Fair enough. It makes me more confused when I look back at some of José's team selections. It's as clear as day who the best players in the squad are.

Fair enough. It makes me more confused when I look back at some of José's team selections. It's as clear as day who the best players in the squad are.
Fred has been fine. McTominay for me is not good enough. I hope Chong gets a run out and why is Gomes not on the bench. I just don't get how Mason Greenwood is not even on the bench for this.Midfield bar Fred haven’t offered anything. Think we need to replace one of them for Rashford or martialFred couldn’t hold the ball in a bucket.Is Mourinho sitting in the dugout for us today? Zero intensity speed or desire from our team.Second time Reading have carved us open
I wouldnt go as far as saying he's terrible. He's too slow and weak to be playing rwEven Mata's first touch is letting him down today.
Because 90% of our attacking plays originate from the left flank, it's only natural for our right wingers to drift inside. Lingard does the same thing.
It looks like he's trying to get stuck in, it's not really his speciality to get tackles in though, he's not a no.6.I'm not happy with how poor this is
The fact he tried to fight against that makes him even more insane.Fred looses the ball too much
I don't think it's the players per se. It's just difficult when you never really play together.
That by Fred was so poor.
Errr no.
Squad players, every team needs them.Reading’s decision making in the last third is going to cost them a place in the next round. If they were a bit smarter they could be 2-1 up.Reading have nothing in the final 3rd. All that possession is pointless if you can’t create a chance at the end of itGood feet from Andreas
Dreaming of Dubaibit chaotic this - giving the ball away far too easily - Fred in particular strugglingBetter opposition would be murdering us today with the space in front of the back 4, midfield has been dreadful defensively.
Yeah but you said he was doing nothing or something, he is, he is attacking, if we have 7 players who can contain readings attacks, it gives the front 3 more chance to purely attack?
Ronaldo didn't defend, ronaldinho didn't defend, Messi doesn't. A lot of attackers in front 3s don't defend. Salah is a good example for Liverpool.Happy to give Fred time.as he's still adapting, but it's legit criminal he has more minutes than Andreas this season.Our defence completely awol.
Underrated.McTominay won’t be here long I think.37 min
Lukaku sets up Sanchez on the left and he dribbles into the box, he's tackled but Ilori makes a backpass to the keeper in the 6 yard box and Sanchez nearly closes down Jaakkola before he can clear the ball.Fred losing it carelessly againSanchez needs to shoot a hell of a lot earlier.That should have been a nailed on goal, ffs!
Behave, what are you watching.Reading look the more coherent team.
Thank god. Taking up space in the squad.
Except he can hold the ball and pass, he's one of the best passers in the team. If you're going to make up shit about him to reaffirm a bias, at least make it believable.Sanchez
Making Lukaku look competent
Any manager who wants the team to play a bit of football will have him out the gap.What's that the chant the United fans are singing? Sounds vaguely like made of stoneFor an experienced player, Sanchez gets into good positions and messes up exactly like Lingard does sometimes. This is only Reading and he's still not acquitted himself so far.Has Mourinho come back to the dugout for one time only?
Thank you, it's getting quite appalling on here!
You can take the player out of Arsenal, but you can't take Arsenal out of the player.- Status
