It was, but there was nobody there to take advantage.

A good cross is when you aim at someone, a cross in a good area but without nobody there to attack it isn't a good cross.

Moriarty · Dec 19, 2015

Was was that from Carrick? Looked like he took a poke at the Norwich player there.

LeftyBlaster · Dec 19, 2015

Ffs Mata why hang back there? Give Martial a supporting run in behind

Hammerfell · Dec 19, 2015

9.5 Ashley.

stubie · Dec 19, 2015

Same old shit!

Start bright and then go off the pace after 15 minutes.

Commentator said that was a good cross from Blind. I disagree completely.

He put it in the perfect place, if Rooney was on the last man ready for the cross he could easily have made it. The problem was he was 6 yards away so he made it look a bad cross, he just doesn't have the energy to get it, I bet Hernandez scored that.

This is why i don't want Rooney anywhere near the team. The cross from Blind was perfect and the lazy Wainyyy didnt even bother trying....

It wasn't a perfect cross at all, and if anyone was meant to be near it, it was Martial who was too far away.

Our captain should be attacking it but he's shit.

Hernandez - BFA · Dec 19, 2015

Bloody hell, just heard the statistic that we average 3 shots on goal per game. I knew it would be low, but not that low :lol:

The area was good but if no one is there in the first place it serves little purpose.

sunama · Dec 19, 2015

72% possession.

Cheesy · Dec 19, 2015

Decent bit of movement for once before that effort.

Really?? We still look bright and playing with intent to me

Rooney in Paris · Dec 19, 2015

Tough tackle on Rooney after the shot.

I reckon you should take a look again.

I don't think that's fair, players should be attacking good areas.

And as per usual nothing to show for it

Can't see anything but a win for us. Having listened to the press conference I cant t see him getting the boot. He and United took a calcuated risk in letting so many players go, to give our youth an opportunity. As I have mentioned before I do think like Fergie in his first 3 years he is building a platform for future success. Seems to imply, maybe not intentionally, that Fergie may have taken his foot off the pedal in his latter years leaving quite a large overhaul. Something that Moyes was not up to recognizing or doing something about. I am looking forward to LVGs last year, couple of real stars aged about 25 or 26 would put the next manager in a wonderful place.

Fair summary. Today's team should beat this lot.

Before this game, in the last 3 games, we got 50 shots (on/off target).
This was without Rooney.

Kostur said:

Indeed. This is why we have to aim the ball at him because he just can't move anymore.

bosnian_red · Dec 19, 2015

Pretty good so far from everyone I guess? Mata the standout so far.

They were worse in the first half against Everton last week, completely different side in the second half though.

I'd return the advice.

shaggy · Dec 19, 2015

Nobody is attacking these crosses.

prath92 · Dec 19, 2015

Not sure if Blind or Messi :P

Agreed. It was too close to keeper imo. I've seen better.

spontaneus1 · Dec 19, 2015

Danny Bind? :lol:

They should but they don't, it's United players. Basically zero attacking intent, therefore the crosses have got to be even more precise than ever.

Reddevilboy · Dec 19, 2015

My god...if we don't get 3 points today.

Sied · Dec 19, 2015

This is really good prolonged pressure. I just worry it's about to fade off as usual.

Pace and strength completely gone sadly

Seriously? This is tactically unlike what we've been doing all season. We're looking like we can keep this up and probably get the first and following goals. We've looked far less dynamic and creative earlier this season, and I reckon we're in for a good showing so long as we don't lose concentration, especially in defence when they get their inevitable chances to create something.

JPRouve · Dec 19, 2015

The commentators laughed at the idea of Simeone or Guardiola to Chelsea.

Stretford End Phil · Dec 19, 2015

Do we have a team aversion to getting in the box? It's almost an allergy!

Samid · Dec 19, 2015

Good clearance Mike!

Oh wait, it was in the wrong box.

JTW95 · Dec 19, 2015

Always the case when we play at home. All over them but not really making much.
