I thought he'd be ok (nothing special but get top 8 last season) but he seems worse than Ten Hag. He hasn't got a clue and his formation and style doesn't fit any of their players. I don't rate most of their players but jairzinho is right that at least a 4231 would fit their players better...

i didn't see it, think both teams were poor last week. United definitely better than Arsenal but think people went over the top. It was a game littered with mistakes and hoofs.

Never doubt me on Man United.

They'll be garbage either way. Their problems run way way deeper than formation lol.

Help from refs and outplayed most of the game. Back to reality after they overrated last week's performance.

United better team for first 10 mins but think Fulham better for most of the rest of the half. It's a penalty but the problem is it goes on all the time and it's random when they call it and when they don't. Not surprised they give it when United are struggling in a game to try to give them a...

400k a week? Really? Surely not, that must be wrong. He's a 150k a week at best player.

Forgot Yoro, great talent, though he makes a few mistakes at times, to be expected at his age though. Zirkzee is on the bench and has done absolutely nothing of note in a Man United shirt, but ok.

He was good against Arsenal but generally don't rate him and think he's prone to an error. You should watch. Think tonight you may be temporarily able to get one over on me as I think United will win 2-1. Fulham usually play well but lose to United.

Man U team looks awful apart from Cunha, Mbeumo and maybe Amad. Still think they'll win though as they're Fulham's bogey team and won their last 8 games away at Craven Cottage apparently.

yeah I agree - I had more in mind latter stages of the CL type of games against opponents with more parity.

Have to remember too that game state can fluctuate - a game can be all about one team dominating and the other team denying space. Then based on a goal, or a sub, it can become a basketball game with space opening up. Football and game state is not static, but fluid and dynamic. So guys like...

I am intrigued to see how he does in games where the other team is more adventurous and leaves more gaps. The other thing is he has literally zero experience of going deep into the CL with Man United (I mean semis and finals and even quarters were rare, if they ever made them). He has also...

True of course. Just think it's a bit too much money to pay to a guy who is only very useful in very specific scenarios.

I didn't know Evan Ferguson had gone there on loan.

That's why it's curious that Barca have taken him on loan - the tactical quirks which suit his game are geared towards playing as the underdog and on the counter (as Man United always do). He's tailor-made for that. That tactical quirk is the main reason he scores so many goals against big sides...

He can still contribute over the season, but I think a fair appraisal acknowledges he has a lot of flaws in his game - some of which can be coached out (and haven't been) and others which are inherent to him. Still, he has his uses against high defences. However, how often do Barca play against...

I like him a lot and as I said, I consider him a top 5 player in the world. But that's a bit much mate lol, Iniesta is likely a top 5 mf ever.

Of course the other inescapable point is that you cannot seperate defence and attack. The high line and high risk is what leads to high reward and so many goals being able to be scored. If Flick played more pragmatically you'd concede fewer but likely score fewer too. Overall, though, I think...
