
I haven’t called for the sacking of ETH but as United manager he must do a lot better, understand the dross he and team is serving up, relate better to those who turn up and pay good money or he will be gone. That simple.


6.) 14 Dec 2023 09:33:32
Ahmad - "Our love child Garnacho lost possession 15 times and Antony had 10 and Hoiland is too raw and had zero impact against their cb pairing and they handled him with ease. We were outclassed by better players. That's all and no need to over analyze things"

Are you forgetting that ETH wanted these players, Antony 80 million and Hoijland 72 million.


7.) 14 Dec 2023 09:40:54
Ahmad you do make me laugh. The irony of you calling somebody opinionated whilst posting your opinion regarding their opinion is comedy gold. You post an opinion half a dozen times a day yet somebody with a different viewpoint is ‘opinionated’. Too funny ?
I sometimes wonder if we watch the same games. Sorry, just my opinion. My bad for failing to obtain authority to have the right to an opinion before posting said opinion.


8.) 14 Dec 2023 10:30:10
Redman

They are missing 3 key players to their first 11 one being a goalie. Its media bias how things are reported. Their core has been intact the whole time. Back, middle and upfront. Granted he is short of options to make changes but still has the core of the team to put out there.

Given how the media will run with the slightest of negative stuff around the club, Why give them fuel to add to the fire and what does it accomplish if the manager comes out and is negative on players or the team.

Finally what is it that makes you think the team we had out vs Bayern should have done better and what so difficult to accept that across the pitch they had like for like better players on that pitch in almost every position.


9.) 14 Dec 2023 11:07:36
ahmad

In 1979 we met Liverpool at the peak of their powers in a semi final of the FA Cup, they were miles better than us. The team played with heart and passion ran for their lives and got a draw, could have won. We did win the replay. Heart and passion, effort coordinated. Lesser teams have won cup games for years. I saw no organisation or passion on Tuesday bar maybe a couple of the younger players including Garnacho. Our organisation is disappointing for a Dutch coach with ETH reputation. It isn’t just Bayern, many games this season have looked the same.
He can’t come out after and pretend everything is great, the fans just think he is talking corporate speak to protect himself and the players. We can see with our own eyes.


10.) 14 Dec 2023 11:25:54
I don't like what I'm seeing either redman but I have to see that we looked more solid against bayern where against Galatasary, Newcastle and Everton at times we looked like conceding on every attack. I think if ETH gets us better defensively then goals will come with team confidence.


11.) 14 Dec 2023 12:00:09
Banjoe

He tightened us up in the last game of the group to the point where despite needing a goal and to win we didn’t try? Why wait until then? Tactical naivety?

Look it’s like he is going one way then another, trying to learn but not learning on the job. I can’t understand why Varane sat on the bench then trotted him out for Bayern.

Where is a structure, are we pressing or not?

Getting tighter defensively makes sense but we already couldn’t score. I saw something about the spine, well what was ETH asking for in Summer? Mount? A totally inexperienced forward? No Centre Back? But forced a new keeper

I just want to see logic but am not seeing it.


12.) 14 Dec 2023 13:52:49
What you consider logic most people wouldn't.
In 1979. Haha ?.

Redman

1979 was 40 years ago and the game has moved on and the world is a very different place. you need to move on and stop comparing. Everton used to challenge for league titles back then too.

Fizz

Your opinion has never changes and I get it. You think everything lands at eth door and have very simple view of things and when things don't go as planned. it must be the manager and hence we must change. I think there is a lot more to it. The last 10 years we have blamed every manager who has walked through the door because we are simple jacks:)

I will watch the Liverpool game on Sunday and not get emotional about the outcome and expect a loss. If we lose looking organized and a better team with better players get the better of us so be it. I will not question effort or the manager, tactics, lineup blah blah blah. I never think that highly off myself to think i know better than a professional manager on line ups or tactics. I will be disappointed but no need to vent and ask for half the squad to go, manager is useless etc etc. different type of fans who support united.

I was with Yorkie today and he is doing the coverage with that twit Richard keys on Sunday on bein sports. I said to him make sure before he goes all in pre-match and post match as he loves to gloat on any bad result for united, in 2016 wayne rooney was the last guy who score at anfield.

If you lot are charging up you batteries to vent after sunday with what we have available to play, spare me the bs.


14.) 14 Dec 2023 17:20:01
Mr Tumble

And throughout time across many clubs. Coordinated efforts from teams. Guess you think it’s ok to capitulate.


15.) 14 Dec 2023 19:41:55
On the pitch, it's average, and that's being nice. There are a lot of players in that team that must take a look at themselves. I have to be honest, right from the word go I never felt there was a goal coming, never at any point. I don’t think we created a single chance all game. You’ve got a confused midfield, some of which are pressing, some aren’t, and they leave massive gaps between the defenders and front players. Everything is out of sync.

Not my words.


16.) 14 Dec 2023 19:43:27
Ahmad you clearly do not read my posts, at least not properly. I haven’t even mentioned ETH save to say I don’t believe he should be sacked yet. I do very much have an issue with the lack of effort of some of the players. I also have an issue with the lack of quality of some of our players. Can you, hand on heart, truly believe Antony is £85m worth given his input? Is Martial worth his contract? Is Rashford putting in enough to be worth his place?
Forget telling me endlessly that we have injuries affecting our overall ability to win games. I’m talking about players strolling and failing to leave it all out there. That is unacceptable. No excuses.
Perhaps you should consider saving me the BS……. please.


17.) 15 Dec 2023 06:12:51
Fizz

I said Antony was a terrible signing way back and someone accused me of having an agenda against the guy. I do however disagree with using Antony as a stick to beat up ETH all the time.

Klop signed Keita for a club record 54 mill and he was an absolute bust but it happens. The difference was he had other options and played them and they did well so no one really talked about it. ET gets grief for playing Antony, who puts in more poor performances than decent ones so it magnifies the mistake given the fee. The alternative is Pellistri which a worse option imo so we are stuck with Antony on the right.

The reality is no one really understand why we do the things we do when it comes to transfers, contract extensions and how on earth some of this stuff happens and been happening for so long. If you listen to previous managers who are gone they all seem to say a lot of it done outside their control and higher up the chain.

The club does some very strange things. People say we treated DDG poorly, I say we gifted him a 375k contract extension and owe him nothing, pure madness. Some of these players must be pinching themselves everyday knowing what they earn.

Finally I did not see anyone strolling against Bayern we lost to a better team. Sometimes better players can make you look poor, that's football. Its easy and throw away stuff to blame selections, effort or tactics when you are being outclassed.

Reality is the Bayern back 4 were just a class above our guys and Bruno who is our chief creator did nothing either. That all and nothing to do with effort.


18.) 15 Dec 2023 22:35:23

Good Morning

If you were the prospective investor in the club how would you look at the situation with the manager?

I suspect there will be good points, winning a cup, getting top four, showing some leadership. But there would be questions, on the verge of elimination at the group stage possibly bottom of what isn't that difficult a group outside Munich. His drive to bring in players with who he had a previous connection including Antony, Onana at vast cost, his insistence on playing certain players like Rashford regardless of how they play, his poor substitutions at times, many times, last night being one. It looks like the manager is on a learning curve, moving to a big club from a smaller one, is that good enough for a new investor knowing all eyes will be on the club quickly.

So in balance, what will someone given the power to make decisions do? I start to wonder if Ratcliffe, if it happens, will want a change far sooner than we expect.

Red Man

1.) 30 Nov 2023 09:11:44
Redman

If you were going to change managers because of a player they bought that is not performing. most teams would be changing managers every year.

Grilish at 100 mill, Nunez at 50 million or the leeds guy at 40 mill are getting any play time or pulling up trees. the difference is they are stacked and can just brush over stuff like that.

There was nothing wrong with the subs last night. You seem to think the manager is a school boy on a learning course. Reality is you are so far removed from where the players are physically or even technical set up on the field and why people get subbed.

He made the cl semifinal and its nothing new for him and nothing to learn. we have a midfield that is work in progress.

If we are going to lay blame Pellistri your guy who you constantly champion for had a stinker, Mainoo got caught on the guy getting a run on him for the 3rd goal. These are things that happen with players on an individual basis. Onana was a horror show. Can't just use Onana to question the manager then use the other players who dropped the ball too and be even handed.

Why do you make statements like a group that seems easy, one is leading the turkish league an done danish league. I know its easy to be dismissive and say so what but on what basis. Has any of the group games been easy for Bayern who are a perennial superpower in cl.

I watched Bayern vs gala at Gala. we were 10x better than Bayern yesterday but for some crazy stuff that happens and yesterday its the goalie. They won, we drew but go watch both games again.
We need to stop questioning the managers qualities after every result that does not go our way.


2.) 30 Nov 2023 09:16:35
I think Ratcliffe has enough people around him with experience and knowledge to do it properly. the top with what he believes will be the right people and they will then make the appointments they are responsible for with who they think are right.

Unless it is Overmars, then I don't Ten Haill the right nger for them so he will be gone and they will get their own man in
I don't think being part owner will be an issue as I think the Glazers will be more than happy for Jim to make their team and club better.


3.) 30 Nov 2023 09:39:42
Ahmad

My guy Pellestri who I constantly champion? Wrong person, that’s not me. Garnacho on the other hand, who has scored two games running, one of the all time great goals and another last night, was taken off when we needed a goal. Thinking Martial is going to do anything at all, leaving non scoring Antony on and putting Pellestri on the left, those inverted wingers again. My point was not what I think, said before to give him more time, but if I am investing £1.25Bn, I think I want the very best I can have. I don’t think Rat will think he has that and suspect the questions I ask will be bigger after investing all that money. That was what I asked, what will a new investor want to do in these circumstances.


4.) 30 Nov 2023 09:42:08
EtH will remain as manager for the rest of the season, unless the new leadership group have a manager that is available and they want to give him an early look at the team there is no benefit from causing more upheavel/ uncertaintly when we all argue this has been a major part of the problem for years.
Most managers will move in the summer so why make the change, get a temproary person in place for a few months. We all saw how that went last time.
It will be interesting long term whether EtH fits what they will want to do going forward, whether they think as a coach he fits the direction they want to go in and see that he has made progress from where we were. It is possible that they want to hit the reset, clear out the past Arnold/ Murtagh/ EtH and start again with a completely new aligned team brought in and fits the strategy that they want.
Looking at Nice it took a while but they seem to have made the right moves with long term view. Maybe they want to progress Farioli, if there are fears he could leave Nice for something bigger anyway!

There was a very interesting article about a week ago on the interview process for the Nice manager, one part was a 5 hour discussion, interesting read.


6.) 30 Nov 2023 11:06:19
Mainoo did nothing wrong on the third goal. He didn’t allow the player a chance to score, he scored from a ridiculous angle because our keeper’s position was a joke.

Reminded me on a goal giggs got when he was very young against city I think. The defender pointed to shoot because the angle was ridiculous, and it was an amazing strike right in the postage stamp. This was quite central where it ended up in comparison.


7.) 30 Nov 2023 11:07:31

Garnacho shrunk last night when their right back roughed him up. That’s fine and I don’t blame a young boy for that. But you can’t parade him around like he’s peak Ronaldo because he’s a long way from that right now.


10.) 30 Nov 2023 12:48:18
Wazza

Who is parading him around like peak Ronaldo?
He scored in our last two games, we need a goal and takes him off leaving us with Pellestri Martial and Antony to get a goal. And we are surprised?

At around the same age the critics were giving Ronaldo hell as a one trick pony. Didn’t turn out badly. As it happens Garnacho is doing better out left than others in recent games. Needs time and support. The question is why the manager thought we could get by with Hojland so inexperienced and useless Martial plus keeps Antony going. When was Antony’s last goal?


11.) 30 Nov 2023 14:25:52
Think ETH will last the season, results depending, then go.

To many questions about him, such as:

1. Inability to coach team into protecting a lead

2. Making offensive rather than defensive subs to score more goals (and encourage opposition to attack) rather than control the game

3. Questions over man management and approachability

4. Questions over training methods causing too many non contact injuries

5. Inflexibility with philosophy: likes to keep players in team according to position / what add to team rather than form.

Of course I’d like him to succeed but jyst can’t see it beyond this season.

17 Nov 2023 06:58:51
Rumoured that SJR is expected to take guidance from SAF as he undertakes an overhaul of the club. He should be seeking advice from Ralf, SAF brought us Moyes and with respect whilst we need to learn from the past, the old ways don't work the same. Modernise, look at what City did, not how SAF did it in the 80's.

Red Man

1.) 17 Nov 2023 07:30:59
Probably just a load of bs from a bored journalist on a slow day.


2.) 17 Nov 2023 07:41:48
I agree Red Man. It is believable. I just hope SJR is shrewd enough to pick out the useful bits. Yes SAF the best at player management. However, a terrible scout of managers and a chequered history (amazing on pitch success, falling out over horses and cosying up to the Glazers) does leave me baffled as to the value of his wisdom. Anything other than “support the manager wholeheartedly” should be treated with caution.


3.) 17 Nov 2023 12:19:25
Ratcliffe is essentially buying 25% of the club and taking on 100% responsibilities. Getting a little rubber stamp from Fergie is what you'd expect. Used for guidance when needed but I'd assume the new personal coming in will already know what they're doing and won't need any guidance.

I don't think there's much in this story at all.


4.) 17 Nov 2023 13:22:55
It's not a story mumbles. Fishing for the gullible fools.
Sjr would be a fool not to listen to what sir Alex has to say. There is a difference between listening and actioning on those words.
Why would he talk to Ralph? The guy was an unmitigated disaster at united.
Where has he done a good job anywhere at a top club? Actually not sure he had ever been employed by a top club.
The fishing line will hook some the silly billys into believing something more. But you have to remember some of those folks want failure so will jump on every negative report regardless of what source it comes from.


5.) 17 Nov 2023 13:46:27
Media speculation most likely.

Even if its not I don't see an issue with that at all. People take advice from their doctors about cutting down on drinking or quitting smoking. Doesn't mean they will act on that advice.

Personally I think it'd be foolish not to listen to what SAF has to say on Manchester United. I can't think of many people with greater authority to speak to about the club now.

Gaining that information cannot be a bad thing. Greater knowledge is never a bad thing.

I trust that SJR understands the difference between listening to advice and blinding doing everything everyone tells him to do. I can't imagine he would be able to be the self made billionaire he is by just blindly following advice.

Besides SJR will look to hire qualified people to run the club, a new CEO probably a new DOF, no doubt followed by a raft of new people across the club and a shake up of the current structure.

Red Man, you seem to have gotten yourself into a bit of a negative spiral. You are quickly becoming a parody of Victor Meldrew.

Every time a press report comes out speculating about one thing or another you are there slapping your hand onto your forehead proclaiming "I don't believe it" with a mix of frustration, anger and exasperation.

Why do you choose to believe every negative report and sceptical of any positive ones? Why do you always choose to see or expect the worst?

Exactly how does that benefit you, improve or enhance your quality of life?

Everyday you are on here complaining about this report or that report and why that is a disgrace or just plain wrong.

Firstly, its all rumours and mostly guff. Secondly, why even give it the time of day? Especially as all it seems to do is wind you up and bring a level of unhappiness/ dissatisfaction to your life.

Man, I think you need a holiday.

Pot and kettle Shappy, you believe every good report that comes out if it suits your narrative!


7.) 17 Nov 2023 17:03:25
Correct. There is a difference between listening and actioning on those words.
Ralph should not have been coach, he should have been there to restructure, reset. That was the issue, they didn’t listen to the expert consultant, they themselves brought in.

Looks like we are not allowed to question anything, just sit smiling and happy or you get jumped on by the site thought police.


8.) 17 Nov 2023 18:35:06
Ken, people tend to forget that part. You're a fool and ignorant if you willing choose not to listen to people who have achieved success. Especially if you are hoping of achieving similar success.

However, listening to what some has to say and acting on it is very different. You should never just blindly do what someone says. Mothers tell their children "would you jump off a bridge if he told you to do it" when they use that excuse for why they did something. But that's where it should stop, in childhood. Once you're a grown adult you should always be listening, and then critically analysing what people tell you.

As for Rangnick, a lot of what he said has proven true, and a lot of what he said we need to do I suspect we will see actioned under SJR.

His real expertise was never utilised by the club, but that's because he cast a light on the mistakes of people at the club who cannot and will not accept they have made mistakes.


9.) 17 Nov 2023 18:52:01
But ralph has never done it at a big club. He obviously had some good ideas but no track record at a top club. Perhaps he was not good at communicating and even if that's not the case he was communicating to non subject matter experts.
I think all the coulda woulda shoulda hindsight talk is daft. It's gone.
There are lots of mistakes over the last 10 years we all know that.
Nobody is the site police apart from the eds.
You make lots of negative comments over 85% of your posts are negative probably a good deal higher than that actually. You have a problem with replies to those. If your constantly negative expect people to counter that.
Nobody has ever said anything to you that you have not said or written about the owners. So live by the sword and all that. Nobody here knows you any better than you know the glazers so it's no more personal.
It's not a matter of site police its a matter of people countering your negativity and negative posts.
Keep it coming positive people will always try to be positive. You like wallowing in the problems I like looking forward in hope for realistic solutions.
Your disdain for the owners is clearly tainting your outlook on every aspect of the club.
Nobody trying to control anything but if you post the way you do then expect to be countered on it. The negativity that pours out of nearly every single post you make is frustrating to read imo. So every time it's there I'll try to counter it with some positivity or to expose the holes in the negative comment.
We all make negative comments from time to time that's healthy imo but most don't do it nearly all the time.
Nobody is stopping you do it but some give you a hard time because of it.


10.) 17 Nov 2023 19:21:53
My opinion on it for what it’s worth is RR was the worst manager at united in 10 years, he was aloof, up his own ……. Thought he knew everything, man management ZERO and what’s more I feel ETH got some of them traits too.

How he even got in the door to this day is a mystery

RR never said nothing that Jose had not already told the world years before, but many on here hounded him for boring football and not buying a house in Manchester!

Now we have worse football and ETH cycling round Manchester, Mount doing photoshoots everywhere, Antony well what does he do, Amrabat a poor man’s Fred Sancho situation as become just childish, most of this caused by ETH

But trying to make RR out as some sort of second coming is well wide of the mark.


11.) 17 Nov 2023 20:43:55
Rangers,
You fail to understand the difference between a manager or coach and a consultant trying to change structurally where we were.

In terms of other points. Why are we not allowed to think, or to question? Why are we being told to toe the line, only smile, nod your head, doff your cap, that’s what is required of you as fans. It’s about control, someone wants to control the site, rather than respect opinions or questions. It’s happened before, there is a trait there, obvious to see.

14.) 18 Nov 2023 10:35:53
Redman,

I agree with your original post.

Ahmad,


SAF knew how to manage players but not how to run a football club. They are two completely different things.

When he left, behind the scenes the club was all over the place. That wasn't SAF fault, that was the club's fault.

RR is a top notch DOF. My feeling is that he was brought into manage the club as part of the original overhauling process, to fully access the football side of the club, prior to him moving into his consultantcy role to allow him to get a better understanding of the club, which made perfect sense.

Around the January transfer window the club didn't buy and players RR suggested. The players knew he wasnt going to be the manager at the end of the season and gave up. Prior to this UTD had the best run in the PL from when RR took over.

Shortly after the close of the January transfer window, RR starting to become more vocal about the club's predicament and subsequently the club were far from pleased with this and we're happy to jettison RR and continue with their policy of burying their heads in the ground.

Fast forward 18 months and the club has SJR purchasing a 25% stake in the club. Along with appointing a new CEO and a DOF/ Sporting Director the club might actually be taking a huge step in the right direction.

Now is the time to focus on the future and not the past. SAF is the past, Woodward and now Arnold are the past. It is dangerous to focus on the past unless it is for the benefit of learning from previous mistakes.

What has rr achieved in the game. You think the clubs scouting system did not have gvardiol or the players he mentioned on our list.

Not sure if anyone knows this, we have one of the most expensive and largest scouting networks in football. How we go about recruitment and planning for things has been an issue.

Typical bs redman imo to bring up a moyes appointment as a concern for a man who has won everything in the game and took a club doing nothing and changed it to give us our best 30 years in our history. Its typical bs like everything else he posts to go hang onto one negative thing from a list of 100 positive things.


The page is just full non sense stuff atm. Its international break i guess. He will complain about not being able to having a view but he is what he is. He is damaged beyond repair and only looks for negatives.

Are you Ken’s second account? The personal comments are vey Ken when he wants to shut someone, namely me, up. So I am “Damaged beyond repair”, then “typical bs” about me twice in a post. Sounds very directly personal, just like Ken. Not sure that’s banter tbh. Both you and Ken turn up on the same posts, same opinion and aimed personal comments to shut someone up. If it walks like one, quacks like one, I think it is one, Ken2.

Rumours of me being damaged beyond repair are thankfully extremely premature. I have been very lucky, watching United from the sixties when players lived in ordinary areas, not multi millionaires in hidden away mansions, you would see them at local shops. From the stands, I saw fading greatness, relegation, brightness of The Doc, dullness of Sexton, Bojangles, then appreciated SAF after every one of those 25 years, without the title. I was there at the great moments, saw us win cups, leagues and European Cup live, saw us lose cup finals, got chased at away grounds. Plenty of happiness thanks, but also realism. SAF was a great motivator, great manager but not a great tactician. So why look for him to guide a restructure, especially after he left a mess. Do we structure based on what worked in the 80’s or 2023? 2023 and forward is what we need. Liverpool dealt with Shankly, we didn’t deal with Busby, letting him cast a shadow over new managers, now we are making the same mistake with SAF. Revere him but let’s not look to go backwards.

Ahmad,

RR is a respected DOF. By appointing him as an interim manager, it allowed him to further analsye the whole football side do the club, prior to his consultantcy role. It made perfect sense.

RR called the club out for not having players like Nkunku etc on their scouting reports. You must remember his open heart surgery speech etc, or did you ignore his press conferences during his tenure as he was open and honest.

Are you a Glazer in disguise?

Waking up everyday being angry at the world must be a difficult thing, get over it go out smell the roses and have a glass of wine. Its not that bad out there.

You talking about yourself from the stands, hate to tell you this but many if us have been there. One of 78k people about 45 times a year. Makes you and me nothing special.

You live in the past and can’t get over it. I don’t know who ken is but spunds like a guy i can have a laugh with.

Grow up.

I want our trophy back

Let’s see as the season comes to a close. I will say something about what I see, especially when the clowns at the club have made such a mess.

Also, I won’t bother posting about it, sure you can read about Season Ticket holders in Section 122.

Danny, well they told me it was Amads left foot I was looking at….

If I was wrong then I hold my hands up

However, sounds an unusual action especially if he left the Sunderland information in. Looks to me like he was frustrated and reacted, but see what happens to him and see what information comes out.

Big money for an unknown kid. But he hasn’t even been given minutes from Sub, why not, instead of Antony. Now another player that looks like he has been ostracised by ETH, whose value will now plummet because of this. Someone needs to ask if ETH is handling these situations right. Bruno, Rashford and Antony don’t have to play well, get time. Now ETH has pushed another nose out of joint by the look of it. Good enough not good enough but the kid hasn’t been given anything.

Interesting Amorim sounds like he would be a positive and an interesting choice from what I read about him.

The key for me is that whoever is appointed is that we get away from demanding 5 years minimum stay to allow the manager to take us in a direction none of us knows will be successful. Appoint a First team coach, give him a direction from above on how the team is to play and if we selected right it should work better. If it doesn't, move on after a period that the DOF or above deems is reasonable, be that 1, 2 years or longer.

Fernandez is apparently going to Benfica if the rumours are right. You know what their scouting is like. Not sure I trust ETH judgement in full given what we have seen. Fernandez has talent and I have said what you said before about his physical side. Watched him for Preston and has a good left foot, smooth player. I am disappointed he didn’t get any sort of look in given our injuries to left back.

I like Mount, touted him earlier in the season as a potential Captain. Have to clear Bruno out of the way when he is fit.

Due to be fit 30th March, will continue rehab and may have some part in a game on 28th. With a bit of luck should be available to us first game after break. I can see the logic and given some of the comments about our medical department recently, may not be a bad thing.

You are missing my point. You said that Mount and Amarabat were not what we needed last summer, so why did ETH push for them?

You said “Maybe the CDM player we wanted wasn't available” and we signed our first choice option for another position rather than an option way down the list for another position. ”

What position was Mount first choice and bought for? If ETH bought Mount rather than the position you identified as critical that was surely an error?

Agreed, I thought it was a stonewall penalty for Liverpool. Don’t understand how it was dismissed and quickly.

A few days ago Shappy posted about how we had no midfield players and that Amarabat and Mount were not what we needed. I asked him why then did ETH push to get Mount and Amarabat, last summer, why was the position that Shappy highlighted, not seen by the Manager? He didn’t reply, hence why I asked him again.

On ETH, I think we should have seen far more cohesion as a team than we have, players, even the ones stepping in, knowing what they are doing, playing in a pattern. We haven’t and for me need to see something quickly.
