[@karthikkumar3733]

What did the heartbeat has done for the whole season and this bald fraud was the one who was benching amad for Antony and amad is far better than garnacho also why don't you mention that

[@MichaelEnright-gk6yc]

Garnacho is allright. Bruno can do a whole season missing only a couple of games. He just needs good player's to pass to and score goals. Amad is another great . The younguns are delivering not just taking up space like many .

[@crysflake]

His service to goals ratio must be higher than most strikers in the league

[@richardharris5336]

There was that purple patch he had at the beginning of the year, I think it (no surprise) coincided with Shaw (being fit) and Rashford playing a bit better, eg some service from the left, and Garnacho having a productive run on the right, combining with Dalot. It ain't much to ask is it. It was just very average sort of service across several games. Most of the time he's just getting no service, as you say. I thought Andy Cole's point about him trying to win physical battles unnecessarily was spot on though, hopefully he learns from this for next season.

[@JoneZ2610]

If amad and amrabat does not start in the final no matter the result there needs to be change.

Not to mention we could of also got sabaizter for 20 million. We've had no left back since January and we've had Alvarado Fernandez on loan playing really well at benfica surely it was worth a re call. In a season of up and downs we've had some positives in terms of the youth we've got a core that could be magical and theres more to come. But decision making has cost us alot of points.

He did okay tonight but he is over his prime so we need to get a replacement for him. Also he will get injured more often at his age. I believe I can win a sprint duel running backwards against Casemiro.

@@diazclemenza3591 Hahaha from last seasons Pod cast I had a feeling Casemiro was supposed to play a little more upfront(8/6) with Bruno in 8, and mount in 10 (switching with Eriksen). Amrabat covering the CDM role however things got tight for him this season and wasn't able to play well. But TenHag surely wants two 8's that is why he always needs defenders that can pass the ball so well upfront to avoid hanging around his half.

[@OARotifa]

What many fail to see in ETH is, he continues to give the wrong player time to continue to misbehave, such that when he fields the right one, u will all have the breath of fresh air we are all having now. He did it with Maguire, played him when we all needed him out, and then boom! He changed him, collected the captain’s band from him and until Maguire stepped up his game, he did it with some other players… yes with Anthony, he kept on playing him for the longest, but now, he has started Amad twice. Say good bye to Anthony gradually. And also say good bye to Rashford gradually… it’s not in the coach most times, but these guys refused to step up. The ones that want to play, we can see them, Mainoo, Garnacho, Amad, Rasmus, the Butcher, and maybe Amrabat. Bruno of course is a different breed. I Believe in the coach, we aren’t just patient enough with him in my opinion. Allow him make his mistakes, he’s human, he’s getting to know his club, and his boys… none of those people they they want to replace him with can… give him time 2 more seasons, in fact I will say, go with him for 5.. then u see a SAF time back. But we are in a hurry to get back up… we are totally down and there, u will start all over again. Forget the good years of SAF, use them as motivations to get back up.

Nice to see some CHANGE of tactics and personnel. Amad - at last it is clearer! Bruno - closest to world class in the squad. But I feel sorry for Amrabat, as only now - far too late in the season - is his value becoming apparent (though he might have given that ghost penalty away. Phew!) I always thought that he simply needed the confidence of a bit of a run in his correct position, in this club - the biggest that has ever signed him. Two more games and he's gone... Ho hum. But, anyway, UTD still looked like a City side would dismember them without too much trouble, if they are really in the mood. So, the last game vs intelligent passers, Brighton - who blew UTD away at OT, remember? - is really an audition for this "New Look".
