Greenlizard0 Premier League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [30th Sept - 3rd October 2023]

Another home defeat. Played 7 lost 4. Scored 7. Conceded 11.
Managers have been sacked for better runs :(
Pretty painful to watch but feels like an element of bad luck also. That Nacho cross that hit two defenders and went wide ! Still it needs to be better and the match epitaph will be Maguire playing it off his own player for a throw at the end.

Ming the Merciless out.
 
something is just rotten at the club.

It's the attitude of the past 10 years thinking they can just rock up and get a result because "we're Man Utd innit". Can't see any sort of respect for the game from the players, the urgency is only ever there for the last 5 minutes it seems. Always too late. Heads are easy to drop. Discipline is almost alien. The recruitment, I really just cba talking about that. The contract renewals.... hh man, is there anything this club has done right since Fergie retired?!?!
We just cannot buy a goal. Worst goal return since 07/08.

Rashford needs hooking next game really.

Well he got his contract didn't he. Now that scapegoat #1 isn't bothering anymore to even jog around a bit and pass sideways, we have scapegoat #2 in a starring role doing the usual "can't see a pass in a 100 years". Talk about waste of money, it's criminal that those two are taking so much when you have a teenager and a 21 year-old that are showing more hunger and desire.
 
We had more xG than Villa did against Brighton, just can't buy a goal at the moment.

Struggle to score goals?

Score the same amount as Brentford and 3 more than Fulham.

I wonder if buying a proven goal scorer would help? Kane? Osimhen?

Nah, lets buy a lad who got 9 goals last season and wonder why we can’t score goals.

Been as well buying Maupay rack up the xG and wonder why you can’t score.
 
People can talk about injurys but this team should be beating Palace this is awful to watch.

Why should this team be beating Palace? Palace are a good side they just don't have as much depth as Man Utd.

A big part of the problem with Man Utd is the feeling that they deserve success based on their name alone. This isn't Man Utd under Ferguson and the players need to realise they need to work to beat any side in the Premier League.
 
Not sure I'm sold on gakpo starting today, suppose the reasoning is being able to bring nunez on against tired legs

I guess I see the logic in that and Gakpo holds the ball a bit better. If I'm concerned about anything its Gomez at right back as I feel thats a defensive error waiting to happen but not much choice currently

Palace are a good side however Utd had 77% possession and 19 shots, should be taking the chances and winning games.

But lack of goals is a major problem and has been for a long time, even when doing well we are not on GD of top sides.

Yeah I can't think of any players that have done well in Holland then moved to PL and struggled.

Van Nistelrooy and Van Persie were not to shabby.
