That was absolutely dreadful that half. Matic, Telles, Martial have been passengers.

More of a goal threat and can move the ball quickly. One thing for sure is matic in midfield is an absolute passengerNot watching the game but has martial actually been bad or we just arent creating anything?There's something to be said for the resolution of coming back from losing positions. But there's something to be said about being in those positions in the first place. Sheffield have 5 points halfway through the season. And you see what City did to West Brom, without their best player?
This isn't good enough.So the ref has decided it is 1-0 to Sheffield, great.Watched the first 15-20 minutes before I had to drive home so missed 20-35... 35-45 were awful. What the feck happened in the minutes I missed!! We were excellent in the first 15-20.We may need a better plan than asking Wan-Bissaka to be our playmaker.Mata, Cavani and Shaw on second half. Mata and Cavani's clever movement is much needed here if we're to win this.
Martial, Telles and Matic could all go. But we need Shaw to give us something the flanks so Telles , and Cavani for Martial.Axel, Martial and Matic need to go off. Fred, Cavani and Lindelof on.This team. Baffling.We need to get Matic off, need a faster transition between defence and attack. Matic always needs fecking ages to make a simple pass and when you add Maguire and Tuanzebe who a doing the same fecking thing, there's no way to create anything.
If things don't drastically change we'd have an absolutely embarrassing loss here.should be 1-1 and its hard against such an ultradefensive side. hope we get an early goal
Out of our 3 forwards you would take out Greenwood?
Tony wouldn't get a start in this Sheffield team with that attitude and work ethics.
The man needs a new head screwed on that talent.Poor attitude to the game. Slow, depressing stuff. Fred and Cavani need to come on to give the game some energy. Can Martial move off the ball? Or is he like DDG? Rooted.They’re leaving AWB completely free on purpose. They know his final ball is mediocre at best and all we are doing is passing it out wide to him. Playing right into their plan.
Both.Tuanzebe has looked terrible. Not very promising.Tuanzebe was poor at the corner and is now on a yellow.
Ole giving him a PL game is going to cost us. He gives him a game but not one for Amad or VDB.
Just why?
Ole, listen to Scholesey.Should be drawing only the ref fecked us over but that's a seriously pathetic first half against a team we should be battering.How can they not be fired up after City's win last night, knowing Spurs and/or Liverpool will be dropping points, with Arsenal coming up. Terrible attitude so far.
Dont worry he'll be good for 5 games just before his contract is about to expire.nothing inventive, no pace, tempo or width and back to being clueless against a side that just sits deep and defends. that said, I know the National League has been suspended but why have we got one of their refs?
Nothing much from Bruno (whenever he's quiet we are in the same trouble we were before he arrive) and even less from Pogba. Martial, as ever, is some sort of joke that I don't find funny. Clueless...- Should have been 1-1.
- Telles has hardly touched the ball
- Matic is useless in this type of match.
- We have to play faster
- More players have to run in the box
- Cavani has to come on.
These sort of performances are exactly the reason why everyone's doubting our supposed title credentials. We play shite like tonight way too often.
Having said that, I still don't understand how their goal was allowed to stand and ours wasn't. You either rule out both or neither.
We can still turn this around, of course, but this has been a dreadful half.
Honestly, I feel the exact same here.Every time I start feeling good about this team
I knew that this good run of form recently was a fluke. I knew it.
No movement from the forwards, they're standing static next to the SU centrebacks.pull Matic back instead of Tuanzebe and put Cavani on. They aren't doing anything anyway. No need for two fecking holding midfielders.Yeah, Martial is a goner. Last season was as good as it'll get for him in a United shirt. Absolutely pants tonight.We don't create nearly enough chances, this is the worst team in the league and we've barely done anything against them. It's shameful really.Bring in Shaw. Our left side is toothless tonight.
Feck off with your agenda posting already!Wow, this is embarrassing. For me, the team selection has too many goal scorers and not enough craft. Its a stupid goal to concede and at the moment we are far away from getting an equaliser.Tuanzebe - not ready for this level yet. Can't even play decent against sheffield
Matic - Not needed in a game like this. Doesn't offer any energy we so desperately need in midfield.
Martial - Doesn't defend, doesn't make good runs, doesn't shoot. Bring on Cavani
Rashford - Doesn't look bothered at all
AWB - Offers nothing going forward.
Cavani for Martial
Fred for Matic
Shaw for Telles or Lindelof for TuanzebeRashford and Fernandes output this season has been mental but when it comes to a team parking the bus their technical ability gets shown up massively. Close control, first touch and passing in tight spaces is pub league level.Unbelievably poor that half. So, so poor in the final third, sloppy and no creativity.
Only AWB looks like creating anything, all our forwards have been dreadful, and Martial, lost for words!
What do you mean, we have been like this for a while, going behind and then relying on a rescue act.Hoping for a 1-1- Status
