Manchester United 4:1 Newcastle United

Rafa knows how to organise a defence - we need to step it up boys now

Bastian · Nov 18, 2017

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.

prtk0811 · Nov 18, 2017

Ashley young has been dreadful.

The god awful positoning prior to the slip didn't help.

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.

How? He didn't play in the international did he?

Goodness only knows.

Kapardin · Nov 18, 2017

Are Newcastle averaging more possession than us?

Attack, other than Pogba, can't string 2 passes together.

FFS stop blaming Lindelof, 3 of our defenders made a mistake there not just 1 guy.

Yeah, the mistake came from smalling and young. Even if Lindelof didn’t slip I doubt he’ll have made up the ground anyway.

Janson · Nov 18, 2017

They're outplaying us right now.

Random Task · Nov 18, 2017

Geordies will just tuck in now and make life difficult.

Kapardin said:
Why are they scything through our defense? At home?

So far, this is a worse performance than the Chelsea game.

15 minutes played.

Good call.

The Firestarter · Nov 18, 2017

Dafuq is this mess in our defense...

Almost 2nd

DDG with that head shake : "can't believe after all these years I'm still having to deal with Smalling's shite.

IrishRedDevil · Nov 18, 2017

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?

Anustart89 · Nov 18, 2017

Ouch.

Abdou0230 · Nov 18, 2017

As usual we don't have any kind of game plan. Some arbitrary movements by the players and that's it.

Prodigy24 · Nov 18, 2017

Everybody looks so slow and uninterested what the feck is this shit?!

bosnian_red · Nov 18, 2017

They keep getting in behind Young and between him and Smalling.

Cross came between the smallings legs as he vacated his position and drifted wide and young totally was invisible.

Ok, thanks.

A sequence of mistakes across our backline.

Kostur · Nov 18, 2017

Destroying us on the left there, we're late to every second ball too.

Jacob · Nov 18, 2017

Hope the early goals aids the chances of seeing a Zlatan cameo.

Thought Jose was good at organizing defences as well.

Thats exactly what happened.

Schoolboy stuff really.

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.

Andycoleno9 · Nov 18, 2017

Best team on paper and we are playing like this. I am

soap · Nov 18, 2017

we're getting absolutely rinsed

Cee90 · Nov 18, 2017

We're a mess.

C3Pique · Nov 18, 2017

Our season is going down the toilet.

dichinero · Nov 18, 2017

Transition from defence to attack is non existent. Might as well just bring on Zlatan and Fellaini.

sizzling sausages · Nov 18, 2017

Matic is offering zero protection to the defence atm.

pjaya · Nov 18, 2017

Poor 20mins from us
Every time Newcastle attack look very likely to score

Escobar · Nov 18, 2017

Young, 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.

What the feck is Mourinho thinking with some of his signings. Miki isn't good enough for us, and neither is Lindeloff.

You're Crackers (agree with your sentiments about Lindeloff)
but just noticed your name)

Friction · Nov 18, 2017

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.

Darkhorsez · Nov 18, 2017

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

Carrying on from the Chelsea game really. Garbage so far.
