Some poor decision and awful set piece defending again.

Need new defenders and a striker desperately

Which when you think about it is crazy right? You guys spent what £90–100M on 2 new CBs in the summer. Maguire’s future seemed uncertain but now he’s almost got to stay with Evans going to leave / retire and Martinez struggling so much.

Let’s be real you guys need at least 1 CB (maybe 2 if there’s nobody in the academy who can start to step in to the squad next year). You need a LWB. 2 CMs with Eriksen going and Casemiro likely to move on. You may need a new #10 for one of those spots and a new striker. In fact 2 if Rashford leaves and you move on from Zirkzee as you’ll have no depth.
 
All good teams a have a great spine we`ve not had it for ages, poor recruitment has left us in this position.

It’s always like this we plug a couple of holes then 3 or 4 new ones appear. Mainly because we have bought so badly in the past we don’t fix problems so within 2 years those players become problems. See Mount, Casemiro and Eriksen.

The defenders we signed last summer all look fine.

There’s a massive lack of quality in that squad we are to reliant on kids.
 
I think we have the best collective bunch of players around the youth set ups in many many years, so I’m hopeful if we can finally get the full time squad right we will be able to supplement with some really talented young guys.

It’s still sad after so many transfer windows, I could still only name a handful of players I would be against selling. 80% of the squad I wouldn’t be sad to see leave.
 
What you saw in Bournemouth was a team of relative unknowns that were well organised played as team and ran there bollocks off. We need some of that going forward.

Took them a few months under that manager to get it going last season but it’s really come good for them.
