Post Match Thread - United (h)

We are 16 games in and I am trying to think how many games we have actually played well this year. I am thinking maybe three.

This team looks a shadow of that of the past two seasons. Yes, we have had some terrible injuries. Yes, we are missing the leadership of Vinny. But, more than that we have become slow and predictable. Teams have figured out how to defend and have learned that our Achilles Heel is that we are extremely susceptible to being hit on the break. Either, our defenders press so high up the pitch they leave acres of space behind them for the ball over the top or (like today) we concede the midfield allowing opponents to run at us at speed.

The squad needs surgery. Some of the older players need to go and either we give the youngsters like Garcia, Harwood-Bellis and Foden their chance or we have to go into the market. We need a left back, at least one central defender and a striker. We probably also still need a defensive midfielder. Fernandinho can’t last for ever and whilst it’s clear Rodri is a quality player I am concerned he doesn’t have the pace we need at this level.
 
Ole talking bollocks here. Twice he said we’re the best in the world...
 
You're on very thin ice fella. Coming on here as a rival fan (IP address in Glasgow) is not a very clever move.

This is the same prick who defended the actions of our 'fans' in the corner on the match thread.
 
Laporte injury was a disaster, but Sane if not injured would have left anyway.

John Stones is John Stones, a sick note and MIA when required.

To not bring in a least 1 CB this summer was criminal negligence.

We should have been shopping for a CB before Kompany left as Otimendi was going, Kompany confirming he was leaving doubled the importance of it, and we failed thinking getting Oti to stay solved the issue, when Laporte got injured each and every city fan knew we were in shit street.

Sane is a miss, but we've always been top heavy on midfielders/forwards. We lack a decent left back as well.
 
Gotta take the shit with the shine sometimes. Transitional season, with many players in need of a rest.

Some in need of replacing as well

Jesus
Both left backs
Two centre halves needed
Replacement for Ferna when he hangs up his boots
Replacement for Sergio when he hangs up his boots (Jesus aint it)
Replacement for Sivla - can foden do it?????????
 
Fully agree with everything

IF sane was fit howver he would at least give us an option
Sadly not in defence though.
Three left backs this season and all 3 have struggled
Stones again looks awful
For an international player he looks lost
