Rashford has been bailing out the forward players with his form this season but if he's out for a considerable time, well, oh boy those other guys really need to step up.It's like we're playing with 10 men this game. Get Antony and Garnacho on (if Rashford's is indeed injured)Solid first half that lads. Definitely look the more dangerous of the teams.
Just keep respecting this City team because they’ve got the quality to pull something from nothing/turn the heat up. Really impressed with us so far though. Should be in the lead.
Put the same shift in for the next 45 minutes
Andy Gray having a go at Martial.That's why spending £84M on Antony makes us not likely to bring in a quality striker. Shame we couldn't get him for less than that.Antony over Garnacho, we might get only a couple of chances and Anthony is more likely to convert if he gets it.Nice to see Good Fred on the pitch today. MOTM for me so far.Wait, Martial is playing bad? I mean he's not that good but how is this a bad performanceNeed to take some of these half chances. you’d think City wont be anywhere near this cagey second half
Said this every game he's played this season, yet some on here still defend him and are even prepared to give him more chances.Good first half. Total control until Haaland started to drop back to get in the game. We just need to hold our defensive lines like we did. Fred is doing great job.
Unbelievable if that's the latest trend.
I know he has a problem with he's one footedness but thats a ridiculous take. Is that really what a good many folk believe?
Surely it's only 1 or 2 nutters.
Or perhaps a player who just passed a last minute fitness test isn’t quite at 100%?Don't understand the Martial hate other than as a continuation of previous games. His link up in the breaks has been really good. Could be pressing harder but he has been decent.It’s gone ok. Martial links up well, but in terms of what he brings as that number 9 figure, massively underwhelming.
Honestly, we should win this and I’ll be gutted if we don’t.City will come out 2nd halve all guns blazing. I expect a more open halve.
Can we play him up front?
Some people live for bad news though.
What could he possibly be saying?FFS talking about turning your life around, Khaby.
I think he’s just not the type of striker people want to see up front for us. We know what martial is about by this point.
Not sure Antony is the cowardly choice. Even when he appears to be crap Antony something good which is stretch teams and run at defences whenever he has the ball.
Also we’ve seen ETH is far from cowardly. He’d bring a fan on from the stands if he thought that was best.
Hes not been told to do the full press but to cut the passing lines to the midfield. Then when its worked out to the full backs, Bruno and Rashford get out to them.
Yeah he's been very decent apart from the offsides in the opening 10. Weird.
Yeah that's one of the main reasons I am kinda fine with us not going into the half with a lead to be honest
We where closer to score than them. Good first half overall. Fred absolutely fantastic. Right now all I can really think about is Rashford though. Losing him would be deadly to us.martial does his job until now. rashy injured would be a big hit and sadly it seemed quite serious. would assume 4-6 weeks outI thought we looked alright. Tight and put some nice passes together and we’re generally more dangerous than City. Just been a bit wasteful up front.
Me too.
White text?Hopefully just an impact injury for Rashford and won't miss too many gamesWe've been tactically brilliant, if a little lacking in the cutting edge.
Bad in that he is miles off the energy of he's fellow teammates.
He's just not going enough.
So not bad as in, scuffing he's chances or losing the ball, but just not committing more, giving that extra.ETH should be on the phone to Bas Dost aftet the game, this lack of strikers can't go on and we need more players than just Wout.Can't be underestimated the work ETH has put in for us to be going toe to toe with City in a relatively short space of time. Deserved to be winning this.
And rightly so. The guy is a disgrace. Almost 8 years now and still plays like a 19 year old.
One doesn't deserve to be ahead of the other because they are totally different type of wingers playing on different sides.- Status
