Just need a bit more zip and precision on our passing and we'll create openings IMO.
And try to stay on the front foot. Not that sit back shite we always start with.
Or Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal wehre managers don't need long to make an impact.They're much better than us so far. Hardly a surprise.Matic has been terrible so far. Really slow and unaware of players running behind him, and leaving lots of space behind him. Lukaku, in the form that he's been in these past few weeks has no place starting tonight. An absolute liability on top. Something needs to change in the second half or we are done and it could get really embarrassing.
The guy is a coward and a forward, he is hiding behind players and not moving, unforgivable. I wanted him and stand well and truly corrected.Do we even know what a through ball is?
We just pass to the nearest player, or play a cross field pass - only to then pass to the nearest player
Haven't posted these for a couple of games. Some are not very complimentary.

At this rate i'd swap troy fecking deeney for lukakkuThink it's better for everyone if we drop to EL. It's our own level and will be our only chance to get CL next season.Totally outclassed. Painfully so.
Juve are a class above Chelsea
Just saw the alert. Are you still optimistic?Well, that looked like Juventus, De gea, Pogba and a bunch of night robbers.
Hope so mate, we're having difficulties so far.
It's how much Juventus spent to get him if I recall correctly.
The fact that being 1-0 down is now being seen as a positive is really worrying.Get Herrera and Fred on, get some energy in midfield and press them. Jesus Christ, we’re bending over, spreading our cheeks and lubeing our arsehole for Juve to whatever they please right now.We have them where we want them now. They think it's a breeze while we have saved energy and are ready hammer them in the second half.
It's how much Juve got him for is what he meansWe must change something. Toby and Willian in. Oh wait....Not to worry. The Europa League is our only chance of qualifying for next season’s Champions League anyway. Assuming we can finish third above Young Boys.Is it just me or does dybala look like the the better looking younger brother of matic?
This, probably Matic as well for me,Why isn't Fred starting?Dominated but let’s not panic lads. Scrappy as feck goal for them. We need to track the runners and have a bit of composure as we build our attacks.
Just glad we are only one nil down...we are the second half kings...in the bag this one.We have no movement. The moment we start moving we are not bad. But, it seems the players are not even trainings these things, it's unbelievable.Its like United are a team of statues, no one makes a run or gives the player on the ball any options. Its doing my head in, its the basics of football - pass and move.I think we need to sub Jose and give it to gigsy for 45 min.I feel embarrassed at a performance like that on the highest stage. I have no idea what Mourinho was trying to do there, but the players started like they were just clinging on and hoping for a lucky break like some lower league side in the fa cup. Best we can hope for is Juve to get complacent tbh.
Exactly, this is the same shit that happens every game against us. Teams that are not even great possession sides suddenly become Barca lite in their passing and playing with confidence. Far worse teams than Juve have done it against us. At this point, it's just the norm.
Yep but it appears Valencia want that as well hence why they let Young Boys get a point against themI don't really post much in match day threads as emotion tends to take over and i'd rather watch the game but that 1st half tells us just how far away we are from being a top side.Matic has been poor defensively again. No point having a defensive midfielder that doesnt cover defensive positions
Mata has been invisible and so has Lukaku. Rashford is trying and failing but at least hes trying.Is Lukaku auditioning for the Scarecrow in the wizard of oz?
I've said that for a while. We're a team of individuals going forward and a mess at the back with a non existent midfield.
Our front three really is abysmal. I genuinely can't think of a worthwhile thing that any of them have contributed.Can we play faster? More spirit? More risk? More power? More fecking brave. This is not a cup final go and play free win or lose just fecking try to win every ball ffs. We just watching.On 3 occasions early on a Juventus got a player in behind Lindelof and caused us a problem. He was arguing with Matic about it.
However, other than that weak spell at the beginning he's done quite well afterwards. Can still see a run getting in behind him again though... We'll see.We're lucky to only be a goal behindRed Dead commercial at half time, the best thing of the match so far.When was the last time we had a good 1st half?
Honestly, I can't remember.Lukaku needs to be benched. He can’t be allowed to psychologically accept that these performances allow starts every week.
Granted the service has been shite but Martial has at least busted a gut to do some defensive duty. Lukaku just walks around pointing at shit and losing aerial battles.
Get on the bench.When Lindelof is your best player on the night you know something’s wrong.- Status
