For all the brickbats aimed at james etc, we still have a much better team on paper than palace. The difference is in the coaching.

That was dreadful. We're playing that like it's a testimonial.Donny & Mason on for the banter brothers McT & James. League One awaits these dead ballersIt’s not Ole fault that this happens. We have months to do transfers and yet only VDB came in to start this first game.The gap between midfield and the defensive unit is huge, Pogba and Bruno walking back, leaving Mctominay exposedHorrendously bad first half. Shite defensively, poor control of the game, poor pressing off the ball, a lot of running but no cohesive press, terrible creativity going forward. About as bad as the off season has been.Horrific half.
One of the worst under Ole.
We don't need signings to play better than that. That was a shocking performance.
Get Greenwood in right away.James only makes sense if there was something seen in training that showed something different to what he has shown since the autumn of last year. But there is no change. He still lacks big time. Bruno is off. Pogba is off. Martial is having one of those many missing days. Rashford has no purpose. McTominay has tried hard. This is a change two at half time job. But Ole won't do it.Defence isn't very good, midfield easy to bypass when Matic isn't around... Last season never ended.Jesus some of our players are cowardly. perfectly positioned players to receive a forward pass or even a sidewards pass but everything is backwards. Morons.Ole has lost the dressing room based on that half.More of the same from United.
Ole doesn't have any idea how to attack these sort of teams.Going to need a lot of comfort food tonight unless we start getting out act together.We can't play any worse than this in second half. With Greenwood and VDB coming on, things will look better I guess. 45 minutes should be enough time to get a result out of this.What fecking point is there in giving James another 15-20 minutes?
Just put Greenwood on.Can't believe I had expectations to see them play and waiting anxiously for our first game. We know we are poor in places but still, horrific absolutely
And some bad stuff. Sleeping for the goal.
Other teams are availableSaid this before and I’ll say it again we are one of the worse coached teams in this leagues. I don’t understand what are tactics are today or why our players are clearly lacking motivation and fitness.
Too many average players in the side and too poorly prepared for the season. I have said it before, this reminds me of Mourinho's meltdown season with the lack of preparation.Well that went every bit as bad as I feared with that lineup.
VDB on for McTominay, Greenwood on for Dan James. Within 1 minute of the second half starting please Ole.If Ole doesnt make any changes I'll be fecking fumingI mean Ole's not going to get sacked but if weve been shit for months, it's a performance like this that normally is the final straw for a manager. None of the the players except martial want to win.Imagine my surprise that a team that's not even all played a friendly together (loads missed the game) look shite.Palace is more advanced in their match fitness. We will win though.This club is f*cking depressing. Without our promising youth progress in recent months I'd be done with them.Dan James has to come off.
He's just nowhere near good enough, it's painful watching him.We're so predictable.
As always:
Donno what people see in TFM. He doesn't look like he has a left eye, only looks to his right.
Dan James is average
Rashford is playing with 400 ping as he needs 4-5 seconds to move with the ball
Martial missing sometimes
Lindelof still a dear in headlights
McTominay not meant for these types of gamesI'm going to the fridge. I need comfort food. And lots of beer.
Of course it is. We are at home and we still have a better team than Palace.Players like James, TFM, Lindelöf and McTominay should be nowhere near this club, let alone starting league games. We are never going to improve with these players and it's been obvious for some time, yet they are still here. It's just unbelievable.Greenwood on for James and VDB for McTominay, please. Need an instant reaction from Ole here.
My concern is how late Ole does his subs.
I hope the changes are made bang on 45mins now. Not at 60 mins, or 75 mins or whatever.Must keep our chins up, get some rest after the EUROs, get a couple of new faces in and we're back stronger next season!Desperately need to get TFM off the pitch, Baily on and lindelof to right back.Feel depressed. Thanks very much, United.
I think the ref is married- Status
