Does he realize that a better response would be to stay in the position and not cave to the pressure?

And your solution is sacking the manager that has finally got us playing better and just needs a little finishing touch on the pitch? So that we have to get a new manager and restart the rebuild 6 games into the season? No thanks

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10h

What point are you actually trying to make?

100

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 12h

Literally doesn't change my point at all. It's the manager's job to come up with the tactics to create chances. It's the players' jobs to finish them.

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

No we didn't. We still had the better chances of the two teams in the second half.

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Our xG stats were over double that of United. Every attacking stat was basically heavily in our favor

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

I truly believe we're gonna batter Coventry if we play like that again. Confidence is building, fought back from a man down and a goal down. It's coming

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

They couldn't even get close to Savio when he was dribbling. Big things to come I think

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

The Chelsea one came out later because new ownership took over and identified the payments. I think the City case is taking so long because they have attempted to hinder the investigation and every step. It should have been dealt with quicker though

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Yeah I've got no idea what to expect. The whole thing is just kind of sad. It was obvious what was happening from the very start

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

I don't think it'll be simple, but I think it makes a complete mockery of the league if they don't

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

It's making this season a bit of a farce. The sanctions need to be declared ASAP

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Shaw then stands over Bentancur on the floor and keeps going at him. Bentancur stands up and does the dumb rutting that players do all the time and don't get sent off for. He didn't fling his head at him, it barely had forward momentum. The replays show it. Yet again, the ref and VAR fail

000

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Rewatched the Bentancur red, I'm even more annoyed by red. He put in a hard challenge but literally didn't even touch Shaw. Zero contact. Shaw took exception, sprinted over, and two-hand shoved him to the floor. That is a red card.

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Unless he fundamentally changes how he plays

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I think Marmoush has shown more than Solanke as a 9 so far this season and should have started, but I can guarantee Solanke won't get dropped after scoring. Hopefully it gives him a boost.

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Sorry, I also realize now that this was a genuine question and not whining that he should be sacked unlike a lot of people on here

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Of course you can. He was objectively terrible but also deserves a congratulations for getting that goal in the end

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Exactly. I don't think anyone is saying "wow this is brilliant", but it is very easy to see that we are repeatedly playing good football with just the final piece missing

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

He deserves credit for finally fighting to get on the end of one. Hopefully that gives him the drive to do it more often

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

But dominating games gives your players a chance to win it. We've seen that today. De Zerbi is not the striker and is not the finishing coach. At some point it's on the players

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Finally some fight from Solanke to get on the end of that! Now just do that the rest of the time

000

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Did you not see how many chances we created?

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

And Solanke has played most of his career in the premier league as a striker. He's had multiple golden opportunities. To put that on the coach is just absurd

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

We've created so many chances we could have been off in the distance. You want him to run on the field and kick the ball in for Solanke?

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

How do we get the only red there? Shaw has literally run over and pushed him first. Fuck off Stuart Atwell

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Solanke on for a full 90? With this absolute steaming turd of a performance?

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

This is what happens when you refuse to make a change in the 9

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Because our number 9 is wandering around outside the box somewhere

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

No not that sub. There's a literal passenger on the field and we take off Kudus

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Can we make a sub or two please?

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I feel like I'm piling on at this point, but Solanke literally didn't even jump to challenge Maguire for that goal line header

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I know you're talking about Richarlison, but we also have Marmoush sitting there

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Just bring on Marmoush. This has gone on long enough

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

And that miss is why...

000

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

He looked like he was jogging. I really think he doesn't want to be in a position to get chances

100

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I think RDZ has painted himself into a corner with Solanke today. Picking him to start AND making him captain seems like he's really trying to get some kind of confidence into Solanke. You can't then take him off at halftime even though he's basically half a player today

000

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

He seems to be losing every physical battle that he's in. Just getting bullied by Maguire and Martinez

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

That's a shame, thought it might be a new Bergvall and Gray arc

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I assume this is actually not related to the tottenham game?

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

The commentators on Peacock are so desperate for United to score so they can get back on the "Tottenham in crisis" narrative.

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I genuinely don't think he gets in positions to actually be fed. I feel like he's always been a striker that prefers to not actually get chances and would rather set them up for someone else

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Not to pile on Solanke, but I just don't think he has the hunger to score goals that top strikers need. The best strikers will do anything to fight for the ball in the box. He's more interested in dropping off and playing passes

000

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Lol. Nice to get an incredibly soft yellow 3 minutes in

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

One goal, but we spend the whole match going "United are there for the taking, what the hell are we doing?"

000

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

It's like we strengthened some areas we were really lacking in, but deliberately weakened ourselves elsewhere to make up for it

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

We do have a habit of starting strong!

000

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I said it a month ago, but I'm getting strong "club signing" vibes from that whole situation

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Don't worry, Udogie will play sweeper from LB....

JB @jbennis.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

How is the international break still going on?
