Watched the Carrick interview just there and he looks and sounds like a beaten man. Sorry to see it from a man who has done so much for us.
Having said that can't listen to Neville criticise him, a man who was a disaster at Valencia and ran back to an easy number in a television studio. He has no right to slag off a manager.
20 Sep 2026 20:02:24
Neville realised he not cut out to be a manager and picked a job as a pundit becuase he was good at it. If only carrick had made that realisation of his own after boro

Dalot and Rashford have to be dropped. No coincidence that our running stats are so far down again now he's back.
If we have to keep him then he should be sub until he's prooved himself.
I'd give Amass a run, at least he'll put the effort in. Yoro right back. Cunha left, Lacey right and Mbuemo up top until Sesko fit.
Hopefully Baleba will hit the ground running, it's a big ask though.
What a thoroughly disappointing start to the season. We look way off it.
I know it's not all down to Carrick but starting to lose confidence that he's capable of sorting this s**t show out.
20 Sep 2026 19:06:58
Dalot is crap on a weekly basis yet he's there the next week. Pathetic that a club like ours can reward someone as poor as him and be in a position where we don't have alternatives.
20 Sep 2026 18:37:00
Some will disagree but Carrick has to go now, before it's too late.
The team is so slow and lazy. Not surprising really as carrick doesn't come across as someone that can motivate anybody.
They need to act fast before its too late. Much more of this and the season will already be over.
I said in the chat during the game, if it was me, I'd go and get Emery from Villa.
The club won't of course. They will stick with Mr Dull until Christmas and then appoint who ever is cheap and won't argue with the board.
20 Sep 2026 19:05:30
We won't do that we've already shown we aren't decisive. Instead we will keep him then prob lose to spurs and a few others immediately after the break. We will then limp to January when we will already be out of the UCL and hovering near the bottom of the table then sack carrick and bring in another interim ex club legend (RVN).
We will then promise big changes, a thorough review and hiring process to get the best in the summer, oh yeah and there will be a squad overhaul which we will be planning for months. Sound familiar .

As the revolving doors of managers is already a joke, let's give it to Mark Goldbridge as he knows best. Though his Disney contract my clash with the Amazon filming.
20 Sep 2026 18:23:27
Carrick maintaining his 1pt per game output.
His substitutions were mind boggling.
Carrick at the wheel!
20 Sep 2026 18:36:26
I'd have liked to have seen Lacey, but what else would you have done?
20 Sep 2026 19:08:23
Switch Rashford or Mbuemo upfront in first half.
Cunha receiving ball in wide positions so he can run at people
More bodies getting into the box and attacking the ball properly.
More urgency and effort from players.
Bringing an extra midfielder into the middle, sacrificing either rashford or Mbuemo.
Bring on lacy, he is a live wire and can change a game. Bring on Dorgu earlier for Shaw who is pedestrian at left back - could keep Shaw at LCB in place of Martinez if that is preferred.
20 Sep 2026 19:10:09
I don't know, but after looking tepid in the first half, going behind in the second, and looking completely benefit of attacking threat, I might not have waited until the 77th minute to do something.
20 Sep 2026 19:20:26
I'd have chucked Baleba in to allow the other mods to get higher and mix the formation up a bit.
Without a proper striker (who'd have thought we needed one.) they seem to not know who to pass that final ball to.
Tough bench to look at for inspiration though.
20 Sep 2026 18:14:36
Seen this performance too many times for my liking. We all know the story. Those performances just before the manager got sacked. I'll be very surprised if Carrick is in the dugout v Tottenham.
20 Sep 2026 18:21:41
Utd - spurs shaping up to be a real 6 pointer.
20 Sep 2026 18:22:51
I think thag goal saves him a bit longer unfortunately.
20 Sep 2026 18:04:59
Remember when we got completely done by hull on day 1 and people said we were over reacting and United would come back strong
Good times.
20 Sep 2026 17:59:15
I said it a hundred times in the summer: Mainoo and Tielemans can NEVER work as a midfield two. Can't tackle, can't cover ground quickly enough, awful out of possession.
The lack of pace in our side is frightening. We must surely be the slowest side in the PL? Rashford aside, not one single player in our squad has express pace.
It's embarrassing. Carrick out.
20 Sep 2026 18:55:06
Who else can play. Baleba is crocked, mount has legs made of poppadoms and carrick doesn't trust santos.
20 Sep 2026 17:09:04
Have we even 1 player on the pitch who can give others a bollocking to wake up, get stuck in, etc. We had Keane, Rio, Schemical, neville, etc before now we have no one, its all sorry, hand up, that's fine but no worries. Lacking leaders on the pitch, even or manager never opens his mouth on the line. So poor and timid.
20 Sep 2026 17:24:27
Absolute rubbish 1st half.
This defense is a shocker. can't play Kobie and Tielemans together. They can't defend space. Give them a man to mark if you want to play them together. My goodness Baleba better be ready after break. Every single time they get the ball they looked dangerous.
Why? Defenders drop of ball carrier giving them time and space. Midfielders nowhere. Shaw constantly thinks he should help Martinez instead of looking at his own player. Total shambles at the back. Thank goodness for Lammens.
20 Sep 2026 16:18:08
Ben Sesko, not in squad. He has a shin injury.
That was what kept him injured all summer. Really hope not as serious.
20 Sep 2026 16:26:02
I think there's more to it. Putting Rashford back in the lineup has disrupted the front 4. Cunha is not a 9 and being forced to play there to include Rashford. That obviously has forced Sesko out. His body language in the last game definitely showed signs.
20 Sep 2026 16:35:38
Cunha is not a LW or a RW either. He is a 10, so whether he plays as the 9 or LW, he is playing out of position. Cunha plays as a 9 for Brazil, so he is capable of doing it. Like it or not, Cunha has been poor and Sesko has done nothing when given the chance. Rashford has looked better than both.
20 Sep 2026 16:43:54
Looked better? Doing exactly what? Running with his head down and either running the ball out of play or running into players or not finding anyone in the box? Sesko scored when given a chance. that's his job.
20 Sep 2026 16:54:33
As if it couldn't be any worse, Vicki Sparks is commentating. Great.
20 Sep 2026 15:49:20
The same lineup again.
Cunha hasn't worked at number 9
Dalot has been in awful form
Shaw has cost us 3 goals already this season
Rashford has shown no end product
Lacey did more in 60 minutes than Mbeumo has shown all season
Surely after the results so far this season we need a shake up?!
