These false positives are as embarrassing as the team and manager.

People said Rashford being dropped was going to be a positive. We have lost 3-0 at home in 2 of the 3 games he was dropped in. Newcastle and today. 😂

People assume we will be better without Bruno n Rashford. The reality is we are often worse.

its ok we go this. Maguire will be playing

Even Darwin Nunez will resemble a top class striker next weekend. Can't hit a barn door against anyone else but Dr Hag is coming with a cure.

The only good away performance against a decent team has been Galatasaray away and the manager was suspended

A broken clock is right twice a day....

Not to worry though. We will get his confidence back up next weekend I have no doubts.

There seems to be a feeling amongst United fans tonight that the "captain" intentionally picked up that yellow card today so he won't be part of the massacre next Sunday at Anfield.

7 goals and 6 assists so far. Should be double goals with the chances he's had but it will come. Should improve on the 14 goals and 4 assists he got last season but needs to be getting closer to 30. I'm confident he'll do that.

At least the game isn't at OT. United eating 0-3 home losses for breakfast.

Bruno is many things, but not a coward.

He's nowhere near the levels of great Liverpool strikers of the last 30 years if you are honest with yourself though.

Torres, Suarez, Owen, Fowler are in a different league to him for me. He just seems so erratic. As I said though he might get 2 or 3 next weekend. Won't massively change my mind on him though.

I'd agree, hes erratic and I am hoping he improves, hes young so has time....but, he has to do it quickly.

He's still young, still raw but bags of potential. Not everything or everyone has to be Messi or CR7 level.

If our forwards had his stats this season we would be better than where we are now.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Not a great science that, is it? We could easily point to some of our better performances having not featuring Rashford; Chelsea, Galatasary away etc...

The reality is we don't have a large sample size of Rashford and/or Bruno not being in the team to really say how well we'd do. Also, we don't really have a enough strength in depth to drop them and feel confident that the replacements would represent much of an upgrade.

Both players cause us issues, but the bigger issue is that we don't really have any better options right now.

Liverpool don't really play to Darwins strengths but there's always effort and a player there.
7 and 6 are decent numbers this season so far. There's only a few players in the league with better assist stats, he does create chaos.
He has the same Pl stats this year as city's alvarez and if he played more 90s he def have more goals.
Def puts in more effort than 90% of the United team.

Darwin is fun to watch and leaves his all on the field which is why fans love him. Not even in the top 10 best Liverpool strikers in the PL era though.

He has the tools just not the brain…

United have always played more cohesively without Rashford in the starting line-up. He's just not good enough as a starter full-stop. Never has been, never will be.

Not entirely convinced that fernandes is anything like that level of an issue.

I do worry that, if he has any sense of ambition, he will just walk away from the club after being asked too often to carry so many deadbeats around him. Particularly as his career-age is at the point it currently is

The dopey 'antis' will probably get their poorly thought through objective realised, but just not in the way they expect.

Silly people

Really? Throwing himself down and rolling around at the slightest touch would suggest that he's a coward. Not to mention all the antics he does.

I'd play two holding midfielders and put McT in the no. 10 slot.

It's a big ask though of Kobbie Mainoo if he's one of the two (and I think he'd have to be, with Amrabat).

Personally I'd start Rashford for this one, out on the left.

Also, AWB should return.

Agreed on the last point about AWB returning. Dalot is certainly the biggest cheerleader on the team not much of a footballer.

I struggle to think of any striker who is clearly very hot and miss with their finishing, actually improving significantly and become more deadly. Usually it goes the other way.

Strikers are usually natural great finishers who need to add other bits to their games, not the other way around.
