Light years between on the two teams play despite us having superior players. We are just letting everyone do whatever they like. Even our chances, we should have looked up to see players in better positions to just pass the ball into the net. No instead we take shots.
It is time to go really.
He is another whose levels have dipped
There were times when the gap was unbelievable, the front 4 have been lazy and poor.
I think Sancho would help.We're playing a lot better than against Leicester. Created some decent chances and would have created more but final balls from Bruno and others have been off.Gasperini is showing what a fraud ole is with this "united way" rubbish, it's the manager in the away dug out that has his team resembling far more like the united way that we saw under fergieyOu’RE aLL sO neGaTiVe!Bruno has to come off. Rashford does not look 100% ready. Take them both off.Greenwood absolute passenger this half. Completely invisible, Fred is lively and has created two big chances, sadly the best one was on his weaker foot.
Rashford 3 sitters, Ronaldo frustrated, but lively, more than last 2 games.
Fernandes, doing his thing, risky balls forward.
Shaw, Lindelof, Maguire and AWB are the 4 worst players on the pitch as of this moment. Both goals came from their poor positioning, sense and lack of ability in every aspect needed in playing a professional football match for Manchester United in the CL in a must win game.
Nevertheless, don't call for Ole's head just now, we could've had AT LEAST 2 goals if our players had their shooting boots on.I went into this match believing that a draw was well within our reach.
One of those where a player takes time, looks up and sees attacker making a run and plays the ball over the top sort of desperate hoofballs?
What?? They're missing 5 first team players???
Fecking sack this entire pathetic set upThing is, we could have had 3 or 4 goals. As usual, however, no cohesion, no balance. 4 attacks and the rest.
No he isn't. Some of you are hysterical even for match day thread standards.Scholes blaming the formation
At least everyone is in agreement!Blaming a little push for the 2nd, Ole doing he’s best impression for the cameras to show why they conceded. We are playing there fecking B team… Ole needs to walkNot a bad performance given the circumstances, must improve.The worst part is that I felt numb watching that first goal, like it was expected. The lack of defensive organization is astounding. It's not as if Atalanta are doing something radically different either. They had one plan and we couldn't stop it.
We've not played badly in attack but it's clear to see one team who play as a whole team and one team who play as three separate units in attack, midfield and defense. Still, we've had decent chances which is why I'm hoping for a miracle in the second half.
team Zizou vs. team Conte
It is all about bad attitudes. Players who think they are it whose form has consequently dipped and a coaching staff who haven't a bloody clue
He's essentially blaming Ole without directly blaming Ole.Who’s scholes going to blame tonight?/honestly what has happened to us at the back? We weren't great but definitely not this awful.
I think the formation is fine, but Greenwood on the right just isn't working. If only we'd bought a right winger in the summer...It's a good job our next game is an easy one.
Shaw has been an embarrassment.
Actual problem is none of our two defending midfielders can send penetrating forward passes. Two wasted positions. Given that reality, I agree, at least Bruno should drop deeper and play nearer to McT and Fred.Actually think if we score before 60mins (within conceding before that) we will win
Id take Conte. He would have no fears to drop anyone even Ronaldo who isn't cutting it
Yea it sounds like nonsense numbers.
Ole shot himself the foot by saying 4-2-4 tbf.How many pundits, tactical analysis, game reports, data statistics, podcasts have I listened to since Saturday, where people have said that United are playing too narrow, which is so easy to defend against. Atalanta only have to mark the D, because we produce nothing at all down the wings. Rashford and Greenwood both cut inside and run into the area which is heavily marked. Get someone wide who can take people on. Who can get crosses in. Someone like Jadon Sancho. We need to get round the back of them, just like they did to us for their first goal.
Why can't anybody else at the club see this?Someone needs to introduce our players to each other.Bruno the only one doing anything, created 3 chances on a plate which we all missed.
Horrible finishing.
Exactly there missing players and we concede 2 6 goals shipped in the last 2 gamesThis isn't even Atalanta's strongest side neither are they even playing that well
Good vibes won't win gamesHair dryer needed at half time. Make some subs, score 3, job done. Easy.Their defenders have been terrible at defending long balls, let's get Pogba on to pick them apart.- Status
