Get off your high horse. He’s clearly not up to it.

I hate Dean more than anything in football.

mitchmouse · Jul 19, 2020

Can't hear those people who told me I was talking crap about the line-up...

always_hoping · Jul 19, 2020

That drinks break was needed. These slow starts are all too common for United lately.

ManUnitedCanuck · Jul 19, 2020

No control from the man in the middle, it's a disgrace

Every time we get possession they foul and he does nothing

Pexbo · Jul 19, 2020

James is pedestrian. It’s genuinely like having 10 men.

DrRodo · Jul 19, 2020

cnuts, stop kicking bruno

what did de gea do?

PoTMS · Jul 19, 2020

Bruno needs to play deeper.

Bojan11 · Jul 19, 2020

I’d rather have played Ighalo than James.

We have been absolutely atrocious so far. Not one bright spot.

Ugh

Lindelof looks good.

Ole will be fine with this. 2 days less rest. We'll defend for 60, hope to nick a goal, then bring on Pogba, Martial and Greenwood to win the game.

Is that the plan?

Has me fooled

James acts like a dear in headlights the moment he receives the ball.

The only thing he's got is pace and he never uses it. So frustrating to watch he needs to utilise what he's good at.

What? He's barely played. Did you mistake my comment as referring to Wan-Bissaka?

Apologies. I did indeed!

I've spent so much time moaning about how tired he looks that it's clouding my ability to see anything else!

AaronRedDevil · Jul 19, 2020

Wrong game plan for this match. Seriously need Greenwood up front and change the formation.

JTW95 · Jul 19, 2020

Chelsea goal is feeling inevitable I hope this drink break changes something

red4ever 79 · Jul 19, 2020

Ole and Carrick smiling, looking like they are going for a dinner together

Teams have now started pressing us high up since Southampton showed how effective it can be.

We have to be in possession to be pressed

Nori- · Jul 19, 2020

Drinks break. Going to grab some salted peanuts

horsechoker · Jul 19, 2020

Chelsea are kicking us a lot. Seems like they're deliberately trying to injure us

He's not a premier league player, I'd rather Ighalo of started.

Dunno what more Ole needs to see of James.

Iggy never loses

I really don't understand why this is not the case. Very odd.

Shane88 · Jul 19, 2020

We have a great first 11 but Christ, when we have to dip into the squad it shows how bad it is.

SuperiorXI · Jul 19, 2020

Need another midfielder, they're over running us

Ighalo not Greenwood, need a presence who can hold the ball

Denis79 · Jul 19, 2020

Doesn't look too promising so far. We need to string a few passes together and go from there.

DarkXaero said:
We're too reliant on Bruno to make something happen in this lineup, but he's just not in form right now. The attacking threat is non existent because of the fullbacks we have, and using up one of the attacking positions on Dan James.

Eh?

bleedred · Jul 19, 2020

Stop trying to play out the back. We are useless at it

Ainu · Jul 19, 2020

It's not working, we'll get nowhere without tactical changes. That said, Chelsea's significant extra rest is surely having an effect as well.

I think if you offered to go straight to penalties Ole would probably accept. We're trying to keep it tight, I hope we can hang in there and offer more in the second half.

I think we need to quickly realise he is a failed gamble, he’s just quick with nothing else in his locker

Has no footballing brain. Just runs in random directions at random times and his runs are always poor and behind players.

Ronaldo's ego · Jul 19, 2020

It feels like one of those European ties where the opposition are levels above. Chelsea are an average side though

He should come on the last 15 mins only

Maguire struggling with Giroud ffs.

Drop bruno little deeper, replace james with Ighalo and play with front 2 instead of middle man.

Bojan11 · Jul 19, 2020

Giroud is the sort of player Maguire should be dealing with.
