Rashford, Sancho, McT

All get more than their fair share of blame.
Football is a team game, win as a team, lose as a team.
A principal that today proved.
From DDG to Ronaldo nobody deserved to be on the winning side.
I'm sure Erik is aware what needs to be done, two weeks isn't enough.
Let's see where we are at Christmas.

One good thing the owners have done is leave the Old Trafford name alone.

Unlike the Spotify Nou Camp. Really.

For now. We’ll be renamed to Manchester Unilever (or similar) before long.

I’m not sure he was really aware of the size of the job.

I get the feeling he’s panicking internally

He looked all over the place end of the skysports interview. The guy is sinking

Ten Hag is a good manager who got Ajax playing great football and doing pretty well in Europe. The players he has though just can't play that way (yet?) sadly.

The players aren't as bad as this surely? To his credit, and I have given him stick this week, at least McT tried to do something to get us on the front foot when he came on. Not many others did.

People do have a go at Rashford, Sancho and McTominay, yes.

They also have a go at Maguire, Fernandes and Fred.

And Shaw, De Gea and Dalot.

You’re right, it’s a team game - and all the team get deserved stick because what they serve up is nowhere near good enough.

Ten Hag has two options, stick to his principles and hope he gets given the time he will need to bring in 10-15 new players, or temporarily play to the players strengths and slowly built his ideal style of play.

Ralf Rangnick very quickly realised this lot cannot play high pressing, quick and accurate football, so he revered to a style not to dissimilar to Oles system.

Some more than others, depending on your viewpoint.

For me, seeing Sancho and Rashford not show for the ball, not work to win the ball back when they lose it, walk around head down and show absolutely no want or will to play for the shirt is unforgivable.

Mctominay, Fred, Maguire, Dalot, DDG, Ronaldo, they weren’t good today, but they looked like they did their best. You could see DDG hurting in his post match interview.
