Bar the goal, not enjoyable at all watching us camped in our half and consistently giving the ball away. Fred in particular has been poor.

Ooooh that one touch ball by VDB to put it through to Fred in the center was sleek.
That's the kind of move that leads to chances.We need fred in winning the ball back but we don't want fred in attackVery disciplined in defence but we have to start playing and getting on the ball. We've been penned in our half since the goal.
We've stopped Leipzig from creating anything clear cut but if we keep letting them have the ball they'll get more joy as the game loosens up.Happy enough with that at half time against the German league leaders. Only complaints was the few sloppy passes. I'll be more than delighted if the match finishes 1-0.AWB quic developing into one of the best RBs in world football.
Certainly the best defensively.We’re playing far too deep to compensate for the fact our centre backs can’t run.Overall it's a good game for us until now. Defensively we have been very strong. But we need to get back some control of midfield. At the moment we were inviting lots of pressure back on us.Not the best of halves performance-wise. We are not creative enough, Martial is non-existent. Matic and VDB are also not having very good games.
Bissaka is the best so far, also happy for Pogba and Greenwood to get an assist and goal, respectivelyKonate has been Leipzig's best CB IMO. A real class act.Diamond is a horrible formation. So narrow, hence no out ball from the back.
Robben was a RW ?
I think that's what Jose was talking about when he was saying other people have to cover for his discipline (or lack of).Enjoyed 30 mins then we gave the ball far too easy. Wasn't only Fred ....Excellent up until the goal and then really awful. Weird half.
Its appropriate to wear black when you're burying an opponent.
Ya since PSGWell, I'm not gonna complain. Up 1-0 at the half, and we should probably have had two more. Leipzig have pressed hard, but I don't feel they've created any real chances.I think we started well and then after the goal went a bit shit. Lots of hoofing it and not getting any control towards the end of the half.
Problem is it’s so narrow it makes it hard.
Interesting stuff though, feels like when we get a counter right we will cut through these, but we keep picking the wrong pass/their pressing keeps preventing the momentum.The positives :
Very good start and the system was working out
Greenwood continuing to be a perfect finisher
Great position to be in at half time with a goal up
The negatives :
Matic twice, Fred twice, Shaw once, Maguire once all giving the ball away when we could have kept it with either being caught on the ball or a lack of composure and just whacking the ball clear when there was time to find a better ball. We need to do a lot better at keeping the ballGot sloppier as the half wore on. Would like to see VDB dropping a bit deeper to knit things together as the few times he has he’s been very tidy. Martial and Greenwood look lively enough we just can’t get the ball into them at the moment.
He has also been good, a weird mixed performance from him.Very solid half. Greenwood's finish was class. Hopefully we see more of this formation in the league.
Don’t be silly. We scored a great goal. You can’t blame him for that.Utd passing around too deep against a pressing side allowing them to step up in defence and condense the space.
A few balls over the top will be a relief, stretch the pitch
Except he's ruined the game like most European refs. The one against PSG was the best I've seen in years in Europe, didn't just blow his whistle for nothing.
We've carried Martial so far this season. He's been dog shitIf we're going to be this deep we may as well get Rashford on and truly go for the counter.All our build up needs to go through Maguire, and that’s where our problem lies.
He's AWB in midfield, pretty good covering ground and defending but horrible going forward.I need to pissBissaka has been great. Maguire needs to a bit more courageous with the ball at his feet. Fred needs to release the ball quicker to the forwards. Need to stop sitting back. Or an equalizer looks inevitable.You give the ball to AWB, just expecting him to lose it.
Would be tough for AWB to close the left side too, but wouldn't bet against it.I would be happy if this stays as 1-0. It's just a case of securing the win without any big injuries and then moving onto the next game. Have to get into that machine-like rhythm.AWB has been our best player so far this seasonThank goodness we have a striker that only needs one chance, because it's not looking like we'll be having another.Our attack has been non existent. Martial has been shite with the few touches he has had. Greenwood classy as usual and thank God he finished that chance because it looks like our chances will be few and far between. Pogba has also been very good. Van De Beek besides a few good touches has been quiet. Our defence and Fred/Matic in front of them have actually been very good defensively but awful going forward. They're struggling to beat the press.- Status
