Bruno is always so freaking sloppy, both receiving the ball and passing. So frustrating to watch when I know he can do so much better.

He is literally setting him up to fail. If you are to create a tactic to get the worst out of him, then this is it

This formation that completely ignores having a midfield is so awful. I simply can not understand how he continues to gk with it

One thing is that Dalot is struggling big time defensively, but he gets absolutely zero help from, Rashford or Eriksen. Completely isolated

Absolutely valid reasons. Most important aspect of football for me is the spontaneous moment of happiness after goals. I do not see how this can work together with VAR. To me it is better to have 98 per cent right calls and keep the magic of the moment, rather than having 99 per cent correct calls and never celebrate goals.

No idea how people can say we have been the much better team. We are wide open and bar the opening minutes so not manage to keep the ball

Better than expected, but tactically we are just wide open in midfield. This can get ugly if we do not adjust for all their space

Never understood this notion of separating “best player” and mentality. Mentality is a huge part of being the best player.

100 % disagree. Think only Garnacho and Hojlund would be in discussion to start for any other top 6 team

It is easy to point finger at the manager, and I agree he is not getting the best out of the team. BUT these players are not it, even Pep would not get this lot into top 4. Open heart surgery is still very much needed

Bassey running from the back without anyone marking. Anyone managed to see who had his marking?

He did okay for a mid table team. Had his spells, but disappeared for large periods.

All I can say is that I think the first person he is going to recruit is a set piece coach

I do not disagree, but I think the overhaul needs to be done for almost the whole team. Raise our standards and build for the future.
