    Starting to think Lindelof actually covers for Maguire more than we know

    Thank feck finally people are starting to realise Lindelöf is a very good defender. He helps prevent these kinds of issues purely with positioning.

    Yes he doesn’t dive in but he marshals players into easier to defend areas or at least slows the counter down long enough to get out shape back.

    I feel sorry for Tuanzebe as Maguire and Henderson should be helping him out with this.’

    VdB hasn't done much wrong but he hasn't done much either.

    What is his strength exactly? Other than one touch passing.

    He’s more observable in a team that have midfielders who pass and move. Ajax were like him in the middle of the park. Pass and move.

    Issue is that he passes to McT and moves then McT takes 4 touches and passes backwards. So it looks like he’s not affecting the game much.
     
    Missed the first half. Current scoreline aside, how have United performed?
     
    Part of maguires problem is he doesnt release the ball fast enough. Even when he takes a touch it feels like eternity. How do we resolve this in the future?

    Tuanzabe isnt as good as he was against PSG, but hes learning some valuable stuff. You'd expect a vastly experienced 30+ DM to be helping him rather than hindering. The other 3 have been okay, not great.

    First goal was a shambles of disorganization and Matic doing exactly what he cant do. 2nd started with Mata doing the opposite of what hes in the team for, a terrible poor first touch and losing the ball in a bad area. They were fairly clever in their attack and countered with efficiency

    Oh Tuanzebe isn't the problem here. The problem is

    a- a ridiculously high line that can't sustain the likes of Matic and Maguire who are incredibly and painfully slow.
    b- lack of leadership.
    c- quite frankly Maguire is massively overrated.

    I'll be pissed off if Tuanzebe gets the blame. Sure he's so green that he pisses grass but his pace is needed at CB.
     
    Unless Axel is injured that is an awful decision. Now no pace at the back, cue lots of balls over the top, and more goal chances for the Turkish team.

    They’re both average to be honest. They’ll have a good game here and there. Let’s not forgot the Lindelof masterclass vs palace.
     
    Look what VdB is doing, drawing the midfielder in which creates space for a player like Bruno to play in yet we are not playing to that kind of strength.

    Utterly bizarre when you think that is what we was doing at the end of last season.

    Exactly.
     
    VdB will be awesome against high press. This guys rarely lose the ball, quickly release it.
     
    Incapable of passing to a team mate, mata AWB matic and martial all in space of 1 minute.. doing my head in these players
