Official Manchester United Supporters' Thread Part 5

City only have Haaland, so its not totally crazy to only have one proper #9. Not comparing Sesko to Haaland at all but I think its overrated in the current game and thestaggy pointed that out above.

I think what's more concerning is we have the same back 4 as we did under Ten Hag..........

Also at the moment United have an infuriating habit of standing off the opposition toward the end of games and allowing the entire opposition team to come onto them as if to say "break us down if you can" ...... and with the players we have right now that isn't difficult for the opposition to do and they generally manage to do it with ease - the only way for United to actually now undisputedly to win the game is to be more than 2 goals ahead in the last 5 minutes - otherwise you know for a fact that its going to inevitably end in a draw or in extreme cases where they add time for goals scored ......an actual loss for United

This. Completely agree. So damn frustrating!

well then who are the people who are going to score the goals - midfielders and attacking midfielders only do like 7 or 8 per season - the wingers well Rashford in his absolute best season only did 16 in all competitions and he only did it in two seasons in his entire career so far so people think he is a good player in a club that had Christiano Ronaldo banging in 45 in his best season with Rooney and at that time Tevez adding way more than 20 above that - and around 10 to 15 years back if you did not have two players who scored more than 20 in all competitions together with the rest doing the dribs and drabs of 4 and 5 per season you won absolutely nothing

Pep used to always play with a false 9 and then Haaland came in and shattered Peps cr@p and illusions - you still need one or two guys who are proven goalscorers - we had some and we let them go - Lukaku used to score when he was played then Ole stopped playing him and obviously his count dropped and he got critcised maybe because he did not drop back to help defensively - but the Bullschit that United does of scoring one or two and thinking "righto ..... we can defend this" has proven time and time again to be utter nonsense under every manager after Sir Alex

so nope anyone who says strikers are overrated then IMHO you are drinking the wrong Koolaid because who then becomes the goalscorers - SAFs philosophy always was score more than the other team even when they score - nowadays most of our flop managers are thinking more along the lines of "don't lose this game and get sacked" because they set up the team in a bullschit way and you have twats like Jason Wilcox buying the players without caring about any specific managers system he likes to play - if this cr@o continues leave alone the 30 years it took Liverpool to win their next title its gonna take us a 100 years with the current ar5eholes we have owning and running the team in this cant manner before we win number 21
 
No one said anything about not scoring. We have the players for that, Mbuemo, Cunha, Bruno and Sesko are all capable of double figures. Not having more than 1 #9 specialist isn't out of the norm in the league currently.

And even us with only 1 #9 last season still were top 3 in goals scored. City and Arsenal above us had Haaland and for the most part Havertz. And havertz isn't even a classical #9. So the days of Yorke and Cole are long gone, that koolaid needs refeshing:)
