Was that our customary 'play well for the first 15 mins than back off and let the opponents have a go'?

Our passing has been awful. Just hoofs
We can't sustain it against this kind of side. I like our approach to the game.sloppy from both sides so far though. keep the fecking ball.It's very harsh to demand much more from Mkhitaryan in these conditions, without Pogba behind him providing balls, he simply has no space.Thank goodness Pogba looks close to a return.Our passing in the final third has been as awful as you'd expect.We lack real game changers in attack. Rashford has moments of class but he's still developing so he can be forgiven. Mkhitaryan should be the main creative outlet but he's just completely hopeless. It's a severe handicap having this lad as our main playmaker, because all he ever really does is lose possession.Some good play but by god the hoofing.
Sad but true. It's like we're back to LVG sometimes; give it to Rashford and let him do something. Not enough interplay and too much individual reliance.Rom's coming to the ball way too much. Theres bag of room in behind their wing backs. He needs to run channels more.
Not surprising as the MF is not as effective in providing him service since the injuries.No ref is buying Herrera's "dive and scream" routine.
He'd want to cut that shit out.We let them back in the game now.The difference between this play going forward and the start of the season is huge.
Big difference I see is that our play through the middle of the attacking areas is non existant. I just dont see anyone picking up the ball in the space between their defence and midfield. It's all long direct passes.Spurs getting into the game now.MehSpurs think it's 2012 and De Gea "can't save from long distance".We have nothing up front. Disappointing.Matic' weekly brainfart there, he is strange.Ander Herrara is going to give me an early heart attack if he doesn’t decide to turn his body and play the ball forward. Has he got whip lash.Spurs in control now. Come on ffs.This is disjointed so far. No pattern of play. Giving the ball away too easily.
Tippy tappy shite.Our typical loss of early momentum occurring right now.
We miss Pogba so badlyWe're giving the ball away too easily.
But then, so are SpursBlimey, atmosphere is proper flat. So is the game.
Agreed! After Jose's comments, I would've thought Bailly would be the shakier of the twoThe hoof people are already coming out of the woodwork.Please don't start sitting back now .Herrera loves a back pass!
Our defence loves a hoof!
It’s a marriage made in football hell!
It really shouldn't be the case. Should we be unable to attack through the middle completely? Odd stuff.With pogba instead of herrera and blind instead of jones this 352 would be perfect. But with this backline and midfield we don't have ball playing playersIs it me or do Spurs have the worst set of chants in the PL after Chelsea?We are we are doing well and in control but yet to dominate because Herrera and Mhkitariyan have yet to impose themselves in the game.
They hold the key for us.This is the worst i've heard Old Trafford. Not even appealing to the ref for obvious fouls on our players.Sissoko
Poch really doing United a favor by playing him.These United players can't be arsed really.Tyler makes football sound so boring
Was thinking the same thing, it's like he can't physically turn or pass forward.- Status
