Is our squad rotten?

[jal123]

Signing a fella that Mourinho spotted as soon as he walked into United as being a busted flush?

Spending £45m on a lad who couldn't cut it at Spurs but looked good at Swansea?

How many big money transfers from Holland actually work out?

Getting Martina when even 'Kin soton didn't want him?

£30m on a keeper who looks good fair enough but if that took funds from a striker?

Signing a Spanish fella for ten bob and Everton buzzing cos we'd had Atletico off? If they wanted him they'd have had him

Selling a striker that will get astronomical numbers for united this season and not replacing him?


It's the most Everton thing in the world.

Lose our best player and sign 300 lads with no pace who a play in the same position!

Walsh was supposed to uncover 'gems'?

Who, who has he signed that nobody knew about? That was a bargain? That is pulling their weight?


Stealing a Living the fat biff, same as that lad at Newcastle that signed all thefremch lads then The season after they got relegated.

I do have to say there might actually be something in it. I did think similar during the first half.

With Rooney being back as well, probably doesn't help.

Looking for a Miricle TBH.

I don't think they're playing for him myself.

In September, in saying that. Can't believe it

Maybe they are but he signed most of them, virtually all if you include new contracts for those he inherited.

No, the manager has the man management skills as bad as anything i can remember. Players aren't responding to hi Dutch 'Honesty'; he has upset the applecart one too many times and we are witnessing the fallout. He has to go and I can't believe I am saying this so early in the season but we have to stop the rot.

...oh dear, these are the threads that follow a thumping (or two thumpings).

Three thumpings with a fourth to follow. Manure could hit us with a cricket score the way we are playing.

Since about late March/April there has been something not right about the team, I along with most other people put it down to them downing tools and getting their flip flops on, but it seems there is a definitely a bigger problem here.
The most worrying thing for me is the complete and utter lack of attacking threat, even under Martinez we always had a threat, we were just a bit crap in defence, now we seem to have self imploded.
Although there is definitely a lot of blame lying at Koeman's feet at the moment, trying to play three number 10's in the same position, with absolutely no pace in the squad and no width what so ever isn't helping.

Can't wait for our trip to Old Trafford

...at least we looked solid at the back against Stoke and City.

The manager needs to put players with the relevant trait in their relevant position. Simple as that.
One fine example is siggy on the left wing. 9 out of 10 times he will receive the ball and lack the ability to press forward, ending up with a back pass. Constant repeating such meaningless and unproductive approach will destroy the players confident in no time because nothing he does in that position will end up positive.

Duplicate this approach on klassen, DCL, Rooney and it's no wonder our whole attacking unit is suffering with no confidence and playing without a clue at the moment. Morale and discipline will erode soon after., made worst when specialise players in that role is sitting in the bench wondering why.

I expect this squad to crumble if there is no change to the management team.

 

[royalblue66]

Most boring team in the prem, fact.

Sorry if i'm regurgitating something from 2 years ago but it seems relevant to the point you're making:

At least we're eating well.

That's pizza's and nachos mate. Start looking after yerself, or you'll end up like Wayne Rooney. Fat, useless and handing forty quid to some fifty year old brass. Don't wanna see you go down that road mate.

Don't think Rooney's recent escapades have helped moral much.
