We're uncoordinated in every single phase of the game. Almost like a first preseason game for us where everyone is literally playing together for the first time.
Manchester United reminds of Arsenal; it's just rotten from the top to the bottom and needs an entire rethink. Hopefully Ten Hag can be similar to Arteta and manage the club from top to bottom, getting rid of all the dead wood etc.
Preseason we looked good. We are overthinking and feeling the pressure at Old Trafford. Once the pressure is up we crack.
Yes, that's what struck me too. It's like 3 different teams from our perspective. Defense. Midfield and Offense. But nobody is connected to each other. It's like 3 separate game plans.
McT on an orange card needs to be switched for Garner (plus he is garbage anyway). Welbeck running into Mag channel for fun whole first half - again Mag not the guy for a high line. He needs to be subbed. Eriksen / Bruno disappointing but then again we are unable with McFred to progress the ball through the thirds. Eriksen has been willing to receive ball in tight spaces but not been passed to. It is like we have forgotten how to work with players who have good feet after so much McFred.
halftime and down by 2 in what is meant to be a home game... but it's anyone REALLY surprised? it's essentially the same group out there this season again. these limitations of certain players were never going to go away and if we're not even gonna give the guy enough new ones to replace the raft that left then this performance won't be a one off. and if it wasn't already obvious why Ronaldo wants out consider that Sancho, Varane and Bruno won't tolerate this forever either
This team has been largely the same across three managers with three different ways they like to play, yet the team looks exactly the same. No manager on earth can fix them.
A quick goal early on in the 2nd half and everything changes. But some of these players, man...McFred is just ugh.

that aside i was surprised to see Shaw? what has he done to deserve a spot? anywhere i mean. unless Malacia has fitness issues? either that or EtH is just giving Shaw/Maguire/Fred/McTominay some rope to hang themselves with first?
