Valencia's crossing has been pants. Absolute pants. Apart from that I think we played well, need that first goal and hopefully the floodgates will open.

Good performance. But Leicester still too relaxed defensively. Crossing has been woeful. Hopefully we can break them down early in the 2nd half.
We've been good this year at getting the second goal that eluded us last season but getting the first still takes too long. This should not be 0-0 at half time.We're doing well I guess. Not much to say
Not everyone is like Barcelona, its a valid tactic given that we have Lukaku up frontFrustrating but if we continue playing like this we'll score.I wish Valencia would lay off the crossing and pass it back to the man on the edge of the box who has acres of space. Yes I did just wish for a backwards pass.Oliver is an incompetent fool. A clear foul on front of him and he gives nothingWorst referee ever
What a frustrating fecking half. Moved the ball around very well, had a few decent chances but the crossing is fecking abysmal.
WHat is that?Valencia has to be the worst crosser in professional footballOnly explanation is that Oliver feels bad for Leicester.Frustrating but we should get one if this keeps up.We've played very well. Do the same in the second half and we will score.Our crosses are letting us down big time. We should rather try cutting inside. Our crosses are so predictable and with no clear direction, its cross and hope for the best.We need a goal, badly.United are one decent crosser away from being a force.
Of course we can afford to draw, we're only 3 games in ffs.
Everything points to us winning though.Strong half, but nothing to show for it. Hopefully we keep the same dominance in the second half, but get the goals with itUrgh i hate these kind of games. Total dominance, chances all over the place, nothing to show for it. There is always a chance of the sucker punch. I hope we just up the tempo a touch second half.Can't believe that twat is still given our games. Blatantly biased against us.Valencia has been really shockingCan't believe this is still 0-0, dominating but the fullbacks' crossing has been subpar. Martial started well but is getting lost a bit needs to get back in it. Leicester predictably parking it. This is giving me flashbacks to last season but we've looked pretty sharp, will be a travesty if we don't score.
P.S. Oliver is a twatI blame Martialand people say we should settle for Valencia, his final ball has been awful for ages, and it goes completely unnoticed and I don't know why.
Yeah mate, definitely out of the title race if we don't win!
But no one else. This is not a game for aimless crossing.Should be up already, Mata's goal should have stood. Ref been a bit shit too. But we need to play wider much quicker, build up is too slow. We cannot think it's a good idea to only have Blind on the left whilst Martial plays a free role, leaving us very exposed for a counter attack sucker punch...We play fairly well. Bailly and Jones are rock solid at the back. Mata and Mkhi has done well. A bit disappointed with Pogba so far. Pogba been involved a lot, but the quality is not that good.
And to be told he has a fecking left foot ffs.
Still expecting 3 in the second halfShades of early last season. Dominating, goal ruled out debatably, plenty of shots, a great save... Just gotta keep it up, goal will come I'm sure.Valencia's pace and engine is so good. But good lord, that crossing.
And Blind. Ffs, his best attribute is his technique. But his wide deliveries have been atrocious again.
I don't think you're wrong.Should have started with Rashford, he stretches the defense tires out the defense laying down the foundation for martial to do his thing. Yes martial> Rashford in front of goal, but Rashford terrorizes the defenses.
All I remember was that one cross.Is it much to ask Valencia to put in one decent cross?
Yeah I didn't see the need for that change.Why can't our full backs cross? Its one of the most important positions in the modern game.Crossing has been poor in general though. One reason is that we don't get enough bodies in the box. Quality from Valencia has been shit and Blind has not done much better.- Status
