Playing down the right is just something we've done for years now, and the players need to get it out of their system. It's so predictable and everyone else knows it.

This reminds me of a few seasons ago when we played brilliant football in pre-season but we were shite when the actual season started.This 3-5-2 really isn't the way for me. We don't have the personnel. Struggled to create anything .I agree with the sentiment that Hernandez should come off. It'd be more beneficial to have both Kagawa and Mata playing tbh. We desperately need that creativity right now.I don't want to lose at home to Swansea first game of the season with Gary Monk in charge ffs
Somehow I thought we were playing Fulham today. Don't know why. Swansea it is then.Too much time on that ball there without actually dribbling much.Rubbish, absolutely no cutting edge at all.
Just like last season, we look like we can be cut open on the counter attack.
Where has the pressing gone?!!!
It will take longer than a month I guess.Mata is completely invisible.Ki is such a composed player.61% possession and not many clear cut chances,sounds familiar.defensively we look utterly pathetic.
midfield we still lack a commanding presence as we have done for far too fecking long, it's like the club just don't give a feck about that issue or something, but it's going to cost us tons of points yet again this year.
with our attacking players if we had a decent CM with Herrera we might fecking do something as well but no chance.no movement when we have the ball.The issue is, if this was still 0-0 we'd be hopeful for the 2nd half and feeling promise in the performance. But we always concede a goal, the defensive side of us isn't good enough.
That Korean is better than all our midfielders except perhaps Herrera.Midfield getting bossed by Shelvy and some Korean
Moyes out! ... Oh wait..
Is Cleverley playing?I think lvg will have to change tactics in the second, 433 maybe. Right now we're in zombie passing modeHernandez doesn't suit this lineup at all.Hernandez has been non existent, that said none of our attacking players are playing today.LVG asking Giggs: "why are they doing that?"Giggs trying to get back into the game? Hopefully he can come out of retirement soon.
I think we need half time badly. They're overthinking things imo and making mistakes because of it.
No, yet someone is still whinging about him.Our back three is too wide apart, especially Jones, whats wrong with this guy?Need to move the ball faster. We just dilly dallying on it too much. Rooney and Mata need to start influencing.The pointless passing between the back 3 is really annoying.Not a great half. Hernandez not in it whatsoever.Pathetic, the optimism in here before the game well and truly killed after that 45mins.We so need a proper CM. Fletcher won't cut it, decent backup to have that's about it.
How much more games must we put up with this ish?!!?!?Ok we have been crap other than our high pressing we have been badCleverley to come on in the 2nd half, United to win 3-1, Cleverley to be rated .1 higher than Hernandez.
It was predictable that he would be non existent. Can't remember many games he's started and actually played well.
You are?? It is something you cant deny, he is invisible much too often. be quiet.
think we're missing Welbecks link up in this line up, chicha has been very poorJones just been awful. Really really awful. ONo excuses. We have created nothing of note against a midtable team.i think there's been too little activity in our midfield, mata and herrerra need to get more involved but are being rightly crowded out.
Because no one is passing to him. We're playing a formation that's supposed to get the best out of him, and then instinctively playing everything down the right wing like we always do, and have done for about 3 years, pointlessly.What a bunch of wankers on this site. It's the first game of the season , if all you care about is marquee signings go root for fecking city!- Status
