We have top quality forwards but when you are playing against sides with better midfields week in week out it's going to be a struggle and renders them pointless.

Shows you how Ole really feels about his centre backs when Maguire gets rushed back, he looks way way off it and wouldn't surprise me if he costs us the game.Man, we’re just really not good at this playing football thing. It’s just a total and complete mess.
They have better manager/coaching setup, not better midfielders.
That’s more the issue than why Harry is playing I think. We are allowing them to play. Bruno seems the the only guy doing pressing.I said it before, this is going to be yet another wasted season. More of cheering on city to win the league over liverpool, yay!
Nope. All you ever do is posting negative stuff about our manager and most our players apart from a couple who don’t even play well. Oh and your repeated victim line
“If I speak …”Oh Harry Harry… Sancho once again passanger. Pogba is just making things gardet then what they are.
Don’t think We are bad but balance is little bit off, shaky Maguire and sloppy passing are why We are not infront.
Best player so far is Bissaka and Matic.
Feels like it happens when anyone plays.Not a great watch so far.
Midfield is our best combo when in possession, but arguably the worst combo when not.
But not in midfield where it counts the most.Awful half and extremely lucky to be level.
Getting battered in midfield, looks so easy for them to pass through our midfield.
AWB has done ok but that aside, very poor from every other player in a red shirt, special mention to Maguire.
Wish we could have last seasons Bruno and Shaw back too.Why do we keep playing out from the back when we are getting caught ever time? I saw Ole shouting long at a goalkick and the players ignored him and played it out againTime for a Saudi manager.
No we wouldn't, it is what was expected. 3 weeks is plenty to lose sharpness. Its not like this thread wasn't full of people predicting this.
The mistake is Maguire's fault, the fact he's on the pitch and we are getting outplayed in every position is yet again on Ole.HT - LEI 1-1 MUNSamuel Luckhurst

He may not have done so directly, but there were two occasions where it was revealed he was unhappy. I think there were some quotes just before he signed his new deal on the eve of some European game last spring. I forget when. He was moaning about not getting a run of games. So strange he got a new deal when he's not good enough, not fit enough, and Ole clearly does not trust him.
Absolutely this. Two sides who have good qualities but are nowhere near the level they each should be. Hard to see what we can do to up our game in the 2nd half.... maybe Donny time..Why are we playing with 4 forwards? Why is Bruno playing so high?
Our midfield is slow. It needs another body in there. Bruno at times is higher than Mason. Wtf.
Give it a rest. We have a better midfield than many teams in the league, and Young boys for that matter, and we still get outplayed.Sancho 70mil. God help us all. We have been robbed again.I genuinely want to cry watching this united side! God I miss the days under Fergie
We keep getting caught out in the full back positions, we progress so slow that the other team get set, and our midfield doesn't cycle the ball.
Do the Ole inners not see this every game and wonder why none of it is fixed?
Very Clear. Ole has spent damn near 400 Mill since becoming manager. We still play the exact same as when he took over and we were starting Perreira, Lingard, Mata and the likes. People on here assume spending 80 mill on another CM is the reason why we look outclassed by Aston Villa, Everton and now Leicester. This season we don't have the luxury of a Liverpool injury crisis and Lampard at Chelsea for half the season. We're gonna see this season that finishing above them last season was a fluke and not progress.Different game same shit. I am not even emotionally invested in our performances anymore. Just fecking win...that is all.
Basically been the story of United since SAF retired.I've had enough.
From the Leicester point of view.
They have been terrible in possession, what are you talking about?Its not enough to have no midfield.
lets put a dodgy CB in to help the cause.Decent half. Would be ahead but for one moment of individual brilliance.
Oh yeah, the way they've continually waltzed past him in midfield has been phenomenal. Are you even watching? Genuinely. There's a reason why they keep picking the ball up behind him.Maguire is a disaster and is being targeted hugely. He is so bad that targeting just amounts to sprint at him in a straight line and he'll do the rest.
0/10 performance.See guys, this is what happens when we play against a TEAM!!
Sancho has had one or two moments, one drive in particular looked particularly good to me. He's being fed off scraps though, we cannot get this midfield going at all so we're trying to launch it over everyone like we're Big Sam's Bolton.
That goal is just infuriating. I'm fecking sick of conceding comedy goals, if any opponent needs a hand getting back into a game we're always happy to oblige. Dogshit.This is a different set up with leaving them have the ball, which is OK they can't counter but when we're in possession need to be better with it, breaking down to easy, and errors again Maguire who's not match ready, to slow to ball. Bruno passing is off, Pogba looks OK, but needs someone a bit closer to him at times otherwise he's looks like losing the ball. And unless we get the passing right it's another long half.
Or get a new manager in who plays to the strength of the players he has?When’s the last time we put in a convincing dominant performance? Seems like it’s been a fecking age.
Your ratings are far too high.The only first half worse than this, this season was Wolves. I think we've done okay in some of the games, but this has been very bad. I'm glad McFred aren't playing. Our fans always blame them for every bad performance. It doesn't matter who plays there.- Status
