Looks like Sanchez picked up from where he left...
With him and Mata we've not offered anything up top. Rashford hasnt been great either

Pereira has been brilliant
My MOTM so farEven when we pick supposedly good players, the football is shit. It amazes me how bad we are with the ball.Defense has been very good, midfield quite good, but attack is not working.
Pereira and Shaw have done really well, taken the golden opportunity that they got. Hoping that they will give good competition to Matic and Young.
Deserves it. That's a kick out.Take lead and sit back.
Why can't we keep pressing high when in top ffs?
We just sit back and our mids don't even join the counters.Pereira has been brilliant
Him and Shaw have been our best players.Getting close to switching this sh*te off.
This thread is actually worse than last season.
In all seriousness, do you think we're playing well or something?
And a side note: what drugs are you on?Piss off
Our attackers are lightweight.Rashford is very weak, even for his age.Tough first half, great start and we've shown good energy but we're sitting so deep. Leicester's defence and midfield has so much time to play the ball. Need to get in their face more, latter stages of the half were encouraging. Shaw has looked good, impressed with Pereira as well.Mata off and lukaku in and rashford wingerSo a frantic, exciting, passionate 6 minutes or so followed by 39 mins of limp, shameful and frustrating efforts. I wonder if Mrs Jose is as luckyYup think this matchday thread has put me off for the season. Mental some of you
Its unbelievable. So fickle. So knee-jerk. Its the first half of the season and it isn't the first choice team and they are not at full fitness.
We are trying to play an aggressive counter style but oh no...we haven't had 90 percent possession. I am reading things like Pogba and Fred are shit. Really?Fred looks off the pace - its to be expected. As does Rashford who hasn't had a pre-season. Darmian has been the worst player on the pitch. Sanchez and Mata have been terrible too. Been impressed with how we have defended the set pieces.Well glad to see we have picked up where we left off last season by being second best at home to fecking Leicester. Woeful. Darmian, Fred, Sanchez and Mata should all be taken off and shot45 minutes in to the season, last season's issues are still obvious for all to see. The right wing and full back positions should have been upgraded. Although Shaw has done alright and one can hope Dalot can grow into the role and make the right back position his own.I'd like to see Sanchez switched to the right at some point just to try it.Darmian and Mata are the weak linksThis thread is actually worse than last season.
Misery loves company.
40 minutes into a new season without a proper response season for a new team is the perfect time to make this comparison.This thread is actually worse than last season.
we will struggle to finish top 6 with this, hard to beat at home it seems, is there any positivity apart being 1:0 up from a spot kick? I am asking because then you can just watch the final score and not enjoy the football at allI enjoyed that half.Perreira is quite good, isn't it?Bailly is a lunatic. That high boot early on, and that two footer just then, what is he thinking? He's generally been good, but why does he have to be so OTT?So what's the excuse going to be for Sanchez this season then?
He's utter utter trash. Garbage. Like playing with 10 men. An actual liabilityOk half, though I'm sure the usual drama queen will go over the top. We are much the more dangerous team, but Leciester are controlling possession. Once we get on the ball and settle we look sharp, it's just getting on it and keeping it for the first 2/3 passes that's the problem. We need to defend higher.Fred was very sloppy until around the 38th minute, then he had a few good moments coming into the game a bit more.
Pogba and Rashford have done a hell of a job defending set pieces. Think they handled all but 1 where Andreas got it away. Thats really helped the defense and Bailly covered Lindelof well when he was outmuscled by the striker.We are struggling to keep possession. We need to control the midfield and not let them get into our box so easily.
The front 3 don't seem to be receiving much of the ball in promising positions.
For what is potentially his first game in holding midfield, he's done a decent job.Pereira has been brilliant
Bailly needs to cut out the 2 footed challenges...will he ever learn!Good half overall. Bailey, Perreira, Fred, Pogba have had good games. On our right side, we r too open, mata, darmian should not be our first 11...Could change the front 3 at half time and improve.
Half fit Martial or Lukaku are probably better than this Rashford.Is this another game that further prove, where once we get a ball playing CB, our style would be full flowing attacking football?
I must be fecking blind.Front three useless (who would have thought). Apart from that decent half imoRashford is too weak. We need Lukaku and Mata is as always just too slow. Lukaku to replace mata.Rashford is not ready to lead us Left or Up top. He needs loan to play for lower league sides. Kelechi is having our defenders for sausageInteresting game. Work in progress:
. How much training have Rashford and Pogba had? Not much.
. Brand new CB partnership (I believe this is their first competitive match together).
. 2 x PL debuts in midfield.
Some good football going on, but clear to see everyone is not up to speed. Add in Matic, Lukuku and maybe Martial and things are looking positive.Apart from our right side, which must be the weakest and slowest we've ever had, the team has looked okay. Expect more from the forwards.- Status
