CAS is on huge wages, and clearly the level has dropped off, he needs replacing and it makes no sense keeping him past the summer just because he's better then the rest, we need upgrades all over if we are to be taken serious again.

I think I read somewhere that 6 of his 8 goals this season have come unassisted. mind boggling if this is accurate We have a 70 million striker who for the most part make all the right runs , but our wide players and even our captain keep ignoring him. Either Ten Hag is not clear in his instruction or they are simply ignoring him , whichever it is we have an issue to sort. Honestly wish I knew the answer to that, but I feel it's both. If you look at Hojlund's goal yesterday... Garnacho has 2 options in front of him Mainoo and Hojlund making the same run in the box and he choosing the defensive midfielder.... this could be because Mainoo was on the right and he had the ball on his left foot, but what I see is these players first choice isn't the Striker. He has been starved for service all season and if the statistics are correct he has mostly had to do it on his own. This is a terrible thing for a young player to learn....

Good point but we cant replace everyone in one summer and there are around 8 players I would move out before him of varane. maybe next summer but if a stupid Saudi offer comes in then we shouldn’t stand in his way if he wants to go there.

Not sure if iam reading too much into it or if the camera didnt cover it , but after he scored the goal there was not much celebration from anybody else. Nobody joined him , not even a pat on the back. Only Scott and Forson was there if I remember correctly.

All i read is the same talk, get rid of these players before these players....... If they aren't the level needed, get rid of them all and start afresh, the standard of excellence needs strong foundations and that will come from players that not only talk the talk but also walk the walk. Absolutely correct , but problem is we will be replacing these guys with 17 /18 year old kids or some bang average player from the dutch league who worked with ETH previously. Then there is ofcourse the issue of FFP which iam not sure is a real thing or some glazer narrative to not spend money.

We spend tons, don’t bring in anything etc etc, the way we have been run is shambolic, we should never be in this position but sadly we are and just have to deal with it. Right now I take kids over some of the older ones. Thing is too many lazy people at the club, too many not doing their jobs on and off the pitch and a manager that has lost his spark.
