I think those of you who have been arguing for a 433 or a 343 are right. We need another midfielder in there to free up Pogba. With Martial and Rashford outside of Lukaku, and a major confidence crisis Lindelof at the back it's even more apparent.
Herrera for Mata and we've got balance.Ashley young has been dreadful.
I think that's it. Any player can slip at a key moment but it looks to me he has no idea who is behind him and turns in a panic, which doesn't help keep your feet on the ground. It was poor from several players, but Lindelof again looks all at sea.
Goodness only knows.Are Newcastle averaging more possession than us?
Attack, other than Pogba, can't string 2 passes together.
Yeah, the mistake came from smalling and young. Even if Lindelof didn’t slip I doubt he’ll have made up the ground anyway.They're outplaying us right now.Geordies will just tuck in now and make life difficult.
15 minutes played.
Good call.Dafuq is this mess in our defense...HopelessAlmost 2nd
DDG with that head shake : "can't believe after all these years I'm still having to deal with Smalling's shite.Rashford is far too greedy for my liking any anytime he tries to pass/strike the ball, he smacks it into a Newcastle player.
Double Djemba?Ouch.As usual we don't have any kind of game plan. Some arbitrary movements by the players and that's it.Everybody looks so slow and uninterested what the feck is this shit?!They keep getting in behind Young and between him and Smalling.Destroying us on the left there, we're late to every second ball too.Hope the early goals aids the chances of seeing a Zlatan cameo.
Thought Jose was good at organizing defences as well.
proving what I've been saying for years: he is not a defender and it's a disgrace that he and valencia are full backs at our club
Probably Massimo Taibi...but he sure is running him close.Best team on paper and we are playing like this. I amwe're getting absolutely rinsedWe're a mess.Our season is going down the toilet.Transition from defence to attack is non existent. Might as well just bring on Zlatan and Fellaini.Matic is offering zero protection to the defence atm.Poor 20mins from us
Every time Newcastle attack look very likely to scoreYoung, Rashord shocking so far. Lindelof without words
Hence the "so far". And we are a goal down.
Can't keep excusing every slow start and poor performance with "only been x minutes in". Been doing that for 3 years.
You're Crackers (agree with your sentiments about Lindeloff)
but just noticed your name)Wow. I literally spent the whole morning cleaning up after a family member with bowel incontinence that had diarrhea, and Lindelof's performance is still more shitty than my morning.
I think he wasn't wors tbh.Need to calm down a bit. They will have a plan and they are playing really well. Solid defence with counters. With a few new playe coming back, I am not really that surprised with the nervous start. This will get better
exactly what i saidCarrying on from the Chelsea game really. Garbage so far.Come on Young, bad cross.- Status
