Unfortunately Rasmus is not good enough for utd , we need someone who turns half chances into goals, someone who makes their own chances as well, look at all class strikers that have played in crap teams they tend to be unstopable or unplayable in some form or another, he just has'nt got anything like that he misses the chances he gets or falls over, another one of ten bobs failures for me stick him on the for sale list.

You might be right ultimately, but at the moment you’re not. We don’t know how he will pan out, because he’s barely been given the ball this year. When he’s had a run in the side with players who actually pass the ball to him / create chances for him then we’ll pass judgement. Until then I’d worry about a lot of other areas first. brake fader said:

ks.Rasmus deserves more time of course, and I acknowledge the fact other posters have made around the lack of service etc. Let's see what he can do in a proper system, with a proper pre season behind him - we shouldn't forget he came to us injured.
I do have concerns that I don't see a specific stand out attribute from him (he's not massively technical, he doesn't hold the ball up great, he doesn't use blistering pace to burst past opponents, he doesn't bully defenders in the air, he doesn't drop deep and ping 40 yards passes, he doesn't dribble past 4 people etc etc) , but again maybe whatever his thing is is being hidden by the current system.

You’re going to have to get used to us buying prospects moving forward. SJR has already said as much. I find it odd that you have already decided that he is not good enough. A young 21 yr old striker, on his first season in the prem, in a struggling side, having to lead the line because we have no other options.
I agree we need another striker in the summer, but to write him off already is laughable.
He just needs better service. He runs all game, every game, puts in a massive shift (unlike many of his teammates this season) and shows considerable potential. His head never seems to drop, despite the lack of any recognisable system in that team in the final third.
I think it’s on the manager and the coaching.
Either EtH is telling the wingers to dribble and not pass to him, or he’s telling them to give him decent service and they’re not listening to him. Both scenarios are pretty damning for that manager.
I can’t understand what their tactics are in the final third, ever, and would love for you guys to enlighten me as to what they are.

The only discernible tactic is to win the ball high up , can’t see any pattern in our attacks ,give it to a forward and see what they do it looks like .I think it’s on the manager and the coaching.

Not great overall

The under 18s completed a treble the other night .Hopefully a few of these lads will make it through to the first team in the near future .
Yeah that's great, congratulations to them and promising for the future indeed. The women's team lifted the FA Cup on the weekend too, so lots to be happy about around the club, it's a shame for them the end of season awards were cancelled. Just the senior mens team letting the side down a bit - although it can still be recovered slightly with a result against City. AWB going (if someone wants him) makes sense, he's not had a great season & isn't next year his last under contract? Better to get something now than nothing then. A sign of smarter decisions being made.

Sounds like it all went off in the Spuds thread last night! Glad we're st and out of all that 
Fire sale incoming for us this summer with Antony, AWB and Eriksen first on the plank by the sounds of it..
I saw the rumour on twitter that he might be off, but has 1yr left on his deal? t and out of all that Fire sale incoming for us this summer with Antony, AWB and Eriksen first on the plank by the sounds of it..
He is very limited with the ball at his feet, but is a good defensive right back. If we want to progress as a team, then he is defiantly one that will need to go.

I was out with a Spurs supporting mate and we went to the local official supporters bar. Plenty in there cheering their team on, but no real upset when they lost. A few Marcy faced Arsenal fans there towards the end. t and out of all that Fire sale incoming for us this summer with Antony, AWB and Eriksen first on the plank by the sounds of it..
