Donny?Unwelcome ghost of seasons past in the crowd…
Last 25mins was better Bruno has to score at least 1 of his chances... keep this up we score .. Garnacho onDe Ligt for Maguire at 60 mins
Zirkzee for Mount at 60 mins
Garnacho for Rashford at 60 mins
McTominay for Casemiro/Mainoo at 75 mins if neededIt's all very flat.
No pace to our play its all very slow
Casemiro and Mainoo have stood out, Mount has worked very hard off the ball but need more from Amad and in particular Rashford who looks like he is sulkingMount And Rashford started badly and haven't been in the game at all.
Casemiro started badly and has grown really well in the game.
Has all the makings of a draw or a loss for United.
First game of the season and it shows. But for once can we please just win comfortably? Tired of going into half time knowing we have a mistake in us and 2-3 players just being invisible which may cost us as usual.
Also fecking Onana, brought in to play on the ground and is kicking out again.
Hopefully score early in the second half and score a couple more without Fulham responding.Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shitLast season we usually played alright for 20 minutes before the slow disintegration came. At least now we've grown into the game instead. Really should be two up but can't let heads drop.
No it’s not.Any riversHow have we been?De Ligt on for Maguire after the booking and Zirkzee on for Mount, same reason and also t change the formation up a bit.Not the best first half but there were some good moments and Bruno should have scored, having Bruno as a false 9 instead of in tbe middle really limits our ability to create chances.
We only allowed Fulham 3 shots in that half with one on target so we've at least improved that aspect of our game.
Fellaini?Unwelcome ghost of seasons past in the crowd…
I forgot his name
We played better and better as the half went on and should have scored at least 1 goal from the chances we created.it’s annoying, take one of those chances and Fulham have to come out a bit more to play.
60.7% Possession. 6 shots to 3. 2 clear chances to 0. 90.4% pass completion.
Isn’t that control? Top teams will have to deal with the occasional fast break. Fulham only really had one dangerous counter attack.
If Bruno had a put away one of his chances that’s a really solid first half.Rashford has lost all his zip. No agility or proper pace anymore.Not great, not terrible. Only three poor shots conceded and no one injured yet, also created a bit on the side, so some positives. Lightweight and poor passing, terrible finishing. Clearly lacking fitness. Two very stupid yellows.
Subs need to happen.Onana has done well first half but I still laugh every time he just boots it out of play considering one of the reasons we bought him for was how good he was with his feet
Pep played us for fools didn't he with his effusive praise of Onana, who was supposed to transform our play with his brilliant footwork. Oh well, here we are.Very promising first half after a ropey 10-15 mins. Aggressive, organised pressing, more compact midfield shape, made some good chances.
Shame we can't finish for shit, of course.
Or two assists if Bruno was a bit more accurate. Our best player in the first half. Agree though he's been wasteful
Looking more solid in midfield and defense for sure. Attack is still woeful though.
Shite at first but decent in the second half of the first half seems to be the consensus.Bruno should have tried rounding the keeper.Where was this casemiro last season?
He's looked very good in his midfield play. Should probs have a goal and 2 assists as well.Rashford and Mount need to do more
Still, we should be winning this in the second halfNot great, but better than last season. Mazraoui looks decentAnd that kids is why top strikers are worth 100m+I can remember 3 chances. The Casemiro shot when he had a clear opening outside of the box and couldn't hit the target, the two chances Bruno fluffed. And plenty of inaction by the collective around their box. That Dalot cannot cross with his left slows down play, Rashford has been invisible, Amad seems to have some jitters.
Of course I was hoping for a proper win for a change to keep building the optimism and belief, but it's been more of a slog. Hope we can get the win and keep a clean sheet.Played decent but we are the worst finishers ever as per usual.
Should be aheadComposure in front of goal letting us down again , ETH made a point of mentioning this during the week and how much they are working on it but it is still a big drawback.
Bruno is probably the player you would want those chances to fall to but no matter who it is we just seem to butcher so many of those chances.
What has he done?Roy has a decent tan and he’s not had reason to be angry yetHow've we done?
Have we still got a void in front of our back line?
Think Mount is playing better than Bruno!I think we looked pretty good, especially for a first match, and one player (Maz) who probably doesn't even know his teammates' names yet.
Onana made a good save, caught a high ball, and booted a long pass straight into touch. I'll take that. I'll take the shot-stopping over the fancy footwork.
We should go 451 after the break. DeLigt in for Maguire. Zirkzee in for Rashford. Take Casemiro off, play Mount deeper, Garnacho on the wing.
His peak was that 2019-20 season. He, Martial, Greenwood, and Bruno were on fire in the second half of that season.
He's not been awful per last season standards, but he hasn't really done anything good. Lost the ball a bunch of times and ran himself into a couple of dead ends. What did he do well exactly? I guess the effort has been there, which is nice but by that metric Antony is a decent player.- Status
