So true. 😂
I think we should be starting with Rashford, Martial and Antony as a front three.
My worry is I don’t see how Bruno fits in, I’d rather see Eriksen in that role, although it won’t happen.
It’s incredible how we’re still potentially relying on Martial and Shaw. Not great news for Ten Hag.

I wouldn't pick Bruno, Sancho or Ronaldo.
Time to give Eriksen a go further forward and Casemiro and one of Scotty/Fred in CM.
They are the three players that link up best in the squad. The frustrating thing is that this is still the case, as we know they are physically and mentally flakey.

If the others aren't performing though.....
Nobody can really want to see Ronaldo upfront again surely? Also Malacia has had two really bad games back to back now and been taken off at HT both times. Think he needs some time out of the team for a while.

This. We’ve seen lots of good moments with those in the side over the past few managers but that just contributes to the ‘Momentchester United’ meme.
So the rinse repeat cycle continues. We get excited then one is injured or one is terrible for a few games. Hopefully Ten Hag is clever enough to see the path ahead and slowly phases them out and replaces them with more consistency
Issue is there’s not any in the squad currently with more consistency.

Malacia shouldn't be starting, he isnt good enough.

That would be great but nothing over the past 8 years suggests they have it in them. I’d genuinely love to be proven wrong
Tbf Malacia wasn’t bought to come in and be a starter, he was bought for the long term and was pretty cheap. Shame started the season poorly but on his day is very good, problem is he’s very inconsistent and I think mentally quite weak.
We were always going to start with Martial up top if fit, this is nothing new. We all know we need a new striker but with other areas needing attention and the striker market being a very dry one is was always unlikely to be resolved this summer.
Rashford and Sancho have both been inconsistent this season, hard to say who’s been better so far.

No I dont think he is ready yet. Not giving up on him though as he's had a few decent games and a few shockers. He's very young after all.
I do wonder what ETH’s actual vision for this team is.

He'll go back for De Jong in January...
Malacia has had a tough week, Shaw hasn’t exactly been much better when coming on though.
Probably is time to give Luke another go, but people are far too quick to write players off.
On a plus note, Martinez continues to excel. What a player. Just a shame at times he’s having to defend everything. Thought lindelof wasn’t great again tonight, lost count of how many times Licha had to come across and cover for him. He also lost the ball for the 2nd goal.
Looking forward to the game

Survive in the job long enough to make real changes. I feel for any manager that takes over with a vision as it’s like taking over a spluttering car on the autobahn and hoping to fix it without constantly being smashed into by traffic.

I wasn't suggesting giving up on him. Where he got caught out today he has got very lucky at in previous games and got away with it. It needs to be coached out of his game. Lindelof does it as well.
Instead of playing a simple pass that is on he tries to drag it back and hold onto it using upper body strength he doesn't have.
We need to stick with ETH for sure. I do envisage a bumpy few years though. We won't get anywhere near City. Fans need to get realistic. If he gets top 4 in year 2 he will be on par with what Klopp achieved and ahead of likes of Arteta. We are so far away it's scary.

Indeed. But they can still have an idea about how they want the team to look. It’s hard to know at this stage because of the unreliability of so many players.

Agreed. He's just a bit naive there. Tough poor too.
Also don't think Sancho should be passing it back to him there considering he got the ball on edge of the box from our corner. So cowardly from him. Afraid to take anyone on.
