Reddish-Blue

If we are losing to Spurs and Ipswich at home, that's downright pathetic and I would think Maresca would be on the sacking list. If we lose those games, that is the season done.

By the end of the season it'll say: 6th in the Premier League Did not win Conference League Did well in FIFA Club World Cup

We have no one else available, its either Neto/Sancho up front or giving another debut to an academy striker. 😆

We had a good manager for these owners and the group of players in Poch. Leicester fans pretty much summed up Maresca's management skills by saying the guy has no plan B and if his possession style doesn't work, he looks clueless.

Well its either that or fill the gap with Neto/Nkunku who aren't really strikers. Feel like Jackson is at least 2-3 years away from being that game breaker up front.

We're obviously a better team with him in it as he's the only senior striker we have in the first team squad with young Guiu as the reserve option. Would be interesting to see how this team functions with a more experienced option up front.

What about taking out Kellyman's transfer fee? He wasn't worth "£19million".

Could be more than 3 if Arteta wants to make a point...

So basically we let Maatsen go for cheap just to get an injury prone youngster in return? This kid will probably end up on 2-3 loans before being sold to a Championship club, what a waste.

they still have more than enough to hammer us. All they would have to do is get a few set pieces and our defenders/Sanchez would give 1-2 free goals.

We're not going to get Martinez, Isak or Sportings striker. Osimhen would want crazy wages. That leaves, Sesko, David and Delap. We'll probably end up with Delap (he's also ex-City, ticks the box for Maresca).

What bothers me is that we spent money on Felix and then 6 months later he's keen to jump ship and run off to another club and we actually allow it to happen. That just sends the wrong message to any player we buy in the future.

We really should be beating Leicester at home, if we don't get 3 points, it means this group of players aren't ready for the top 4 battle.

Maresca's talent id isn't exactly great, he let Felix/Carney leave in January and now we're stuck watching KDH play conference league games. That would be a horrific transfer. Ramsdale is not an huge upgrade on our current keepers.

I really thought he would kick on after being the game breaker against Bournemouth in the early part of the season. Can see why United were so keen to offload him, doesn't offer a goalscoring threat most of the time.

Lampard just needs a few seasons of consistency, decent manager and should do well in the championship.

I reckon Caicedo finds a role in some of our previous sides as well, may not be the same profile as Essien back in the day but you can see why Liverpool and Arsenal were trying to get him before us. The drop off at GK and CB from previous sides is hilarious though. From the likes of Cech & JT to this current lot 😆

We've spent quite a bit over the years to get this team together. Cucurella, Fofana, Enzo, Caicedo, Neto, Madueke, Mudryk, Nkunku, Palmer weren't exactly cheap buys. We were on track for getting top 4 earlier in the season then we fell on a cliff and we're fighting to get 4th/5th at this rate.

This wouldn't surprise me at all. Southampton's manager will have 1 instruction "Mark Palmer for 90 minutes and watch them pass the ball around for no reason"

What does United's problems have to do with us? Amorim hasn't brought in any key signings yet, the only player they've gone for is Dorgu at LB/RB. The one thing that I like about Amorim is the fact that he is ruthless. Just look at the Rashford situation, he could have easily brought him back into the side to play one of their attacking roles but once he was frozen out, that was it. Compare that to us, we tried to kick Chalobah out of the club and then as soon as January came around, we are begging him to come back and play at CB as we have no-one else available 😆 Also, How is it that we replace Poch with Maresca and we haven't really improved at all, it's still "Palmer and hope for the best"

I said at the time that sinking 250+ million on Enzo, Caicedo, Lavia was a mistake. The club decided that Gallagher wasn't good enough and used him as a cash cow and then we went on to replace him with Lavia who is made of glass and Felix who is now on loan to another club 😄 Felt like alot of the early season games were being played with Poch's tactics in the background, Palmer doing his thing in attack, Jackson taking those 50-50 chances and the likes of Fofana being fit. The more Maresca has been with the side, the more we look like a possession team that doesn't know what to do when we are trailing in a game.

That's what happens when you get a no name manager. Mourinho/Conte/Tuchel would not have put up with rubbish keepers in goal. Seems like thats the reason why Maresca was selected, he wouldn't be able to say no to the board's decisions.

Even when Lavia is back, he'll play 3 games and then go missing for months

Other than Palmer, Caicedo and maybe Cucurella, I don't see many others kicking up a fuss over CL football.

The one they should be selling is that crook Lavia. What a waste, 50 million down the drain for a player that can't even stay fit for 3 games in a row. All the talent to be a class midfielder but zero fitness. We really do know how to find injury prone players, first Fofana, then Lavia, Reece from the academy, RLC from the academy 😆
