Greenlizard0 Premier League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [24th - 26th February 2024]

You're just twisting and turning now. You made a silly post in reply to @robfosters about only Onana (of his signings) being involved today, probably forgetting that his biggest and worst signing was sat on the bench because he's so bad (proving Rob's point) that he can't get in the side despite no senior alternative being available.

Anyway I'm not going down this hole any further.
You claimed it was his 80m signing. Now you're claiming he doesn't negotiate deals. Which is it Baz?

You said Onana was his signing and now you're claiming he doesn't negotiate deals. Which is it Shami?

As I said, you're just twisting and turning to get yourself out of the massive hole you've got yourself in.

Did I mention Onana's fee? He clearly wanted both Antony and Onana, but he's not responsible for the recruitment team choosing to progress with them or how much the club chooses to overpay for them. I didn't bring up money, both you and Rob did because you're on the windup. The funny thing is you clearly know better because you support a club that is run well so you're just trying to get a reaction for some reason. Everyone loves to say United are run **** but as soon as any Utd fan tries to explain how they're run **** rival fans seem to lump it all on the manager. It's baffling.

Have you honestly seen the team he has fielded today because we have zero options. We didn't get anyone in the January window when we were crying out for players.

It is just one massive mess end of. ETH is about the 80th problem on the list of things that need doing to Manchester United as club.
It's not an excuse that is valid in my opinion. Tactically you have to adjust to the resources available and what we saw was none of that. We also saw tolerance of really poor performances from our supposed better players. Rashford and Bruno have been terrible almost every game and yet they get another 90 mins. Playing Forson seems really odd when Amad has far more top level experience. Bringing Eriksen on does nothing to inject a tempo to a game that is flat. All those are decisions the coach makes. That performance is not unique, it's not a one off its basically what we get when we don't have the absolute first 11.

If you think ten Hag is 80th on the list then you are deluded. Fulham had players missing today but they put in a shift and stuck to their established way of playing. It's for sure not all on ten Hag and I'm not at the etH out stage but he has to show us more than this.
 
Are you getting annoyed because everyone disagrees with you, the man who can never be wrong or accept any criticism of his beloved Utd.
Still waiting for you argument of how I contradicted myself Rob. I'm annoyed because nobody actually tries to discuss things on this forum any more, it's 90% baiting and laugh emotes.
 
So unless we have a full strength, fully fit team, we play like complete garbage. Great. That’s not remotely sustainable, we need some coaching too…

At least the new owners will be carefully assessing ETH.

I mean you kinda were when you had players fit tbh

Unfortunately a symptom of the poor squad building. When key players are out the replacements are either injured or can't provide any of the same strengths. Lindelof can't provide 1% of what Shaw does, he's just not a fullback. Rashford can only play standing on the shoulder up front which is the complete opposite with how we've been using Hojlund. Varane/Maguire can't progress the ball over short distances the way Martinez can etc. We need years of squad rebuilding if we're ever going to get to the stage of being able to play the same type of football with so many players out. Our style of football is not good enough but the injuries and lack of depth haven't helped trying to develop it.

I find myself in the odd position of agreeing with @omnomnom twice in one thread.
I think that's the point people are missing. Results have often covered up performances. We are seldom convincing. The manager knows what he is going to get from the players so I find it strange that he acts surprised when we get the level drop that results in a defeat. The only decision he seems to have got right this season is the timing of subbing on McSauce and there you have it. The Fellaini of 2024 is his tactical plan when Plan A doesn't work and Plan A has worked about 45 mins combined across the season. Very, disappointing.

I disagree. We were looking like a team again for two games when Shaw and Martinez were playing again. I understand that we need to be able to play "no matter what" but our squad is just so poor that we only have a first eleven and that is it. Our bench is absolutely non existent.

Today was easily one of our worst performances of the season no doubt.
