vicente_14 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I always thought his biggest issue was with the ball at his feet. He has always been a decent defender just always looked like he had a bomb at his feet but in recent games, he looks far more composed and comfortable. Really pleased for him, one of the few back in the darker days who seemed to care and get it so only fitting he gets to enjoy the happier times.

wormy Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Didn't in anyway forsee feeling so bad at the idea of him dropping back to the bench on Botman's return. Am honestly starting to wonder if Howe is going to tell him the spot is his to lose even when Sven's fully fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proof that if someone has to drop out, then you come in and perform it really will be your spot to lose. Obviously it's hard to make that decision simply due to how good Sven is.

Even starting him against Palace with Sven fit enough for the bench sent a message. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was caught out of position a few times to often and seemed reluctant to tackle, he's fantastic back up but I'd like to see Botman back for the return leg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 They exploited the channel behind Trippier. He could've done better on a few occasions in that space. I think Howe & Trippier himself are more at fault for that though. We should've sat Trippier in more and left less space in behind him. We've done that before when teams first targeted us there.

I've never rated him particularly but he's a full German international with almost 50 caps 100+ games for Bayern. I would've thought he was first-choice. I know ow that Schlotterback or w/e he's called is highly rated too. And everyone knows Hummels. They had 5-6 well-regarded names on that bench.

Yeah I think yesterday’s game is a bit of a reality check in terms of where we’ve come from. We’re a very good side and plenty of our players - Miggy, Dan Burn, Murphy, Longstaff have all done well but eventually those players will be upgraded to the next level. More clinical, greater depth and options from the bench. I’m just enjoying the evolution of the side and the progression. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to struggle to maintain results with that. Most teams would. But your Man U's can deal with it much better than we can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
