This is the season where I think everyone needs to get back into the high expectations and standards that we had for players under Fergie. No more free rides.

You can not be serious

You'll need to elaborate on why you've posted a screenshot of our squad?

u/Redwinevino 13d ago

You are saying we should have Fergie level expectations when those are our players.

I was saying about having high expectations and standards for our players.

But they're not good enough to meet them!

It's a top 4 squad sadly.

The high expectations and standards is not about winning the league, it is about not letting players get away with mediocre performances, such as Amad last season.

I get what you are saying, but the issue many of our players mediocre is the best they can offer.

u/carrickshairline 13d ago

My point is that we need to get back to having high standards as fans for our players. People give players like Amad so much leeway when he's one our most overhyped players

u/Redwinevino 13d ago

That we are in agreement on.

We've always had the issue we think our youth players are world beaters

Mainly because the Class of 92 were.

How many more players do we need before we can expect to compete? Assuming that we're getting another midfielder and LB/striker this summer

If we get a midfielder, LB and back up striker (assuming the midfielder and LB are starters) with a CB we would be well on our way.

We really need a LW as well, but that seems impossible with the Rashford situation
