Crystal Palace 0:0 Manchester United

That was a great half of football minus a goal or two. Dominating like we should. Bald is best

Ollie Derbyshire · Sep 21, 2024

Would be tempted to take Bruno off and play either ZirKzee or Eriksen as the 10. Allows to bring on Rashford or Hojlund to keep the pace up.

Warm take: I don’t think Mainoo has done enough to justify his place in the XI. I swap him for Ugarte as soon as the latter is match fit

Same. I feel at times he needs to simplify his game particularly when he is not playing well, also he still has lots to do in his defensive game, it’s like he is afraid or doesn’t want to go into duals.

He is still a kid and that’s why we need to slowly build his game up

Amad, Bruno out in 2nd half. They are useless

I think the opposite. Showing he can handle playing physical opponents.

That was the case against Southampton where no matter the pressure he kept the ball and progressed. Palace have complete marked him out of the game and he’s struggled big time.

Judas · Sep 21, 2024

Apart from finishing good half. After the shit we’ve watched for over a year, how people can be overly negative is mind blowing.

Von Mistelroum · Sep 21, 2024

Won't happen of course, but we should swap Bruno for Hojlund and see if he can play together with Zirkzee as 9 & 10. I suspect they would do well.

Not sure what people are watching.

He is part of the reason everything is connecting going forward.

Agree. Amad's been good and Zero is making us flow most of the time.

He’s been superb. Needs to improve his goal threat

Feels similar to Hojlund in that we as a team don’t really look to find our strikers much.

Yep. My attitude posted on this forum is what's important

saik · Sep 21, 2024

Racking up that xG but struggling to finish our chances. Story of our season so far. I really hope we come out and grab a goal quickly as that'll settle some nerves. If it goes on longer their confidence will suffer.

We are playing well as Palace barely had a chance. Please don't mess it up.

Zirkzee is really beginning to gripe.

Small wonder Bayern let him leave.

Weird. His contribution to the buildup and chance creation has been excellent today.

Walters_19_MuFc · Sep 21, 2024

Total domination. Should definitely be going in a goal or two up at half time.

Hoping we can take our chances in the second half.

Now that our general play has improved, Bruno inconsistent passing will stand out more

Good point

Our bench is quite strong. It feels like it's been a while since we could say that in a league game

Yeah just needs a full back fit then at least have an option on the bench for every position, like you say it's been a long time since we had a strong bench

stu_1992 · Sep 21, 2024

We've played really well to be honest. Creates good chances, some crisp passing and defended well in the little time that we've needed to. The obvious frustration is that we're not leading. The De Ligt chance was the one we really should have scored for me.

Hopefully nothing that will come back to haunt us.

Yep

Zirkhee works really well up front , unfortunately it’s finishing that’s been really lacking for us that he will get more scrutiny

I am loving Eriksen today, he's passing so well, but he is also fighting in that midfield, I would love for him to continue, not sure he'll last though

He can play as long as you dictate the pace of the game like we are. It’s when the game turns super transition heavy where he’s fecked because he can’t run that much.

You’ll also notice this second half that our players will look fresher than they did last season because we didn’t spend all game conducting sprints

Renato Sanches.

Bayern saw through him, too.

Unbearable how many players we sign have such a weak mentality.

Excellent half, for me the most convincing 45 mins of football that Utd have played under Ten Hag. It looked like a style that can work and suits the players on the pitch. More of that please.

Agree but just wish we take these chances. Our finishing remains a massive worry.

led_scholes · Sep 21, 2024

We have played great and completely dominated the game from the start. Of we continue like this, a goal is guaranteed.

Dudu · Sep 21, 2024

67% possession
9 shots
5 big chances
19 touches in the box
XG 1.55

Hendo made 4 big saves and has 30+ touches.

Everything but bloody scored FFS.

Some idiots on the caf was shitting on Dalot last week, I hope he's been watching the 1st half

I know, that’s as dominant a half as I can remember us having in a really long time.

It’s understandable given that under ETH we’ve mastered the art of losing / dropping points from the jaws of victory. The amount of tight games we’ve lost in the last 15 months is crazy. The CL run last seasons alone saw us play so many good games only to brainfart our way and lose composure, to losses

Andre Kagawa · Sep 21, 2024

I'd like Rashy in for Garnacho

People like you are mentally broken and should just step away from watching. Joyless.

Dec9003 · Sep 21, 2024

Great first half, big credit to the manager and players. We need to be a bit more ruthless up-front but with our squad I think that’ll be a theme of our season. I’m hoping we keep up the quality of play in the next half, even if we don’t end up winning the match.

George The Best · Sep 21, 2024

Great half of football from us. Just missing the goal or 2. Our build up play has been really good.

We have a bench jam-packed of talent, bringing any one of them can improve us. No reason to be pessimistic, so far.

If Erik plays his cards right, we should still win this game with clean sheet and high score

Get Rashford in

That's football. Players can have off days and it's fine to point it out.

The problem is the amount of overly negative irrational abusive posting we see on here these days towards the players

lex talionis · Sep 21, 2024

Good stuff, but we need to be more clinical in our finishing. We’ll scratching, but it won’t be the 30 lashes we should be laying on Palace’s back.
