I feel for Mata. Lovely guy and great professional but his best days are long gone. It’s like watching a walking football gameA 0-0 draw wins the group. AZ have put forth a fair amount of effort, looks like we really haven't bar maybe Pereira. If we put on a charge for 10 minutes at the start of the second half, we could put this thing away.
Yes,though his casualness makes me nervous.
Also,I didn't think he had a good match in the last EL game.
Most of the headlines were focused on his partner scoring an own goal but Axel wasn't impressive at all,imo.This is shocking from the players and Ole.
Based on this 45 minutes,nobody.Well that was 45 minutes of football I hope I forget about quicklyThe only positive things are, only 45 minutes to go.Juan Mata needs to get to China or MLS.
A draw is all we need. We can't afford injuries to the first 11 before the weekend. Tonight is just another illustration of that. It's the weakest squad we've had in my lifetime.I won't curse again but my god this has been awful.Yep we don't have a clue if teams don't offer us a chance to counter attack.Can't imagine that half will live very long in the memory. In fact it's basically gone already... Hopefully something a bit more interesting in the second half.
To be fair though, Larry's probably near enough 60 now!
Hopefully some of them are gone come the summer.
What forty five minutes of football?I won't be convinced Ole is ruthless until Pereira is sold
Agreed, that cross pass is basically the only thing he is good at. His infuriatingly selfish and then falls to the ground when all other options are gone. He is probably one of the worst players we've ever had.
I don't know.Horrible half. Players look clueless with the ball and we are just so static. It seems we train to pass backwards and sideways and hope we can somehow counter from that. Don't even know why I'm surprised or upset, this has been United under Ole all fecking season.Complete lack of runners and energy.
These players would be gone no matter who was manager. They are dross. And didnt Ole sanction a new mata contract?
Don't care, not good enough, or not experienced enough.
I hope Ole kicks some of them in the dressing toom.
Even if not one player has been decent, someone is still the best player. He has worked, won the ball a few times, and been energetic. That’s it, didn’t say he was great, it’s been poor.Our football is so crap at many times. Our movement at times is not good enough and our passing is shocking.
Will be very hard to win the europa league and we need some luck to do it. The key to us is Mctominay, Fred and Pogba. We are going to need them more than ever. Rashford too of course for the goals.
January too soon?
Aye, it's not good is it.
You have to feel for young Garner though. Imagine being asked to partner both Matic and Mata in a midfield 3. It's the stuff of nightmares.
Newcastle and Burnely soon in the league. Things can get ugly fast again if we don't beat Everton.Michael Owen slating Martial.
Really? Because the likes of Young and Matic were first choice under the previous manager before Ole
We said that for seasons and every new Manager would do the 'evaluation' process which lasts for a season before anything is ever done.
As for Matas contract, its similiar to Youngs, stop gap contract to patch up a squad that had heavy changes in the summer already. Can't do it all in one window.
Stop, stop, we have enough injuries.I can see us dilly dalling with ball, concede a goal and then wake up and start playing football and score a few, or we end up second in the group and get Inter in knockout stage.
The issue with this team is simply that the players aren’t good enough. You can’t have Matic Mata Young a rookie centre mid who is no prodigy and a rookie left back who’s the same, plus someone like Pereira who ain’t good enough, and expect anything.
Actually if we had the players out on the pitch able to press and resist their press the counter attack is on, AZ most certainly aren't playing any form of low blockFred on for Garner, Rashy on for Peirera and bye bye AZ.A team of mata, pereira and Matic? What could go wrong.
the fact is though we literally have nobody else unless we play our first string. Insanely poor depth in this squad.
So what are you saying; -- are we playing like shit or for a draw or both? Also, the squad thing is a load of horse piss, you need to stop using it an excuse. You'd think we were playing teams of the highest echelon. We're not.Martial played like Messi, but without skill, vision, and finishing.- Status
