Man United are tedious as fuck. Half a billion to be that vanilla.

£83m in the Championship..hopefully Tuesday night we're talking Salted Caramel with a couple of crispy wafers and a Flake stick thrown in for good measure.

If Bruce sees O'Hare as playing in the position currently occupied by Grealish it is odd indeed that he bemoans Grealish's absence but doesn't even put O'Hare on the bench.  Ditto Green or RHM in the absence of Adomah.  At the very least, once 2-0 down he could have gone shit or bust with them and given them a run out.

 

Green has pretty much been injured most of the season in fairness.

Was he injured on Saturday?  I thought he'd at least been available for selection for a few matches now.

Are the younger players actually any good though?

Home games v Burton were the time to find out. Instead we kept playing the same 11 week after week. Throwing in players who have played little football in months and expecting them to thrive is a bit much to be expecting.

Keep  flogging a dead horse and only use the squad when it is forced upon him.
His limitations are exposed again.

Upset tonight, said in the post match thread, why play the same team that looked flat v Fulham? He should have changed the team.

Definitely picked the wrong side again

Too little pace and guile, too much reliance on an out of form hourihane and Onomah. We need a target man without jack in the team

If you keep picking the same players then fatigue and injuries set in and the players you bring in are not match ready.

The system definitely has to change for the next game. We just do not have the creative quality without Grealish and Adomah to only play one striker.

Cloning. It’s the creative way forward and might just work.

If he uses the injuries as an excuse again it'll be too much to bear.

guess we will see how we stand tonight. could be 4th and 4 points off 2nd if it goes badly. We gambled on Bruce, so we either get the pay off or the booby prize of being still in the championship and half the current 1st team being gone in the summer. I'm not betting either way personally.

Like I said in the post match thread, I didn't like the line up very much. I was expecting Grabban to be out there at least and we've struggled without the creativity of Grealish and Adomah. That said, we've not long come off a 7 match wining run and we've lost 1 in the last 9. There's a lot to get behind Bruce and the team for.
