    Boring, boring United.

    The most worrying part is that I thought that it's Darmian and Rojo who were the most 'creative' of players on the pitch. Very little creativity from midfield, Pogba underwhelming again. Him and Martial need to learn to release the ball faster instead of trying to wrestle with whomever tries to tackle them.

    Funnily enough he did a few attempts at one twos, one a good first touch pass to release rojo to the wings in space but wasted it with a shit pass, one with rashford in close quarters who gave another shit pass back. He gave up on his teammates me thinks.
     
    Oh and this is a 4-2-3-1 not a 4-3-3. Not that it makes much difference at this stage. We would be poor in both set ups.
     
    Well, that wasn't very fun. I suppose I'm hopping for Fousa, Ibra and Young to come on, not sure who else would add a spark. Please, ohhh please don't bring on Depay. I don't think I can stomach watching him today.

    We're standing right off them and it's clearly tactical. I'm not a fan.

    Rojo and Darmian need to sort their first touch out, quick. It's bouncing up every bloody time.

    I agree, I think it comes from the manager. It's quite similar to the City match, IMO.
     
    Think we need to push Herrera or Pogba closer to Rashford if we don't make any personnel changes. He needs support because at the moment he's lost up there by himself.

    Also, it's not that Darmian has done anything wrong, per se, but you really notice how much work Valencia puts in on that right hand side when he's not playing.

    Darmian hasn't been poor. He's just become one of those players that are easy to criticize here. He had a shit season after his great start last year but he's been fine today so far.
    Rojo however has no knowledge of how to play a mid-range pass.

    Exactly, mindless criticism. Darmian will not bomb down the wings. He's been Ok. The Darmian-Mata combination isn't the best imo. Darmian needs a flying winger ahead of him.
     
    fecking Rooney and Fellaini messing up all our attacks. If we only would play a 4-3-3 with Mata and Herrera instead of those two we would destroy every team on the planet.
     
    All joking aside... Pogba looks uninterested. Rashford isn't leading the line well. Darmian, well, I don't even know what to say, he's just horrid.

    To be fair LvG would be getting bashed for this first half performance. We've been dreadful.

    It's not just this match though, I remember I was angry with Pogba because of it before too, same goes for Martial this year. It's like a kid in a playground trying to prove a point that he's the strongest.
     
    Right now we are Europa League level, so is it really that unfathomable that Feyernoord are giving us a good game? Do we really have to start doubting Pogbreaths credentials after he's only played a few games for us and an entire new midfield today? The only negatives I see from the first half is Fellaini and Rooney do not justify their position in the starting 11 at all. Invisible all game and for all the height advantage we have they win feck all of their challenges.
     
    I was nodding off a few times, but somehow I managed to stay awake. Dull ugly football. Sitting too deep. slow passing, inept and useless in the final third.

    Van Gaal will be delighted! :lol:
     
    Wouldn't the usual 4-2-3-1 with Pogba as #10 be more effective tonight?
     
    Rojo isn't even average. He is complete shit. Even playing for Hull they'd be sick of how shit he is. How he is turning out for us is a disgrace.

    Except Pogba was superb for Juventus and is considered one of the world's best by most coaches. He needs fast one touch players around him. Get him closer to Martial and Rashford and you'll see.

    He wasn't the world beater for Juventus that people make him out to be. I'm not saying he wont be good for us, I believe he has it in him but the game looks to quick for him at the moment, he takes to long on the ball.

    Nobody has said that, have they? Plus, Herrera has performed so far.
     
    I don't understand how Pogba is rated so highly, everytime I've seen him bar the Southampton game for 4 years he's invisible 80% of the game.
     
    Just walked in, anyone care to say how Rashford is doing? BT said he's given the ball away 11 times but hasn't been bad.
     
    Schneiderlin and Herrera have been very good.

    We need more physicality up front. Rashford and Mata are struggling a bit.

    Not really, actually this is has been a bit predictable. We're still a team without identity in terms of football. No real idea of how we are supposed to play.
     
    We haven't turned up in the 1st half in any of the games we've played so far this season! So while expecting a better 2nd half, this surely can't go on. Otherwise we'd get punished like we got against City.

    Some players are a bit rusty which is quite expected considering they haven't had any minutes under their belt. But the way we just back off and back off is really frustrating. Giving them too much space and freedom to play the game. Need to be more aggressive and try to win the ball back in their half.

    Typical performance, moments of explosiveness but he gives the ball away too often which is why he will never be a United starter

    Are you always this negative

    Jesus Christ he was fantastic for us in the games he's played in and now he's having an average game you think he isn't good enough for the first team
