Kind of what I expected. Reminds me of Celta last year. If they get a goal we are fecked. Our main tactic is hit it into fellaini.Booooo Booooo Frank De BooooooooerHope we kept the receipt for Sanchez. Looks an absolute shadow of his former self.
So you mention 2 players that aren't at the club anymore, and the third isn't even currently a diver. And even then we're talking about a whole league not 1 or 2 individuals.The way we are playing, you’d think we are already 5-0 up and we don’t need to do much as the game is already won
So slow and very negative. Need to step up big time!Dreary all round. Lucky they're crap really. We better not lose this.
Really?
What would you have him do? Personally doesn't bother me in the slightest...
Trust me
Looks like Fellainis been told to push up for long ballsWell if the game plan is to contain them and bore the shit out of everyone, before smashing them 3-0 in the second half, so far so good.
No. His go to move seems to be cut in, then wonderball. Too predictable at the moment.
Not only that, they actually have a goal difference of -6 as well. Truly bizarre team this season. feck sakeWell. We had one great and one terrible half against Chelsea, Liverpool and Palace, too.
Let's hope this wasn't the better one... because then we are fecked. Dire performance so far.We improved towards the end of the first half after a dire start to the game. This game has gotten 1-0 written all over it.Sanchez is the worst player on the field, wtf he is doing? Fellaini was up there with him, but at least belgian had a decent last 10 minutes or so.We need to calm down and play. Stop with the fecking long balls to nowhere! How senseless is that?
You boot it up it keeps coming back and putting ourselves under pressure. It's fecking common sense that shit ain't working so change!
Just relieved we've made it to half time without conceding.If Mourinho wants a big midfielder, go for Nzonzi. The guy is showing up the whole of our midfield. I wished we could put the game to bed by half time so I could get some sleep, but I think they will bore me to sleep anyway.
Mourinho, though a serial winner, is an awful attacking coach. Tired of seeing this tumescent shite. Yes the odd game against the likes of Liverpool can excuse the route 1 stuff, but doing it against every half decent side. Would never want to see that shite at OT. It's as bad and worse than LVG currently.Why are both teams playing as it’s not allowed to move faster than walking speed?Subs id make are mata or pogba for fellaini and martial for Sanchez. Neither will probably happen yet though, especially not the latterThis is appalling.
I genuinely don't understand why people attempt to justify this and label the critics as moaners. By any definition this isn't an acceptable level of football given the players at our disposal.Fellaini is so out of his depth. Get Mata and Pogba on 2nd half and we'll score. Don't understand why Fellaini is in the team. He isn't even winning the headers.
Is it too much to ask to not give the ball away everytime you have it? Baby steps for SanchezMartial for Sanchez, with Lingard in the 10 and Rashford/Martial swapping sides as they see fit?
You would think it would reduce it at least, since that's his go to move on the left wing...
But he's good at one - twos. He's bad at that sort of cross that he always tries. Plus with Fellaini there, it's spreading to everyone else trying the floaters.Not gonna lie I'm a little nervous
Really thought it was going to be easier than this.Sanchez is by far our worst player today. Fellaini is bad but not as Sanchez at all. Most our attacks are destroyed under his legs.
Martial in for him. We can this with some pressure on them.
? Really? Which game are you watching? feck sake
Why did we buy Sanchez? Guy looks lost!Came here to moan about Sanchez but the reality is that every single one of our attacking players have been poor under Jose.
The guy is allergic to attacking football.Despite all the complaints in here we are playing brilliantly so far. No real chances for them at all. Kept it nice and tight. Just need to nick a winner now against a very good side.Dreadful stuff. The top teams will have a field day with us.Yeah, Sanchez not good at all. Mata far more effective in that pos. Lingard not playing well. No glue. Lots of muscle and no glue, lads.Scintillating half
I thought we were great. Same again second half...
He's won 2 out of 5 headed duels. PoorTeam of millions with a football worth cents.Lingard needs to stay on, he's the only run making off-ball runs (as usual).
Sanchez can go take a seat on the bench, tired of him losing the ball pretty much every time he receives it.We are really not very good. Technically we look abject. No connection between the defense and midfield so we constantly hoof it over the top. On top of all of that we have all these much larger players on the pitch but only Fella uses the advantage with any aggression or desire.That was fun, be kept them at bay, JM`s decision to hold onto 0:0 and hope for luck in pens is right one. If we score 1st in 2nd i can see us going full coward mode and hope to clinch for our lives.Embarrassing first half performance. Matic and Fellaini just doesn't work in midfield. What's happened to Sanchez?Blimey that was a snorefest.Nice way to kill the crowd Jose, feckin stupid sometimes beyond believe.- Status
