Atalanta 2:2 Manchester United

eire-red · Nov 2, 2021

Pogba showing his inability to play central once more. He gets away with it for France because international football is played at nowhere near the same intensity.

How does he keep getting selected when he's in such poor form? Again, we're chasing shadows out there. Funny how Atalanta are playing 5 at the back, but they're doing anything but sitting deep.

Godfather · Nov 2, 2021

Our passing in the final third is a fecking joke

fallengt · Nov 2, 2021

Even Atalanta knows how to press our defenders... And people somehow convinced themselves you need good players to do it.
United is the only team that doesn't know how to press, this is also why we're shit against it.

Nice pressing by Atalanta, we're clueless

Bruno has been invisible.

When you have the midfield giving the ball away all the time what’s Bruno to do?

Oh yes 4-2-4 worked really well during the 1st half at OT.

And against Liverpool.

beginning to think Jones and Smalling are better than Maguire

4-2-4 With Pogba and Mctominay in midfield with no Fred sounds like tactical suicide.

So that's basically McTominay?

Given as Pogba doesn't give a feck apparently. At least he's not been sent off

Yet

Bailly our best player so far. By quite a margin

Varane aside, Bailly is our most talented CB. He just can’t stay fit.

Someone · Nov 2, 2021

Pogba couldn't be less arsed if he tried to.

Ayoba said:
Why alter the formation?? Why not bring on telles and switch Maguire to CB??

I assume you mean Shaw? 3 at the back is leaving us completely outnumbered in the middle, but we should have added Matic or Fred to the midfield rather than an attacker.

laughtersassassin · Nov 2, 2021

We have to get at minimum a draw here.

Loss is not acceptable.

Even a draw is shit but it'll do

I think he saw the sub and the scoreline and felt needed an attacker on anyway, may as well do now

It just shows us that 352 was just pure luck vs Spurs. Timing of that game helped Ole

mariachi-19 · Nov 2, 2021

I’m wondering if that was strategic like Bailey against psg.

Varane isn’t fit and being 1-0 doesn’t need 3 defenders. He went down too easy.

No, its because Varane got injured. If Varane was fine wed still see 3 at the back.

This manager has no fecking clue. To coach all week with this system only to rip it up after one player hobbles off shows what a joke the entire staff is.

largelyworried · Nov 2, 2021

Looks back to normal - you attack we attack.

Random Task · Nov 2, 2021

Yeah, it's 4-2-1-3

He's a very good player. With a run of games he'd look even better

CloneMC16 · Nov 2, 2021

Bailly is playing very well at least.

And go with a midfield 2 with Pogba and McTominay? Atalanta will score at least another.

Drifter · Nov 2, 2021

Ronaldo, Bruno, not on the same wave length as Pogba

I wish I remembered who the Man Utd poster was a few weeks ago saying Ole is a better tactician than Tuchel.

He is a better tactician in the boardroom meetings than Tuchel.

MattofManchester · Nov 2, 2021

Wtf why doesn't Rashford look to help Bruno after making that pass?

Makes the pass and then just casually jogs.

Reapersoul20 · Nov 2, 2021

Ronaldo is so good at pressing, what a player

Judas · Nov 2, 2021

This has been utter toilet.

Ayoba · Nov 2, 2021

Europa League here we come!!!

Heinzesight · Nov 2, 2021

Thought we’d respond well after their goal. We got worse and just cannot cope with their intensity. Very poor.

Or you know, he didn’t have Pogba stinking up the midfield?

united_99 · Nov 2, 2021

Again no urgency, no ideas

TMDaines · Nov 2, 2021

Bruno playing as a forward will be the death of me. It’s not his best game. I want him getting the ball with forwards ahead of him.

Ah, yeah because Greenwood has played outstanding recently hasn't he.

Plus managing to annoy Ronaldo with his lack of passing ability. Add these together and clearly Sancho should have a chance.

Greenwood needs to massively up his defensive engagement but at least he has been productive going forward, the highlight of Sancho's season is getting a 42yo Bin-man to pull his hamstring.

I can absolutely promise you it wasn't me! I'm not sure Ole is better than a stuffed antelope

bakalhau · Nov 2, 2021

I have a tape over the scoreline and am watching United play. Are we winning? Looks like it, we just strolling the ball around.

Dear God this is terrible. Yet if we win, the cracks will be papered over for about the hundredth time

Yet we have some fantastic players on the pitch...

Cracks have been papered over so many times we look like paper Mache experts

RedMarcus said:
What must Donny be thinking seeing another dreadful performance from Pogba. Something is seriously wrong for him not to even get a sub appearance.

Ole will play the kitman but not donny. Its become an ego problem now.

mav_9me · Nov 2, 2021

Clueless huh...just like the manager and the board.

DavidDeSchmikes · Nov 2, 2021

Bailly played well

Ixion · Nov 2, 2021

Would rather not need to go to Villarreal and win.

Canucantona20 · Nov 2, 2021

Bruno needs to drop when we are in possession to collect the ball

Jazz · Nov 2, 2021

Well we're not scoring before half tme
