As much as I like Maguire jokes, he’s been our best defender this season (and probably most available one)

Varane has played most games out of all our CBs this season believe it not lol. But Maguire has been good. If he’s happy being 4/5 choice I wouldn’t mind him staying. Then get rid of the likes of Varane, Linderlof, Evans
 
Went exactly as I expected with the team we had out and squad available. Only thing o got wrong was the score line. I thought palace would get 5.
 
No lie I think it was elder abuse having Evans dragging his clearly injured/not match fit carcass around that pitch. Less said about Case the better. Also Onana gives me peak Mignolet vibes where you start the game one nil down as any half decent shot on target is a goal.
 
Yeah add to that AWB checked out he’s knows he’s gone and been awful awful. Eriksen less said. Same goes for Antony. Tbh it wouldn’t surprise me if some of these injuries we have are not really that bad. And it’s the same ***** that got Ragnick sacked player power. ETH in or out we need a massive massive clear out!

My fear is ETH will get the sack. Some will think deservedly going off results etc. but a new manager will come in and half these wasters will get another chance and we will be on this same cycle come 2 yrs time. I hope Ineos, Wilcox, Berrada, Ashworth go a different route and bin off this squad before the manager.

If I know we’d be conceding this many shots, I wouldn’t have signed him. It’s not like his shot stopping wasn’t mediocre at inter/ajax

His fundamentals are so bad whenever you watch him play. It scares me that whoever scouted him thought yep this is what we need in the PL. Negligence at the highest order again, and I had to watch peak Mignolet steal a living for 5 seasons or so.

We both said last summer it was big downgrade on De Gea save for he was better with his feet. But the gamble was what you gain in possession, you lose in the basics.

I hold my hand up to you on Mount though. You were dead against that stupidity from the get go and so it proved. I got that totally wrong. Pound for pound, given the ridiculous over pay in fee and wages for a player in the last year of his contract, coming off his worst season at Chelsea. which had everyone else walking away, that has to be ine if the worst signings in recent memory even by Utd's mad standards. Mad thing was tou had far more pressing needs as well.

He’s not even on the pitch enough for me to tell people how senseless of a signing he was.

Just didn’t understand the revisionism of Mason Mount as a player when we signed him. He had a purple patch run of form in 21/22 where he stat padded but out side of that, he’s been as bang average as you’ll see. Maybe we should buy Gallagher too so we can continue that trend…at least Gallagher can actually stay fit.

Watching him yesterday just made me realize how much I value Bruno Fernandes.

You have gone completely the other way. Yes some fans overhyped him before signing but to say he was/is bang average is not even close. He was consistently good at Chelsea for about 3 seasons won there player of the season 2 times in a row and was superb in there CL campaign. There’s a reason Pool were seriously interested in him. But unlike us there a proper run club and knew he wasn’t worth the fee all things considered especially with his contract situation.

But like you mention he’s not been on the pitch enough yet. He could turn out to be a good signing despite being the wrong signing at the time. Even though I could see also why ETH wanted him

Maybe you should ask to play L’pool 38 times a season? That would sort all Utd's ills.

Still don’t understand how we failed to win one of three against the worst coached Utd shambles in my life time. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤬
