Hilarious that we're so bad people are running Ederson revision, that brother STINKS
I completely forgot about "Project 2028" 😭😭😭
INEOS are an absolute disgrace
This is like a squad you see on a big teams FM on a save 5 seasons down the line & think, what the fuck happened here 🤣
Actually depressing man, we’d need a class of 92 to spawn in to become competitive anytime soon
The cheek of them to believe we’ll challenge for the league next season, they don’t have a clue
Definitely true and a big part of the drop off.
However the most critical is obviously the huge fitness issues which combined with the injuries and absences of our top quality players are only exposing our middling OOP play even more, making us both easy to attack and defend.
This is from an article I wrote in September 16th so the numbers won't be up to date but at that time, since Carrick had taken over, 56% of United's opening goals had come from corners, free-kicks or penalties, and 28% were from Casemiro's headers.
From one of the best to one of the worst at set-pieces in the league, which was the source of the majority of their opening goals, and it's an easier explanation for their form that people are missing.
What the squad needs
LW: Strong 1v1 fundamentals, ideally creative aswell (Nusa???)
RW: Strong 1v1 fundamentals, ideally creative aswell (no clue)
9: Duel winner, stays fit and consistent bagsman (???)
CM: Someone who can run
CB: Someone who can run
FB: Depends on new coach
Current Squad Build out is a bit tragic
LW: SS who doesn't move off the ball (Cunha) / Washed guy who can't run for 90 minutes (Rashy)
ST: Top 9 who is fit once every 3 months (Sesko) / Pretty good off ball 9 with zero on ball game at ST and severly angle limited (Mboom)
Diomande lowkey the anti-Baleba.
The more you watch him, the more it becomes obvious that beyond the flashy, highlight reel stuff there's a great deal of intelligence and game understanding there always waiting to be unleashed along with his incredible talent.
Think this is the reality of why assessing players on their traits is obviously the best way to see how they will translate.
99 G/A at youth level against future PE teachers means nothing without the requisite toolbox of tech skill & PnP for it to translate to the highest levels
The reality is since Ineptos come in, they've had at most ONE 7/10 window (Summer 25) which is an absolute disgrace considering what they promised.
I love football so much, this clerb may be finished so I may have to go back to being a yoof enjoyer like in 2020
One of the biggest modern trends that are potentially "underutilized" is that old school box crashing and space attacking MF.
Done to very good effect by Madrid today, but has to be supported team wide by strong athleticism and last line threat for it to work.
🚨 José Mourinho: "I told Camavinga that Tchouaméni will stay low and protect the defense, and you will attack SPACE.
It's difficult for any attackers to attack space against Barcelona, the only solution is to do it with your MIDFIELDERS.
When your attackers do it, Barca's defense is prepared and coached for that, and your attackers end up being offside, or the pass ends up being cut by Joan Garcia.
The solution is to use midfielders like Camavinga and Bellingham to break that line, and it worked."
Bad coach, bad players, bad owners.
There is no light at the end of the tunnel.

This is the first time I haven’t cared.
Like towards the end I wanted Ole, ETH & Amorim to lose games for the “greater good” but this time round what’s the benefit? All the managers we’re linked to are either dogshit or won’t join till next summer. There’s legitimately no hope

This is genuinely the reason I've stopped tweeting. Look, I'd really like to analyse us, I really do, but there comes a time when it just gets so boring having to analyse negative aspects of our game all the time.
It's a lot of work to just say, "Yep, still rubbish."
I'm tired.
