The match has been crap but the atmosphere at the OT doesn't help.

Sounded like it was rocking pre game or was that all piped in from turned up mics?

Garnacho and Rashford are so frustrating to watch. They don't think at all before they play. Ridiculous.

In any given game the amount of counter attacks our front 3 mess up if staggering, and that’s not even adding in Bruno’s mess ups.

Poor game. Chelsea are a lot better than us and that is evident.

Think both teams have been poor tbf

Are they getting blaked in the sky studio?

Giggling over nothing as they came back on air, then sure I've just heard glasses clink as it went to adverts

I wondered what that was...

The puzzling part is that when Ten Hag first arrived, many fans were already calling for a deep-lying playmaker—someone who could control the game from midfield. This was even before Casemiro joined. Now, a couple of years later, we're still buying ball-winning midfielders, yet lacking that creative, press-resistant presence in the center.

Take Ugarte, for instance. He might thrive under Amorim’s system, but without two press-resistant midfielders, any team can simply target the weaker link—the one less comfortable on the ball.

To be fair to EtH, his No. 1 target was De Jong, a player we've been been in dire need of since Carrick retired.

Having Ugarte is fine if he's surrounded by technical operators. It's a lack of balance as much as personell.

Why Is everyone piling on Neville? It’s pure groupthink. He’s not that bad is he?!

You’re talking about one of our best ever and most loyal servants.

I don't get the vitriol. At least show the same level of anger towards his scouse co-commentator who spits at children.

I think we need to replace the fans, they needed to go with ETH.

Maybe the armchair fans blaming match going fans for the clubs fall are into something…

As a former match going fan, it’s always been shite apart from some European nights. Away days are totally different, though.

Old Trafford atmosphere is a real disappointment.

Oscar Bonavena · Sunday at 17:33

I swear to Christ, if Amorim does nothing else as United manager than take Bruno off the free kicks, we should put a statue of him outside OT.

Banana Republic · Sunday at 17:33

GN is right, Ugarte needs more games.
This is only his 2nd PL start.
He made a few mistakes in the 1st half, but he also having a positive impact, otherwise we’d be totally overrun in midfield.
The lack of cover for both CM players is a serious worry.

Insanity · Sunday at 17:33

ETH's shite recruitment has really left us behind. We'll need to spend a lot of money on the midfield & attack while at the same time trying to get rid of the shit he has accumulated.

I don't envy Ruby. It's going to be tough.

El Jefe · Sunday at 17:33

We haven't been great but it's clear that ETH was making the team worse than it really is.

Our midfield 2 plus Bruno have done some good stuff but it has to be in the running for the most wasteful midfield unit when it comes to passing. Each of them is extremely error prone with their passing, especially when pressed.

Not sure how a coach can sort that out except for not playing all of them together.

Some pretty negative reactions here. You realise we're playing Chelsea, not a second-string Leicester side right?

We still expect to see more at home to them.

Annoying that they keep on about the Chelsea penalty shout. It was a blatant push by Madueke on Casemiro at the front post and should have been a FK out.

Mazraoui has been good. The rest have been very average. Feel like we need Eriksen's composure in MF.

Yeah and nothing on the Chelsea tackle in the box on Rashford ?

I think that's called a joke.....was actually pretty funny

Also shows he doesn't watch GB. Can't see super serious right wingers making a joke like that :lol:

Felt like watching an half from ETH days

We are still in them really but with a slight new manager bounce and players in a better mood.

Rojofiam · Sunday at 17:33

I think we'll win this.

Catt · Sunday at 17:33

United never do new manager bounce properly

Well, we have the same overrated players. Go figure.

Walters_19_MuFc · Sunday at 17:34

Stadjer said:
Well.. ETH wanted Frenkie and Frenkie might be the most press resistant player in world football. We also do have Mainoo who is also very press resistant.

I get it. Why didn't he build on that then? Why did he not get someone similar? Why go in for Mount the season after who is not even close to being similar to de Jong?

djembatheking · Sunday at 17:34

Decent enough half, need to stay in it now, no silly mistakes early in the half.

For who? We have kids on bench.

A young player or a central defender. Martinez at central midfield would be better.

The way he breaks up play in the centre or high up the pitch is sorely missed in our team, so for that alone it is worth continuing to play him.

Flogging a dead horse, but he wanted Frenkie de Jong and when it became abundantly clear he was never happening didn’t target a single player of a similar profile… For the next three seasons.

Hojlund et al needs some coaching. Ruud should be spending time with them to show them where the goal is.

You say that, but the club were responsible for Casemiro and Ugarte, and it’s like watching mcFred all over again.

OK then - they've got a world cup winning CM to bring off the bench while we're currently reduced to two untried teenagers.

Try another one!

mitchmouse · Sunday at 17:35

talking about commentators, can Sky really not find someone more alive than Peter Drury...? I'd prefer Jonathan Pearce!

2 man midfield · Sunday at 17:36

Should be a yellow for James

Martial'sEmergingSmile · Sunday at 17:36

Neville literally goes silent for 30 seconds after an embarrassing dive from brave Reece James.

mitchmouse · Sunday at 17:36

who is the tosser referee?

Biggest issue with Hojlund is how he gets to the goal, has a very ineffective influence in the build up and in a team without a fantastic midfield there's no feasibility to cover for that weakness.

We should be the ones showing the fight, at home and players looking to impress the incoming manager, but we've been far too passive. Hojilund up front isn't helping at the moment though, he has no spark.

It's crazy but I'd actually rather listen to anyone but Neville on our games and that includes Carragher right now..... madness
