Some of the players dont quite seem to grasp that this is their opportunity to impress rather than frustrate. Most of these players will not be anywhere near this club in a couple of years.

Jaysus you can't play them all. If Sanchez hadn't of gotten injured Garner probably would have got a run.
Calling him a cnut for not getting out of his seat.Wesley Brown now.. I love these old chants39% possession at home against Reading. Ole channelling his inner JoseRomero is good enough to be the first choice for any team.We totally lack control in midfield... it is so obvious
Romero deserves a starting spot in a premier league team. I’d hate to see him leave though .Chong has looked quick and skillful, but most of his passing has been backwards and sideways.
Would be nice to see more aggression in his passing.
No way! He'd have brought Fellaini on straight after the first goal if he was!76 min
Substitution for Reading
Meite for Harriott.
I don't often pick on him but he's mostly been dreadful since he came. If he could pick up and start producing we'd have a great player on our hands, but so far he's been a major disappointment.This Reading guys don’t seem to tire at all
They're double marking him and no one is making movement near him to offer a pass
Yep. Some terrible finishing and great goalkeeping. Should at least have scored.No O'Shea so? That's a bit shit on Reading's behalf.No O'Shea.. Reading deserve to be relegated
Chong booked
He hasn't really had forward options. The movement is just not there today
I lay a lot of this down to our midfield. None of them can impose any form of control on the game. Shows why they haven’t had much game time77 min
Chong beats two players but then leaves a trailing leg on Richards and goes in the book. Harsh.
That sounds great on paper.Chong bookedHow on Earth is that a booking
Agreed.That's a harsh yellow
Just havent had that balance today. Not only in our midfield but our front three too.A yellow for that ffs.That's a very harsh yellowYeah definitely a yellow ref you prickChong yellow card
78 min
Reading still pushing hard for a goal here. A cross into our box sees three of their players charging into the six yard box but Darmian is there to clear. A goal from them now and it could be a tense final 15 minutes or so.
We need a third goal to put this one to bed, it's been a little too sloppy from us for the last 10 minutes.
Curse of the big hair, you get noticed for everything you do!Jones is lucky Ready are trashThat was not a booking. Disgraceful. Poor Chongy.This game was crying out for O'Shea - would've nutmegged Rashford, lobbed Romero and sealed a United victory with an own goal off his standing leg.Don't like Alexis move. I hope he isn't trying to sabotage Ole.Reading showed up to play. Can't say the same for some of our players.
An in form Fred is a brilliant part of Pogba, Matic, Fred trio. Before United, Fred had a good balance of graft and creativity.Lukaku’s volley passRef: I will show everyone how big authority man I am by giving Chong yellow card! There. I am the man!What’s the lyrics to the chant we are currently singing?- Status
