Our strikers

I think I heard somewhere that United's 4 attackers have 1 goal and 3 assists between them and all belong to Rashford.

We weren't consistent last season but we did put in some performances that were genuinely way better than anything we'd seen in a long time. Barcelona home and away were proper performances against a quality team, and they weren't sit-back-and-hit-them-on-the-counter like some of Ole's best matches. Playing against City at OT last season, in truth the match could have gone either way but we were the better, tactically smarter side in the first half.

So many sides in recent memory have had dreadful spells and then grown much better. Arteta had a promising spell when he was appointed, then finished 8th next season and was universally considered a joke. Klopp had done enough before last season that he earned the benefit of the doubt, but at this stage last season Liverpool had fewer points than we do now.

Football fans are so short-term in our attention spans. At times this year everyone has been delirious about our trajectory. Now this forum feels like a waiting room for the Samaritans. Things get both worse and better. One of the reasons for our long-term weakness has been lack of strategy, which is to say inconsistency in decisions. I believe the last thing we need right now is more upheaval.

I wouldn't worry too much about our employees not scoring, our employees are helping to generate the most important thing of all, in record numbers

Martial plays 5 minutes per game. Rashford plays all the games. You can’t blame Martial

We can't blame Martial specifically for this season, no but overall as a Utd player he's been an absolute joke.

Revisionism FC. Where was Martial last year? Out on loan flopping in Spain.

You struggled to score last season and much of what you did do was thanks to Rashford on fire. When he doesnt fire, you struggle. I think Bruno was next best with 8

Not sure if this speaks of the quality you have or the tactics.

This is the issue essentially. The way we play - slow and plodding half the time, impatient and forced the other half - doesn't enable us to sustain pressure on the opposition, doesn't shift the opposition around to create spaces and opportunities in dangerous areas and doesn't result in consistent chances being made for our attackers.

Any striker would struggle in a team like this. No striker is going to magically start scoring goals when we can't make any chances for them.

The more i see United the more cautious i see your manager.

He may not feel confident in the quality of the defence or the mobility of the CM, but he doesnt commit enough men forward to really peg teams back. That is what i always associated United with - pushing teams back, imposing yourself on them, keeping pressure on them, flooding attacking areas.

Don't see any of this. Too scared to expose your defence.

What part of "help hut thickness jave" do you not understand?
