I'm not sure Hojland and Rashford are a match in heaven. Rashford needs to be direct with freedom to shoot. Asking him to set up anyone else is asking him to make decisions, which are his worst trait.

The only player Rashford links well with is Martial. People don't like it because Martial doesn't run about a lot though.

Feel like people are overreacting a bit. We've been in complete control for about 40 of the 48 minutes

whats the point, if we cant score ?

Baneofthegame · Sep 30, 2023

I’m at a local football game, I assume it’s not going well.

Hojlund had one cleared off the line?

Amrabat has given a couple of stupid ones away, one push in the back. Of course the Palace are going to take those.

The foul leading to the goal was needless. But it doesn't take much for these Palace players to fall over, a breeze would do and the ref knows it.

Bobski · Sep 30, 2023

People making comparisons to midweek have to realize that it is night and day from Palace in terms of application.

why does it always feel like rashford pauses for like a second, just facing up a defender...?

... always giving a chance for the defending team to make sure everyone is picked up

All he does is slow things down and run into defenders. Ruins so many promising attacks. We should bring Garnacho on instead.

Would take off Casemiro before he gets sent off, replace him with Amrabat in the middle and Dalot at left back.

And put who as RB?

Pughnichi · Sep 30, 2023

We haven’t had 1 shit on target

Hojlund would be better paired with Martial imho

Funny you say that, because Rashford has no problem linking with Martial.

Mount on the left makes little sense he can hardly influence much. Dont get ETH today

I seriously must ask questions, ETH is stubborn but that stubbornness will get you sacked at a club like united, he needs to find his mojo again and quick ?

lex talionis · Sep 30, 2023

Palace are inviting the ball to be played to Rashford, with fantastic results…for Palace. It will be interesting to see how long it will take for ETH to sub off Rashford for Garnacho.

erikcred · Sep 30, 2023

ETH has to pull out the forest team talk.

Or a shot.
I’d be happy with either at the minute!!

Rednotdead · Sep 30, 2023

Sooner or later people will wake up to Ten Hag’s incompetence. He’s a con artist.

This club will never achieve anything until it grows up and recognises the profile of player required to compete at the top level.

Aggression, fighting spirit, work rate and stamina are non-negotiables. If you don't have those in 2023 you're not a top player. Looking at you, Rashford.

I agree with you. He’s nowhere near it.
His decision making massively lets him down above all else.

GMoore23 · Sep 30, 2023

ten Hags football is pathetic.

Slowest build up play since the Van Gaal era and even that looked better than this.
At least Van Gaal had the balls to play a high line.

Sky1981 · Sep 30, 2023

Casemiro is getting a red, it's plain to see

We’re so shit aren’t we. Beat a second string Palace team in midweek and some people actually thought we were back.

Exactly, my eyes tell me we are playing like one of the worst teams in the entire league.

mu4c_20le said:
Mate we shouldn't be rubbish. That team is full of international players, every one of them.

Its one of two things then.

Players are either uncoachable or we have poor coaches and managers.

I don't think he's a complete fraud, just very similar to LVG but without the accomplishments

He's almost 22 years old.

He's just not good enough at this level. He's a mid table la liga player at best.

Oh noes almost 22, no time for him, also at this level? What level is that, we aint at high level thats for sure and plenty of not good enough feckers playing for us.

SAFMUTD said:
Was he any good last match? I mean he got an assist from a corner and that's pretty much it. Nothing player.

Are you serious? :lol:

The Hilton · Sep 30, 2023

Not the best half, we've struggled to create much, but there's no way we deserve to be losing, sometimes players will swing a foot and it'll fly in the corner, if Andersen tried that 99 more times he'd miss them all.

Casemiro has been very poor so far today, he's been responsible for breaking down a lot of our promising attacking moves, as well as losing the ball in dangerous situations, and has been a bit rash with tackles too.

Rashford struggling to get his head up too, running down blind alleys far too much.

The officials have been awful, wildly inconsistent, Palace (particularly Ayew) getting everything they ask for, while the exact same challenges on our players are waved away.

Lee565 · Sep 30, 2023

Another example of mount and Fernandes in the middle does not work

Pass left, pass right, pass back, run forward stop and pass back. Such wonderful football, 80% possession. We are just lucky that CP score from corner. To me, it seems week in week out and ETH will hold his head high to say we were unlucky to lose. Please drop Rashford, I have enough of his selfish play. Everyone is waiting for a cross or pass and the ball will be block by the defenders. Same story week in week out, please acknowledge he is out of form. Every good ball to the left is wasted over and over again.

Well city, Brighton, and arsenal do the same, literally the bright 30 pass goal against us did that multiple times before they attacked.

Hojlund is still a work in progress, just hope he reaches his potential

He needs to be playing with someone capable of finding him quickly. Rashford will never react fast enough to play him in before the defensive line have had a chance to regroup.

Aint gota Kalou · Sep 30, 2023

Get Pellistri off. He's not good enough. Garnacho to play LW also

Hey look at us we controlled the game V Crystal Palace yet we are losing 1-0

Real Madras · Sep 30, 2023

I think we should take Rashford off and play Martial on the left wing. Think he will work well with Hojlund.

Players who are basically just runners and lack the technical ability do that often, Valencia did the same.

Lindelof can go to RB so the Maguire coming into CB with Varane

Betson said:
Just not good enough , we are mid table mediocrity this season , you get the feeling among the supported that they want to believe we are going in the right direction but patience is wearing thin , it can't go on like this.

Not mid table if setup differently.

Mount Cas Bruno doesn't work.

Rashford is in his shitty streak and should be dropped.

We absolutely should be beating these at home.

It’s about creating good goal scoring opportunities and taking them, we have seen very little to inspire us with our inability to average more than 1.5 PL goals per game for the last 2 and a bit seasons.

We just don’t score enough goals and with the huge investment of £400m in two summer windows we should have finally got the team up to 2 goals per PL gane and 75-80 in a season ?

Jazz · Sep 30, 2023

Anyway hoping we turn this around. Really cannot afford to be losing here.

I'd bring him off and put Maguire on, pushing Amrabat into midfield, Lindelof RB and Dalot LB.

Really doubt ETH job will survive if we fail to win today.

No chance he’s sacked if we lose today.

100 · Sep 30, 2023

Knew how it was going to go when we had a break at the start and Rashford did his run down a blind alley routine. His ability has bailed us out but it's a hinderance to the whole attack now.
