Manchester United 1:2 Sheffield United

Sandikan · Jan 27, 2021

De Gea should have thrown himself to the floor, and really made it obvious. He seemed to accept it without even a moan.

Maguire's was obviously never a foul. He's allowed to bloody jump there!

Huge 45 ahead. We'll soon find out if we're made of the right stuff or not.

This Sheff Utd side are irritatingly weak, but we've allowed them a spawny goal now, so will have to find a superb ball to get through their 5 defenders.

Buttner was twice the player Telles is. Absolute shit in both ends of the pitch.

Telles was lauded at the beginning of the season for his crossing yet I don't think he crossed once today, instead he's been passing backwards.

If you’re not sure as a keeper just fecking go through everyone, keeper will get the decision 99% of the time. Very poor De Gea.

We shouldn’t be in this situation. AGAIN!

Pretty much. It's lunacy to expect a team that goes 1-0 down in almost every single game to achieve much. Eventually your luck will run out.

MrSingh2002 · Jan 27, 2021

Cavani and James for Martial and Greenwood.

Rashford and James on the wing should go round the outside and deliver to Cavani.

Now that, is total and utter bullshit from Peter Walton. Absolutely cretinous explanation there.
Not enough of a shove on de gea? He ran at him and visibly moved him in the air.
The mind boggles.

Literally shoves him away from the ball.

It's worked just fine lots of times against low block teams. That's not the problem.

Its the problem tonight, amongst other things.

Martial and Rashfords link up play has been atrocious. They look a little clueless on how to beat 8-9 players behind the ball.

PoTMS · Jan 27, 2021

Honestly finding it difficult to see where we will get two goals here. Gonna need another worldie from Pogba or Fernandes.

El Zoido · Jan 27, 2021

Martial has been absolutely diabolical this season. What’s going on with him? I thought he’d finally cracked it in the second half of last season.

And he somehow thinks Maguire jumping in the air, not even seeing the keeper, or barely touching him was a foul.

Why? It's even more risky to not attack now.

Lose another goal and we are pretty much fecked as we have barely created a chance.

We only ever seem to be either chasing or clinging on. There's no middle ground, as we're just not ready to dictate the pace of a game and coast to an easy win. It's beyond us.

Yep, we constantly need a kick up the backside for us to get going. We tried to set the tempo from the off today but it was slow and lethargic.
Sorry, but that is a management issue as well as a player one. We dont seem to have much of a clue at present.

Look more likely to concede another at the moment.

You want me to quote your posts in this thread? How many have been on Martial? Feck off with your agenda. Its getting obvious to everyone.

Feel free to.

Think it's two mate. But feel free to send me a link to the Tony Martial foundation, I'll donate, you seem in need of some assistance.

Rashford should have taken his chance. Bruno needs to wake the feck up

When pogba and Bruno are on the pitch together, it never really works out.

Mentality and drive.

Walters_19_MuFc · Jan 27, 2021

Obviously a poor half but if we step it up, then there's no reason why we can't come from behind and win the game. Whilst its not something to be proud of, we've come from behind plenty of times this season.

Massive 45 mins for us.

MiceOnMeth · Jan 27, 2021

How is Telles is 84 rated on FIFA??? He's shite

Didn't help he took what looked like a painful shoulder knock in the first min.

Still seems to have to score the perfect goal, and in tight space games like this is a worry.

Judas · Jan 27, 2021

I thought it would be another tense night but didn't want to be called negative :lol:

we just never make it easy for ourselves.

I don't know for sure we'll turn it around this time.

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.

Nah, other than their goal and one long ball through that ended in a comfortable save for De Gea they haven’t really threatened. Axel has done well with his individual battles and has got the ball into his midfielders decently too. When we aren’t winning all of our players are crap and need selling according to people in here. It was only the other week Greenwood had been written off and needed a loan. :lol:

Eddy_JukeZ · Jan 27, 2021

We just can't keep going behind.

We need more easier wins.

As for this game, I'd get Shaw on immediately.

We need to move the ball quicker.

Rashford-Martial really need to pick it up. They've been dire.

morbidsaint · Jan 27, 2021

Pathetic first half from United. Absolutely useless. Referee being useless ontop of that doesn't help, but this SU should be severely beaten no matter what.

Martial signed a new contract last year didn't he?

No, a couple of years back.

Foxbatt · Jan 27, 2021

I don't know what is wrong with Martial. But I worry about Axel. Our defense without Lindelof is unreliable. They could be good or terrible. With Lindelof it may not be brilliant but it's more reliable. We can't be this slow against teams who defend. We didn't need Matic for these games. There is no movement up front.

Nice to see Peter Walton defend the referee as usual. May as well feck him off BT. Doesn’t give any ground breaking opinion.

Nothing new.

Pointless asking him his opinion when you already know what it is.

groovyalbert · Jan 27, 2021

Any subs?

Lentwood · Jan 27, 2021

We need to seriously look at whether it’s wise to start Rashford and Martial against the low block. They offer nothing in terms of running in behind, holding the ball up, predatory instincts in the box, sharp movement or aerial threat.

He's full of shit, they all are.

Acole9 · Jan 27, 2021

We need to mix it up a bit rather than just keep looking to cross it. Their back five aren't moving and will just keep clearing the balls coming in.

Is it the 83rd minute? if not then no...

Foxbatt · Jan 27, 2021

Has anyone seen the halftime comments from the pundits? If so what are they saying about the goal and our disallowed goal?

pratyush_utd · Jan 27, 2021

Our home form is dreadful. We look lost when we have to create. Bruno lower level is shocking. Sometimes he even struggle to find simple passes

AshRK · Jan 27, 2021

What a shambolic performance. It's like the players don't care about beating and going to top of the table. Need to start well in the second half.

Heinzesight · Jan 27, 2021

Ref and VAR have fecked us for their goal and our disallowed goal but we can win this. Three goals against this shite should be simple...just turn up for the second half and we will do it. Shaw and Cavani would help.

Not enough contact for VAR though. Christ.

Alemar · Jan 27, 2021

We need 2 substitutions at half time. Cavani and Fred or Shaw on

eire-red · Jan 27, 2021

Our zonal marking is so easy to overcome. Occupy Maguire, overload De Gea, and we're likely to concede. You have to have a dominant goalie to play zonal, or else anything around the 6 yard box and you're in trouble.
