Shall we bring on his 80m winger to change thjngs?

Question for you marlo - who would you want in as manager and why?

Even if we equalise, we'll just concede again. The whole thing is a mess. Just horrible.

If you watch the game tapes surely you work on our on pitch issues……

There’s no improvement at all every week but that’s the glazers fault right.

Very rarely agree but he’s spot on

Agree.

But I’m guessing if he hasn’t already he’s very close to losing the players. Rashford and Bruno seem to Beth’s two people want dropped, but both very influential players in the changing room and could swing things for his support.

It’s a shit show.

If we come out second half with the same 11, ETH deserves all the criticism that will come his way when we lose.

The strongest argument for keeping him is that there's nobody else?

If we’re going to be shit - better to be really shit. Going down would see the back of the glazers. This utter nothingness is the real killer. We’re becoming completely irrelevant.

Erikksen coming on

eriksen for cass

He said the Brighton manager, Sampaoli or Zidane

Has also mentioned Ancelotti as a caretaker.

you mean you aren't? although, you are nobody, tbf.

there have been several occasions where he has beaten defenders to the ball. he's also come nearest to scoring. I'm not blaming him for the service. he found h jlund a couple of times and they almost look they are developing something together, but it just hasn't come off yet. the problem has been the service from dalot, bruno, mount and cass.

look like eriksen is coming on. I hope not for amrabat. on for cass makes no sense either. ffs.

Bet none of us guessed it would be Erikssen

Well at least the uber top red lads who used to openly pine after being shit to "get rid of the day trippers" at old trafford will be happy. Hope they're enjoying it tbh.

immediately four players press. with no one behind them.

Every single one of those would fail. The club is set up to fail. We have zero structure in place and zero plan. Nobody at the club has a clue what they’re doing, that much is obvious. The biggest signing the club could make isn’t a manager or any player it’s a world class DOF.

Nobody good enough to actually come in and change the fortunes.

It’s the culture of the club. Players are not held accountable, when things go bad and they need to dig in the most they can half arse it and wait till the manager is sacked .

It’s a cultural issue deeply rooted, giving big contracts, signing players over the age of 30 , signing free transfers in key positions. Making many loans .

New manager will come, of course we will have a bounce, injured players will be back then and then in 18 months we will be having the same conversation

Erik's mini-me is annoying me now.
