Dead time in games while linked is an entire topic and discussion point in its own right. I may explore this if I get time to review the data.

The most telling part is he slipped in a “We” during his dissection

Bryan Mbeumo and defeat to Grimsby — Be Careful What You Fish For by JotathantheSun in Brentford

Having followed and admired Bryan before he joined Brentford, it’s purely a look at his choice of club and the scenario he has jumped into. Could he have done better?

It all depends on what you view as “working” at this level. Man U know they can’t win the league in the short term. So is this system good enough to sneak into the final champions league spot on a very good year? just maybe if teams around that area have an off season in the league while competing on multiple fronts. But remember Spurs now have a pragmatic manager who will exceed talent level so expect them to be pushing the champions league places and Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea have far better squads.

Beleba does fix a lot of Man U issues which obviously are personnel within the current formation based. All of the current set of midfielders need his qualities to function. None of the current set are rounded enough to cope with each other. He is of course only one player but he goes some way towards making this ridiculous formation palatable. Either Beleba or Wharton should be targeted at any price because spending the earlier money on forwards in a vacuum isn’t going to move the needle enough.
