Poor Rory.I forgot to do the score prediction. Bugger.
Oh well!
Performance has been ok. We looked decent before the Lingard injury then we lost our rhythm a bit. Good reaction to the goal but we've looked toothless up front. It's pretty much the same thing that's happened in all of our pre season games since Welbeck got injured.
Youngs been disappointing, he's looked really timid.
Exactly. There are players who deserve zero opportunity and that has to be made known to everybody ASAP.Too slow, too much long ball, no attacking threat on left.
Mata not in game at all.
He is.
Unfortunately I don't think there's room for that type of player in this system unless they technically gifted and able to hold the ball up really well (e.g. Van Persie).Cant see all the pass and movement we saw during the pre season. There seem to be no pace in our passing. Looking very tedious. I hope LVG tears the players a new one. Looks like the players thought ,Swansea are gonna come at OT and rolll over for us.
Players need to wake up and wake up soon. I dont want the pre season to be a false dawn.
Yes, he is horrible to listen to but he is right though. The ball movement is far too slow.
got no pace in the side... No excuse to be passing at such a slow tempo... Same problem as last season, we need to move the ball quicker!!!
Still better than Rooney,no midfiled doesnt help either.Hernandez should only stay here if he's prepared to be used solely as a super sub. He's been terrible so far.Look who is in Bein sports tv, it's David Moyes. Let all the grudge to come out.I agree with bringing Nani on for Hernandez, moving Januzaj a little further up front and having Nani take his role. Chicharito is way too one dimensional to be kept in there and has offered nothing in this half.hernandez has done well
dude,stop.
Finally some sense in here...
One bad half and everyone's suddenly saying LvG is not good enough, bring Moyes back, we'll finish 10th, etc. some people here...
Sadly this.
Don't go getting yourself banned. You're lucky the warnings are currently bugged for me.Some of you lot are truly amazing.
We've not been good, but then again, I never expected as much as you. A decent preseason run doesn't say much. The PL is a very tough league.In fairness, having to take Lindegard off disrupted us, probably more than it should have.
Things will be different in this second half.
Keep it classy.
Secondly, I agree that the defence looks shaky, but what did you expect with so many defenders missing?
Finally, the game is not over, in case you hadn't noticed so quit your meltdown.
Wilson is not on the bench.
remaining subs are Amos, James, M Keane, Fellaini, Kagawa, NaniGet Mata and Rooney more involved.Matchday threads are normally awful, but with the newbs in here, this one is impressively stupid.
He needs some help in there defintely. He's a tough little bugger, but he can't do it on his own.Fellaini on for Fletcher..
This isn't even his preferred formation, he's playing to the strengths of the team.
FFSI must say I expected defensive problems for us in the early part of the season. We are trying to adapt to a new shape defensively. Added to this is the fact we have a lot of young players playing there due to injuries, and the wing-backs aren't natural defenders. I expected that stuff and understand we will have problems there. Where I'm surprised and disappointed is with the forwards. With the quality we have up in the attacking part of the pitch we should create plenty of chances. That part of the game has been very lacking today, and needs to change quickly if we want to be back in this game.The problem is when they tried to attack they attacked with ease and not looked intimidated by our midfield or defense.That's my problem.We need two classic defenders and one box to boxcentral midfielder.Feels like a bit of a let down just now, all this great football and results in pre season then when it matters we bottle it!A loss would be as clear as a a sign gets to sign some more players.I have always wondered what LVG must of thought when he started working with our squad, he must of been shocked at how poor it was when you take into account we are one of the top 3 biggest clubs in the world.
Fergie is a legend that did wonders for us but his brilliance really has masked just how average our squad is and has been for 5+ years now.
This.Matchday threads are normally awful, but with the newbs in here, this one is impressively stupid.
Some of the comments are nothing short of shocking.I thought we were fine up to the goal but the last 5 mins of the half was not united. Well it's united. It's never easySlow and uninspiring. So much so I almost fell asleep.
Should probably step it up a tad.- Status
