Haven’t heard any “ten Hag out” voices yet, thankfully, but when do people start blaming him?

Yeah, injuries are bad, but that happens to all clubs. Are they trying too hard and forgetting the fundamentals, especially at defending? Lack of effort?

Why not put in the young guys? They’ll definitely give the required effort to impress.

I don’t know, I’m just pissed at my team.

    I think Dalot can play LB so with Lindelof at RB that would’ve freed Amrabat to push back into midfield, but Ten Hag seems hesitant to push Lindelof to the flanks. I guess he was rightly worried about Zaha.

      yeah it’s not like Lindelof is much better as a LB/RB so it’s basically pick your poison and tbf again, Casemiro does score goals unlike a lot of other players.

        Was thinking a Bruno/Case/Amrabat or Mount/Case/Amrabat midfield would stop us getting carved like swiss cheese and free up Casemiro’s defensive responsibilities a bit as like you said he’s decent at scoring goals. But EtH seems deadset on having two creative midfielders, both of whom can’t defend, which I don’t think always works or is necessary. I think trying to shoehorn Mount and Bruno in the middle is causing more imbalance than our defensive woes.

        That’s why Hannibal has started getting time, because he’s an attacking midfielder who is also a workhorse. I think when you play with two creators, at least one needs to be covering every blade of grass.
