That's where I disagree. Big fan of Leonard and I think he was decent enough in tough away game

I would go for Leonard if Ohashi isn't fit. Cantwell would start from the bench. Gueye from the bench.

That just how good Eustace and his staff are at coaching this team but also the players understanding his tactics and positional understanding what is needed

That was always going to be team Eustace picked for this game. it was very clear he would go to Leeds, play deep, compact, deny them space and it was never going to be a game ACD would start in. Surely you could see that before the game? Eustace would have employed the same tactics today regarding of our transfer spend. Lets look at the 3 previous games, We conceded 2 goals to Sunderland after they changed tactics and look to play Roberts higher up on the right wing. They are 4th in the league. Millwall game, we had 10 men when we conceded cos Travis went off. Hull created very little and had we took our clear cut chances we won the game Also just to add, Eustace and the players are doing a brilliant job this season Cos Eustace and players knew how to beat them and stop them being such a threat by playing deep, compact, deny them space in behind.

Same 11 for me

2 points from losing positions and scoring late. That is what good teams do and we are doing. Hull result disappointed but they are tougher to play against now under Sellars. Today was bigger challenge and we stood up and get a well deserved points so that's 4 points out 6 of the league leader. Burnley will have more possession but that will suit us to be honest. I wouldn't change the front 4 if Ohashi is fit. Cantwell will hopefully be fit for the bench.

I can't stand Leeds or that song they sing. Eustace deserved huge credit as do the players for how good our defensive shape, limited Leeds to very little clear cut chances. Going to Leeds is tough but I think we all know under Eustace we are tough to crack in these games. Why I was confidence we wouldnt get beat here. Back 4 and Baker/Tronstad outstanding defensive today. All 8 or 9 out of 10 today

Eustace's Blue and White Army 🔵 ⚪️

Great result. Very good solid performance. Great defensively. The entire team outstanding.. Leeds alot of huff and puff alot. Created very little for people saying how good there are. Eustace set us perfectly for this game just like I knew he would. Very good coach and tactically. Bring the dingles on now!!! Eustace's Blue and White Army 🔵 ⚪️

Very good defensive performance. Keep it up lads COYB 🔵 ⚪️

exactly the team I thought Eustace would pick for this game, Similar tactics to when we played earlier in the season and Cardiff away. I stick with my 1 nil Rovers with Ohashi to score 170/1 odds on Sky Bet COYB!!!🔵⚪

Baines is coaching at Everton academy

It was Gestede who said that the scouting and recruitment system doesn't rely on just one person. At the Fan forum meeting

Ferguson wouldn't have allowed the club to waste so much money on players who aren't worth what they paid, lack of transfer plan, etc They have lacked a coherent plan for years transfer wise and still do now. You just look at the amount of fees spent on average players like Di Maria, Martial, Anthony, etc. Some of players signed in the last 10 years are average players but the other stuff is massively important at clubs like a proper footballing structure, appointing a Director of Football, proper scouting structure, making sure the youth development structure, etc. All they have lacked at the club since Fergie. They had Ralf Rangnick at the club who would be perfect DoF for them and he told them the truth about what they needed to do and who they should have signed. If they have signed the players he recommend like Morata, Enzo Fernandes, Luis Diaz, etc, They would have been much better a team but also have a proper coherent plan in place. For your last point, you are wrong here to assume anything.

Come On Your Blues Eustace's Blue and White Army 🔵⚪ I stick with us winning today, Eustace can set us up perfectly against teams like this before, played Leeds twice, won twice, lets make it 3 now

I know enough thanks overhyped not by us but they are in struggling side, if they were in Fergie teams we wouldn't be having this discussion I would say there is well documented issues around the club for many years and a proper coherent plan and strategy. Ratcliffe and his people haven't improve this. They have over paid for many of the signings over the years whether it was Di Maria or Anthony or Casemiro Forest and Fulham both have quality players, tactical plan, transfers to fit that and players who are together and some leaders

I read Chelsea wanted him

The players I named have quality but none are leaders and they need that. If you put Roy Keane with Rio and Vidic plus Van Der Sar in United team, the others wouldn't be so bad. Mount is struggling injury wise. Mainoo and Garnacho are young players but has talent. Dalot is good quality full back. Give Ugarte and De Ligt time to settle in but but are good quality players. Nono has a plan and signings fit that tactical plan.

You make so very good valid points. United lacked a proper transfer plan for years. I think the first 12 months of Ratcliffe's reign running Footballing operations of the club hasn't improve much including seeing him cutting staff from departments, cutting Christmas party for staff and bonus from £100 to £40 M&S voucher, then add he has cut funding to the Manchester United Foundation. Then add Ratcliffe and his people meeting different managers like Ten Hag, Frank and Mckenna, then suddenly deciding to stick with Ten Hag then sacked him a few moths afterwards. Lack of coherent plan again. Then add he chased Ashworth for months then sacked him within 6 months. For years, United have lacked a proper leadership at the top to have a proper transfer plan and even this summer, how many of those signings have improved them, then add sacking Ten Hag and appointing a new manager who wants to play a very different formation and tactics to previous squad, meaning you need to revamp the squad and I think there is more pain to come. What a mess. Looking at the squad, Alot of that squad I would want to sell and bring in players that fit my tactical plan. I would only keep Yoro, De Ligt, Dalot, Mazraoui, Ugarte, Mainoo, Fernandes, Mount, Hojlund, Garnacho, Diallo You mentioned Forest, but Nuno has a tactical plan and the players understand what he wants but also any signings fit that tactical approach.

I accept that some fans are like you describe but I know some fans who are passionate and proud of their club, buy club merchandise and try to attend games when they can but cost of ticket, food/drink cost and then travel pushing the overall cost over £100 which is alot considering other non football factors. thanks Den for those genuine words and I appreciated them

Chelsea being linked with Delap now

Very good points. I think Neil Harris would be good here They probably go for Phil Neville or Leighton Baines
