The negativity in this thread is unreal.

United always peform like this in the first half, so much so that I'm starting to believe it's all part of Jose's strategy. Lull the opposition in to a false sense of security by performing like a bunch ot talentless scarecrows, then transform in to world beaters in the second half.

We will win this game. Fact.

That's the spirit needed!

Carrick for McTominay at half, get some composure on the ball and need those splitting passes

simonhch · Mar 5, 2018

Just let Pogba play. He's in poor form. He isn't going ot get better by taking him off and crushing his confidence further. He'll bounce back. It's not working for him now but you can see he's trying to do stuff, and that's what we need.

Just a remainder for some, your mouses have life span of 2-15 million clicks.

JinnerJamie · Mar 5, 2018

Dare I say go 442?

Dobba · Mar 5, 2018

If this team were a horse, they'd be getting the empty Pritt Stick tubes ready.

Our best chance of the half?

Nah Sanchez chance.

SirAnderson · Mar 5, 2018

Our play has at least been much faster than normal but now its just the end product and accurate passing that is so bad.

BluesJr · Mar 5, 2018

Nothing drastic will change until we go in a new direction I’m starting to really think now.

We’ve seen some dreadful performances from us but this one tops the lot. Totally abysmal.

This is total football compared to spurs awayb

Sanchez gets an easy ride on here.

Definitely.

Litch · Mar 5, 2018

Scott that's a shocking tackle. This lad is not good enough and I don't care how fecking old he is...

Let's be realistic, regardless of playing staff we'd be camped on the edge of their box under Fergie at this stage.

This is what upsets me most, going 1-0 down against a relegation team under Ferguson and it’d be an absolute relentless onslaught from us for most of the game. Now it’s just meh, last 20 mins maybe try a bit.

Dunno why people on here always think the opposition keep raising their game when we come to town.

It’s deluded, they play well because we let them play with time and space, find their rhythm and establish momentum.

Minimalist · Mar 5, 2018

McTominay hasn't been good tonight at all. Lacks composure (understandably).

Vidyoyo · Mar 5, 2018

"Such a waste from Lingard" - Commentator.

It really wasn't. We're fecking crying out for some shots here.

Bastian · Mar 5, 2018

He tackles like Scholes

That tackle

Nowhere near the ball when watching the replay but I thought he was close to it live

gica_7 · Mar 5, 2018

It takes a special incompetence to play this badly. Well done.

MThomas · Mar 5, 2018

It's somewhat amusing that for the 3rd time the ball rolls out of play when it's passed ahead of Valencia who has an insane amount of space to run into. Neither him or Young are good enough as attacking fullbacks

ivaldo · Mar 5, 2018

Quality challenge Scott

We are going to get demolished by pool

Nah, we will beat them. No worries for that game. At old trafford we are different team

Classical Mechanic · Mar 5, 2018

Now we know why Scott doesn't tackle.

VeevaVee · Mar 5, 2018

Alexis should’ve whacked it when he got it on the edge of the box. Not one person seems to have their head screwed on

I’d love to know what we work on in training

I had a manager years ago and at training we'd do about 30 mins of sprints and shuttles .a few mins of ball work and then a game for about an hour. No talk of any tactics .No talk of strategy or formations .No mention of next opponent etc.
Show up on a match day.... 442 lads.
Team named. Usually his faves.
Go out and keep it tigh... good luck .

Liverpool will be very worried about playing us, we look fantastic.

They will be up for that one. We’ll win and Lukaku will start demanding that EAsports should upgrade his finishing stats on FIFA18.

iam_kramer · Mar 5, 2018

I haven't really been able to tune in so missed the first half an hour, I'm guessing we've been poor in attack for most.

When is Jose going to realize he needs the winger to play like wingers and stop cutting into the center

Probably never because that's how he want's them to play.

Cristiano_RAFC · Mar 5, 2018

Sanchez is playing poorly too.

GhastlyHun · Mar 5, 2018

I've seen that face on Sanchez before, something something 10-2

Sandyman · Mar 5, 2018

Utd to clear the free kick and score on the counter!!

We'll have no positivity in the matchday thread please!

Andersons Dietician · Mar 5, 2018

McTominay must have been to the Paul Scholes school of tackling

what in the feck

Sanchez has been shite

Tbf they've all been shite.

PvsNP · Mar 5, 2018

Why are we so shit away from home

All 3 United · Mar 5, 2018

This is absolutely shocking, summarised by that ‘tackle’. We have too many players who are just not good enough and others that are just off par as a result we look disjointed and clueless.

Phil · Mar 5, 2018

The feck you lot on about? Sanchez has been the only man capable of passing to a teammate in the final third

Commentator's curse of course

Snow · Mar 5, 2018

Everything fundamental about football is being wrongly done by United in this half. If it isn't the worst half of the season then it surely is in the top 3.

OnlyTwoDaSilvas · Mar 5, 2018

Got the ball.

With his arse, but he got it.
