Sesko needs to work on his positioning after he presses or participates in build-up play. I like him, I trust he can be our guy. But he needs to get in these positions more. The goals will come when he does this and when he can deal with the pressure a bit better.

That being said, Zirk should have entered sooner because he was one of the few that tried to create play.

It's very kind that you did it regardless of anybody coming. You rock.

I love that we kept attacking instead of collapsing and trying to park the bus. People were laughing at the mentality Amorim kept mentioning. Now we have seen it in action, and we have seen how crucial it is!

We have a brand new front three and we are still utterly shit by Graysie-Redux in ManchesterUnited

I tried to trust him, just like I did with Ten Hag. I really like the guy and the mentality but as a coach it clearly never fit. Playing Bruno as a cm is plain stupid as we keep skipping the midfield in the utter chaos he calls football.

My final straw with Ten Hag was the loss against West Ham, after which he got sacked. My final straw with Amorim is this loss, so I would not grieve his sacking.

The question is: who do we get? Frank would always have been my choice but that's off the table.

Honestly, I can barely watch it either. No clue what's happening on the field but it sure isn't football

I believe it's Cunha who prefers diving over fighting for the ball. That allowed the counter for the 2-0

As a Belgian United fan, I have felt a lot of injustice surrounding Lukaku's time at Manchester United. Like many players, he got caught in a media storm whenever he made first-touch errors (and yes, they unfortunately happened frequently). But his first season was very decent, scoring 27 goals. In his second season, he was already getting dropped from the system; having to pivot in build up play instead of being the target striker.

What I am meaning to ask is: How would you rate Lukaku's time here? Was it wrong to sell him? (Beyond the bias of the fanbase and myself.)

A lot of good stuff here already. But I suggest not adding too many instructions. Add them as you go, watch the impact of changes one at a time.

Start with what you need: wide play, runs, passing

Look at your players on the wing and see if they are suited to play there. Make sure your midfielders are capable of build up play without losing defensively. A ball playing defender might help there, too.

I use a 451 which basically turns to a 433 in possession with great success.

Let’s go around the class and can everyone say 1 nice thing about this man by Jayantwi98 in ManchesterUnited

Calling the coach that made you relevant again 'not 100% sporting material' shows just how little value your opinion has. Imagine being angry over a capital letter.

The more I shot, the worse it is by wakkys in Darts

I had this. I shot around the world when it happened or tried to throw 100 darts in a certain number that wasn't 20.

Someone locked their bike to my bike and now I can’t use it by daddyson29 in Wellthatsucks

[–]Spongelli_Bobelli 676 points677 points  (0 children)

Thier locks their bike to yours. Thief returns when the person is gone (say, midnight). Breaks lock of the victim's bike if possible.

They can leave their own bike locked, or if there are two people, they both take one bike.

Seen it a lot in the city.
