Manchester United 1:2 Crystal Palace

Dont be crazy to demand McT to be subbed and get Matic instead? Are you mad.

morbidsaint · Aug 24, 2019

Looked fine before they scored on the first ball they got out of their own half. After that goal... i don't know what to say. United looked clueless.

Devil may care · Aug 24, 2019

We started with plenty of tempo, good energy and pressing, the issue is the lack of craft but we all knew this team lacks that, for all their darting about neither Lingard or James do enough with the ball and McTominay offers nothing from deeper, plus Pogba has been poor and it just highlights even more that he's our only creative outlet centrally.

The double whammy of conceding a weak goal followed by Young coming on has deflated everything, Ole has some work to do at half time.

matherto · Aug 24, 2019

I'm a big fan of Lindelöf but he's had a mare there.

Shaw should've gone off, Ole should've demanded he went off and put Young on straight away. That way, Maguire isn't over on the other side it seems covering for him and can be closer to his partner and Ayew doesn't get a free run in on goal.

We've barely created anything for all the possession we've had, we're getting bullied on the pitch and we're gonna keep getting done on the counter like this. More likely to be 2-0 Palace than 1-1 so far.

Get Lingard off and get him away from the first eleven cause he does nothing, at all.

Not the right game for James either because Palace are just sat deep and he's got no space to run into.

Pogba is all we rely on and he's perhaps understandably having an off day so we're fecked basically.

Beachryan · Aug 24, 2019

Just saw the stats, 0 shots on target (don't think it's right personally, pretty sure James' was).

Big half for us.

Andersonson · Aug 24, 2019

This loss will be all Lingards fault right? Its not like Martial and Rashford has been piss poor... Its all Jesse!!!

Young hasn't done anything wrong yet. Of all the players you could have picked...

Did I say he'd done anything wrong?

Red Dreams · Aug 24, 2019

we could have used Chong today.

Zoo · Aug 24, 2019

Just seen the assist Maddison played for Vardy. Not in a million years could Jesse Lingard play a pass like that yet he’s first choice in the number 10 role for us.

Of course that Mourinho is fault here.

JOSE OUT!!!!!

freeurmind · Aug 24, 2019

We've been ok. Should have been a red card for Cahill. The goals will come as Palace tire.

how is magurie supposed to read that lindelof misses the header?

Maguire is supposed to be covering in the off-chance Lindelof is beaten there. He can't switch off and ignore Ayew like that. That's poor defending.

We are bereft of creativity. But we already knew that, so hopefully we will exploit our rare opportunities.

Lingard really should not be here, certainly not as a starter.

RedDevilCanuck · Aug 24, 2019

smalling doesnt lose that header

You don't watch Zaha every week then?

I see more talent in him than the players we are starting i.e. Lingard, James etc.

This is like Moyes reign. Started off with a 4-0 then just fell away from there.

Most fans could see this coming from a mile and a half away.

Organic Potatoes · Aug 24, 2019

Conceding one goal and a shot off the post from headers in 3 games as a CB is not a good look.

BlahRules · Aug 24, 2019

I cannot wait for OGS 80&85 mins subs. Top it off it would be Mata and Perrar or Greenwood but the latter would come at around 85 mins.

Why is that funny, mate? You wouldn't want a change of approach if this continues for another month? 'This' being a 'performance' of that standard and losing to teams like Palace at home.

You think playing youth is the key?

Because that's exactly what a good defender would do read the danger and be in a good position to cover it not lumber about twenty yards away

haha exactly. The same way ayew reads the chance, maguire should read the danger. There is nobody else around that is his runner to read. That is literally the only dangerous thing that can happen there, a flick on. Literally basic defending 101

Lennon7 · Aug 24, 2019

How’ve we been? Missing the game - not good losing at home to Palace with 0 shots on goal

I thought we spent all pre season working on fitness and energy levels?

That was the slowest and least energetic half of football you'll ever see from a professional team.

Already fecked from all the pre season hard work? let's hope not.

Ranchero · Aug 24, 2019

Id have Gomez for Lingard and Greenwood for McTominay and stick Pogba in holding roll. To hell with it.

You're saying what we're all thinking but no one wants to admit it because he's a chuckle brother.

To be fair for the first half an hour, Palace had 11 men behind the ball and there was no space to run into.

Can't believe the goal we conceded has opened the game up as much. Palace actually attacking now.

He's too busy covering a one legged Shaw who is marking their best player.

space · Aug 24, 2019

Same old crap. Going to drop points here. It will be a long season.

SirAnderson · Aug 24, 2019

I get that many are shitting all over lindelof and Maguire but honestly our problems are far worse up front. That moment would mean nothing if we 2 goals up already, which we should have been if we took our chances and also had any decent freekick taker.

kouroux · Aug 24, 2019

The whole team was bad, not one player played well except DDG

Ranchero · Aug 24, 2019

Ole has to sub half time. This is unacceptable

Big half for us.

The shot was blocked by a defender so maybe that’s why.

iHicksy · Aug 24, 2019

Get lingard off and Mata on. These are exactly the games he should be used in, when we have the majority of the ball and aren't trying to play on the break. Our movement up top is criminal. The amount of space on the right between the lines that isn't being moved into beggers belief.

el3mel · Aug 24, 2019

It's still early and we can still get something out of this but they're going to defend even more and we're absolutely clueless while attacking.

Red Dreams · Aug 24, 2019

Mourinho did say it.
We will struggle against teams that defend deeper.

Of course it does not help making mistakes like what led to the goal.

Admitting to having a problem is the first step

kidbob · Aug 24, 2019

Lingard off for Greenwood and go 442. They aren't doing much with the ball, we need to overload them with attacking players.
