Watching United games is a completely different sport to any other football12 first half’s we have not scored in open play? Not shocked at all.
Who's that? Blatter?Pathetic tactics - play as many back passes as possible and stat pad the possession.Bruno clearly frustrated with the movement. Feel like we need Eriksen on. Him, Amad and Bruno offer much more creativityWe’re so fecking bad. I can’t wait for this era to end.
I think he’s probably well aware there Mitch. In fact, I think he’s actually literally told us about the pain and suffering and how he would have preferred to join at the end of the season, rather than at the mid point. But the geniuses in charge had different ideas.This system with these players will achieve absolutely nothing. Terrible game, but you know what? Boring 0-0 games might be our best route to points right now.pound for pound the most impotent expensive side ever assembledCompare the way Amad plays in this system to Garnacho, it's two completely different universes.
You have Amad drifting between central positions, waiting for overlaps to connect with his wing back, and trying to play one-twos with the central midfield pair and his striker, and then on the opposite side Garnacho is just hugging the touchline.Back Pass United - Fulham 0-0 into the half.Such a low quality side, man. It’s remarkable what ten Hag cooked up with three summers worth of freedomWell, that was boring as feck.
Player who were shit already+ awkward system= Recipe for a disaster.
Mind you it wasn't great before but at least most of the team were playing in their more "natural" positionsWhat the feck happened to Hojlund. He was not this bad before. He loses every duel and even balls into his feet he can’t do much with. Everytime we have the ball in a crossing position he makes the most stupid runs ever
In theory, but when you look at some of the XIs he was sending out...Might be caught up in the exitment, but I reckon that Hojlund might manage a goal before the end of the season
It's a weird comparison anyway because by most accounts ten hag had us set up terribly so seems reasonable to expect an improvementFletcher on TNT getting hard any time it looks like a United player has committed a foul. He's such a twat.
Martinez is the only player finding those passing lanes into the front line. Hojlund has been really poor.ETH football but with an extra defenderUtmost respect to the away fans travelling for this crap.Why do we not show any urgency? Come on? Wake up!Doesn't matter what system you play when you move the ball this slowly without quality.0 shots… by us
No threat
1st gear
Bore fest
Fulham not great but at least forced a few saves.This team is in dire need of a centre forward. An average one improves us considerably.such a crap game but that's actually good for us. Fulham look so limited that it would trully surprise me if we manage to lose tonight. just endure their pointless crosses to space and score somehow as I don't see them matching it.
they have some pace but you can see they're fairly low IQ side devoid of any quality in attack.Took 42 minutes for Hojlund to control and hold up a pass into him. So frustrating, can't build anything at all with him in the team. Everything breaks down.I'd imagine Fulham will be better in the second half. Not sure about us.The joy of football has gone. That was awful.Well that was shocking.we've been ok, but there's little threat up front. Game went flat for last 10 minutes
Nothing's happening for Hojlund. Expecting Traore to come on and just run at usWhat are they doing on training ground? Everything looks horrid at the moment.I’ve had no electricity since early Friday morning. I don’t need to be watching this depressing shit in the dark with a torch.We should just play anyone as a false 9 if Zirkzee is not playing. No holdup play from Hojlund at all.Don't think I have missed much. There's still time to stick the NFL on
I don’t think the system really matters that much when in the final third players constantly give the ball away, take a poor touch or make a bad decision.
That half emphasised it’s not the system or lack of effort from the players, they are just very ordinary.Can’t the players just pretend we’re losing so they can start playing? Might turn it back on in the 75th minute when it starts getting good.Credit to the Fulham defenders, as they’ve been able to shackle one of Europe’s deadliest hitmen in that opening 45. lolAt least the game will put me to sleep....need an early night
