    Fred sabitzer Bruno is such an erratic trio.

    yup.The control that Case and Christian bring is missed.
    might actually do something crazy like play Linde as a dm instead of Fred in the second half.

    Frustrating half. Garnacho hasn't been bad but I think we would look much better with Rashford on the left and Sancho on the right, Rashford in his best position is just to good not to be played there.

    This. Play your best performing player in their best position.
     
    For all the shite he gets, any time he doesn't play it becomes painfully obvious that Antony is actually really quite important to us right now.
     
    I like Garnacho. He's direct and works hard but there's no way Rashford should be forced to play on the right to accommodate him. we've had chances from the left where you'd have expected an in form Rashford to put it away.

    Weghorst, who I have praised in some games, has been poor, in all honesty.

    Think the obvious change, as most have alluded to, is to take Weghorst off and put Rashford up top, with Sancho out wide or behind the forward.

    If we score, I think we go onto win.

    The new manager bounce made Everton beat Arsenal. It seems Leeds were playing half arsed for a month and now are playing out of their skin, it just makes it very difficult.

    Leeds have been shit, we just couldn’t finish.
    We’ll score three this half, they’ll break after we score one
     
    Leeds are there for the taking but as usual we're bloody awful in the attacking third. We need some attackers who aren't thick as shit and who are actually good at finishing
     
    United fans are incredibly arrogant and think we're better than we are.

    Could barely scrape a win over shite like Palace over 2 games, we can't win a game comfortably.

    We may turn this round 2nd half, but we're always on the edge of dropping points. When you can't win any game convincingly you have to go into every fixture knowing poor performances will catch up with you eventually.
     
    You play your inform player in his preferred position, Rashford has been anonymous in this game
     
    Hopefully 2nd half FC. Poor goal to concede after a minute, Bruno at fault.

    Man United mostly huffing and puffing since then with a lot of passengers.
     
    Weghorst offers absolutely nothing. Cant head, no pace, a first touch as bad as Lukaku's. Absolute nightmare of a transfer. No wonder we are so reluctant to put crosses in - no hope of him winning it.

    Also Garnacho has been awful. I'm starting to wonder if hes maybe still a bit too young and whether he needs to be playing not as much?
     
    Everyone knows rashford is best left then striker and last right wing
    He’s the leagues in form player if not worldwide, for the love of god play the man in his favourite place!
     
    Please put Rashford in at ST as he's absolutely invisible on that right side. Hopefully we get Sancho straight after HT. Garnacho also having a rough time.
     
    Injuries are killing us. Weghorst is just nowhere near good enough, i forget he is on the pitch at times. Rashford disappears on the right. It is just a big void where Casemiro usually is. Dalot is rusty. Feck
     
    Feck was that crock of shite I just witnessed?

    It's like LVG all over again.
     
    Can someone help me understand why we pass the ball between Varane and De Gea about 6789 times when we are 1-0 down?

    Leeds charging around like mad men. Predicted it as soon as I saw we were playing them twice in a week they’d sack their manager right beforehand.

    They're going to be burnt out pretty soon. No one can keep up that kind of tempo. Second half should be a cake walk for us.
     
    What is this bollox 53 minute half?

    Deft of goal scorers.

    4 for us please.
     
    People want Weghorst out and Sancho in but I think it'll be Garnacho going off and Sancho replacing him on left wing. I'm not confident Sancho can bring us much atm and rest of the bench is the same as well, going to be extremely difficult to turn it around, Leeds have been good.
     
    Set up is wrong.

    I'd get Mainoo on (not sure for who) I know it's helter skelter but we need control in the middle. I'd go for Bruno to the right, Mainoo on for WW. Rashford thru the center.
     
    Freds a player who is really good for coming off the bench when other teams are tired.

    Also has his uses if you tell him to man mark someone like De Bruyne.

    But as a starter in a game he needs to play football he is unacceptable
     
    Sucker punched early on, but we're back to the having no midfield days.
    Sabitzer a ghost, at least Fred's trying to get on the ball.

    Dalot way off after so long out, Weigy like Ronaldo's worst performance but slower.
    Rashy absolutely out of the game through being out of position. Garnacho wasting our 2 great chances but having one of those classic really frustrating young player games.

    Bruno losing it with silliness in bad positions.

    Hope 2nd half United are back in town, but this looks dreadful so far.
     
    For all the shit Antony gets in almost every thread, the right hand side of our attack just doesn't exist without him.

    He is playing shit. He's done feck all but lose possession and waste a couple good chances

    Wasting a chance means he is "dangerous". Same as when player does reckless tackles mean that he is a warrior. And so on...

    Watching that second chance right now. Two players were wide open. Garnacho should have pass there.

    Leeds is cutting out passing lanes and playing man 2 man behind the front 3 .. Fred and Sabitzer not showing enough.
     
    Had to give my dad my ticket tonight cause I've got the bin lid, looks like I've picked a good night to miss. Can see this frustration carrying on throughout. Leeds throwing themselves in front of everything.

    Weghorst needs to be taken off. He's completely ineffective in this kind of game, Leeds leave gaps at the back and we need pace to exploit it getting in the channels. Sancho on please.

    Knew garnacho would miss his chance, he seems to miss the 1 on 1s. Obviously you can't see the full story on TV, but Sabitzer looks like a tidy little addition, looks comfortable on the ball and not afraid to stick a foot in.

    Thank god we have Martinez, the lads leaving a heap of Leeds bodies behind him and has a serious knack for making last ditch tackles to pull us out. Absolutely love him, blood and guts kinda player. Wouldn't mind him partnering me at the back this Sunday morning.
     
    Playing our best player out of position and in a position he has been historically terrible. :wenger:

    Abysmal half. Up there with those from the beginning of the season.
     
    Weghorst off - like playing with 10 men.
    One of Fred or Sabitzer has to sit too - we’re wide open
