DE.

8 draws out of 12 games at the weekend. 6 draws out of 8 games tonight. Teams at the very top of the wage table don't look to have spent well.

Because he'll do what he's told and toe the line, unlike our pesky last two managers who tried to uphold something resembling standards.

That letter to the fans when he joined though. A moment in time.

Yeah never mind. Put Ohashi back in.

Curious as to how Kargbo's recent FM stats look (still playing 18). 15 for pace/acceleration, sub-10 for everything else? Lad is a waste of a shirt at this level and a great example of why "pacy winger" is not an instant solution to anything.

Late Brum equaliser keeps us out of the relegation zone for now.

It's kind of difficult to feel that upset about the prospect of relegation. Venky's deserve it. Suhail, Gestede and Owen deserve it. The manager and players will likely deserve it. The fans who'd rather wave toy snakes and sing about EFL conspiracies deserve it. Not all of us obviously, but a fair few from what's left. A truly rotten club. It's going to be a long way back.

We're going to get relegated from a league where a team can lose 80% of their senior squad, be under a transfer embargo and still handily compete against pretty much everyone. Good job Venky's.

Looks like a pen to me. Shame we weren't winning against a bang average team at home, then it would have just been a small annoyance.

When a team is shit you'll always hear them moaning about their luck, because that's all they have left to rely on.

Just thinking about how he can blame the ref this time. He knows he's got it good on his 3.5 year contract.

Guess nobody will be asking if we're stronger than last season now, or effusively praising the recruitment department whilst burying a manager who actually wanted us to succeed. Absolute disgrace what these frauds have done to us.

Who would have thought getting rid of all of our championship experience and replacing it with random cheapos from across the globe would turn out this way?

Swansea look like they'd rather be anywhere else. Not up for it at all. Great for us though. No reason we shouldn't expect a win here.

Ohashi can at best be OK in that position. Have to give Gudjohnsen a chance to show if he can do better. If he can't then it's going to be a grim season. Well, I'm sure it will regardless, but even more grim.

Their scrapping of JDT's project nearly got us relegated again, and Eustace departing midway through the season led to yet another playoff collapse. JDT also managed that in his first season thanks to the owners. Little reason to believe Mowbray wouldn't have achieved the same thing JDT or Eustace ultimately did - nothing. That's not a knock on either JDT or Eustace for the record, we'll always achieve nothing under these owners because they are poison

A relief that Alebiosu starts. Hope we haven't rushed him back, mind. Thank god we've finally given up on the doomed Ohashi lone striker experiment. For now, anyway.

Pointless from the owners perspective because they have no ambition, therefore it was a waste of time hiring JDT/Eustace and their staff. Might as well have kept Mowbray as the limit of their ambition is keeping us in the division.

Waggott was a rubbish CEO if you wanted an ambitious club, but he was absolutely perfect for Venky's. Lunacy to get rid of him from their perspective. Same goes for Mowbray tbh. Perfect manager for their level of ambition, absolutely pointless letting him go when he would have quite happily stayed.

If we draw or lose tonight the LT should be all over this, especially with recent events considered.

Reflects really badly on Man Utd's recruitment team, because it would have been obvious their squad didn't suit that formation either - not just that, but the players they've brought in look no more comfortable playing Amorim's way than the players he inherited. The only positive for them is that when a new manager is finally appointed there, he won't have to worry about disrupting the team by changing the system. Almost anything would suit United's players better than this. I still think it's pitiful when a manager boasts about stubbornly sticking to a system regardless of results, as if that's something to be proud of. It just means you have zero flexibility and a limited understanding of the game as a whole.

Can confirm the shirts are incredible quality, very pleased 👍

He was supposed to leave in the summer, move didn't materialise and he's since scored 6 in 7 matches. Ronald is another one to look out for. Been a major player in attack for them this season.

Apparently they're going to wait until November because the amount of compo goes significantly down. One imagines Amorim knows he's a dead man walking at this point.

I think our first eleven, if they played every week, would stay up. With injuries and suspensions, I think we're vulnerable.
