For real. We can't outplay anyone in the league. Sheffield United, WBA, Fulham, Newcastle are all games in which we're not producing anything of note, and they are by far the worst teams in the division. Very worrying.

We made a lot of changes and unfortunately are missing DVB, Pogba & Cavani. Rotation hasn't been as simple as it normally would.
What are you on about, he in heads it behind him in to a terrible area. Has no control where he's heading it. Sick of people making excuses for that fridge.
Martial dropped below Firminho’s level months and months ago.
We are playing with 10 men every time Martial is on the pitch.
If I’m wrong somebody point out a single positive thing he did in that first half, not a decent run, pass, linkup, nothing except jogging, losing the ball and mis controlling the ball.
Will change in 78th min
Don't waste your breath mate Ole is not listening
Because Greenwood is the centre forward option on the bench with Cavani out.
Presumably so that if we needed to change the game that the only attacking options aren't James and Amad
Spot on. We are not playing as a team. This is why I keep saying we are poorly coached. There is no movement at all. Not from anyone. They all wait for someone to do something. It should not be like that. Even if we have less talented players their movement off the ball should be a lot better than this.Utter shite all round with fred being by far the worst, he's been fecking useless tonight.We have nothing in the middle of the park. Games like this show up how limited Fred is when the onus is on to dominate possession...Can we sell Martial at half time?
At the very least it would help De Gea realize that we are not pissing around and that his place is on the line except he sorts his shit.Maguire should have done better with the header whilst someone should have won the second ball. Looking at the way Newcastle are taking corners and I think it’s a ploy because they know DDG won’t leave his line. They’re drawing the defensive line out and dropping it into the corridor of uncertainty leaving our defenders back-pedalling to get back in and deal with it.
Looking at it, he didn't intend to head it there, but seems people have decided he did. I'd say it hit him earlier than he expected.Our biggest issue is defending crosses and corners. Deano comes for crosses and corners. No brainer that he will help the situation
Yeah, he is not even close to Dave. It is bs and the myth that he goes out of his line THAT often than Dave. And about shoot stopping which is the most important thing; he is far away than Dave.I'd take Matic off for Mata and Martial on off for Mason.
All the MsUnless an individual piece of brilliance gets us the winner, I can only see Newcastle scoring, that's the sad indictment of this team.
And that's with a good header (usually) in there in Maguire. Have to look at the coaching and the GK.This specific performance reminds me of last season. There's no real route to goal as outside of rashford, the rest of our team has noone to pass to in attack or anyone who could be in attack. No surprise that our form really kicked off when James was off for Greenwood.
a.He doesn't combine with AWB, which means we lose a crossing threat.
b. He doesn't offer a shooting threat, which really narrows out the pitch.
c. we can't pass to him because he's not strong enough to hold possession high, which gives us little time to organize offensively.
d. He can't create space to cross the ball.
When you add this to Martial's lack of movement, you have a completely static attack. Bruno can do all the one-twos he wants, but with no outlet out wide, there is literally noone to pass to.
So again his fault, right?The Ole In brigade will no doubt remain silent on him starting Matic against Newcastle at home.This team just doesn't care. Jogging around, passing to opposition player.. feck all created in that half and defending like we are 10-0 upWould love to see Amad thrown into this game. We desperately need a player who can carry the ball past players. We do absolutely feck all when passing it back and forth in front of 10 players.
Again, have you not seen Maguires efforts on goal all season? He most likely was trying to head it there.
He has also run further backwards to get his head on that, than De Gea would've had to forwards, even if we forget for a second that De Gea has arms.
The fact that De Gea never leaves his line, has conned many of our fans into believing it's impossible to do so.This performance isn't surprising, we have played liked this for a long time and it is becoming so obvious to teams on how to shut us down/ Hopefully we can pull this out of the bag again, but some serious questions need to be raised on the manager and coaching teams positionsOur midfield duo of Fred and Matic is no better than the one Newcastle put out today.Don't think Bruno is too happy these days.
That assumes he has some tactical nous in the first place.
Martial and James have been even worse.
This.Getting so frustrated with this double pivot being played game in game out. Completely pointless against the likes of Newcastle, Sheff United etc. What's more frustrating is when Ole joined, he switched it up regularly.
Play a 4-3-3 with a sitting midfielder and Mata and Bruno in front and you'd get far more control against this sort of team.greenwood for martial now, amad for james at 60 would be my choice
He did back head it, watch it again he is facing his own goal ffs
and people here think he's better than Lukaku - what a jokeWe are unfortunate to have three first choice midfielders out. However, Matic and Fred's preference for the easiest ball at all times is killing us here. The ball is moving forward at a snail's pace and when we get in behind there's no numbers or movement in the box. It's awful.
Believe me, you have a look at some of my posts on this site about Maguire. I ain't a fan of his at all. I certainly don't make many excuses for the guy
I just don't think he's to blame for that goal, personally.Cam see teams man marking Bruno in most games now and just choking off any of creativity...let the others hoof it to each other and run down blind alleys
Amad has barely played any senior football (4 games for Atalanta) and hardly that many reserve games, how have you come to this conclusion? James has played 100 senior games for club and country and you’ve come to the conclusion that Amad is better than James after less than 10 games. 10 games which isn’t comparable to James level of football over the course of 100 games
