I wouldnt be surprised if Martial is indeed faster than Rashford tbh.They're setting up well in midfield, we need Pogba to pick out those passes through them.
No thanks.15:25SAMUEL LUCKHURST
It's easy to see why Mourinho will look to make a change it it stays this way
Looking at United at the moment, they could do with Mkhitaryan. Lukaku, statuesque, is acting as entitled as Ibrahimovic when he hasn’t got anywhere near as much clout. As soon as Pogba gets the ball, the movement ahead of him is nigh on non-existent and Mourinho is furious down below us. He’s just berated Rashford, who’s also not been on it.
Rashford is also getting in everyone's way. He is also losing possession too much.
Shocking, we seem to be really poorly coached, it is like watching 11 random dudes in casual mode.Slow build up and standing off the ball. Not sure what the plan is to score - either a Martial wonder-run or a mistake?We’re so unbelieably slow, must be piss easy defending this, we’re hardly moving the ball aroundWhy does Lukaku struggle so much to win headers ?
I don't understand why his name crops up. He has done nothing to suggest he would change anything.Brighton are well coached. If we win today, it won't be by much.
His timing on jumps is consistently terrible.
Looks to be the case, Jose needs a really hard look at himself.15:29SAMUEL LUCKHURST
The reason why Valencia's struggling
Valencia has been carrying a knee injury for a while and it is showing today. United have managed him carefully, restricting his midweek appearances, but he just does not look right. His fatigue and conditioning has been an issue since March or April and, given his age, United maybe need to consider a right-back signing next year.
The irony is their alternative right-backs are on loan or out of the squad today
Exactly.feck me this ref is useless
Headers is a lot about timing and commitment, the defenders seem to want to win the ball more than he does.30 mins and not a single shot on target. Only one shot in total and it’s Lukaku’s row z shot in the 2nd minute, this is fecking boringMartial loves a good sighSomething is truly wrong when creativity has to be produced by Ashley YoungNo a single decent performance out there.Surprised McTominay's on the bench. In what circumstances would he be useful? And how is he a better option than Lingard or Shaw to break this game?
As Jose has been on the touchline going nuts with them, I don't think he wants them playing like this.Also wonder when we will get a skilled right sided midfielder/attacker. Rashford on the right is just a waste.What a bloody pointless half hour that was.
He thinks he can hang in the air then ?
He's very poor positionally, getting in the way a huge amount not so much by being hit by ball but blocking loads of potential 10-20 yard passesOur only attaking options seems to be to hoof it to Young so he can cross it in. It's shite.This is dull so farSeriously, we’re in 2017, why is Young at LB our most threatening player FFSIt's all individualistic nonsense what do we do in training?Lukaku has been really under parGlad they are getting soaked.even with the crappy stream, this is dreadful.
Our Midfield has probably cost more than Brighton's entire squad. Probably draws half of their collective wages too..So what does Mata do other than pass the ball a few yards sideways and lose the ball in dangerous areas?The torrential rain is the most exciting thing on the pitch.Static once again, no movement in the final third, absolutely overrun in midfield as a result.Hope griezmann not watching this. He will say feck this rain, i am going to barcaI have a bad feeling. Where's our passion?- Status
