Fernandes losing his head out of frustration, flying into tackles and endangering his opponents, sort of thing that as someone once said "doesn’t belong on a pitch."

Never liked him and never seen him as a united player.
Never seems to offer much.
Like most of them, the biggest bunch of big time Charlie's in the PL.
I love watching United getting tonked.

Antony swiping at Doku as well, can't believe he got away without a red for that. Hopefully Ten Hag will be criticising his own players for tackles like that. He was perfectly happy to (rightly) criticise Andy Carroll for similar last season.

Man United have now lost as many Premier League games at Old Trafford since Sir Alex Ferguson retired as they did during his 26 years at the club.

They have lost five of their first 10 league games for the first time since 86-87.

I'm sure they showed Mount coming on at halftime but can't remember him having a single touch of the ball.

results like that have got to hurt.

Guys like Brobot should cut the pain and start following City or Liverpool.

No idea how he fits into the current team.

Yes, but I did not choose them to make myself get reflected kudos.

If ETH wins against Fulham he'll be the 'fastest' manager to achieve 50 wins in United's history.

So I'm not blaming Ten Hag for the way things are going.

Too many shit players: McTominay, Maguire, Evans, Lindelof, Anthony, Martial (always injured), Rashford (unless he scores)

Too many questionable players: Varane (injuries), Casimero (fitness), Garnacho, Amrabat, Mount, Dalot, AWB, Sancho

Had to deal with the sale, Ronaldo, Greenwood, Anthony and now Sancho. All for non-football-related issues

There has also been a ton of injuries and fitness issues which means the squad has been decimated

They look like a total rabble.

Rashford has no appetite for a battle. He runs forward like a hare when given some space but then gives up when he loses the ball.

Antony has the brain of a young child. Complete idiot. £84.5m!! :lol:

Fernandes has the petulance of a young spoilt child. Thinks leadership is about showing frustration with everyone, and running around trying to kick people when things aren’t going his way.

Eriksen and Evans are so past it it’s embarrassing.

Garnacho is a 5 minute wonder.

Mount is... I’m not sure what he is actually.

Onana is capable of some decent saves but is prone to patting the ball straight back into a danger zone, rather than catching it or knocking it into a safe area.

ETH is a conundrum - seems strong in dealing with (some) problem players, but not the ones he’s signed, is negative in many ways, yet in denial about how poor they really are.

5 defeats and they are very fortunate it’s not more than that.

It’s brilliant to watch though.

Why did you choose them?

I'm guessing it'll be the same reason as myself

I was living in Tilehurst.

The league position they are in now is higher than where they were when I started watching regularly in the mid 70’s.

We were going to buy Anthony for 40M euros but dithered and then paid double.

This makes the £27.5M we paid for (£22.5M release clause ) Fellaini seem like a good deal

Garnacho is a good player. Often comes on and changes the game. I watch every Utd game

Fernandes really divides Utd fans, some think he's far too wasteful with the ball others point to the number of goal involvements and chances created.

ETH needs at least time to clear out all* the players that he didn't buy. He can then sink or swim on his own merit

Garnacho does make things happen, but seems to fizzle out very quickly and hardly fizzle at all when he starts. For sure though, in deference to you, I will only have seen a fraction of the minutes he’s played.

So like myself you chose your local team. The league position they are in now is higher than where they were when I started watching regularly (13th)

Casemiro was really good last season. Erikson has been really good in a number of games. Martinez was excellent last season. Malacia was brought in as a cheap backup and has done well.

Onana, Mount and Hojlund to early to judge. Also the striker position at Utd has been a graveyard shift for the last ten years, zero supply!

The free and loan deals are a good indicator of how the Glazers operate. Name another team in the division that would have taken Weghorst as their main striker

Wasn’t the last big protest march the same season that we were last relegated to the fourth tier ?

What goes around …..

Did the Glazers keep the receipt for Mount ?
