Lucky for United that Liverpool are so utterly clueless when lesser teams turn up and park the bus effectively.

That's fair, Anthony does 15 step overs then scuffs the ball out of play.

Bit harsh, sometimes he does 14 step overs then scuffs the ball out of play.

Hoijland doesn't look shite, just not really like a £63M player at the moment.

Yep, he just looks like a young, inexperienced player. Which he is. Clearly has bags of talent, but not yet getting in the right positions or making the right runs, and not clinical in front of goal.

Think he needs someone up top with him, he reminds me a bit of a young Emile Heskey. He will win you everything with his strength and physical prowess but can't play up top alone.

Utd strikers have fed on scraps for years now...it's known as the 'graveyard shift'

Also, who is he supposed to learn from? Martial :lol:

Agreed but, as before, the rot runs deep... I don't think ETH is the problem necessary

Sojskjaer's career has gone nowhere since leaving, but now looking back you'd say he did as good a job as ETH, and just about every other manager since Fergie.

There were some stats on Anthony on 5Live pre match. 14 league games, zero goals, zero assists. In the matches has has played with Hoijland, a total of over 5 hours pitch time with just 4 completed passes.

They made more of this in the match when Anthony did successfully pass to him making 5 in 6 hours of football.

United pretty much play all the time with inverted wingers with a tendency to cut in on their “proper” foot and get a shot away rather than providing opportunities for others.

Gone from believing in a divine right to win the PL to being satisfied with being above a very poor Chelsea

Manchester United have lost 21 games in all competitions in 2023 - only in 1930 (28), 1972 (25) and 1921 (24) have they ever lost more in a calendar year.

For some context I think Reading lost 25 in 2023.
