“It’s only a friendly” they said.
“It’s only pre-season” they said.
“The performance doesn’t matter” they said.
“We’ll play better when we get our players back” they said.45+4 min
Young clears the free-kick but United need half-time to sort this out. They're all over the place at the back.how low can we go...... during saf time losing like this is unthinkable but now it’s very normali can't believe people are placing this on both Bailly and Lindelof alone. have you guys seen the acres of spaces Young has been giving their attack? every single goal it was because someone on the right had to be tracked because Young let them run freeDidn’t think our meltdown would start this early in the season!
That is far from true. Lindelof has a poor match so far, but everybody has once in a while.We are unable to cope with these jizzy, pressing, high energy teams. Hopefully, we keep them from scoring more before they tire.
Not for the cnut, but for the club. Least you can expect from a professional footballer that is being paid a lot of money.
Just cause I don't like my boss, doesn't mean I don't do my job.
I blame Mourinhos negative attitude for everything
Never rated this lunatic. You need focus and composure as a CB and he has none
The thought of them giving this defence the runaround is terrifying.You can moan about coaching all you want but that tackle from
Bailly is fecking abysmal
Martial has not got on the ball
Once so again proving all the fan boys wrongMartial needs to never play for this club again.3rd Season implosion: Activated.Very graphic explanation to Carrick there from Jose.
That's more a reflection on the rest of them than him.
Nail on the head.
Would light it up for another side. As would every other player. Shit coaching.This is depressingPathetic performance. I don't know what Mourinho has been doing the last 2 years.At this point I can only think that the players have downed tools. This is a fecking low point.
How many flops should Jose be allowed to sign before he gets it right ?What a train wreck.
Good. I would.
Did Martial let the goals in?
All of our players are playing like crap.
Transfer policy is part of the problem but you look at Chelsea who appeared as dodgy at the back as us but still won due to their firepower up front courtesy of Sarri's system. Jose's coaching of our attackers is not good enough and when his defensive structure fails, it shows.
Goals win games no matter how bad the defense is. Defenses no longer win titles in modern football.I seriously haven't got a clue how this can be fixed. That said we'll probably end up winning 5-3!We could have gotten rid of him and gotten Poch before he extended with spurs. Now we are stuck with this inept clown all because our owners and Woodward are a bunch of gutless pigs. I very rarely get upset like this but 3-1 down to brighton warrants a sack after the match imo.
Agreed. Pathetic. We're the new LiverpoolShame on every single player. Shame on them all and the manager.So why is a defensive/counter attack manager failing to buy decent defenders? He has bought a pair of dross and wasted money.
No wonder the board is questioning his transfer targets.Brighton outplayed in the first match - lose Dunk after 19 minutes….and we can't ever be arsed to put some pressure on their defense. And the worst thing is - I am not even surprised.
They're are actually capable of putting a foot in and winning the ball, something our players seemingly don't know how to do so it's all a bit new to them and keep getting brushed off the ball.Just go all out attack with 3412.. We need support on the wing.
We’re not that defensive. We’re just incompetent at creating chances and are poor at transitioning into defence, so are constantly giving teams opportunities to create good chances.
Spot on, apparently those who say this though are not realy fans or getting behind the team. How can you get behind this shite, its tragic.Jose did say we will struggle this season....just didn't think it would be against Brighton, ffs.This the defence that Woodward didn't want to spend money onJudging by first half, Matic is most important player at your club.
Who's supposed to be playing DM for you again?Doesn't matter, it's only a meaningless pre-season friendly
Oh, wait
Yes, everybody likes Mata. Seems like a nice guy, but should not be a starter for us.
He can be good, but as you say he has that crazy moment in him. Not good.- Status
