    I mean the entire first choice defence isnt there. Granted, some mistakes were terrible but with better protection comes confidence as well.

    He definitely had a lot of dodgy moments but it’s too early to right him off… He just needs to keep quiet and do his job instead of doing every other matchday interviews

      It was really funny to see him shouting at Maguire in preseason and then make so many mistakes

        People on here are so hung up on that Maguire thing in pre-season, it’s so weird. Both players said there’s no issue and I’d expect my keeper to be demonstrative after a defensive howler.

          One of the things I’ve appreciated about Vicario is he’s been hung out to dry a few times by our defense and he’s made the save and then just got up and cheered himself and got pumped. I’ve never really seen a keeper react that way regularly when he’s been left in a bad spot

          The Maguire thing is absolutely fucking ridiculous. How anything was made of that is crazy.

    Not sure I would even call him a keeper. Giroud looks more impressive in the net than this megadonk.

    I think there should have been a transitory period with de gea and onana on, but probably didn’t have the money to spare. a famously broke club

      Case’s form took a nose dive towards the end of last season - you could make a compilation out of his hopeless lunge tackles because he’s 5 seconds behind the game.

    I never understood why he was valued so highly, I guess now no one knows. This is exactly what he’s always shown.

    When I see him and compare him to Livakovic which we got for under 10 million it makes me very happy :)

    Tifo’s classic recipe of clickbait masquerading as ‘serious analysis’. Surprised more people haven’t caught onto their shtick yet even though I do like some of their presenters.

    Ten Hag using his knowledge of erdevisie players’ skills which worked against erdevise clubs whose names I cant remember, to bring those players to ManU to play against premier league teams with the same strategy seems to be current season’s problem. Just my thinking.

      He did the same thing at Ajax where he brought in a bunch of players from his former club(s) or whom he knows from the league. The only positive stand out was Haller in the end.

      No club should realistically involve this man with scouting.
