Nightmare half. Absolute nightmare. The team look terrified on the ball and I feel like we've just invited pressure and the team don't look they know where to be in defensive position. Horrendous Midfield performance. Can't believe Ten Hag got booed off at half time in his first game.Well that was shite, nowhere near the style we played in pre-season, very disjointed performance.
Some changes are needed at half time, Brighton totally more committed.Armchair managers UNITE!!! We need solutions...STAT!
GTFOUT with ArtetaWhat Keane is saying is right. We're really bad out of possession. Even if we sign FDJ, that isn't going to change. His defensive stats are not good.
Well I don’t mean by age, just out with the old. Like bellerin at Arsenal. Also a useless player from the Wenger eraBruno buries that chance and it's a different gameLooking like a Rangnick teamWatching that, we need a hell lot more than just FDJ & Sesko to even be competing for a top 4 spot, never mind closing the gap on Man City.Rashford- I've never felt better.
Can't wait to see him in action this seasonTbf we've seen most of these players for years, them being poor shouldn't come as a surprise.
We have got to involve Sancho a lot more, he needs to move to the left with most of our play through that side of the pitch but Bruno and Rashford have been pretty uselessWe needed 7 or 8 first team players and we got 2.
It's no shock we're still shit when we're still relying on utter dross like Fred, Mctominay Dalot, Shaw, Maguire etc
Not exactly swimming in other options is he.These players are nervy as hell. I cannot believe this hasn't been looked at. Just the wrong mindset. Brighton's team isn't much better than ours, so the players really should be performing better. It's all in the head for me. No way Ten Hag set out this lot to play like this.
SighThe midfield is the root of all of our problems. Our defensive problems are massively down to our shambolic midfield.As shit as United have been, it's been a fantastic performance from Brighton.
Fred and McTominay are an unproven midfield at United2 turn overs in possession 2 goals. This is what can happen if you do not concentrate when in possession. Mctom lost the first. And maybe 2nd when the boys bad he's bad. Look slow. It's a fecking mess 1st game ABUs will be loving this today . Don't put the radio on ffs . It's sack time .
But pre season is pre season...we need to forget this.
This is premier league football and we are being schooled by a team...a team who play as a team...a team who lost their 2 best players...
Anyone blaming ETH is totally clueless. He Will quickly realise who is good and who should be shipped out. He needs time and support and fans have to realise this
It's been pretty obvious what we should do and it has been for quite a time. Buy a new midfield and new forwards. We have done nothing of that sort though instead we lost the only footballer we had in midfield and the only footballer up front is sitting on the bench because he wants awayI’m very surprised that ETH has seen McFred through the whole of pre- season and thought it a good idea to start the season with them- pathetic
Exactly. They are so nervous.Pundits raving about Brighton midfielders. but they are far from world-class players. we are making them look brilliantIt is insane how at this club below average players get chance after chance to show how shit they are.
Where's the fecking ruthlessness?Remember lads, a massive part of this fanbase talk down signing the likes of Trossard or Caicedo in favour of useless YT highlight players they signed on FM22.
Insane.
Oh please,he’s the least of our worries!Maguires confidence has been shot to pieces,the full backs are taking off from where they left it last season!Our midfield is a disgrace….Laughable performance.
Hope they've got their excuses and Twitter apologies pre writtenWe have one decent, technical player in Sancho and no wonder he was the only one not doing stupid things when on the ball. Unfortunately he has to play with Dalot behind him and McT on his side of the pitch and thus rarely gets to be on the ball.
The fecker being in the squad is hardly a good message.. he should be in the reserves after sitting out all of pre season.Garner for McTominay
Ronaldo for Bruno
Malacia for Shawall stems from midfield. so open and easy to get through. madnessI expected a rough start, not the team to look like it did last season.Young player for Fred or McT pleaseNothing we didn't see under Rangnick so far. Our players default to loser mode as soon as they are challenged on the pitch and things don't go our way.We have a non existent midfield. We can’t play so openly with McFred thereIt's mctominay and Fred init. Can't defend, can't progress the ball, can't pass, can't control the midfield. Hurts every other aspect of the team.
what made him think Maguire should ever start a game?McTominay absolute crap and slows us down, loses the ball.
Pundits won’t mention it, but they’ll go on about Martinez height first chance, Maguire played the guy onside.- Status
