Genuinely the club has not been in such a bad state since 1974. It took relegation to fix us that time. Beginning to think it might happen again. Owners, execs, coaching staff, support staff, players are all not up to scratch. Need a total clear out.

Still going with the Maguire Martinez pairing. It’s an awful dedensive combination. I would have taken a chance on De Ligt or played Heaven ahead of them. Also Yoro could play CB with Mazroui at full back. I fear the worst

I agree with everything Licha said. However there is something he didn’t say . That he has been terrible this season, that Bruno has been terrible, that Maguire Shaw Dalot have been terrible this seaso. Carrick has been let down by the people at the top for sure but also by his senior players.

We have totally messed up our midfield rebuild and Wilcox should be blamed as well as Carrick. Going forward I think it’s either Bruno or Tielemans as the 10. Baleba or santos as the 6, and Mainoo or Mount as the 8. Not great options but it’s all I can think of to balance midfield a bit

Here’s an idea. Why don’t we never appoint a manager again. Just have a series of former players as interims for a few months. Ole and carrick , Fletcher, Giggs and RVN have had a go. Surely Scholes, Keano and G Neville would be up for a few months. Then mayor Rio & Evra ?

Not commented for a while because I’m hugely disappointed. But I can’t believe people are talking of sacking carrick on the back of 3 bad performances- hull, city and Brighton. Give the man a chance to turn things round. At the very least till Christmas

Disappointed as I am by the failure to strengthen our defence, I am at least glad that we didn’t do any panic last minute buys who we’d stuck with for the next five years. We can buy again in four months time so just have to struggle on at left back for the time being

The performance against Milan was so poor and it knocked me back but the news today that we could soon have Sesko, De Ligt and Baleba is a huge boost. The power of those three will add a complete new dimension to our have and allow Bruno Tielemans Mainoo and Rashy to play the football.

I never thought I’d write this but our ability to control games seems to have disappeared along with Mason Mount. He could be the glue that we need in midfield and yet he can’t stay fit. So that leaves us in a pickle unless we buy quickly.

I’m not going to panic over one poor performance in preseason. It’s galling that it came against Amorim but that doesn’t really matter. However, I still believe we need and will get 3 major signings CM, LB and CB. It’s clear where the failings are in our squad.
