Not only the defensive problem, their front 3 decline a lot too. Wijnaldum departure on next season might impact them even more if they didn't buy replacement. Thiago is not suited for their playstyle as i see.

rumours flying around that we going for Sancho, but i think that's a smokescreen for the purchase of CB and CM.

If Diallo is ready to play next season, i think Ole won't spend that money on RW anymore.

Unless OGS willing to adapt more tactical plan instead of counter attack only, or else VDB will never fit into this team.

Let me tell u what, VDB will be a very nice fit in Man City. Bcuz he fit their style, quick passing, tiki taka, running to beat offside trap.

While in here, I can't believe fans are actually blaming him for making quick passing. Criticize him for not daring to take the ball. Wtf is that. Just bcuz he make quick passing, that means he is not daring to take the ball? So Rashford and James, always want to take ball himself and run into opponent players considered good? That is just style difference man, they are so much advantange and benefits for making quick passing, and I don't even wanna talk about it, since those haters won't even appreciate it.

After all, the conclusion is, he is not an AM, nor a DM. He will be best fit in 433 formation, LCM or RCM. Thus yes, he is not fit into this team. Unless OGS start to let him try on RM against bus parking team, may be still have some chance.

I am so disappointed fans here saying he is a bad / mediocre player just bcuz OGS does not know how to utilize him. I hope he will leave the club and go somewhere else and prove how wrong those people are.

shaw play badly today. too many mistakes already

Fred cant defend and cant even made simple pass

Atleast VDB able to play simple pass

What is Fred? Absolutely abysmal

Ofcourse VDB with limited play we need quick to judge him poor

Give him this kind game with 1st eleven I do believe he could do more than Fred

Dean Henderson is not there yet for now.. for a team with ambition to win the league, Dean Henderson is not the answer..

just keep both De Gea and Henderson.. let them compete.. focus on CDM and CB first

Bissouma boleh?

5 points and 4 goals above a poor underperform Liverpoo.. should have been more

This season Spanish teams are weak. Hope we can steam rolling them

Wth 40 unsaved. Put me on goal no difference lol. Villareal did their job by shooting on target. It's really rare to see 5/5 penalties in let alone 10/10. All players did the job including ole subbing the highest chance of players scoring. Obviously ddg didn't practice shooting with his lame attempt. But his failure of nowhere near of stopping annoyed me more. No subbing Dean cause no balls. Hope ole will learn this in future.

Oleout bandwagon stronger than ever lol. I agree he make poor subs yesterday. But still feel he is the man to take us forward as I can't see any other suitable manager out there. Zidane conte mostly like jm style. Win but team is wrecked after leaving. And win also not guaranteed.

If I am ole, I will leave rashford on too for complete 90. It's 50/50 gamble. Either he sux or create magic. This is partly there's no other suitable backup. If martial available I will sub Rashford very early. James and vdb, I rather hope magic from Rashford since it's 50/50 gamble. Taking out greenwood I dun agree though.

The regret and flaw is we didn't really go for it. But it's easy to say that after losing. If we really all out and kena trashed on counter, then ppl will say tactical inept again, no patience. Going to penalty and hitting 10 usually win you the game. First 11 starter, I think all agree that's the best we can start.

The one that really play for penalty is villareal. Never looks like wanting to win in 90. They got the plan and they did their job with superb penalty taking practise.
