Quality's not been great so far... AWB and Zouma the only real bright sparks for us.Very inconsistent. Out midfield has been woeful, no presence. I hope we can iron out the easy ball playing mistakes and sharpen attacking.No end product. Midfield still shitSo disjointed from both sides. No real quality on display. Thank god for that penalty.Our attack is shite....Maguire and AWB look solid!Midfield may as not even be there, Lingard invisible as always. Back 4 looking solid at least.
or cutting notches on bed posts...Good to Pogba still sticking about on the ball and losing possession
We need to calm down.
Maguire and Wan-Bissaka have been very impressive.
Pogba, please keep it simple and change your boots.
Martial and Rashford need to stop overcomplicating attacks between each other.
Am I missing the jokeMaguire already class. Pogba shocking for the first 30 mins, got into it a bit later, but Chelsea almost scored from one sloppy pass.Get Matic on for Pererira who is useless and get Pogba further forwardGood spell after the goal but poor overall.Wan Bissaka is a beast. Completely snuffed out the right side of attack. Is this what it feels to have a proper RB.
Need to get James or Dalot at right wing to offer more threat. All our movement is through the left.Poor first half from us. We have been lucky not to concede, and looked second best for much of the half. Though 1-0 up where it counts at least.Wow, so abysmal.
Pogba in a deep-lying two: awful.
Lingard and Pereira: barely touched the ball between them.
Rashford: pen aside, absolutely atrocious
Martial hasn't had a look in either.
Pretty decent summary to be fair.Pogba and Andreas have been quite poor. We aren’t going to take Pogba off, but maybe James on for Andreas or Matic on and push Pogba up.Also while everyone is ragging on Pogba, i hate to say it but McTominay is once again letting the game pass him by. Relying on him to replace both Herrera and Matic may not be a great idea.Shaw is awful, we need competition there.Very low quality game... Both teams giving the ball away cheaply / being poor in possession. We are better since the goal but yeah, I'll be surprised if we keep a clean sheetWe need a defensive midfielder out there. I'd take off one of Lingard/Pereira and stick Matić on.You can see the lacking connection between our defense and our forwards. Our midfield is non-existent.Not a great half but at least we're winning.
Shaw weak link for me so far, too chunky to get back when they attack and he takes too long to get forward when we're countering.
Yep at least Pogba is trying things and is on the ball. The rest of our midfield is non existent. But yet people blame Pogba. Mental really.Poor so far and lucky to be ahead. Midfield looks non-existent, Pereira and Lingard just running around and Shaw playing like a coward whenever he's on the attacking half of the pitch. Hope it's just nerves and that they go out like a different team in the second half.
AWB and Maguire looking very solid though!On the + side I have AWB, Maguire, Lindelof and even McTominay
On the - side I have Pogba, Lingard who is invisible or hiding, Rashford, Martial, Perreira and Shaw.
Luckily for us Zouma is reckless and the post is with us.
We cant make it stick up front, very little presence from the front two. Against a solid backline they will get swallowed up.Not surprising, everyone in the world can see these things except United Management...Ole must be fuming and worried. Our midfield is shockingly average. Criminal that it wasn't stregthened, everyone with sense can see that.
Anyway that ship has sailed, it would be fine if I thought we could outscore teams but our attack is not much better. This press has not really worked either. Ah well no one will complain about it being boring this season.Sloppy and Lucky is the game do far.
But how about our NEW Boys? Absolutely bossing it!
We would probably be two nil down if that was young and Smalling.
It could, but the changes I mentioned are more like for like. We’d probably get Matic for Pereira, who could actually do less as he can’t take set piecesCan't wait until Matic, Mata and Young enter the pitch. Matic for Pereira Mata for Lingard and Young replacing a Shaw with cramp...Not too bad. Midfield needs to do more though and Martial and Rashford need to be far more ruthless. Lots of small errors from both teams but I will forgive that as it is game one and most of the games this weekend have had that. Big half coming up.We were quality after the goal, poor before that and last ten mins. Two enjoyable teams to watch but both with lot of mistakes in them.Can we finally abandon this myth of Martial being rapid? He's not fast, he's a good technical dribbler, but he's no speedier than Lingard. Rashford is rapid, James is rapid, Martial isn't even fast, he's got ok pace, nothing more. Pogba is faster than him.- Status
AWB was very good. Pogba had the most won duels.Man of the Match
