I think a forfeit counts as a 3-0 loss

Fine by me

Can we forfeit Sunday too?

This. 100% this.

yes, but two of those would never have been scored if we'd equalised. the amount of good possession we had, we should have created clear scoring opportunities. the score flattered bournemouth, but the win didn't.

if you want to point the finger, it is the fact that no one who had the ball around the edge of the penalty area played a decent ball in. and, whilst martial was on, no one made a decent run either.

Shaw and Reguillon were passing themselves into a corner the whole first half, giving the ball away the whole game. Shaw gave the ball away for the second, then got outjumped by the only man he had to mark. Onana's managed to be a downgrade on De Gea, some feat that. They were shambolic (not £#%&!ing "decent") the whole game; you pointing to another part of the team that was equally useless doesn't change that.

ETH has made mistakes but it the same mistakes are happening for a decade with the same players.

That whole back 4.

Giving him loan players. Not signing a second striker. Not selling martial.

ETH has made mistakes but he has to out stay some of the shit@#%&!s at the club otherwise theyl will remain and we will be saying they same thing in 18 months time.

It has already been explained that these are not the same players.
3 players carry over from Van Gaal’s 40 man squad. 6 from Mourinho. Of these, numerous have been ostracised. It is not comparable.

I do not think you grasp the severity of the situation. The last time we saw attacking output like this was in a relegation season. An actual relegation. Anything that came from Van Gaal or Mourinho pales in comparison.

Not that either were remotely the answer, either. As their subsequent careers have shown.

Ten Hag is symptomatic of the broader problem, which is rudderless football leadership at the executive level. Jim needs to fix this, by which Ten Hag will also need to leave.

You’re on your last warning now, boy. All it takes is one message on the Fred WhatsApp group chat and I’ll have the boys all rounded up and ready to £#%&!ing annihilate you. It’ll happen so fast you won’t even have time to understand what’s happening, you dumb little gimp.

Now be a good boy, and go sit in the corner, contemplating just how close you flew to the sun today.

Today

Onana - ETH
Dalot - Jose
Maguire-ole
Shaw-lvg
Regullion -eth

Amrabat- eth
The Scottish Player-Been here since Jose squad player at best

Antony-ETH
Bruno-ole
Garnacho-academy

Martial- LVg
Half the team today were players who have consistently played shit for three managers

Two of his signings today were loan players. The board gave him two players who can’t even get into their parent team.

Last time we saw something like this was regulation season ok pal. The game was dreadful but it’s no different to ole/lvg/jose days. Stop with the dramatics .

ETH has made mistakes , but the bigger issue is sacking him and starting again whilst shit@#%&!s at the club remain.

The Championship would be best for all concerned

4 shots on target for Bournemouth. 3 went in. That just can’t be allowed to happen.

Meanwhile we have 20 shots on goal and 3 were on target. Again, can’t be allowed to happen

the back four and the bat played well for most of the game. the passing the ball around at the back is stupid and puts us under pressure constantly (as noted), but that is not on the players. shaw and reguilon were both excellent in the first half (reguilon's crossing was a bit balloony, though); your comment is nonsense.

onana is an idiot. I wasn't talking about him.

the goals at the end flattered bournemouth, but it is harsh to blame shaw for being outjumped.

if we had a balanced team and not incompetent £#%&!wits up front, we would have won that game and the defence would not have been under any pressure.

You realise he picked the team? He chose Martial over the striker he allowed the club to pay £70m for.

He chose to sign a keeper when we could have easily resigned De Gea. A decision that in hindsight has us eliminated from a relatively easy CL group.

If we needed a midfielder badly, I’m not sure why he prioritised the signing of Mount.

ole signed garnacho

And was there anything more predictable than him leaving Bruno on to get his suspension booking?

He made mistakes. Hojlund is obviously on a regime to manage his fitness. Do you really think after his performance against Chelsea he has a fully fit and ready Hojlund and went “hmmm I think il start martial” the real issue is we have no cover for CF.

Wrong thread

£#%&! knows what you're watching. The forwards were £#%&!ing useless, agreed, but saying the defence were decent is utterly moronic.
