Get Lingard off for Pereira, William’s on for Shaw and give it 15- 20mins and if nothing improves Greenwood on for James.

But you have to recognise discernible organisational and tactical patterns in improvements. Placebo improvements don't necessarily bear the mark of tactical improvements, whereas, good coaching can be seen very clearly in this Arsenal side. Win or lose, the tactical framework is very evident.

Not saying he's crap but there's definitely a bounce going on, even Ozil is playing out of his skin

I can handle the errors from De Gea, I can handle the abysmal positioning from Maguire and I can even handle the shite passing from Lingard because lets face it, it's not really his fault anymore as Ole keeps picking him.

What I cannot stand however is the utterly pathetic levels of effort from Luke Shaw (or any other player for that matter). Jogging around like he's playing Sunday league with his fat pals in the park. It makes my blood boil and I would happily never see him in a United shirt again.

There was absolutely no need to start that loser today. Williams had a great run, he should have started.

We do not have the choice not to play Matic but starting Lingard is a crime against football. I cannot fecking believe we keep doing this

It's a fecking joke. Must have Ole's nudes or something. That interview worked wonders

This demonstrates that our woeful performances are down to coaching. Arsenal have looked utter cack all season, and once Arteta comes in and starts to actually implement a style of football, you see signs of improvement in the initial games and bang, they're all over us, 2-0 up at half time.

Ole quite clearly doesn't have a clue when it comes to tactics, with the wins against City and Spurs flattering him and us. I want the man to succeed with us naturally, but with each week that goes by I slide further and further toward the Ole-out camp. It's painful.

Didnt we see immediate signs of improvement and style of football when Ole came in?

Fact is, Arteta has had two games. Best to judge him and Arsenal after at least a year.

Judas · Jan 1, 2020

I think Shaw has one of those shock collars that will go off if he makes a meaningful attacking run.

Offside · Jan 1, 2020

You can’t really blame Lingard. He has a look sometimes like he himself is wondering how he keeps starting. I’ve defended Ole on here but you can’t defend that he keeps playing that utter sack of shite every single week. It’s absolutely bizarre.

Andersonson · Jan 1, 2020

Fred is so hyped by fans its unreal. He's a terrible midfielder. Really terrible.

Are you saying Rashford is shit?

Seems to be... Ridiculous take

Jacob · Jan 1, 2020

Slabhead can't aim his headers, should've scored 3-4 goals by now if he didn't miss these sitters.

Completely outplayed.

They’ve destroyed us with their pressing and we’re so languid in possession that we’re making it easy for them.

Outplayed by Arsenal

Is euthanasia legal yet?

Feed Me · Jan 1, 2020

This will be three or four

We are offering nothing in attack

Judas said:
He looks like he’s playing in slow mo. So lethargic and clumsy.

Yes he was jogging around like it was a warmup. I mean, ok to be dribbled once in a while by a good forward, but he is jogging around like he doesn’t care.

Shaw is having a nightmare.

Same as always. Just the degree of nightmare varies

RedIan · Jan 1, 2020

Feck me this threads in melt down impossible to keep up. We were shit all round. midfield is the problem we are being swamped and have no quality midfielders available to come on and help. to come on and sort it out...

greenwood on for James and Pierra on for Jesse is the likely changes. Not much else we can do.

GoldanoGraham · Jan 1, 2020

“We didn’t see any value in the market.......”

always_hoping · Jan 1, 2020

2nd half about restoring pride do we trust these United players to even do that? I'd say a 3 or 4-0 loss more likely.

Lingard, Matic, Shaw

First 3 positions I would upgrade. If we're looking to save money, just play Williams. First two need to be replaced this window.

Seriously, why does Lingard start? I'm not even going to go into the statistics thing, this guy has been terrible for over a year. Where is the accountability. In SAF's days, you'd have to earn your way back.

Agreed. It's a really important window, it will at least tell us about the owners/woodwards intentions because it's clear to anyone with eyes that we need some backup.

Sentient Meat · Jan 1, 2020

I feel torn because if we come back and win, it buys Ole more time but I don't want to lose either.

charlenefan · Jan 1, 2020

I'm still knackard from last night, wondering why I don't just go to bed now (got work tomorrow as well)

He was supposed to be good in attacking set pieces

Mind you, he was supposed to be good at passing. And defending.

Hanky panky · Jan 1, 2020

Did anyone saw Lingard to create anything positive in first half? Almost same with Shaw. Get Williams in.

They did it against Chelsea for 30 minutes until Lampard bought Jorginho on and changed the formation and then they ended sitting deep and defending a lead for the next 60 minutes. I wonder if Ole even watched that game.

They didn't do it as well as they're doing today. There's no one we can bring on in that midfield. Pogbas fecking ankle my arse.

TMDaines · Jan 1, 2020

Either going to be best ever AFTV or an early night for me.

FootyGirl88 · Jan 1, 2020

No changes

No subs? Strange.

Greenwood can come on for Martial. Tony has been absolutely invisible.

Anyway, Ole should have made these changes before second goal. It was so absolutely obvious that we were being hammered. If he doesn't even make changes at half-time, he can seriously feck off.

Judas · Jan 1, 2020

No changes :lol:

Heinzesight · Jan 1, 2020

Kolasanic on a yellow since the first minute yet no cnut runs at him once. Half-arsed performance.

Silas · Jan 1, 2020

Lingard makes it to the 2nd half...

RonaldoVII · Jan 1, 2020

No changes? Clueless.

He's not leaving before May anyway. Might as well hope we improve.

Seanus · Jan 1, 2020

No subs at half time is a bad call and possibly a cowardly one......

We need to improve on Lindelof at the back! He is great on the ball, but defensively needs to improve. Bring in KK, spend the 90m.

I'd give Tuanzebe a run of games with Maguire first before splashing out.

Ole’s job is safe even if we get hammered. The bloke is like a fecking cockroach

opopop · Jan 1, 2020

I'm guessing the excuse after the match will be we were a bit tired

Josep Dowling · Jan 1, 2020

Of course he hasn’t made any half time changes

Fecking laughable decision.

christinaa · Jan 1, 2020

So Ed Woodward is not considering buying anyone at this point?
Pogba wants to leave too.
Do the Glazers and Ed understand why no class players want to join us anymore?!
Do they want us to remain in the doldrums?
They will lose out in the end.
