It is obvious things are badly wrong, so how long until Ole changes it and will he make the obvious changes.

The lack of pressing by us is fecking pathetic, most of the players are just strolling around, that's just lack of effort and it's unacceptable.

We pressed them well for five minutes and now they all look shot. Just completely spent and now touch and football ability goes out the window.

You're right. Who needs a proven winner, as long as the squad is in perfect harmony, thats all I care about

Sure, each to their own i guess

We will win this and fans on here will think everything is OK.

If we play like this against a top team, we will get embarrassed for sure

Or we draw and they say that City lost yesterday

VivaJesperBlomqvist · Sep 29, 2021

Is this really a team that can challenge for major honours? Clear as day

MrSingh2002 · Sep 29, 2021

Oles making Villareal look like peak Barca.

arnie_ni · Sep 29, 2021

How was that a fk against Bruno. Sorry I'm a bit behind

Tony247 · Sep 29, 2021

Bruno doubling on dalot?

McT is not a good passer, but at least he doesn't miss simple passes as much as Fred does recently. You can make a 15' combination of the simple passes he missed this season alone I think.

And tbh I don't know why people keep saying McT is the worst passer. For example he got one to Ronaldo in the WH match which even Bruno should be proud of while I can't think of anything like that with Fred.

You can only think of that one McT pass because he seldom has that in his locker. Fred is not much better in chance creation but he's a better overall passer. He routinely attempts nearly twice the passes McTominay does per 90 mins and gets higher pass completions, more long balls and throughballs. Every stats collecting site points to this. Their career assists show this disparity as well

After watching City Vs PSG last night, this makes me want to cry. We are so, so poor tactically.

Get these coaches out!

You're not going to play Pogba and VDB in central midfield. You have to start at least one of McTominay, Fred, or Matic. Just continues to show that United's central midfield is severely lacking a good balance without a glaring weakness no matter the pairing.

You are assuming McT is more defensively able than VDB?
Not proven

I doubt at 0-1, the game would unfold the same way

No probably not, but still 3 key saves.

Just exaggerates the point I guess.

Godfather · Sep 29, 2021

Every fecking long ball and cross has been utter wank

48 hours · Sep 29, 2021

Yes!! A shot on target!!

Alvaro Maestre · Sep 29, 2021

Whats Pogba doing as a Striker?

Ayoba · Sep 29, 2021

WE HAVE A SHOT ON TARGET!!!!!

I’m away from my base and don’t have umm, anything. But from the vibes in this thread, I’m not missing much. Maybe we sneak a totally undeserving point or three here, purely on karmic tactical energy.

We need a win. If we carry on against the like of Atalanta like this we will be finished. Is it the OT curse again.

Tony247 · Sep 29, 2021

First shot on target?

Judas · Sep 29, 2021

The lack of an ability to score with these attacking players is making my brain hurt.

united_99 · Sep 29, 2021

Has Bruno passed to a teammate yet?

cj_sparky · Sep 29, 2021

Shot on target

Andycoleno9 · Sep 29, 2021

Ole is so lucky. Any other day we would be at least 2 down.

I said about bring Bailly on and moving Lindelof out wide. Not sure if Bailly has ever played RB. You can tell the crowd are getting annoyed.

Bailly played RB away in Paris when we knocked PSG out and he was so embarrassingly bad he was taken off before HT I think.

I wonder what all the experts who think he can play in a double pivot are thinking right now He’s been invisible.

What do they do in training?

Go out and have fun and make it up as they go along

DDG is keeping us in this. We have a worrying lack of composure recently....

Varane is holding us together at the back.

Sancho looks our most likely player here. Only one prepared to run in behind

Most likely to be subbed.

Godfather · Sep 29, 2021

What is McTominay even doing out there besides jogging around. Such a nothing player

Offside · Sep 29, 2021

We’re not even lacking the passion and desire we just look clueless how to create a chance in their 3rd and wide open in ours.

laughtersassassin · Sep 29, 2021

Brilliant pass by Pogba that

Banana Republic · Sep 29, 2021

We’re not getting into a mess just because Dalot is struggling against a very quick and tricky winger.
Bruno is dogshit again and Pogba is having little impact in midfield.

Red Stone · Sep 29, 2021

We're looking better since Varane's blunder. Villarreal's pressing game is on a completely different level, though.

Ixion · Sep 29, 2021

Every fecking game opposition get 4-5 clear chances against us and we struggle to create any

InfiniteBoredom · Sep 29, 2021

Hook Bruno off, get Matic in and start sending in more crosses for Ronaldo, we are getting nowhere with all these forwards milling about like headless chickens.
