Feyenoord 1:0 Manchester United

friend · Sep 15, 2016

The way we are playing this match, it seems like we don't practice any attacking play strategies during training (kind of like the LVG era where we would have absolutely no idea what to do with the ball when trying to attack).

Considering our PL performances have been much better, even if not spectacular by any stretch, it's a surprise we've looked so impotent against a team that is clearly not here to park the bus.

Second half can surely only get better.

He's a baby for goodness sake.

Isn't that the problem?

Such players have their uses. Not all FB bomb forward, it's unfortunate that Mata doesn't compensate for that given that he drifts inside leaving the attacking space unoccupied.

I'm starting to think we're just shit.

Pogba doesn't seem motivated at all for this game, dropping from the Champions League…

Let me guess, Ashley Fletcher is better ?

A bit harsh, he's only 18 and starting his first competitive game of the season for us in a team with 8 changes.

Feels like a friendly game, there is no intensity, at least in our game.

donkeyfish · Sep 15, 2016

I´ll take a fluke 0-1. Lets hope we get at least three points.

Not a great game. Not really that good either.

I have this feeling, though, that there is some potential not very far off. A lot of situations where marginal better precision would yield some excellent opportunities.

Feel a bit bad for Rashford, not easy to play lone striker like that - when the rest of our players are so deep. We can¨t really expect him to create something against 2, 3 or even 4 just by himself.

No one wants him I guess.

He'd be loaned out if he was that bad and no one wanted to sign him...

Mata off for Zlatan, so we can move Rashford out to the right. Possibly Memphis on for Martial

Memphis for Rashford. He's been useless and has less controll of the ball than Martial.

Memphis is shit

NJM78 · Sep 15, 2016

Mata on right sucks ass, always has. Too slow and always cuts infield. Just get Young or Depay out there as our fullbacks especially Rojo are poor. I still think there are plenty of more shit displays coming this season. Early days or not this team still lacks a lot of cohesion and we have too many slow players, really need Jose to earn his coin at HT and change the shape to get support to Rashford otherwise I don't see us getting more than a point from this game.
I actually predicted a Feyenoord win and nowt has changed my mind so far.

Memphis on for Herrera or Schneiderlin and move Martial up top please.

Ludens the Red · Sep 15, 2016

Feyenoord are decent and are very up for this game. It's 0-0.

Agree. Not that Mata has been bad, we just need more width

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.

He's had no support. He has to wait for an eternity for anyone to link up with him.

We're not playing with a number ten or a second striker by the looks of it.

Shark · Sep 15, 2016

Will we ever be good again? It's quite infuriating how poor our attacking play had been since SAF has gone. If Mourinho can't fix us nobody can.

Martial · Sep 15, 2016

Jacky Quacky said:
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

Pretty sure he just pretended to have lost control of his twitter account after he realised he'd get more (some) attention here.

OldTrevil · Sep 15, 2016

Martial, Herrera, Schneiderlin, Bailly, Smalling, Darmian all played well in that half

Is it Ibra time?

No Wayne, no gain?

Oh feck off!

AkaAkuma& · Sep 15, 2016

United really lacks players who have the attitude of a winner. Pogba has been MIA since the Southampton game. Without Shaw and Valencia our attacking powress has been less than halved. Rashford is still not ready to lead the line. Martial has been really disappointing.

Overall without Zaltan United looks balless in attack.

Oaencha · Sep 15, 2016

Thank you for the replies; all useful... in their own way!

Why is Rooney playing?! I thought he wasn't on the flight?

That's not playing the game. It is always the managers fault. Should have learnt that over the last 3 years.

Exactly, give Rashford a little more space to run with.

FFS we have spent over 500M the last 3 seasons and still play like shit :lol:

I thought nothing could be more boring than the first half but then we had Scholes' attempt at punditry.

notcool · Sep 15, 2016

Not seeing Rooney anywhere on the pitch. Has he been subbed off?

Android1974 · Sep 15, 2016

Were Ibrahimović, Fellaini and Memphis warming up?

Martial was poor. But not as poor as Pogba.

Dinghy · Sep 15, 2016

Mata on the right, whats the point...

Would rather see Young or Memphis given a chance and let Martial and Rashford swap positions.

You expected Mourinho to fix our attack?
Though I agree with you, we're fecking inept going forward and have been for a long time.

For god's sake he's only 18! How many games has he played this season? Why do our fans like to slag off our young players? How are they going to develop if they get slated by the fans when they should be supporting these young lads? And have you already forgotten his performances from the last season?

The Stain · Sep 15, 2016

"He should have put it in the other corner"

Ye, it's not like Martial had a defender right in front of that corner. Piss off, Hargreaves.
