Which players do you consider morons?
The only player in United’s XI today that I can confidently, assuredly say has high football IQ is also physically washed and therefore a liability.

And it’s Eriksen, not Casemiro.

(I’m trolling a bit, but my list of “high IQ” United players would basically be Eriksen, Fernandes, Mount, and potentially Mazraoui and Mainoo)

Mazraoui? Lol

Yes? You'd really have to be stupid to think Mazraoui has poor IQ of all things because it's not his physique that's gotten him where he is. Guy's changed positions over the years, has been able to pitch in just about anywhere on the field.

Let me guess - wrong skin color and nationality, huh?

I only put him potentially just because I haven’t seen enough of him, whereas the guys i can say with certainty I’ve seen dozens and dozens of games worth. Hes probably been United’s best player this year (low bar)

You can't rely on him to stay healthy and he's not going to game-break but he's pretty good on both sides of the pitch and has pretty good offensive instincts. He's pretty much a swiss army knife of a player, the complete opposite of a non-IQ guy.

I don’t disagree but I don’t think I’ve ever seen jussi single out a player and I think he’s defended them all individually.

Thank you Spurs, lol! What an awesome beatdown that was to watch.

Yeah, we need a #9. Arsenal murdered Forest and the score should've been 4-0 by the first half. How we came away with just a one goal first-half and a final score of three to nil is actually quite ludicrous. Considering how utterly dominant and amazing we were, this should've been a 6-0 thrashing. Every player looked great, but I thought Calafiori was an absolute force out there. What a freaking presence that we haven't seen in like a month. Likewise with Odingaard who was my MOTM, but I needed to mention Riccardo since his play would have gone unnoticed.
