Manchester United Thread 25/26 - Teamtalk/Transfers/Gossip Mod Note in OP 26.09.24

Garnacho gets plenty of the ball. We had 5 big chances though in the 2nd half and he didn't create or wasn't on the end of any of them.

Rasmus didn’t start and displayed his shortcomings when he did come on.

Lad is like a container ship off the mark which was so evident in the play which Rice blocked his shot in.

I’d love to see him succeed but these are glaring shortcomings as a striker. Likewise his ‘leap’ off the ground is non existent.

Those are major deficiencies as a Premier League striker and highlight the lack goals from the lad.

The Bruno chance our best chance come from garnacho crossing the ball into Mazraoui after beating a man on the wing, it's not the assist pass but he is massively influential in that..saying if he isn't making the last pass or shot is completely reductive and shows a lot of bias,.also ignoring he wins the free from the goal we scored from in the first half is you trying to paint a narrative that isn't there

He had a good great game probably our best player definitely top two.

Also maybe you should think about why Garnacho always get so much ball, he is quick, he makes good runs, the team has confident passing to him and it won't just bounce off him, he is always looking for the ball when others don't

To be fair, Rice said the same after the match that he thought our lads were back very far when they had free. Seems to be the refs fault

Onana was very poor...kicking balls out of play and aimless ones up the field. Got very lucky with the save he palmed out at the end. Hopefully he will be replaced in the summer. Heaven excellent when he came on. Eriksen and Casemiro just phoning it in

For a team fighting for the league the amount of time wasting Arsenal do on dead balls is a laugh...even Rice celebrating the equaliser in front of the Stretford End...what a dope...you need the win...get on with it as quick as you can...

Another thing from the game actually when you think how bad we were from corners against arsenal in one of Amorims first games we dealt with then quite comfortably today, I think we are seeing lots of incremental improvements under the manage that kinda go unnoticed, onana did make that mistake from the save near the end for sure but in the last two games he has been claiming more crosses and been more commanding in his box he might not be the long term answer but its good to see players improving aspects of their game under the manager at the least

Seeing one wing back set up another wing back for what could of been an excellent goal another small sign that players are realizing what is expected. Pity Maz couldn't finish it, would have been a nice one.

We have had to watch a lot of crap to just get to the stage where we are seeing some small signs of improvement... but it seems we are getting there slowly.

Rooney on MotD2 for anyone interested in what he'll have to say about us.

Is Onana not doing that?

I wouldn't say that that evaluation of Hoijlund is correct…the lad does try.

The problem is that he is too slow in thought and movement. He was at least one metre ahead of Rice with the ball at his left foot yet Rice still blocked his shot. He looks like he is playing in porridge.

A decent striker does his own work and doesn't expect gilt edged chances to be served up all the time.

Rasmus is totally lacking in that department, how many corners have Utd won over the last month or so?

How many has Rasmus influenced or got a strike on target from…….none that I can remember…..

I put a lot down to hesitiation - as I don't think this slowness was evident at Atalana or when he first joined.
