Yep. There seems to be a failure from his supporters to acknowledge that his game has rapidly declined from last season.

He can get it back, but it’s where he is right now.

If he was playing well and scoring goals, he’d be in the United team and all would be well.

Can he?

Players decline with age - they don't seem to 'get it back' approaching 40.

That £#%&!ing trumpet

Not saying he’ll suddenly be a world beater again, but I think he’s still got a better level than what we’re seeing right now. He’s frustrated and low on confidence, as well as just his powers fading.

Honestly don't think that applies to him.

No matter how fit you are, eventually your brain just isn't able to talk to your legs as quickly as they once did.

Hope he does his hamstring tbh

That was soft

I’ll get there. Probably score, rip shirt off and have a tattoo of ETH with a line through it on his chest. That ought to do it.

Another dog shit game

So shit even the officials want it over.

Portugal were Por, Ghana were ghash

If he'd just gone then I'd agree, but he tried to undermine the fella in your avatar* who is looking like the best thing to happen to us in years just because he's a touchy little bitch. So £#%&! him.


*Ten Hag, not Ralph Wiggum

Some shite games today

Cultural appropriation from the lad in whiteface there

Glad that Otavio is off. Awful.

Oh oh. Love a good feigned injury the Portuguese.

There's one for the fans of awful playing it out from the back

Not a pen for me.

Very soft
