Subs have been pathetic, especially that cnut James.

Lads there’s no need for united players to run themselves into the ground. They were 3-0 up. Of course they are not going to try and get 5 or 6. Just basic tactics. Schedule is bad enough as it is.

The thing is we’re all panicky and rushy now. I’d argue that is going to cause more of a drain. When you play in this messy and unconvincing way you expend more energy.

The champagne football turns to diamond white in one substitution

At least Telles has been great first and second half.

Those corners. Maguire will be one of the most prolific shot takers in the league now.

Ranchero · Nov 24, 2020

We are in yellow trouble with the defenders we have. Now where is Chris Smalling again?

TommiHelm · Nov 24, 2020

Seriously, anyone thinking Cavani has had a bad match should just stop watching football.

Only took Ole about 10 minutes to realise we didn’t need Martial and Cavani on the pitch now.

Ole got the subs all wrong by changing the formation

Camy89 · Nov 24, 2020

We seem to consistently do needless one touch passing. It must be what's trained. They are allllways doing it, one touch passing when no one is nearby ony to lose possession. Rarely are we holding onto the ball running at the opposition, showing a bit of bravery, it's a lot of little passes not going anywhere until the opposition close us down and get possession. Terrible half.

Victor is far calmer than Maguire who is just panicked.

Lindelof and Tuanzebe would certainly be a calm back two

Andycoleno9 · Nov 24, 2020

Feels odd to say it but Lingard is a ball player comparing to James.

Will Singh · Nov 24, 2020

He deserved a booking for playing shit

Audacity of Martial to sulk after being subbed. Not since him since the 15th min.

Isn't that just his face?

eire-red · Nov 24, 2020

What does James do in training to get in the team?

How do we put James on instead of Mata when you want to keep the ball and see the game out?

Terrible subs from Ole, such a dreadful second half. Sums us up really.

Tom Cato · Nov 24, 2020

Maguire.......................................................

Even as a backup I’m not comfortable with him. I’d rather we play Lindelof or Tuanzebe at right back.

A season long loan to Southampton would have been good for him. Not guaranteed to start over KWP though. But would start more often.

He’s the only player in our back line who I could see starting for a title winning team

Ranchero · Nov 24, 2020

Ooooh aaaaaaaaaargh Matic

MiracleInMadrid · Nov 24, 2020

Cavanis pressing alone is reason enough to start him at the moment. Whole other quality and intensity about the way he press.

Ranchero said:
Yes, we look much more solid now!! Thanks goodness!! Grief. All that has happened is Van De Beek is playing further forward!

Calm down ffs it's a very logical sub. We put Greenwood and James on for Rashford and Bruno, and now went back to the same balance as when we started. It's fine.

Superunknown said:
I'm amazed just how much composure we seem to lack at the back. This game should have been shut down ages ago. This is where we need an experienced defender to just lead at the back and calm things down.

I thought our £80m defender was supposed to bring those qualities to our back 4?

VP89 · Nov 24, 2020

Why is Matic making tired passes already. VDB is still buzzing about trying to offer and Matic can't even hit a square pass to him.

Id take Jesse any day over James.

Or to solidify and get a midfielder in to sit on the ball a bit... We were playing with 2 center mids, 3 strikers and a waste of space...

There fixed it for ya

Baxter · Nov 24, 2020

Missed the first half, so this is comfortably one of the worst matches I’ve seen.

TsuWave · Nov 24, 2020

Maguire

GledTheRed · Nov 24, 2020

Dan James such a fanny of a footballer.

Ranchero · Nov 24, 2020

RedDevil@84 said:
We need extra cover. Our defenders are idiots

YEAH>>> I can see that having Matic there is making a hell of a difference. Not.

Offside · Nov 24, 2020

These lot aren’t a bad side. This has been a pretty even game.

Jesus Christ Maguire is horrible.

As soon as Bruno goes off we turn to shit. He’s our heartbeat

This 100%

Goes to show how reliant on him we are.

Maguire poor time after time...

cj_sparky · Nov 24, 2020

This half has been awful, even more so after the subs.

Sparky Rhiwabon · Nov 24, 2020

Obviously we were happy just to hold onto what we had this second half

Ranchero · Nov 24, 2020

PSG still 1-0 up. Not good.

fps · Nov 24, 2020

James doesn’t know where to stand on a football pitch.

Camy89 · Nov 24, 2020

3-1 up against Istanbul Basaksehir at home...and trying to hold on.

Djemba-Djemba · Nov 24, 2020

Greenwood has been poor sadly

markhughes · Nov 24, 2020

Second half has been poor but we would have taken this before the game. We just lost our focus and intensity after the subs.

Exactly what I was thinking. He plays like he’s doing us a favour by just showing up.

Williams James and Greenwood have all been appalling since coming on.

They came on a 3-0 to get a bit of fitness since none of them have played any football in recent weeks.

It was the right move to bring them on.The drop in performance was expected but also acceptable given the scoreline.

Ollie Derbyshire · Nov 24, 2020

We are shocking at passing the ball, so many misplaced or over hit it’s unbelievable, I wouldn’t expect this many in the Sunday league.
