    The passing has been nothing short of woeful. The sheer amount of misplaced passes is staggering.

    And Pogba's. Fellaini's and Darmian's has been cowardly. Rashford's touch and decision-making poor. Mata pretty anonymous. The list goes on.

    Need a very different performance in the 2nd half.
     
    What a pathetic display so far, the passing is amateurish. You can't even complain about the other team parking the bus and making it difficult to string passes together, they are actually going at United and look like the better team.
     
    Fellaini and Matic in midfield aren’t needed in the same team, especially against Brighton
     
    Really poor passing display :( we don’t seem to be able to pick even the simple passes.

    Has to get better in the second half, I’d hook Rashford though, real lack of football intelligence this game.
     
    Our players either have the wrong studs on or there is an invisible sniper in the rafters.

    Mourinho seems unable to motivate the team. Half arsed nearly every single game.

    team is crying out for a leader like Keane on the pitch

    instead we will have to wait to half time to effect a change
     
    Our passing has been as bad as the 1st half vs City. Hope we improve to the standards of the 2nd half of that match
     
    I can't be convinced that Rashford is a number nine. He can be a fine wide forward from the left particularly.
     
    Every pass is either too far ahead or too far behind, or completely misplaced. What a dog's dinner of a performance. Fecking abysmal.

    Mourinho's not happy
    Mourinho is despairing at United’s midfield again. No one is warming up and that is maybe the only surprise about this United display. They lost at the other two promoted clubs and were feeble throughout and the theme is continuing here. Their standout player has been De Gea and we have seen why Rashford won’t be starting the FA Cup final, unless he redeems himself emphatically.
     
    I can’t stop myself laughing at how poor we have been. It’s the passing in midfield. Normally wouldn’t be one for the Jose extreme half time sub execution but some of this lot need a boot up the rear. Matic, Fellaini, Pogba,Young,Darmian,Mata and Rashford.

    As I write this Mata plays a stupid pass and ignores Martial again.
     
    On this evidence, Rashford & Martial deserve to permanently be on the bench. This has nothing to do with tactics or whatever, they are just incredibly limited.

    Rashford free on the right channel, Martial was in acres of space and Rashford couldn’t find a pass to locate his team mate. Their fans would blame Jose’s tactics for this but this is just appalling.
     
    Martial playing one-twos but the two hasn't been given all game

    I think Fellaini is the one who is useless cuz he is useless on the ball and does not press. He has been a passenger so far. I would always play Matic and Herrera instead of Fellaini.
     
    The thing that annoys me most is when you compare our movement to the likes of Liverpool or City. They're constantly working, making little runs, offering support, working with each other.

    When you watch us, it's so static, players are walking about, when someone gets cornered the support comes jogging along. The lack of urgency and composure is so evident.

    Dross stuff, really dire.

    Martial is pretty much the only one out there who has been half decent and showing good intent. Rashford though yeah, awful.
     
    That Godlike connection in creativity...Smalling to Fellaini :lol:
     
    If we lost this, we officially lost games to all promoted club away.

    The posts about Rashford , so he should have passed and he did not, seen the best players do the same, some off the posts calling him are just appalling

    It’s incredible, really. Some of these posters are so vicious towards our own players for something as unforgivable as missing a pass!:wenger::wenger:
    As soon as Rashford scores, they’ll crawl back under their rocks
