Manchester United 2:2 Leeds United

Judas · Feb 8, 2023

Infuriating half. The lack of proper striker is really showing on nights like this.

If it wasn't for the early goal I'd be fairly confident we'd find a way, but this might just end up being one of those games.

We've dominated them, that had 1 shot 1 goal first minute

You lot are an old bunch. If it was 0-0 we'd be going in happyish.

Surprisingly, 0-0 is a better result than 0-1 down.

He looks right at home so far. Passing range and strikes with both feet.

I'll look forward to seeing him next to Casemiro that's for sure.

Adisa · Feb 8, 2023

The performance does not warrant a raft of changes at half time. We have dominated them over the last 30 minutes and gotten into a number of dangerous situations.

pascell · Feb 8, 2023

If it stays like this, the weekend game is going to be even worse.

For all the shit Antony gets in almost every thread, the right hand side of our attack just doesn't exist without him.

Bang on. We have no one even close to him for the right hand side. Rashford is a complete waste there. No idea what ETH was thinking with that lineup

Weghorst is rank average. I don't know why ETH is fascinated with him.

Should have gotten someone else in.

Who? We clearly want Osimhen or Kane in the summer, so we were hardly going to spend much money on getting a striker now. Only players on loan were an option.

Concede equals season over in this place

This sort of shambles isn't what teams who win trophies produce.

If this was Ole losing to a meme manager everyone would be going mad.

Gator Nate · Feb 8, 2023

If this isn't a classic game-day thread, I don't know what is... :lol:

RedDevilCanuck · Feb 8, 2023

Sabitzer and shaw need to be closer to ddg and varane when we are playing out .

We have had some good chances, just need to be more calm in those crucial moments.

The midfield looks unbalanced, which was expected tbh.

The carelessness at the beginning is the biggest disappointment. Should have rode the opening pressing a bit more smartly, play long if you don't see a easy pass.

I wouldn't want to see a montage of how many times Bruno has miscontrolled/lost the ball in that sort of position and then seen us concede 30 seconds later.

He's got to do much better there.

redshaw · Feb 8, 2023

Garnacho Rashford Sancho.

DWelbz19 said:
Yeah, and that’s mostly because he’s so slow and immobile. We aren’t some magical side who can create chance upon chance for an immobile no.9 who lacks attacking positioning.

That isn't unfair.

We need to sell everyone

Wayne's World · Feb 8, 2023

Casemiro IS basically our whole team. One man team when defending when he's playing since he's so good at it

Weghorst is too slow, Garnacho's first touch and control is completely off, Dalot has had a poor game and Rashford can't play on the right.

Need to make changes quick

Dominos said:
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.

Not arrogant, just better.

Andersonson · Feb 8, 2023

The problem here isnt wingers or strikers. We started the game with to CM's running the channels completely opening us up. It got adjusted as the game went on.

Adam-Utd · Feb 8, 2023

Thanks Sherlock.

The point is - we've not played badly, people are just losing their shit in here acting like we're 3-0 down and being smashed everywhere.

If Garnacho's chance goes in it's a different story.

Oh christ. This channel has Michael Owen offering his views.

I'd almost forgotten he was a thing.

He's absolutely full of shite. Liverpool ambassador trying to get Martinez retrospectively punished.

We used to beat this lot handily without him

Everything has aligned for a bad evening, no Marsch, no Casemiro, us overdue a shock loss, them overdue a shock win, etc.

If we do lose, then we'll probably smack them on Sunday.

Yep and me too, hate them but they came to old Trafford today with a plan and a spirit that we can’t match, we have bottled it so far and I see them scoring again.

I wouldn't say bottled it. Their goal was unlucky and skillful squeezing through that tiny gap but we are at least fighting. Dare I remind you of some of our wet lettuce performances last year; our fight and play is there. Just need better in the final 3rd

It means not wasting Rashford in a position he’s never played well in.

That too but Antony missing should never have meant playing Rashford on the right. ETH made a big mistake there

Ighalo had some good performances and an absolute worldie goal in the EL, he was certainly alright in the first half of his spell here. Wout has been flat out invisible. Both him and the team has to share blame for that.

I could be wrong but my recollection of Igalho was that he looked slower than WW and miles below PL standard.

Wout's hold-up play and lay-offs are normally decent. I also expect him to score every so often, something I never expected from Igalho.

A game like this shows you Antony's value despite his lack of goals and assists. He brings a balance to the team

He wouldn't have lost the ball on the wing for the goal. His ability to hold it up, keep possession and recycle the ball is class

mu4c_20le said:
He'd bring another brawl given the heated environment

Oh yeh because the brawl was Antony's fault right?

Jazz · Feb 8, 2023

On top of not being able to see the game, we are here trailing dirty Leeds

Well we beat Forest three times comfortably. They sit above Leeds and level with Palace. What we can’t do is win comfortably when we’re missing our best midfielder and wasting our best attacker in a position he always struggles in.

DickDastardly · Feb 8, 2023

Need a goal in the first 15 min.

Don't think some commenting here even watch the match. Not a preferable scoreline but we have played well. Like LVG? What a joke.

The comparisons to LVG are laughable. I'd have given my left bollock to see us trying to move the ball forward like this during the LVG era.

it does highlight how an elite striker is so badly needed.

Tapori · Feb 8, 2023

The issue is:
Is garnacho on the left good enough to balance out losing Rashfords potency on the right?

Might not be the game for a new midfield but with Eriksen taken out by a thug and Casemiro suspended there is no other option than a new midfield.

Yeah I'm just lamenting our bad luck really. I think the defenders are used to having Casemiro and Eriksen drop in to help out with passing options and when none of Sabitzer and Fred didn't they panicked and played it into pressure on the right. It's just a poor goal to concede against a team that thrives on pressure tactics.

Donut · Feb 8, 2023

I have zero faith that we can conjure something up, we have been total shite.
