Don’t think Chong for Dalot would do any harm. We could do with a spark on that right hand side. We’d need McTominay to cover Young a bit more but it would also free Pogba up to push further forward.

True. Too many changes to expect any fluid buildup and attack.Ole hairdryer HT I'm sure.
I blame Mourinho
Exactly what I meant
hust saw that miss in 7th minute bloody hell Rom. But forgive, for now. Score another one, and we are fine
For what? It is a bodged together team we can't expect the usual free flowing stuff.Doing alright all things considered, worth the lead overall though had a couple of scares through them breaking. Three points with all these injuries would be very nice.We just need to concentrate and tighten up defensively.
If we could nick another we can breathe easier.just seen the Lukaku miss for the first time. I was expecting an absolute shocker...a standard Rom shank shot. But.....that ball isn't on the floor and under his control ready to be shot....it's a bit tough, a bit of pace. So I actually don't have a metric ton of vitriol for him after that.
Agree totally. The guy hasn't played much at all in a league he is new to. Plus with Pogba out against PSG he is playing in that game.
I actually meant League winning form, my bad.We've not been that bad.
This.Is Townsend genuinely this good, or is this a performance of the season, from him?Thought we had a pretty good half, given our injuries etc.Fred is drastically lacking in sharpness and confidence, both of which are understandable. After the first few minutes he started just keeping it very simple which I think is probably for the best right now. Shaw has been very good and Lukaku's finish was excellent.
This is very much the type of game where 3 points is the most important thing, if we can get a second goal and give one of the youngsters 20 minutes then I will be very happy.
Eh? I'd be delighted with three points from Palace away with essentially a reserve side. We'll leapfrog them soon enough, just need out of a tight spot.I think we’ve looked solid. Not set the World slight but a very professional performance. Contained them well.Sanchez and Lukaku's play has been rotten really (bar Lukaku's goal). Should be further ahead if we had any quality up there.
Exactly. Never mind style of play today, we just need to get through it with hopefully 3 points.
He's been in great form recently.
agreed. although i don't think Dalot & Young should be where they are as it is. Definitely swap them over.
I think Joe bought him in as future replacement for PogbaI'm feeling sorry for Fred. Clearly lacking match sharpness and on the ball things are coming off for him.
It's a bit like in a kick about when its 8 a side and another lad turns up late. "Just play for both teams depending on what half you stand in". He doesn't know whether he's coming or going.
There is a player in there somewhere we've just not seen it in a Utd shirt yet.
Yes I made a mistake, I meant we are playing like a team that would be on top of the Premier League if it had started the same time OLe did.
Got a feeling if it weren't for Zaha, he might have even started.
He's been having a very good season in fairness.
Don't think you'll see him move for Chong unless we're at least two in front (and then for Young moving Dalot backwards) with 20 to go, think we might see Periera for Fred which will release Pogba to his more usual position. Just don't want to have to see Rashford!Shaw's been good, Sanchez has been decent. Well done Rom for that finish after a poor miss earlier on.
Hes a decent playerWe really lack quality football players that can pass a ball decently both in MC and out wide. Our ability on the ball is very bad for a team that wants to play CL football.I think Alexis has been pretty decent in this half. Fred on the other hand has been atrocious.
If or when Young gets tired it would make sense to put Chong on for him & take Dalot down to RB.
Until then he is getting ok crosses and helping Young out, so we're not losing too much ground on that side with him on the wing.
I think we're fine for now.Lukaku miss was from absolutely the same position as Kimpembe when he scored against us in CL. Similar corner delivery, same distance to goal, same height
with Young and Dalot on that side pogba has been given a more defensive role and is the main ball winner. 4 already. it's not ideal but with all the injuries he's doing a job .My only access to the game is the matchday thread.
Some saying decent first half, others saying shit.
What is it?
G.I. Joe
Very well said. Get back to work!- Status
