Good first half, just needed a goal.

Should’ve passed Dalot

Awkward to pass it that short when running on to the ball at speed, I don't blame him for having a shot there

Siezard · Dec 5, 2021

Should ask Carrick to come back as assistant coach. Then Carrick can take over at the end of the season. Laugh Rantquit!

djembatheking · Dec 5, 2021

We need to be careful 2nd half otherwise Palace will steal this.

slored1 · Dec 5, 2021

Fred MOTM so far.

Houdini · Dec 5, 2021

Dalot > AWB

To who? Bruno had a player behind him. Rashford in front.

Just needs to keep it low and slow and no way the keeper gets it

RedRonaldo · Dec 5, 2021

Very good first half performance. Our best in a long while, we are in total control, great pressing and fast pace football. All we need is to score a goal.

DOTA · Dec 5, 2021

Promising. Need a bit more quality on the the final ball though.

Judas · Dec 5, 2021

That was throughly enjoyable apart from not scoring. Haven't been reading the thread, but if its not mostly positive in here I have to laugh.

We should be winning this, much the better team, hopefully we get the deserved breakthrough.

Sviken · Dec 5, 2021

Amazing first half. Lack of a goal is worrying, but we've totally dominated them.

Dalot is showing everyone why AWB should never play for us again. And he’s not even been that good, he just knows how to play football; AWB does not.

Actually this is what is the case with our players. They might not be the best in the world in their position but they're showing competency

VanDeBank · Dec 5, 2021

Haven't had so much fun watching United play since Ole's honeymoon period.

Changes I'd love to see:

McTominay -> Matic
Sancho -> VDB (and play Bruno LW and Rashford RW)

gorky_utd · Dec 5, 2021

Enjoyable half. But need the goal.

So, who is going to be the first goal scorer under Rangnick???

Fred!

The Stain · Dec 5, 2021

Already a lot better than before.

RedDevilRoshi · Dec 5, 2021

HT

Very good opening 30 mins but we then lost our shape and began to look extremely sloppy.

Overall, very entertaining half and our football deserved a goal or two.

Shane88 · Dec 5, 2021

Watching United take throw-ins makes me want want to rip out my eyelashes.

I've never seen such a dozy, lazy team for them. Fecking move and give the thrower an option!

As jittery if we had of stuck with Ole?

Tbh, I'd be more comfortable with Carrick.

Haha. "Try".

NewYorkRed · Dec 5, 2021

Good half. Playing much better than I expected. Just need to get Sancho on the ball more second half and maybe put on VDB for McTominay.

pseudo_canadian · Dec 5, 2021

Palace hanging by a thread. Make a couple of changes at half and go hard at them

Fts 74 · Dec 5, 2021

Much better hopefully we can get an early goal 2nd half.

Camilo · Dec 5, 2021

Average half. As in control as we've ever been under Ole, but no real threat or intricacy in our play. It'll be interesting to see if big Ralf changes anything at half time. Palace are poor so far.

Pavl3n · Dec 5, 2021

Well that's a breath of fresh air. A few half chances, but we're dominating the game.
We have to be on our toes. We've seen too many games where we dominate and we get done by a counter or a deflection on our end.

RedOldBoy · Dec 5, 2021

Great to see a bit more intensity in our play.

Dalot beginning to look a proper player now.

Still 22, very young and has experienced playing regularly in a decent Milan team. Technically he's miles ahead of Wan Bissaka.

Dec9003 · Dec 5, 2021

Decent half, not too many clear cut chances but still positive. We’re going to have to be patient this season I think, a lot to build on though. Normally we tend to start the second half poorly, be interesting to see if we can change that today.

Redfrog · Dec 5, 2021

I like Dalot, someone who can attack, cross, pass and combine was lacking there. He seems to have matured defensively as well. Italy did him good I think.

But right now, he should have passed the ball to Bruno…too bad.

Marcus · Dec 5, 2021

We are playing well. When was the last time you could say United deserve to be ahead?

chb23 · Dec 5, 2021

Am I dreaming? Are we actually playing football???

Drainy · Dec 5, 2021

Much better structure to the team, controlling the game fairly well. Hopefully we get the goal or two we deserve.

r0663664 · Dec 5, 2021

I think the players will get it. Once they see the success of pressing, everyone will follow suit. Just continue in 2nd, we will get our goal.

eire-red · Dec 5, 2021

Nice to see Dalot putting his name in the mix again. Still not convinced defensively, but he's a much more rounded player then AWB.

Midfield is the issue again. It's all good and well pressing out of possession. What's even more important is being able to control the game when in possession.

We need to learn when to step off the gas a bit, maintain possession.

Tempo of the game is still illuding us.

I agree. Especially near the end of the half when they kept giving up the ball because the forcing low percentage passes.

donkeyfish · Dec 5, 2021

I really liked the attitude in this half, although we didn't create that many chances we had plenty of almost big chances

MoskvaRed · Dec 5, 2021

Good start. Palace will start to tire if we keep this up.

McTominay, Fred and Bruno continue to needlessly give the ball away. McT continue to be terrible.

Lool are these comments for real

Annihilate Now! · Dec 5, 2021

Very good off the ball, decent on it though disappointing we haven't made a clear cut chance yet

space · Dec 5, 2021

Overall positive, need to be a little quicker but can see a few small signs of Ralf's style already which is good. I think a goal will relax everyone so hopefully, we can come out firing. Bit disappointed by Scott and Rashy so far
