Manchester United 1:3 Crystal Palace

Nothing new with James. All around game very poor, he should have passed to Rashford instead of shooting.

Rysty start with the whole team, many bad touches.

Terrible first half. Absolute dog shit. I dont know what Ole was thinking not playing the best eleven.

Scott McTominah does not have a brain cell in his head.

PLAY THE BEST feckING TEAM OLE. When you are winning four nil with ten minutes left then bring on James or McTominah.

Jesus fecking christ.

Making a point to management

Shaw has done some good stuff.

Agreed, he's so quietly quality. Looks far more threatening than Rashford, who is continuing the end of season 'winger that doesn't shoot, dribble or cross' form.

One of the worst games I seen McTominay play. fecking shambolic.

Really? He played worse than this. Truthfully he is not very good player. Squad player at best.

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.

Who do you play on the right if Greenwood isn't ready due to various misdemeanours though?

It's James, Mata or Lingard.
Or change formation

As per, but tbf you can see why he shot

The Boy · Sep 19, 2020

Feck me you look rusty

Godfather · Sep 19, 2020

And what a surprise that TFM, McT and James looked shit. Was Ole on crack when he chose that lineup?

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.

He won't do it. James should be off, because there has been nothing that he has shown for some time now that makes us believe he can improve his level second half. The rest CAN get better. But what is going to be said in that dressing room. Are there any leaders in there. Is there anyone who will get angry about this. Because this is unacceptable. First game of the season. They should be up for this. COME ON!!!!

Controlled most of that half, but need to get more players in the box to meet the crosses.

Mctominay - Passing isn't his greatest attribute, so this was always going to be a tough game for him since Palace scored early and then sat back.

TFM- Probably our brightest player in the first half, created lots of chances going forward and looked decent defensively.

Bruno - Not as influential as he used to be, lots of work rate but not enough creativity

Rashford - Good touches and link up play, returning to form looks like

edgecutter · Sep 19, 2020

Hodgeson has his team well drilled and they ahve only one player in Zaha that would make our team.

Ole has to do better and should be getting more out of this side. How is Dalot below Mensah (a guy that couldn't make palace's team)?

Fooza · Sep 19, 2020

Can this season end already? Already not looking forward to it....

Ole asks for Haland, Sancho, Bellingham. He gets Ighalo on the bench, James, Mctomiany/Matic/Fred/other meh players.

Siorac · Sep 19, 2020

As terrible as it gets.

We still wilt under any sort of pressing. We still struggle to break teams down without penalties. We're still too slow and sloppy when passing the ball in the opposition's half.

This is partly an issue of individual quality but also coaching. Sancho alone wouldn't fix shit.

Agreed totally but have changed slightly

It really does feel like we're waiting for something like that to happen. We're not forcing it at all.

Zen86 said:
The plan is pass the ball properly and don’t be shit, but we’re seemingly failing at that.

I would kill for somebody to come in and revamp the way that we just pass the ball around. Short passes, sharp passes, long passes, passes forward that split the lines, all of it.

Offside · Sep 19, 2020

Pogba just making the same brainlesss errors he was 4 years ago.

MonkeysMagic · Sep 19, 2020

Its just sooo obvious this Utd team barely gets any coaching from game to game but excuses are always about quality of players. Its my biggest criticism of Ole, he is no coach and his teams play like it!

Random Task · Sep 19, 2020

I cannot express in words how happy I'd be if Ole replaced James with Greenwood at half-time.

A man can dream.

We are still very average.

C’mon can we not do this yet :lol:

First game back, missing couple of starting 11 players.

I dread the misery in here more than actually losing the 3 Points

Sunny Jim · Sep 19, 2020

Lindeloff has been very poor.

Tony247 · Sep 19, 2020

We have wrong shape. CP are sitting deep and we have Pogba and Bruno to unlock exact similar defenses. Bring GW on for James and Donny for McT and may be we can turn this match around.

Harry190 · Sep 19, 2020

Fosu-mensah playing like Tofu-Mensa.

PeteManic · Sep 19, 2020

Usual shite.

RedDevilCanuck · Sep 19, 2020

Sums up Shaw - excellent passing and control but poor positioning for the goal and horrendous cross after a promising move he created.

Shark · Sep 19, 2020

Moyes selling Zaha is still something that bothers me to no end. Instead we have Dan James.

Leroy The Red said:
Said 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.

People are in denial about this. He's there because good coaches won't come to fight for fourth place. And that's the job.

Of course it is. We are at home and we still have a better team than Palace.

Is our lineup today really better than Palce?!
They even have a better and more experienced manager than ours.

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 games

You are being extremely generous to James and McTominay in my opinion. Awful.

PitTon · Sep 19, 2020

It's obvious we are struggling when our wingers could not take players on. Make a huge difference when they could keep and run with the ball. Just pace without football brain sadly.

SirAnderson · Sep 19, 2020

Rivals winning, rivals signing players...and we have this. Really depressing time right now. Need to learn apathy for this team, or it will be my demise.

Reddevildans · Sep 19, 2020

If changes are not made at ht I'll be furious. Why wait? Be ruthless. Put on ighalo and greenwood. Absolutely shambles so far. Pathetic

ken11 · Sep 19, 2020

Another season of snooze-ball imminent. No players apart from VDB to be excited about and that'll inject something fresh and world-class.

Have there been some injuries I’m not aware of? McTominay is not ready to play that DM role yet.

Bobcat · Sep 19, 2020

Greenwood and Fred on at 2nd half. James and McTomminay has been utterly diabolical

Edit: And maybe VdB for Pogba? The latter has been shite too

Paxi · Sep 19, 2020

I’m pretty sure they’ve got Lindelof and the granny mixed up. It was in fact, victor whom got robbed. An 80 year old granny chased after the assailant and got victor his purse back.
