A Como-dy of Errors

#1061 | Manchester United were beaten 4-1 at Como in the Champions League. Ed and Dominic try to make sense of it. 

United’s pressing does not work; the players asked to lead it cannot do it, and Como passed through United at will. 

Carrick’s vision for the team is slipping by the week. How much is that on Carrick and how much on a club run by the same people who hired and fired ten Hag and Amorim, with a squad that was barely improved in the summer? 

Carrick probably won't go yet, though the November break and the January window are the usual moments for change. 

There there's Bournemouth at Old Trafford this weekend and a manager running short of options.
