We've been saved by De Gea. There has been nothing solid about the Forwards, Midfield nor Defence.

2 long range efforts and a balls up by Awb/Lindelof, other than that his work has been straight forward.

Chelsea are not that good.

Shane88 · Nov 28, 2021

I don't know how you fix these players, to be honest.

Every fecking little facet of football looks so difficult for them. Ball control, 5-10 yard passes, pressing, tracking, midfielders thinking they have 5 seconds to decide what to do in midfield. It's all so hopeless.

Christ help Rangnick with this lot.

We are playing like a relegation team. I think we had two touches inside their box, and one shot.

Would take a 0-0 though.

We are not that bad. I would say we are a mid-table team with mid-table tactics against a top team.

"You know what this game's crying out for? Jesse Lingard. They need a ball-carrier so much.

They're so deep, they need someone to get them up the pitch."

Thanks for that valuable insight Karen, but no thanks.

can’t be any worse than that we’ve got currently tbf.

take off mctominay or matic and put him behind bruno

Well I mean it's what he excelled at for West Ham. Sitting deep and running them into a counter attack

Some of our lads are working their bollocks off here and Rashford is just strolling around half the time.
Zero effort marking and zero press.

It stands out too when 3 people are pressing but one isn't, leaving an open lane for Chelsea to pass out of. There's no reason for Rashford not to be running non stop out there

36:04 look at how mctominay doesn’t have the vision to pass it to Fred because he can’t turn easily. We don’t deserve this is 2021. I promise you ragnick cannot fix players like AWB, mctominay and Maguire who take ages to turn. Even Matic who is turning 60 still turns effectively out of pressure. We need better dribblers in this team.

That McT backward passing instead of fred in acres was so annoying and we proceeded to immediately lose the ball in our own half. McT is the first name to be dropped/replaced in this team.

TheLord · Nov 28, 2021

Chelsea have been toothless. R James has been quiet today. Alonso is definitely not half as good as Chilwell. Hudson Odoi makes rubbish decisions in the final third. Werner is downright rubbish. And I am amazed that Ziyech plays for Chelsea.

All good for us.

We could get a winner today in the second half. Probably a Ronaldo winner in the final 15 mins.

JSC · Nov 28, 2021

VDB for McT and we may get out from the back successfully. Especially since we clearly want to get out via the right. Rashford a non entity so far.

SadlerMUFC · Nov 28, 2021

I don't understand our "press". You can see at times we are trying to press but it's too reactionary. Our players give them too much space and when the obvious pass goes to their player that they've given 15 yards of space, they then sprint at that player. What's the point of that? Either pick up your man or don't. This reactionary press is so dumb. You can easily see who the players are who are going to get the ball yet we leave them open until they get it. Makes absolutely no sense...

smi11ie · Nov 28, 2021

United have done well so far although their attacking play has been a non-starter. Chelsea have been aggresive. Stage is setting nicely for Ronaldo.

well At least the players are running and closing down… in possession we look like a friggin pub team.

We are looking like the Everton dogs of war of yesteryear. That's good actually.

Wish he was two inches taller and 10 pounds heavier. Would be perf

Yes and if you like defenders who fall over at the first push by a forward.

If you think a slightly taller, heavier Fred would be perfect, that’s very generous spirited of you but you need to raise the bar a touch.

Still ill · Nov 28, 2021

Well. Tough watch but there's potential there. A bit more cuteness in the pressing and the movement, we can certainly hurt them in behind. Need more out of Rashford, Bruno and need McTom to keep the head and time things a bit better. Calm heads at the back.

we have mctominay and matic in midfield and the laziest wingers in the league - with a paperweight up front.

it’s not really a surprise is it?

our whole game plan is lump it forward into space and hope for the best

that hasn’t been our game plan though, and I can’t understand it personally. Surely with the pace we have up front/out wide, we’d be better playing the diagonals Over the top but we’re trying to play through the lines which is odd imo.

Not sure what happens to rashford? He is getting from bad to worst.

Would be tempted to take Bruno out for Donny.

Rashford game intelligence is shocking.. He delayed the pass to Fred after making sure he cant shoot.. By that time Chelsea were in shape

Because we don’t coach our players. Simple as that. I’m sure of it. Just watch the difference in a few weeks/months.

Speako · Nov 28, 2021

I’d bring McT and Matic off, Donny and Ronny on. Bruno Fred Donny in midfield. Give Rashford ten minutes or so to pull his finger out of his backside, then Lingard on for last half and hour. The defence is a shambles, but it’s what we have.

KennyBurner · Nov 28, 2021

Rashford delayed that pass to Fred

I thought so too but whatever.

Hughie77 · Nov 28, 2021

That's poor reffing, that, and when is advantage over its not rugby to carry on and on then pull it back because they lose the ball. 1 pass after advantage lose it its usually over. Come on lads big 45 mins, showed at least we can create in latter part of the half. See how the half goes then Ronny on for last 20.

Irrational. · Nov 28, 2021

United xG 0.02 :lol:

berbatrick · Nov 28, 2021

AWB, Mctominay and the front 3 have been poor.
Would be interesting to have Ronaldo, Greenwood and DvB on for McT, Bruno, and Rashford. 4-3-3 with the front 3 able to rotate.

Positives: DDG and Fred.

Mctom and Rashford. Jesus christ. One nowhere near good enough, the other with the worst attitude I've ever seen in a red shirt.

Martial is playing?

Agreed he’s just going around looking for ‘fights’. Right cnut.

Dunno whether this ref will do anyone though.

Rudiger is always one breath away from tw@tting someone, he's like Bailly but with malice.

Alonso will probably try as well... then dive, roll and cry if someone looks at him.

I didn't mean to sound bad, i just feel like we're helpless, every time we get the ball back they're on top of us, tugging and pushing, like a constrictor snake squeezing us, feels hopeless ergo the comparison...

Your post was grotesque, and showed a serious deficit in social and emotional intelligence.

We're also playing without a manager

FerociousCorgis · Nov 28, 2021

Frankly embarrassing. I get wanting to win, but holy hell playing like a relegation fodder team just hoping to hold on. Once again you can see how we have shite coaches. We throw random formations out there but you can see the players really dont understand what they are supposed to be doing.

RedRonaldo · Nov 28, 2021

We survive for half time, let’s keep up

Someone should provoke Rudiger. Looks ripe for a sending off.

We should sign him on a free

Pathetic from De Gea for the freekick. Should be coming out and claiming that ball not flapping it out for a corner.

Sure. But without him, we'd be 2 or 3 goals down. It's like calling out a striker who's scored a brace or a hattrick for missing a single chance.

Why would Carrick change anything when the game is going exactly as he would have planned?

What the hell has happened to Rashford. He wasn’t the most technically gifted. But his touch is so crap now. We have 3-4 players in every line up that can’t control a ball and that always breaks any tiny amount of momentum we build.

I’ll take 0-0 at full time.

His fanboys will say he’s still injured to everyone else he should be sold while we can get decent money and sign a few midfielders.
