Slow and ponderous, nothing changed, a manager who talks a good game but unable to relay that to the players

Ten Hag isn’t exactly lighting my world on fire. Not seeing any real tactical changes during the game and his sub today was questionable at best. His subs remind me of a previous management. |

Erik’s actually the first manager of the bunch to refuse to let a youngster come on and make an impact.

I don't rate him much but even Elanga should've come on for Sancho, at least he's got pace and you know, sprints.

Oh fuck me, just seen we’re away to Chelsea next week as well 🙈 With spurs visiting on Wednesday. This was a must win and now our top 4 hopes already hanging in the balance. |

Really difficult to see us finishing top 4.
We look a lot better defensively now that Maguire and Lindelof are on the bench but goals are going to be a problem.
Erik is looking a bit foolish spending 100m euros on Antony. He looks very far off being the finished article and looks fairly one dimensional. We'd have done better to spend a bit more and signed Osimhen. Erik gave a press interview a few days ago claiming he had players in his squad capable of scoring 20 goals a season. But I am not seeing it and that is going to cost us.
Also getting to the point where we need an upgrade on Bruno. I'm really losing patience with him. It might be worth having another go for Frenkie in January if Barcelona get knocked out from the Champions League and continue to leave him out of the big games. Frenkie and Casemiro in midfield and Eriksen taking Bruno's place as a CAM and our midfield becomes top class.

He's a clever player on the ball and behind a clinical striker could be the making of him because here I don't see it on the wing. |

Continually underwhelming. Antony has looked better in the short time he's been here than Sancho has in his entirety. |

Don’t think we have any chance of top 4 which is why europa is so important, but if the likes of Barca are dropping in to it then our chances of winning that are even less than they were |

I'm apoplectic with rage. Fred should never play for us again the useless cunt. Fucking Sancho, absolutely criminal he played 90 minutes there, he does literally nothing, just a fucking passenger. I wish I could still care this much. I can barely muster more than a shrug these days, regardless of result, good or bad. |

Not sure who it was on this forum who said we didnt need strengthening upfront. It is clear we got no one there. Rashford aint a striker and Martial is made of paper. Ronaldo is clearly not got it anymore, no one can fight aging.
We could have easily won this if we had a serious forward upfront.
We aint finishing in the top 4, look at our rivals, they all won today some even playing badly, we are playing catch up.

We need Eriksen to stay fit or we're fucked. Simple as that. Without him we're a mess. The lack of awareness around these players is astounding at this level. Half of these players jave little to no fight whatsoever. Just half arsing it to collect their pay cheque. I've made excuses for Bruno and Fred for long enough but there's only so much you can defend a player. Neither one is doing near enough. My only criticism of TH is using 1 change. We needed to change it up a bit towards the end. Probably why Ten Hag was obsessed with getting FDJ at the start of the season. |
