you'd think we are playing real madrid sitting back waiting for them to attack. Pogba understandably unfit but he's totally dogshite, sanchez for all his words about how we should buy world class players and he gives every ball away. Darmian usual shit himself. mata nonexistent and Rashford up top is just super poor.
Good to score the first goal but I expect much better from the first home fixture against a team who will struggle to get top10
You’ll get nailed for whinging, but I don’t understand how anyone can disagree.
I have no idea what we are trying to achieve really. Unless we just fancy giving our CB a good run out
Utterly baffling. You’d think we are playing 2011 Barca.
They aren't creating anything though. Just passing it about in front of our midfield.Fred certainly likes to fall over a lot.Is Mata playing as a false 9?Is Jose the best looking manager in the PL or what.Hope Lindelof is alright.Good first 10 mins, then reverted to the same shite football we saw last season.
Don't know what he is actuallyA goal up, and no attacking intent whatsoever. Oh, it’s gonna be a looong season.
Should of gone to specsavers
the hysteriaMore tripe. Leicester playing us off the park. Hang your head, Jose.Well this is depressingLindelof really doesn't fill me with confidenceWe should keep the ball better. Also it takes ages for us to win it back.Those first six minutes thoughWe need a new CB.Ball seems like a hot potato for us right now.38 min
Another chance for Leicester. Gray sends a through ball in behind the United back four to Iheanacho but Lindelof muscles him off the ball and Bailly gets it clear. Leicester looking the more threatening team here for sure.Fred
My guess is the idea is that Lukaku likes to shade right so we can basically have 2 forwards on the break and Mata (or Lingard) can play on the right and come inside a bit to help the midfielders and also get the ball between the lines like a 10.
Basically we're set up like Real Madrid have tended to do, with Pogba and Fred as Modric and Kroos, Pereira (probably Matic soon) as Casemiro, Sanchez as Cristiano, Rashford (Lukaku) as Benzema and our right side, like theirs, is the position that changes between a 10 playing wide like Isco (Mata), a defensive winger like Vasquez (Lingard) and a wing forward to counter like Bale (Rashford, Martial).
Obviously we don't have the same quality and our fullbacks not world class and we lack a general composure on the ball that Madrid had. Also Lindelof does not look strong enough whereas Ramos is a beast.
De Gea is better than Navas. Might start drinking!
Yeah, it seems that he switched with Rashford.
Everyone is just walking around, the intensity is no more than nuthin.Can we hang on??
There is that. There is also the justified absence of expectation that we'll ever consistently go out on the front foot. We want to see change.This match has followed the same pattern as many of the ones last season. Start well and then get batteredThose first six minutes though
That has made it worse though! Started so well.
For what, we need to get the ball in their half firstWhy are we playing like the away team ?Fred is like Alexis of the midfield, lots of effort not much of an end product so far.Fred clearly going for the ball there.Part of the problem is that we are only pressing in our half and not all over the pitch.Are we even trying to attack?Sanchez has to do so much betterThey deserve to be level.Fred and Pogba can't keep a hold of the ball. Rashford, Mata and Alexis non existent.fecking injuries man!Seems way too deep and no control in midfield.Has Sanchez completed a pass yet?
He is not anywhere near the level of the first team.Sanchez must be under a curse or something, it is like he has lost all abillity.
yeah some people like you might as well just watch the livescore and seer the result in the end. Big fun I must say- Status
