Pool doesn't look that scary with how we're setup. Game is there to be won, if we can up our passing accuracy.
Martial has been one of our best players though?
so was his defending!
Thiago gets through quite a lot of defensive work. Very contrary to the people that were adamant he can't function in a two man midfield.
Liverpool are excellent at continually winning the 1st and 2nd balls. Damn frustrating but got to admire it.
Love the look Keano gave him when he was done speakingMicah Richards' hairline is disturbing.
They’re playing with two midfielders at CB and two box to box midfielders ahead of them. Of course they’re there to be got at.Are they feck
Martial wants the ball to feet.Why are we so static in attack?
Yeah definitely. We need to keep this level up in the second half. We never get any success when we try to sit off teams too much. We need to get Cavani on up against Henderson too.Definitely getting more a foothold in for sure. Liverpool also faded a bit.
We need to not revert back at the start of the second half though. I hope its not one of them situations where we dont start playing until 70mins mark.
Or the Rooney one from a few years back? That game was shit too.
It comes to something when Matic, as slow as he is, is going to be a better option in terms of just keeping the ball than Fred or McTominay.Matic need to be brought on to help with the ball. All these runners in midfield but doesn't help when they give the ball right away and can't make simple few yards passes.
Our midfield is so poor on the ball that our attackers have been left to starve.
AgreeSome of you on here must be new to football.
We are playing the champs at their ground and the champs are Liverpool.
Its a typical United/Pool game. Intense, scrappy, not many chances, everyone trying hard but inhibited by the importance of the game.
We are doing OK. Defending reasonably well, just need to create more and take the chance when it comes. As it will.
had a good first half.Lindelof busy today.
5 clearances, 2 tackles, 2 aerial duels won, 1 blocked shot in one half.
You can't blame him for all of them, the midfield have been holding onto the ball for too long instead of releasing him
Big game pairing apparently.. bypassed as always. The caf overrates these two badly.McTom and Fred are a distinctly average CM pairing. This needs to be improved on.
Ole needs to show some balls and go for it. If you wanna win the league you need to go to places like Anfield and get a result.
Service?! He'd show for the ball and press.what does it change, same as Martial, he would get zero service
Could be need a proper striker Cavani.Are we playing a flat 442? Looks like it and i dont like it.

Ole not brave enoughBruno has lost his cool head and is rushing things. I would actually consider taking him off, get VdB on and push Pogba further up.
