Most are his players. Rashford isn’t and started the mess on Sunday by overrunning and then not tracking back, Dalot isn’t and didn’t track Johnson, or rather only bothered to track him until he decided it was too much bother. Garnacho isn’t his player either and he can’t cross a ball and wants to shoot. Our wingers offer nothing and none of them are his players. Mainoo too, goes walkabout and can’t play in a double pivot.
He has spent massively and needs to be doing better, Zirkzee is a waste of money, Anthony isn’t worth talking about.
He needs to get the wingers to play for the team. I don’t know why we go for these out and out wingers who will not work for the team. There have been loads of great, hard working wingers in the PL who want to move to bigger clubs and rather than buy two of those for £40m each we brought Anthony. And the same with Sancho.
I like Mazraoui, I think he will be a decent player for us. I think Ugarte will settle when he has more help in front of him. Be interesting to see Yoro play, he has the pace to make a difference. But it comes from the front, we didn’t press high, didn’t press at all, put no pressure on anyone at all and if the ball was lost we didn’t track back. There is not one CB pairing or holding player in the PL who will look good if no one bothers to help them out.
Even if ETH is telling players not to bother, surely they would know they should at least try?
It just has to be the players.
Villa will be all over us at the weekend and that will be the end of the manager and then the cycle will start all over until we bring in players who can press and a CM to sit with Ugarte.
