Feck off Rashford.

mitchmouse · May 19, 2018

pathetic. any player who can't take a free kick isn't worthy of the shirt

pcaming · May 19, 2018

absolutely pathetic by everyone bar matic and ddg.

Go where??

Drifter · May 19, 2018

Clear out needed. But it won't happen.

Sunny Jim · May 19, 2018

I knew he would hit the wall

DWelbz19 · May 19, 2018

Hook Rashford at HT.

Oscie · May 19, 2018

Rashford's set-pieces tend to be awful.

Litch · May 19, 2018

This is absolutely terrible...

JTW95 · May 19, 2018

We really are the worst team in the league at set pieces :lol:

Nate Dogg · May 19, 2018

If only Rashford had a brain...thick shit!

Kevin · May 19, 2018

Rashford taking set pieces. Brilliant plan.

SadlerMUFC · May 19, 2018

But why is Rashford taking that? He should be on the header. Let Young take it

Murder on Zidanes Floor · May 19, 2018

Rashford is never going to be a starting striker for a PL winning team.

pseudo_canadian · May 19, 2018

God dammit Rashford

MrSingh2002 · May 19, 2018

Think we have to take Rashford off to even stand a chance.

Want to see Martial and Lukaku on for Sanchez and Rashford at HT.

Erics_Collar · May 19, 2018

As soon as Rashford lined up to take that, I knew it would be low and no further than the first man.

Anyone criticizing our inability to create: Chelsea are rock solid, playing with essentially 9 men behind the ball. Any team in the world will struggle against this Chelsea side, who are essentially playing a 5-3-1-1 having given up the lead.

For all the criticism Jose gets around parking buses, Conte is 10x worse. Main difference is Hazard v Sanchez.

Jones couldn't have followed Conte's script more. Rashford is, sadly, only really useful against a deep line on the counter. And Chelsea now have no reason whatsoever to bring men ahead of the ball.

If we're unable to get back into this it's really just done to (another?) Phil Jones moment. Chelsea were creating nothing against us whatsoever.

Ah I remember that last season at Old Trafford. I remember it was called a tactical master class

Ye wanna change it @Damien is this possible?

Yeah.

Gasolin · May 19, 2018

They have 2 lines of 5 and 4, we need players like Pogba and even Herrera to try to go in the box as soon as the ball is there, Rashford and Lingard should try to load each of the wings no matter what to give a passing option, that's gonna be the only way to make sure Chelsea tries to defend on both areas.

botond · May 19, 2018

getting hard to stay awake

Silas · May 19, 2018

As if we're still putting Rashford on those kind of set pieces.

Chicharo · May 19, 2018

Is it the 1000th time right to say we're shit?

You’re a great top red pal. A great top red.

Don’t even know what you are getting at here. Just being level headed. I know that’s a crazy concept in the match day thread.

All 3 United · May 19, 2018

Rashford can’t even beat the wall with a free kick in a great position. That must be Jose.... wake up lads.

So you'd base your keeper selection entirely on a the fact a penalty might happen to occur? Nothing to do with any other factor?

Exactly. If that’s the case shouldn’t Romero be played every single match since a penalty can potentially come up in every single match :lol:

Past evidence disproves that. I think this team deserves criticism but this is undeserved.

We've never fielded this team before.

Dont agree.We could sign Messi and we would still be coached in this dire positional rigid way. Manager is to blame

Yeah, I'm a fan of Martial but he's nowhere near a type of player like Hazard who has superb consistency and so much more to his game. As it is, Matic is closest to being that player for us, which is absolutely crazy.

Schmiznurf · May 19, 2018

For someone who seems to want to be a striker, Rashford spends way too much time away from the opponents box.

RepardReece · May 19, 2018

Even if we win today, how anyone can look at this team and think the manager is doing a good job is beyond me.

Completely agree with you mate. There's absolutely no pace in our attack, even though most of our players are fast... No movement, a slow build up that leads to a cross that never works. I have no clue what's going on in Mourinho's head... his tactic is completely wrong. And might I ask why has Sanchez been taking corners, just cause he's small??? I can't remember a time when we had a chance to score from his corner.

It doesn't help that we don't seem to have anyone playing on the right wing today. I think it's supposed to be Lingard but he is playing too narrow and often found on the left side of the field. Valencia is all by himself

I think they are rotating, Rashford was on the right for a while.

Random Task · May 19, 2018

Half-chance for Jones.

Bobski · May 19, 2018

I am seeing a rerun of the OT game coming. Chelsea get a lead but no real interest in pushing on and trying to finish the game. Utd keep going, not playing well, find an equalizer then with the momentum finish strong and take the Cup.

JPRouve · May 19, 2018

Bastian said:
It's clear as day that we are a team a man short of our own magician. We really do need a player who can unlock defenses and make things happen.

Literally, though we could use a couple of druids.

IrishRedDevil · May 19, 2018

Good plan Rashford. Just smash the ball as hard as you can and hope for the best.

He has to follow the manager's instructions.

Irrational. · May 19, 2018

Oliver is pathetic.

Anustart89 · May 19, 2018

Rashford's fecking useless. What does he contribute to the team?
