Lotus Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Think Dalot is a good footballer tbf. Obvs a more attacking FB than defensive. Think to what happens when either of our flanks get overloaded or runners start moving into space to create trouble, a midfielder or a WF drop back to help out. We protect our players when they come under pressure. Antony did the square root of F.A. to help Dalot out. Same with the midfield pair largely and he also didn’t get much support from his CB. On top of that he was clearly tasked with trying to be a key attacking outlet. Just got left out to dry by his teammates for most of the match.

alexf Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Love how I keep reading that it was our B team. I would say this was comfortably a C team. Still had the likes of Barnes, Murphy, Miley, Anderson, Tonali all missing who would have started if fit. Plus players like Lascelles rested due to filling in for Botman recently. Plus as mentioned, essentially playing with 10 as Ritchie's legs went about 2 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) I love how Man United being shit is still talked about like it's surprising among pundits and fan podcasters. They've been shit off and on for 10 years, even when they've succeeded in relative terms, they've never really looked good, their best periods have been as a counter attacking team. On - just enough for their fans and ex-players to get ahead of themselves and arrogantly hype up how good they are and how they're going to challenge Then off - to make all of that arrogance and hype come crashing down nothing short of hilarious until the next time it happens Man United are the Liverpool of the 90s. A team that the youngest generations will be wondering why anyone's talking about this much Edited November 2, 2023 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Neville is right, on reflection. The chaos behind the scenes is paralysing that club. No-one, either publicly or privately, can give Ten Haag any reassurance about his future or even sack him, because Ratcliffe is supposedly going to be taking over the football side of the business. Even then, it's not going to be clear who is going to be in control, because one of the Glasers will be part of the trio managing the football side, and as the majority shareholders, they will surely still have some sort of veto over decisions. No manager of any repute is going to walk into that situation either. It's even worse than the mess that Shepherd made over Sir Bob's succession. There's more than enough talent in the squad to get into the top four and challenge for trophies. But everyone's on shifting sand. What a mess.

Tiresias Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 In fairness i didn't have them being this bad thought they'd be similar to last season solid not especially exciting but efficient.
