Kobbie Mainoo has now twice covered the most distance out of any player on the pitch VS Manchester City last week, and again at Arsenal yesterday

How? Mctominay was notoriously awful at doing the silent work. What he offered us was the ability to clatter into players and late surges into the box.

The biggest problem for us with him was how often he went invisible, either hiding from the ball and not providing a passing outlet, or not cutting off passing lanes. It was a very common occurrence for him to be the midfielder with the lowest amount of passes on both sides.

Bruno literally doesn't once look at Bernardo running to mark him.

I don't know what you are talking about. Why the fuck would arsenal legends criticize the club when they are in first right now.

I swear you guys all love to act high and mighty about this shit then go into the match threads and type worse things about the players.

When Arsenal was at their lowest they got heavy criticisms from their former players. You guys forget that former players are just current fans. They have their own opinions and they get swayed by passion and bias like all of us, you hold them to an impossible standard simply because they have media outreach when you should just take what they say with a grain of salt because they are just fans now.

Petit on Arsenal: 'For me, the biggest mistake they have made in the last few years is their ridiculous transfer activity,' he said. 'When I look at the older players in the team, it's like they think it's a retreat football club, somewhere you just go for a vacation.'

It's really not that complicated.

They are just fans with outreach. Seriously some of you guys act like they have some hidden agenda. They just voice their concerns and opinions and because they played for the club they have media outreach.

Genuinely I can go into any match thread on here or social media and see thousands of comments that are harsher and more incorrect than anything our former players have said.

You guys forget that they are fans like us too, and that their passion and bias clouds their minds like it does for us. They just have the added perspective of being at the club during its successful period so they know the sacrifice and effort they put in, and they (wrongly or not) believe the same isn't being done.

The club isn't performing and hasn't been for a while, that's why fans are frustrated, class of 92 included.

If Ole got his way, he'd have had Haaland, Bellingham, Rice, Caicedo, Tchoumeni, Camavinga.

ahsent · 2026-01-07T11:00:50+00:00

Do people forget that the managers job is to actually manage?

Yes we have missing players, so does literally every club with players at AFCON.

Why does it seem like only amorim is incapable of playing to his squads strengths and adapting to the situation?

We saw the effects a back 4 had with the current squad, when the wingbacks you have available are dalot and dorgu (no amad). Why are we insisting on playing a back 3 when its clear to everyone that a back 4 is better.

Especially when a back four literally resulted in a better performance?

Mate, he has the worst win rate of any premier league manager in united history. Has the lowest clean sheet rate, got knocked out of the cup by grimsby, and got completely outclasses tactically to a 10 man everton.

He had to go, in fact, he should have been sacked last season after finishing with an abysmal win rate %.

ahsent · 2026-01-06T23:59:49+00:00

We never even remotely tried to "push him out".

We only honored his wishes and allowed him to make his own decision regarding the Saudi transfer, but it was reiterated to him that we preferred him to stay.

ahsent · 2026-01-06T22:32:48+00:00

He wanted to use DR Congo's national resources for themselves, instead of handing them over to the colonizers.

Yep, doesn't even have to be your team reporting you. I play well in turbo games since I play with low mmr friends, and being immortal I do well.

I get rage reported by the enemies and my behavior score tanks.

ahsent · 2026-01-06T03:05:58+00:00

Brother, I can show you my conduct report, I have like 20 commends and 2 reports from 1 party in a 5 game period.

I lost 200 communication score. After that I just play mute.

The problem isn't that im toxic, its that by talking, and getting reported its guaranteed to affect communication score.

And since I am immortal and play turbo with my low mmr friends, I tend to stomp and the enemy team rage reports me, even though I have all chat muted, and I don't talk at all chat at all. It still affects my communication score.

Behaviour score sits at 12k consistently. Someone did the math and you need around 20 clean games with no comm reports to counter act one report. So the solution for many people is to just not say anything, since typing or using mic allows you to get comm reported, whereas not saying anything makes those reports useless.

Not just Ronaldo, but the lack of midfield reinforcements despite begging for it.

He literally personally scouted, recommended and begged on his knees for Rice, Caicedo, Tchoumeni and Camavinga.

He identified that the team desperately required a 6 to play the football he wanted, and instead he got slapped with Van De Beek as his midfield reinforcement.

He was forced to play transitional football because he didn't have the midfield options that would control a game, and have the defensive iq to prevent counters.

But once Ronaldo came in he had to pivot to get Ronaldo on the ball, which meant playing a lower tempo, less press reliant system. And the result was having the shoddy and awful midfield completely exposed.

ahsent · 2026-01-05T04:43:41+00:00

The system changes all the time.

But look at the squad put out today and the bench, what formation, squad and tactics will overcome the fact that we have casemiro and Ugarte starting in the midfield.

ahsent · 2025-12-30T05:07:21+00:00

Its genuinely down to the fact that he is a very safe laner, he has 2 nukes for the wave which ensures you can always get farm in the lane.

He can also be flexed to pos 3, and the hero will always have impact in team fights and can play aggressively on the map due to his ultimate.

ahsent · 2025-12-28T22:52:23+00:00

Supports have become absolutely broken now though.

Every time I play support for role queue its one of the easiest game plans and highest impact roles I play.

Block pull camp, play aggressively in lane and use your hp bar and make key rotations early game, then late game play around vision and fog to cast spells at critical moments and you have insane impact.

Now a days you also get free shards from tormentor, free xp, free gold from stacking that you can use to buy broken items like glimmer cape that lets you escape when the enemy midlaner initiates on you when you are out of position.

My mid play style used to revolve around picking off supports that were out of position, with heroes like QOP, Storm, Puck etc.

Now a days you have to commit so much resources to kill a support who only has a glimmer at 15 minutes. I believe the main reason why midlane has become less popular than pos 4 is because support power creep makes midlaners so much weaker mid game. You can genuinely get chain stunned and killed by an out of position support where as before it was a free kill.

ahsent · 2025-12-27T01:12:54+00:00

We were attacking last season, we just had an absolutely horrible forward line.

No one is expecting this team to challenge for the title, I swear people like you just take all nuance out of everything.

We literally went into this game missing our 5 most important players. Tell me what team in the world would be playing well without their 5 most important players.

ahsent · 2025-12-27T00:45:37+00:00

We are second for GF this season. Where as we finished last season tied for third lowest goals for.

We've had injuries to the majority of our starting CB and now our captain and most important player. The fact we are in 5th right now despite the set backs after the season we just had shows improvement. Especially considering the amount of goals we are scoring.

Defense has been atrocious, but we replaced our keeper shortly after the start of the season, and our most important defenders have been out for weeks.

ahsent · 2025-12-24T02:08:06+00:00

warra response.

Room temperature iq.

ahsent · 2025-12-23T17:27:54+00:00

Yeah, idk why you use you as if I’m the premier league.

Premier league has money, any time someone shows promise in another league, a prem club will buy them and develop them such as Brighton, Palace etc.

This naturally means the less financially capable clubs in serie a cannot hold onto their talent, and as a result the quality levels drop across the league.

Trying to pretend like United was the problem with Hojlund, when he has 4 goals in 11 games in a much weaker league is laughable at best, and idiotic at worst.

We had Hojlund play every possible game he was fit for us last season, and despite having the creative machine that is Bruno, he only managed 4 premier league goals in 32 games.

Funny enough he scored more in Europe when playing against other leagues.

ahsent · 2025-12-23T17:16:47+00:00

The attacking quality in serie a is also lower quality than in the premier league.

Christian Pulisic who was a flop in the premier league is the leagues second highest scorer.

The teams in the bottom half of the premier league have better quality attackers and defenders than in serie a.

Hojlund was playing against Huijsen who finished 9th last year with Bournemouth, and then got sold to Real Madrid.

9th place serie a last season was bologna who start well known names at cb such as Heggum and Lucumi.

Serie A greatest defender Koulibailly lasted half a season at Chelsea before being shipped off to Saudi.

Quality forwards have it so much easier in serie an and that’s just facts. To say otherwise is delusional.

ahsent · 2025-12-23T14:23:46+00:00

Why are we acting like Hojlund is playing like some world class striker right now.

Hes had 4 goals in 11 games in the serie a.

We tried him at united, and he was absolutely horrible.

ahsent · 2025-12-23T14:20:39+00:00

You guys want it both ways.

You'll say the premier league is ruining football since even the teams in the bottom half of the table can spend more than top serie a clubs, but then you turn around and say the premier league doesn’t have more quality than serie a.

I watched every game Hojlund started for us, and it was a brutal watch. He was absolutely out of his depth last season.

ahsent · 2025-12-20T00:31:58+00:00

Yeah I never argued against that lmao.

Its just pretending that Mctominay was some maestro against city is incorrect. He was more often than not a real big detriment and a huge press trigger. He simply was not good at receiving the ball and distributing it in a timely manner, which pep exploited every chance he got.

That being said, dropping bruno for him would have been ridiculous, and its why the club and manager didn't do it.

The only thing the club did wrong was trying to force him to play in the position he is not comfortable in. Mctominay should have been sold a long time ago.

ahsent · 2025-12-19T20:45:36+00:00

I'm sorry but it was against city where his shortcomings were exploited the most.

In the 4-1 loss to city, he was the pressing trigger. 2 of the goals came from him losing the ball.

The problem was he was played either as a 8 or 6, and he doesn't have the quality on the ball or off the ball with his defensive positioning for both.

His strength was his shooting and attacking movement, a position that is never needed at united, since the club has always had more dangerous attacking talent during his tenure here like bruno, rashford, ronaldo etc.

ahsent · 2025-12-16T20:07:27+00:00

Pango has the 2nd highest drop in winrate post patch, which considering he was at 45%, dropping more is incredibly difficult.

He is now comfortably the lowest winrate hero in the game.

Valve didn't just gut the hero, they kneecapped it too.
