Our style of play is abysmal. I accept it tonight because it's all about getting the job done, but going forwards Manchester United cannot play this hoof ball
I agree with the first line, but what do you mean with the cancer part?
I've read that five times, surely if we continue like that, they still won't get a sniff?
I'm being pedantic, I do get your point!
Imagine it if we were losing!
Some United fans are just ridiculous.
The internet really has made knobs out of a lot of folk.Get Jesse on for MikiGet Mkhitaryan off. My word he's fecking useless. Genuinely looks like he won a competition to be there.
Defensively we've been spot on but by feck we cant counter attack. May as well just kick the ball out of play every time we get it. Our attacking players are fecking pitiful. Laughable that some people dont want James. He would improve us tenfold. Anyone would.
Mkhi is on a yellow.....he's contributed nothing defensively and offensively. I will be very happy to see him hauled off but Jose would wait till the 60th minuteHappy enough with the basic plan of sitting off and hitting them on the counter, but we really need to vary the attacking patterns a bit and actually support Rashford. Hoof ball to Fellaini with no runners supporting him is just going to invite more and more pressure.
don't hold your breath.why have Ajax played such a young team , have they got injuries or is this there 1st team.Mhki for martial, I love lingard but nights like these is where players like martial thrive.
We need a goal to seal it. Mata can provide the defining moment hence why jose picked himPerhaps it's the difference between the experienced ex-pros and laymen like me, but I don't share their sentiments that we're in control. I'm flipping nervous.Pogba, Blind, Smalling, and Darmian have all been immense.
Been our second best player outside of Pogba.
Playing out of position as a left back too. I know he has been given instructions to sit deeper and not get forwards too much, but I feel with more confidence he could be a threat going forwards.Very happy to see Darmain getting praised by everyone.This one cretin on Croatian television has said Mourinho has made Valencia a FB. It's not that he plays there for I don't know 7, 8 years or what.
What the feck are you talking about?
That's reaching.Reckon Jesse will be on for Mkhi at 60 minutes, mostly due to Mourinho wanting to shut down the attacking threat of Traore.We're sloppy on the ball, especially on those long balls in behind. The focus needs to improve. Defensively solid though, the back four are doing a very good job so far. A second goal is vital.
Same mate. It's not organic anymore, it's forced.
As for the game so far, we have controlled it, Ajax look like Utd under LVG so far.This game would've been absolutely perfect for Ibra. He would've dominated those two young CB's
1st team. Theyre young.
His main task is to nullify Traore and he has been doing that immensely.
They're a young team in general but their lack of experience has cost them so far.
Valencia wasted a good chance when he decided to shoot instead of crossing. We had 4 players in the box.Overall, ecstatic with the 1-0 lead at HT but we need to stop needlessly giving the ball away. It'll just come to bite us in the ass like it has many, many times previously this season. Single-handedly the biggest flaw of this team.Why did we decided to sit back? Honestly? It's just wrong, it's absolutely absurd. We were dominating, it was easy and they had no confidence so what do we do? We gave them the confidence by giving them the ball. Meanwhile we bypass our actual creative players by lumping hopeless balls up to Rashford.
I honestly don't get it. I'm happy we are winning don't get me wrong but our style of play needs to change next season.Need to address Traore getting through too easily/often on our left, and Rashford needs to get in the game more.
Otherwise we are playing well except for easing off after the goal.Pogba, Blind and Darmian have been our best players so far.
Rashford and Mhki have been really poor though.
People complaining about our performance at the moment need to realise Ajax currently look like we did last season. And believe me it is our defensive shape that's making them look that way as they are usually free flowing with chances galore.I'm just thinking of this game last season when Liverpool were 1:0 up at half-time and sitting pretty. Then Sevilla upped a gear out of nowhere and completely blew them away.
That must not happen here.
Come on boys, another good 45 minutes and we're there.
Any team can get one chance. When you are winning by four nil it makes that one chance redundant. But we are playing a dangerous game. We need at least another to make sure.
He's been Darmian's bitch so far
It's gone way overboard now. Most people are watching this to forget about it for a while.Ajax - 66% possession
United - 34% possession
Ajax - 3 attempts at goal
United - 6 attempts at goal
Ajax - scored none
United - scored one one of the reasons I have them on mute, listening Rio right nowWe are so poorly coached in possession.
That's their first team mate.It's been a low quality game of football. Ajax look nervous but they'll grow if we don't get a second. Our passing in the final third has been fairly awful but we're well organised defensively. Halfway there at least.- Status
