Eh? We were 4-0 up in the same tie this time last year. Shit football then?Why does every team seem to be a more cohesive unit than us
He was expressing faux surprise that rain was forecast in Manchester ya dope.
I usually think this opinion gets massively overstated and he is usually quite neat and tidy. But not today! He’s been shocking today and looks really weak.
We need to get back on the ball, this is a great test today for us, get more of the ball into Pogba and things will happen.
Yes, MCT deepest, then Pogba with a little more freedom, as seen by that run for the offside, but he definitely has more defensive responsibility than Bruno.Good half. Ronaldo the weak point. Rashford been inconsistent, but he does better for the team on the right than on the left where you use his runs in behind more than anything. We need more hold up play from Ronaldo to really keep it up in the 2nd.good 35 minutes, Southampton got the momentum back the last 10. Only 1 goal again so here comes deja vuDecent start, gradually slowing, expect the usual second half shitshow
Thought Bruno looked immensePlaying really well. Hopefully not just for 45 mins today.
Hoping Matic comes on for McTominay. Wouldn't mind seeing Elanga later on.Our midfield is a problem. Scott is on a yellow and he is shit scared of going for challenges. We have been outplayed in the last 10 mins because we lost control in midfield. Don't have anyone on bench either and Scott can't be a passenger like this.Thought we and Sancho in particular were great in first 20 mins but thought our levels dropped a bit as half went on and Southampton got back into the game. Hope we get back control and get a 2nd goal quickly. Too many 1 goal leads squandered recently to feel comfortable yet.
Bruno quiet doesn’t mean he didn’t stand out. He was very good pressing and facilitating play. That in itself is a standout.think Pogba wants to stay.If recent history is anything to go by, we'll be shit in the second half.
I think at times, there is too much space between McT and Pogba which makes it easier to cut through us
Matic isn't in the team.I wonder who the first pundit will be to call Ronaldo out. He's been really bad however you dress it.
For our sakes I hope he finds something from somewhere because we're in a bit of a fix in the CF positionsDecent until the goal.
Not so good after.
Please can we bloody get an early 2nd half goal
Yeah mate. And when Ronaldo has balloonfoot touches, maybe that's the difference between a pass from Kroos vs Fernandes. Or when he gets tackled trying to dribble with his turning circle of a square, maybe that's the difference between Romeu vs Busquets.
For sure. We are not controlling the game at all. Tbf Southampton are among the best at pressing and it's hard against them and we are not a good team. It is what it is.
4-0 at home to liverpool at half time in a more recent example
i guess that was proper football tooPogba and Sancho are balling. Ronaldo is awful. Sad to watch.
I think we played well for about 30 minutes of that. The lads have to come out and continue doing well. Can't afford to be shit for the 2nd half.Even though the goal didn't stand, that was some unbelievable pace from Pogba.Decent first half, but I don't understand why the players suddenly lose focus around 30'. This is a frequent occurrence by this point.
The weakest link is unfortunately Ronaldo. Almost every ball that went through him was lost. His age is starting to really show.Enjoyable game. We're playing reasonably well and so are Southampton.
Nothing amazing, mind you. But it feels like Rangnick has finally put his stamp on the team. First time I've seen any 'patterns of play' in a long time.
Shots on goal Man Utd 5 - 8 Southampton
assumed Matic was on the bench…in that case unleash Jones in thereGood first half hour but last 15-minutes of that half demonstrates why we've been dropping points despite playing pretty well at times. The balance still looks off in midfield, great to have Pogba's ability on the ball, but we all know about his tactical and defensive limitations. It just seems too easy for opponents to slide the ball into their forwards and play off them.Sancho has been amazing, but can we please talk about Paul Pogba? He just makes everything look so easy.Great game so far. Sancho was brilliant, Ronaldo done. Rashford can't cross the ball. Pogba is great. I hope there won't be the usual second half.Ronaldo looks a spent force.
If Ralf takes him out just wait for another stropVery good 25 mins then Southampton were excellent coming back into the game. Pogba is not quite there fitness wise yet, Rashers has been hit an miss, would move him up top to replace Ronaldo who has been desperately poor.
McT gets little credit but he has won a lot of the ball, needs to be more active in the passing game though.First 30 minutes were really good. Most players played well, Pogba in particular looked a class above while we were dominant. Ronaldo atrocious again, nothing comes off for him.Shame the second goal was ruled out but clear offside by Ronaldo. Think we've been decent though. Sancho in particular looking good. They may have ended up with more possession and shots that half but their chances were nowhere near our quality and we look dangerous on every counter attacking opportunity.
We need that second goal though, I'm tired of watching the same thing play out.Decent performance. Sancho is starting to look the part.
Ronaldo is crap though.
Or is he playing for a move? The old Zaha revival?Good first half an hour, much the better team and fully deserved to be leading, sloppy since then and have allowed Southampton to get a foothold of the game. I'd hope the last 15 minutes of that half isn't a sign of things to come in the second half.
