Nearly 2 down, Maguire again at fault near the end of the half conceding possession.
Looks like all the players need some smelling salts and a slap around the face with a large wet carp.
So far
He is competing against himself
Who else are you going to play instead of him?Maguire looks awful and not fit. Rushed back for sure.
Pogba looks like his usual self. Total liability yet people will continue to delude themselves.
Ronaldo barely getting ball. Sancho doing nothing.
It's a real mess.Tielemans is running the match. But then I suppose that isn't really a difficult prospect against a team with no midfield or ability to play out in possession or structure an effective organised press.
Is that all you can offer? His range of passing, positioning and overall play in this game is better than anything McTominay has mustered this seasonMatic has been very good. But we seriously lack rhythm
Apparently he only started training yesterday which begs the question: why did he start today?
He’s been really good so far this season.For the players we have, we are not very good. Sad really. No identity whatsoever. Just a collection of very talented footballers making it up as they play.
Think they said there are 70-80 players across the five big leagues who cannot play this weekend because they travelled to South America.
He gets such an easy pass on here but in all honesty he's been all over the placeAnother game another shit performance, another wasted week. Just end this misery.
I'm not just talking about this match, just overall. Best teams wants more from their defenders and fullbacks both attack and defend.
With the way things are going, I would not even keep him as a sporting director now that we have people working by committee like a DOF would do. I'm just done with his bullshit, both professional and personal.
If it wasn't for the fact that he has been living off the last 22 years on that special moment for the club, there's no way he would get a job at such level. He's like Jason McAteer living off the glory of the big goal for Ireland against Holland, as Roy Keane would say.Maguire really shouldnt be playing.. especially against a side like Leicester. Bizzare.. unless Bailly isnt fully fit either..
If Bailly is fit and cant get a game here, why is he even at United?
This is another garbage game.. We'll probably still nick it.Slightly better than the first halves against Villarreal and Villa, worse than the first half vs Everton. Our passing and our pressing are both very poor generally and that was on display again in the first half.
The game is there to be won. We need to control the game better and stop giving the ball away so cheaply.
.... You know who are manager is right!?we're a horrible football team
Cheers. So the first reply was sarcasm. Noted.
I wonder how long it will take for Bailly to start talking to the press again.
When did Bailly talk to the press? I don't remember that at all.Completely outplayed at half time. Midfield being walked through as always, constantly multiple people open for them.Maguire is absolute fecking shiite. Beyond shiite. IF he wasn't English, he wouldn't be anywhere near a top 6 team.
Because I think we trust an unfit Maguire over Bailly or JonesOle should take Maguire off at HT, should have never started. Just use Bailly, but he feels the pressure. He rushes back every starter
He's been this bad this entire season, even before his injury. Rushing him makes no sense, considering that Bailly (or feck it, even Jones) cannot be worse.A summary of our games this season: get outplayed by well coached TEAMS, struggle to create anything of substance and hope for some individual brilliance.
This cant carry on but given our fixtures coming up I guess the results will speak for themselves.
Has to be called, since week 3 he's been nowhere near what we were used to.
More like 2 -1 down with 85 mins to go Ole thinks maybe I should do something.
Keep that excuse in storage.Lethargic, Slow, Sloppy, static, unimaginative and lazy.Typical of our season so far. One moment of absolute brilliance, one brain dead mistake at the back, patchy build up play and the midfield is wide open. We can win for sure, Leicester look nervous when we get close to their box, but we need to go up a gear or two.Tough first half, Leicester have been the better team just about. Great goal by Greenwood and thought at that point we might go on and score again, but a stupid mistake between De Gea and Maguire + plus a fantastic strike by Tielemans, its another game, another goal conceded. Its going to be a difficult 2nd half, we are still in this if we can move there ball quicker and cut out the silly mistakes, our front line look like they can cause some damage today.
Mctominay. I imagine Tom Heaton could cover more ground if asked.We're just dreadful. Bruno has been ominous to bootFrustrating half. Matic looked decent, Maguire doesn’t look at the races at all
As good as pogba is in the right set up and a better player than teilemans, we would be better off with teilemans instead of pogba in terms of balance and fitting in the side betterEvery team we come up against plays better football than us right now.No midfield, Maguire a disaster and Bruno missing, poor first half. Can only see a defeat coming in this one.- Status
