Manchester United 2:0 Reading

RedDevilRoshi · Jan 5, 2019

Can only think of Romero & Darmian that have done enough for pass marks today?

The rest have been well below par, particularly the midfield three of McTominay, Fred & Pereira.

We totally lack control in midfield... it is so obvious

it's been obvious for at least three years... possible five

...in the Ukranian league. So far I haven't seen any stand out qualities. Good, but not great.

None of us has seen much really. He is having a very average or poor season. My initially post was about not writing him off because of his debut season. We have had great players who did as bad in their first seasons. Fred may, or may not click eventually.

What’s the lyrics to the chant we are currently singing?

To the tune of Waterfall:

"Ole is at the wheel,

"Tell me how does it feel,

"We’ve got Sánchez, Paul Pogba and Fred,

"Marcus Rashford, a Manc born and bred,

"Duh du, du du du du du

"Duh du, du du du du du

"The greatest of English football,

"We’ve won it all."

Ooof.

It's been awful this. :lol:

JezChan · Jan 5, 2019

Reading playing some half-decent football...

Also McTominay and Pereira have improved in the second half IMO, but still wanting more from them.

In what way was that sabotage?

Well it's obvious.

An in form Fred is a brilliant part of Pogba, Matic, Fred trio. Before United, Fred had a good balance of graft and creativity.

I don't see it. Herrera has been far more effective.

Chong has come on, not been given much support and shows his frustration with fouls. The panic is setting in the longer this goes on. Ole needs to mix n’match squads with decent spines to hold together as functioning teams rather than this mess. No one holding the ball and thinking, it’s all kick and rush.

It's because our midfield is so dysfunctional, hardly a good platform for yoots like Chong.

The Firestarter · Jan 5, 2019

Can't stand seeing Young in this team anymore...

Explain?

Ranchero · Jan 5, 2019

Good grief we've got the pass back virus again

We have 6 shots, 5 on target. They have have 10 and 5. We're getting outplayed by Reading at home, quite frankly, despite our lead. Worst game under Ole so far.

ddid you expect anything else? a mix and match group of second string players who are not match fit.

Robbo's Shoulder · Jan 5, 2019

Very sloppy in possession, more like pre Ole this.

Bobski · Jan 5, 2019

Reading deserve a goal(at least)

It's funny that everyone here was compaining about McTominay. And today he was definitely the best of the midfield 3.

put down the beer.

MonkeysMagic · Jan 5, 2019

At an individual level these players appear to be so bereft of technical ability and nous Im struggling to identify them as professional footballers.

Don't like Alexis move. I hope he isn't trying to sabotage Ole.

What does that even mean?

WTF , He sat in the wrong chair, get a grip.

We're so sloppy

Same for me. He is way too clumsy in midfield

Struggling to see what everyone else sees in Chong. Other than his hair of course.

Speed, skill, agility, he has it in droves.

DatIrishFella · Jan 5, 2019

A lot of poor players in this United squad.

It's because we paid loads for him, so he must be good. Might be we have been sold a pup.

Yeah, judge after 15/20 mins of football for a team struggling for rhythm.

JG3001 · Jan 5, 2019

Passing has been incredibly lazy this second half. Some of these players need to show a bit more effort and passion

agreed and there were hints of the same at Newcastle

Loublaze · Jan 5, 2019

Rashford doing too much

Janson · Jan 5, 2019

That was not good from Rashford.

RedNed77 · Jan 5, 2019

el3mel said:
I'm honestly fine with this, got the job done while exposing our second string.

Agreed. We’re going to have off games and I’ve seen us play worse, a lot worse, this season.

It's called trolling.

12OunceEpilogue · Jan 5, 2019

I'm happy to see Chong using both feet. That's a start considering we've had the likes of Tony V out there on the right for so long.

BaseFishing said:
Chong is doing okay but I was hoping to see more from him than he's shown.

what were you expecting to see from a kid in this shit match where the team is just going through the motions?

Ranchero · Jan 5, 2019

I would be extremely disappointed if Lukaku starts up front before Rashford against Spurs

yfoFC · Jan 5, 2019

Rashford (and earlier Sanchez) proving why martial is our uncontested LF

SqueakyWeasel · Jan 5, 2019

VP89 said:
I didn't think Chong was that good from the little Ive seen. He looks nervous today, can't seem to find a forward pass.

If this is all you've seen of him then I'm not surprised!
If that's the standard then we should never play Rashford again either!

BluesJr · Jan 5, 2019

Only imbeciles would judge Chong on this outing.
