Burnley 0:1 Manchester United

Jones having a good game against Burnley's best attacker Chris Smalling.

shamans · Jan 20, 2018

Is pogba playing left wing.

Looks to be wrong decision.

The voiceover from the stadium then nearly deafened me :lol:

YouOnlyLiveTwice · Jan 20, 2018

We are playing shite

Nick7 · Jan 20, 2018

Never a free kick.

Android1974 · Jan 20, 2018

This doesn't seem like a game for Mata, really, with not much advanced possession.

You have to feel for Lukaku. He feeds on scraps.

He's great in the air and yet we have nobody who can stick a good cross in apparently.

He bloody misses sitters

That's why we need Sanchez on right

Yeah, let's hope it happens

Bobcat said:
I really hate this 4231 formation. The link between MF and attack is just not there and the only plan seems to be "give it to Pogba or Martial and see what happens"

Who are both invariably down the left. So when Burnley overload their right side and shut us down, there's no alternative plan. Just give it back to defence and then down the left flank again

Perfect for Sánchez...

Thing is Young really isn’t a better attacker. Shaw has been good recently making runs and getting forward.

All I know is Matic is our midfield

Loublaze · Jan 20, 2018

I hope Sanchez isn't watching

YzWayne · Jan 20, 2018

Why is lukaku missing all the headers badly?

Baby Groot · Jan 20, 2018

Sorry but have United ever won in gray kit?

SwansonsTache · Jan 20, 2018

More fluid movement from Burnley when they attack than us ffs.

Rajma · Jan 20, 2018

We'll never be able to play ourselves out of pressure with Smalling on the pitch, should be first to be shown the door in the summer, no point hanging on imo.

marlowe78 · Jan 20, 2018

Smalling has been awful. If Blind were on the bench, I'd actually say he should come off!

MonkeysMagic · Jan 20, 2018

The tumescent nature of our passing in the final third is precisely why teams like Burnley get so much joy out of playing us. We don’t seem capable of making one touch passes, every one holds onto the ball far too long.

What? He has been our most reliable centerback! Not this game, though.

2 man midfield · Jan 20, 2018

We don't seem aggressive enough in our closing down. Burnley free to do what they like.

If Lukaku could only cross for Lukaku

I've posted this before to something similar to your post but no one noticed

Lukaku crossing to Lukaku for a goal.

AndyJ1985 · Jan 20, 2018

Our attack is crying out for a player like Hazard, or Griezmann, or Sanchez.........

Pogba is class. Great turn and pass.

Then he might as well play Young ahead of Martial and keep an actual fullback in the team to help out the attacker.

R'hllor · Jan 20, 2018

People think we are playing 4-3-3, look our supposed MCR, Matic just stepped out from his position to close his man and left space behind

Wore grey when we thumped CSKA earlier in the season.

I see it's still a family affair in the stands at Turf Moor

That generally happens when a player steps out of position.

AltiUn · Jan 20, 2018

Lovely bit of play there.

Greck · Jan 20, 2018

Young might get his assist but our play will always be better with a ball carrying/overlapping LB

Even Whoscored stats agree.

We never are. Along with his great attacking abilities, Alexis' relentless pressing is one of the things I'm looking forward to him bringing to the table.

Where is Blind? Injured? Can’t recall the last time I saw him

E-mal · Jan 20, 2018

Martial has been poor, very poor movement

Because he’s awful on the ball. He said it in the post you quoted.

He's clown of the defender, awful positionaly and does a lot of individual mistakes.
