8 touches for Haaland. Honestly, how big am I?

And yet he still got a GOAL CONTRIBUTION.
I triple captained the trogolodyte it's my fault.
This is your annual reminder that nobody cares about Fantasy Football team outside of your thread. Stop it.
Yeah, it wasn't highlight worthy so I figured there'd be nowt in it. Same goes with the March/Joelinton slap fight.
4-0 defeats at Brentford and Brighton [also managing to lose to the latter again in the interim] in the space of what, 6 or 7 games, is a bit concerning for the Manchester United Football Club.
I said the same in the terrible transfer window Ole got handed a couple of years ago, but if I were Ten Hag and I didn't get major signings before the end of the transfer window, I'd quit. Set up to fail.
But he'll get loads of cash hanging about.
And then be tarnished with "failing" at United for however long. Despite what this forum seems I think, I firmly believe plenty of actually care about succeeding rather than just earning money whilst losing.
Watching motd and I didn't know Eriksen was brought in as starter for Man Utd in a deep role. I thought he would be backup for Fernanj?
Eriksen probably was brought in to be a challenge to Fernanj but the recruitment has been so poor that's the only option.
I'd love Ten Haag to walk but it wouldn't change anything.
What is a Fernanj?
I think Eriksen would be fine as a deep lying central midfielder if he had a stronger number 6 alongside him. But playing him deep and isolated made no sense at all. Let him sit in the centre of the pitch and ping the ball around.
United need a goalkeeper and a defensive midfielder as a minimum this season. Then ideally two new starting full backs. Which means they'll probably sign a shiny new striker and winger if recent windows are anything to go by.
The problem is we also do actually need a new shiny striker and winger.
Our line-up containing only players who are actually good enough on current evidence is something like:
GK
RB
CB Varane
CB Martinez
LB
CM
CM Eriksen
AM Bruno Fernandes
RW Sancho
LW
CF I guess Ronaldo
And even then there's obviously question marks over Martinez's height, Ronaldo being immobile and Varane never being fit.
Martinez is a gift from the gods for proper footballing men.
To add to this, expensive/ players in the squad who clearly don't appear good enough.
De Gea, AWB, Dalot, Maguire, Bailly, (Lindelof? Probably our best performing CB lmao), Jones (yes he's still there), ?Shaw, McTominay, Rashford, Martial. I'm sure I'm missing some.
So grim.
Eriksen and Fernandes in a midfield 3 regardless of who the other ‘DM’ is sounds absolutely horrendous
Everything about United sounds horrendous.
Having seen Joao Palhinha absolutely boss it in his first 2 games for us, I can't understand why a team like Utd weren't in for him. Especially for only £18m.
Henderson should get recalled, Greenwood should restart training.
He was really hyped last summer and United reportedly looked at him, but the Sporting fans reckoned he'd really fallen off this year and Ugarte was the one to go for.
Sounding like last season was the anomaly.
Genuinely if you just signed players who are good on FM from smaller teams I don't think you'd go far wrong.
Speaking of Greenwood, I was surprised to see they’ve assigned him his squad number again.
Even the ones you've listed doesn't fill me with confidence. Fernandes has been so far off the pace for ages now and Sancho barely influences. I struggle to understand how Laird and Garner can't get look ins (we know the standard of Fred, Mctomminay, wan Bissaka, Shaw).
The team is in a very bad way.
£50m on his BFF midget and starting that midfield 3 and people trying to defend the paedo
Forest are apparently signing Auoar from Lyon to mark their 73rd signing of the window.
Aouar
They're going to go down in style.
Sort of Arab quality that their spine of shit brexit gammons and squadron of BLM acquisitions desperately needs. Could do a number on Southampton still.
The pull of the Premier League is properly mental.
i know I’m late but… United
I'm a twit
Why don't Forest have a shirt sponsor? I mean, I'm all for it as it makes the kit look swish, but it's surprising.
Apparently they want £10m a season for a sponsor which no one is willing to pay right now.

Only Sean Dyche 3:16 can save Man Utd now
Steve Bruce with assistant Mark Hughes.
He's a decent manager to be fair and probably what we need.
Forest living dangerously.
That's a stonewall pen.
This ref is useless, VAR holding his hand all day.
Henderson
Recall him.
Two days in a row the same token woman on Sky. Will they dare do a game without her at all this season?
Could always be worse for United.
Champions of being Small Time.
We still haven't had a decent set piece taker since Zola.
