Tim what’s your headline out of that um yeah still still a long way to go nobody I mean this this this was tough I just think the the what’s what’s concerning it’s it’s not a a grave concern but the the substitutions for me the like for like substitutions changing two of your back three in the in the 65th minute like that there has to be other issues going on that need changing and fixing and what I would say about again this is my opinion sometimes you have to let players suffer a little a little bit like like bringing a player off almost lets him off the hook right like like you have ideas that you want to get across let them play through it um look he’s chasing the game I think he can chase the game in other ways but um it just it just shows what a long-term pro project this is when you keep changing players when you keep changing your back three you take five players off you’re basically saying to all of them effectively because they’ve obvious been left out at the start of the game that you don’t trust them and ten hard kept doing that a few weeks ago he kept changing the back plays changing the Midfield all of a sudden you’ve got a completely different system a completely different set of players on the pitch at the end of the game and you can never get stability or consistency I think there just an element of what Tim just said just leave the players on they actually weren’t playing that bad in the first half obviously they were undermined by the set pieces in terms of the corners but the football generally wasn’t that bad then you allow two mistakes that were made after halftime within the first 10 minutes to undermine you and then basically you make changes and all of a sudden everything falls to Pieces they looked really scruffy really scruffy they looked a mess at the end United with no real shape I actually think at least in the first half they weren’t brilliant but at least they had a shape to them so on Monday morning on the training ground what’s the first and most important thing he does I think I said this for tenh for probably about 12 months pick an 11 that you think are the best but he doesn’t know does he I know but I thought today the team we all agreed before the game even Leon commentary and Peter discussed it before the game we thought that 11 was probably apart from Luke Shaw as close to Manchester United’s best 11 as you could get but then he changed five of them I know I’m not saying don’t make a substitution but almost give that 11 the faith and trust Mesa is doing it now at Chelsea he’s playing an 11 on a Sunday or a Saturday and then he’s playing a different 11 in midweek and he’s sending some some messages to the players that the stability here this is what we’re going to do and this is how we’re going to play and this is an idea that I believe in when you change players all the time you’re almost saying to everybody you know you’re just juggling plates spinning plates all the time there’s no consistency or or familiarity that can build with players you need to build patterns together you need to build that sort of idea of what you doing together they can never do that if players are changing all areas of the pitch you agree with that Tim yeah I do I mean the one thing that sticks out for me is is in 18 months time when I think United will will start to be at their best it won’t look anything like this so many of these players won’t won’t be there and and I look at and I said something to you both off air like something’s crept into into United a few things but this we’re we’re we’re we’re playing from behind and you snatch it across and it was it was a good movement of play and you’re pumping up the crowd and you’re like this is this isn’t what Manch like I I’ve played with players at Manchester United that would have been embarrassed and they would have told me we’re losing the game you don’t pump up the crowd you win the game you walk off the pitch and so there’s been a lot of that with this with this current team and that that’s about strong leaders and characters holding each other accountable which they don’t have yet no no good team is ever a good team without hard work Manchester United a 13th in the league and their running stats their distance covered is 16th in the league you don’t deserve anything if you’re being outrun every single week and that’s also interesting because the first game under Ruben amam their running stats were pretty low weren’t they I remember you saying which just show you’d have thought that it’s first game they’ run their hearts out it it’s to me the sort of the worst thing that can be said about you is that basically you’re not a hardworking player or you’re not a hardworking team and I think when I interviewed ran am Amarin three weeks ago he said the first thing that I want to change is the athleticism of the squad he’s basically saying they’re not fit enough they’re not as fit as the other players in the league they don’t work as hard as the other players in the league when Manchester United give the ball away they don’t Sprint back with the same intensity as other players in the league that you watch and it’s it is really I mean must be the one thing that a fan wants to see going into a stadium is their players if you like caring and passionate for the shirt they want to see them working as hard as they possibly can and they’ll forgive a lot of other things they’ll forgive mistakes but you don’t get that from United you get the poor quality you get actually a team that is lethargic in the way in which they work and it’s not easy to like just quickly how quickly can you get that Fitness we’re talking weeks or we’re talking months whether it’s Fitness confidence belief or whether it’s just general work ethic it’s a mixture of all three and I can’t work out you know Ruben am’s got to work it out pretty quickly is it a work ethic issue there is definitely a work ethic issue in that Squad where they don’t know what the standard is there is definitely a fitness issue in that Squad and there’s a confidence issue and to be fair it’s a vicious circle I’m not quite sure how you get out of it but something’s got to give he’s got almost almost sacrifice maybe the next month and say right we’ve got to do a Fitness Camp and we might lose games on the Saturday because we’ve worked hard during the week but the out upside of that is that in February March April May we’ll be fitter we’ll be stronger and we might start to see something in the telegraph it’s come out an interview um that s Jim rackliffe has done with United We Stand fanine just want to read you a couple of quotes Tim I’ll start with you these are some quotes from Sir Jim rackliffe the club has drifted for a long period of time a decade or so Manchester United has become mediocre there is a major change to come to achieve Elite status it’s not Elite and it’s supposed to be one of the best football clubs in the world trying to turn what’s been Rel ly mediocre into an elite top team it’s a big task it is not an easy problem to solve they are strong strong words actually quite similar to what Ruben amarim said about being a massive Club but not a massive team I mean there’s no doubt about this they’re trying to make sure everyone knows this ain’t happening in 2025 well certainly not in 24 and probably not in 25 right that’s what the mess are trying to get out there yeah yeah look pump the brakes I I like um what sergeon R Cliff has done since he’s taken over the club and and quite frankly once Sir Sir Alex Ferguson had left The Dugout this club needed a figure head and they haven’t had it they haven’t had someone at the top to just say I’m in charge and I’ll say what needs to be said and he’s doing that and I think it’s important and I and again I like what he’s done I like the things he said particularly the fact that his manager is on the same page as him as are the people under him um it’s a strong statement but it was needed it’s realism is it too negative or are you okay with it I mean we’ve wanted a voice at the club for many many years we wanted someone to speak out um r am him saying that basically it’s a massive Club but not a massive team and Jim rackliff saying that the club is currently mediocre we’ve just seen the evidence out there on the pitch what we’ve just been discussing about that lack of work ethic that L lack of belief lack of confidence you know there’s no Authority in the club they’ve lost their they’re scared of their own shadow there’s not a boldness there’s not that sort of feeling of sort of being proud you know they need to get that back and it’s not going to come back very easy but at least they’re talking about it at least they’re confronting their problems headon and accepting what they currently are as difficult as it is to watch hi there I’m Rebecca Lo Studio host of NBC’s coverage of the Premier League
