Ronaldo

Instead of who? The CBs we have are levels above him, even Botman in poor form.

The service he gets is shit and has been for most of the season. Chasing shadows, waiting for passes that never come. It’s awful.

No criticism tonight but it looks like the best we can achieve this season is 7th in the league with underwhelming cup exits - albeit with mitigating circumstances and very tough draws. It’s been a really disappointing campaign and he’s going to have be very ruthless in the summer with certain players like Burn, Almiron, Longstaff etc being sold or marginalised and a larger focus on being solid / patient / creative in possession versus turning it over. He has my full support but the summer is the biggest test of him yet.

When? In shootouts?

I’d rather we move towards footballers in the middle. You’re always playing with a deficit with someone with that fundamental lack of ability.

I love Eddie but he’s far too one dimensional tactically for a job bigger than ours. We’re an excellent fit for him and vice versa.

Quite surprised at the percentage of pundits saying he will and probably should be sacked.

Not sure I’ve ever crucified anyone. But I don’t really see how anyone can say that nor be so bloody disrespectful about him given the job he did here.

Back in contention from start of next month.

Most important contribution to the season so far has been getting injured against Sheff Utd forcing Gordon to come on and rip them apart. Things can only get better I guess.

I defend this man a lot and will always have huge respect and appreciation. I’m very worried about the inability to find a more intelligent way of playing.

Tragic. Had talent at one point.

I honestly hate to say it but tactically we’re a joke and have been for a lot of the season. We don’t have the slightest clue how to keep the ball and slow down the game when we need to. We played into Chelsea’s hands for the majority of the second half. It’s brainless football devoid of a sustainable plan.

He’s actually a very nice lad with a lovely mum too. I really hope he succeeds wherever he ends up.

He’s a hater. Stop being a hater TBB.

Not one Man U fan I know would pick Varane over Schar. And not one of them thinks Rashford is better than Gordon either.

A midfield like that would solve problems and raise new ones. It would also demand massive investment in other areas of the team to compensate. Much rather persist with Tonali.

Casemiro wouldn’t, especially not assuming the other 2 CMs would be Fernandes and our Bruno. He was brilliant for the first half of last season, granted.

100%

I fancy us at OT.

I don’t think it’s possible to replace Schar for what he contributes. He’s also younger than Trippier and plays in a position that ages better than RB.

Obviously Willock in for Miley is a massive positive but yes, he was very good first half in particular.

Are we worried about West Ham? If we can’t finish above West Ham I really don’t think we can have any complaints whatsoever about not playing European football.

Good win, solid showing. Midfield still not where we need it to be but far far better with Willock. Dubravka very solid today too.

What a man.
