    we look like scoring every time we go forward, but we look like conceding too.

    Malacia needs to just sit deep and tuck in, his positioning is wild
     
    That should’ve been 2 nil and going into half time a lot more comfortable, excellent ball from Bruno. Pretty shite first half other than the goal, pleased to see Eriksen open his Utd account.
     
    Should've rewarded ourselves with another goal but I think we're playing quite well. Hopefully we score an early one in the 2nd.

    Solid half. Bruno, Lindelof and Casemiro the stand-outs, Elanga pretty poor. Fulham are allright but we should be ahead by more.

    What the flying feck? Martinez has won pretty much every aerial ball in and out of the box, been the de factor ball player from the back and has been covering channel runs.

    Malacia and Elanga have been awful on the right but ask yourself why is there such a massive gap on the right side. Lindelof has been okay (your usual 'he's not made any mistakes') but he's been retreating into the box and not giving Malacia any support at all.
     
    It’s a tough game so far, Fulham have been great in transition and we have had to defend very well to keep them out. The best chances have fallen out way and I think we should have at least got a 2nd there. A bit of composure is needed, but we also need to find a way to control Fulham when they counter as well as find a way to protect Malacia who is working hard and has put in some good challenges, but is looking a bit shaken out there.
     
    We've created a fair amount of chances. But, it's difficult to control the game when you are so clearly lopsided. We have very little going for us on the right.
     
    We will never improve our GD with finishing like that . Harry Kane would have had a hat trick by now
     
    Last 2 matches has had teams push up to flood our midfield and it has somewhat worked but mostly thanks to injuries forcing us to field so many technically wobbly types. Our first 11 with Dalot and Antony alone would be game over in the first half. Shaw was also a huge miss last game.
     
    this time last week I said we'd concede inside the first three minutes of the second half... we really need to get a second quickly having missed all those chances. those are the types of chances arsenal have been burying and obviously halaand has taken with his eyes clothes and in his pyjamas!!
     
    Poor half but we could've scored 3 easily. We have our best 3 midfielders and a lot of pace upfront, so I'm not sure why we're pinned in our half most of the time.

    ETH will probably take Martial off around the 60 min mark and bring Garnacho on, but I wonder if throwing him on the right is worth trying, probably won't happen seeing as Malacia has been really shaky.
     
    Clear initial foul on Shaw yet boos ringing around the stadium. Seems like everyone is used to us getting nothing and are apoplectic when the ref gives a correct foul or yellow card, the ref has to go over it with the Fulham manager for 5 minutes.
     
    Very much looking a threat on the counter and with balls over the top but definitely need a second goal. Pleased for Eriksen and he had another great chance plus Martial also had one.
     
    Where would we be without Martinez. Without a doubt my favourite current United player.
     
    Clearly the plan is to play it over the top early and it’s worked in spurts.

    That right hand side is shocking, though. How it hasn’t cost us a goal yet is beyond me. I feel for Malacia as it isn’t really his fault. Elanga, however, has been woeful as predicted.

    Casemiro and the lanky Portuguese fella have been the best players on the pitch.
     
    Need to fix our right hand side, it was so poor in that half.
    Should really have scored another as well.
     
    Certainly doesn't help having the B string right side. Really missing Antony in there.

    Yeah Martinez has been good as well, forgot to include him. Victor has been fine, especially considering how poor Malacia is holding Willian down.
     
    They're really targeting that right side and getting joy out of it. Being left footed is really hampering Malacia that side and we can't build anything from that side. Dalot has really been missed this first half.

    We're very sloppy and not accurate enough in our passing. Defensively looking a bit shaky due to our right side being an obvious weakness right now. The midfield hasn't really gotten going, we haven't been able to take control in that area. We've still managed to create chances which is a positive.
     
    The usual wasting of chances. Will we sneak another one nil? Something has to change after the World Cup as we won’t be doing much if we continue to struggle to score every week.

    Elanga is pretty useless and Malacia having a torrid time down the right. Hopefully see Garnacho at HT.
     
    Elanga' s a bit of a blunt AND lightweight instrument going forward, so he might as well give Malachia more genuine support against Willam (who's looked decidedly sprightlier than in his Arsenal days) as opposed to the illusion of busyness. Also we need to be zipping those one touch passes more- Fulham winning so many 50=50s with half-hit attempts at interplay

    Has to be the most toothless and most dithering attacks in world football.

    Sancho, Antony are both out. Rashford cannot create, he can only shoot.

    If we had Varane at the back and Dalot at full back, I honestly think our attack would greatly benefit and we'll dictate play a lot more.
     
    Malacia getting destroyed at RB. Have to be careful there.

    Should really have another.
     
    How many chances are we going to miss? Seems like we have zero attackers who can shoot with their left. Wasteful finishing is again the only reason this is still a contest.

    We're losing the physical battles out there. Bruno and Elanga giving it away regularly isn't helping things either. But our defense has been solid and untroubled. The attack has had good moments with the amount of space afforded to us. Just need one of those chances to go in.
     
    Garnacho has to come on but also the drop off from Dalot to Malacia is aids. Elanaga and Malacia don't bring enough attacking drive to their positions
     
    We should have scored at least 3. We've not controlled the game, but we've made great chances.
     
    Malacia is struggling, rightfully so. I would try McT there as crazy as it sounds. No point taking Elanga off when Rashfords linking up with Martial so well on th left.
