Need to make a attacking change either in terms of personnel or Positions.

I''d bring on Depay or Martialfor Lingard and push Fellaini more forward than pogba maybe. Or just go 4-4-2 flat and push fullbacks forward further.

The odd game apart, I just feel no excitement or joy watching United play at all anymore. The swagger is gone, the confidence is gone and it's full of average players. You look at City and Arsenal opening teams up in the CL and we only ever come close to scoring via headers against some random teams you've barely heard of.

You might have a point, actually, it's September, so you don't.

Don't worry, just keep moaning at a player the whole game and your sure to get one

Need more width, much better/quicker passing forward from the back.

Wish rashford / lingard would stay wider to give us more space through the middle.

Not really how our system works. They play much more narrow as zlatan drops deap and look to make runs in behind. Width should be supplied by the Full backs, but they arent doing a good job

His cross to Mata was pretty good, but I thought Pogba was pretty awful.

He's the only one forcing the issue ?

It's weird. Someone suggested it might be because he's the England captain.

Well he shouldn't be, unless one wants England/United to fail.

Any pundit/journalist lobbying for Rooney is putting him ahead of the club.

I don't care about the scorelines but it's the fact that we are so boring and predictable in our buildup.

This thread needs to be put on suicide watch :lol:

Leftback99 · Sep 29, 2016

The only chances seem to come from set pieces as usual. Our attack is so poor at the moment.

Jesus fecking Christ, I've read through this entire thread since HT. We've been completely dominant, yet more or less 99% of the posts have been bitching and whining.

Some of you lot get a fecking grip on reality in this thread, or I swear to God.....

J-Stander · Sep 29, 2016

Carrick for Fellaini and Martial for Lingard hopefully.

Loser mentality. You play to win the game! You play. To win. The game.

This.

Can someone please un park that bus?

Fellaini looks useless against this team. We need someone that will slice through this defense.

Hell...Schneiderlin would be a better holding mid against THIS team.

mav_9me · Sep 29, 2016

I have only been half watching but this is such a wrong match to play Fellaini. 80% possession hahaha....with Fellaini as essentially the DLP...haha

Nah he has actually been excellent. His throughball to Rojo was a thing of beauty

I blame Rooney for losing form

Rojo is so pointless, offers nothing going forward. Mata willing him on to make a run but nope, he can't do that.

Tbf, he's been one of our better players this half. Ten times better than TFM on the right back position. Generally, he's shit, but today he's at least been aggressive and put in a few decent crosses. TFM looks too cautious to even get past the halfway line.

I don't think it's wrong to expect some more exciting football against some rubbish team from Ukraine when we're playing pretty much our first team.

I thought some of Lingard's movement today has been necessary as we've tried to pry open the opposition's defensive bloc. His final product has been poor though. Can't think of who to replace him with though. Young? Martial?

His movement is fine but he's not doing enough on the ball. Wouldn't mind seeing Depay tested tbh.

Ban · Sep 29, 2016

There's even a guy who thinks Pogba was awful.

I'm so outta here. It's crazy.

Marcelinho87 · Sep 29, 2016

I love Mourinho on the touchline... Such a far cry from LVG.

Maradona10 · Sep 29, 2016

Martial and carrick on for fellaini and lingard and we ll win this 45 mins.

I understand he's trying. But you'd expect more from him. I'm sure it'll come I just don't think he played particularly well that half. Mata was quite good and Rashford looked our biggest threat. Would like to see Rashford getting in the box more on those crosses.

Can't bring myself to be bothered about this competition. Wouldn't care if we were knocked out in first round.

Its a pain is the ass and embarrassing even if we win it as will be a historic eyesore that we weren't good enough for champions league

Mourinho should tell the players to do better and score a goal.

At one stage we had 80% of the possesion, and at around 35th minute we still did not have one shot on target, against this nobody team

BarstoolProphet · Sep 29, 2016

Was TFM that bad? Apart for some dodgy positioning I thought he was pretty good.

SwansonsTache · Sep 29, 2016

Carrick for Fellaini and Martial for Lingard. Let Martial play on the left and move Rashford over to the right.

madRedDevil07 · Sep 29, 2016

Mata and Lingard should have scored with their headers. If you don't score from those chances, you won't win matches. This place would have gone berserk, had rooney missed those glorious chances.

For that poster, it certainly is.

Keep plugging away and we'll grab that first goal, two more will follow.

3-0.

Easy.
