An oddly muted, complacent showing. We're not so good we can get away with that.

That was like LVG-ball. So slow, always sideways, zero-risk. Need to move the ball quicker. McT or Fred would have been a much better option than Matic.
Still, regardless of how bad it was, we shouldn't be 1-0 down. It should be 1-1 at best, or still goalless. How one goal was allowed and the other wasn't is senseless.Shocking first half. Don’t think any player can come in and half time happy with their shift.
far too slow and the accuracy isn’t there. Bruno and Pogba have made some awful passes.
need to wake the feck up - get Cavani and prob Shaw on. Better shape and someone to take on the 38 year old Jagelka that Martial and Rashford seemingly can’t doIf you wanna score against us, there's really one tactic you need to master. Win a corner. Score.I think I'm going to suffer an aneurism watching us one of these days...
Though that might be preferable giving the shite we served up in the first half.Think I’ve given up on Martial now.
Creating nothing, but his movement is poor for a player leading the line.Thats it time to turn over. I've wasted enough time watching this crap.Telles and Martial have been extremely poor. Compared to what Shaw and Cavani offered against Liverpool.All this talk about Martial but Rashford and Bruno have been worse.Just remembered de gea is the best paid player in the league. feck my lifeZero movement.
Passing tempo is terrible.
can’t see where a goal is coming from
We have been crap and should be level but for Atkinson and his band of clowns.
Sutton explains a lot.
Indeed. But we have to win.. which means at least two goals and I have no confidence we can keep a clean sheet in the second half. And if you cannot keep a clean sheet you are not winning any titles.People have to calm down with their meltdowns. Game is not even over and we're labelled wank.
These pathetic knee jerking are annoying.
It's never being on the end of shite refereeing decisions, but let's not pretend even for a measly second that this ref is against us because he's from Mersyside.
It's bollox."we won Liverpool, we can win Sheffield United easy"
I think that is our celebrity diva footballers thinking. Fine them 1 weeks wages if they don't win this one.Despite all the hype we still can't create against a team bottom of the league with 5 points. Can't defend corners and concede first early on at Old Trafford.
Bollocks! He’s created loads of chances around the box.Feared this type of slow uninterested performance. We'll never win the league with this type of attitude to the smaller teams.Absolute garbage. The officials should be out explaining themselves at full time about those two corner incidents but we have been truly woeful. Passes going astray left, right and centre, players not on the same wavelength, dreadful tempo etc. I expect rockets up arses at half time and maybe a change or two.At this point, I'd have Ighalo over Martial any day of the week - christ almighty he's playing some dreadful football.Bottom of the league performance no chance we win the league. This has happened to many times and will bite us sooner than later.
i thought Rashford looked fairly lively. Sad that AWB was our best outlet though.You can't win the title if you make every single match a slog.
We're halfway through the season and we've had one comfortable win all season.446 passes for seven shots! They had more on target than we did!Martial doing absolutely nothing. Get Cavani onThis the game why we need McFred. The pogba-Matic pair is wat too slow to move the ball to the final third.Why did I think this would be a nice comfortable victory?
Cause you’re a glass-half-full kind of guy?
This is brutal stuff
At least those two have performed this season. Martial has had a horrendous year.
They're using it wrong. They're saying the ref sees it and he hasn't missed anything (i.e. Nothing out of his eyeline).
They shouldn't be that black and white. I don't want them looking at everything but if it relates to a goal and you think it's not clear cut, ask him to have another look.
Those two would have taken a minute each and could make the score 1-0, 0-0 or 0-1.
We don't use VAR for these (and on third look, their goal/push looks worse than Maguires) but we do if an armpit is a mm behind a defenders toe?
Wish I’d never have to see this again. Makes my blood boilAxel gives a free kick away so naturally on here he’s rubbish and always has been, I know it’s the match day thread but fecking hell.
It's the way he has been opened through by Sheffield United.
Balls literally cutting him and Maguire open like our opposition is made out of 11 ozil's.
Tuenzebe is not as good as Maguire, so I'm not going to point our defensive problems in this game at Maguire.
The corner was partly axels fault too.Hard to understand such a flat performance with so much on the line. Hope Ole has a turbo hair dryer running in the dressing room.
Defending players regardless of performance poster alert.This shows Ole cannot afford to rest certain players. Their replacements are just too poor.
Very disappointed by Tuanzebe particularly, Martial has been his usual atrocious self so farSU , doing a job on us, I wish I could say I couldn't see it happening, but I could, when a team is fighting to stay in league this happens. 2nd half Cavini needs to come on , Shaw to give us some impotence down the left, AWB is having shed loads of ball doing feck all with it. There dangerous on counter . Set pieces again getting undone. Poor.
Yep. No penetrative ball progression from deep without him. Telles is being afforded the entire flank because Sheffield know he hasn’t the legs to do anything with it.This isn't about subbing x on for y - we should be able to keep possession in advanced areas against SHU playing a back 5. Ironically it's riskier being too defensive against these kinds of teams because the gulf in quality is so big, it's better to be front foot and playing passes in advanced areas given their threat is so minimal.- Status
