We'd be a goal or two down if Moreno was playing for them.As bad as anything under Moyes. We should be three or four down.Sancho has been good which means Ole will sub him for Matic and bring Pogba in Sancho position.But... Real Madrid just lost to nobody also?? #olesin
He certainly isn’t the answer so rap upDefend as a team, attack as a team. This simply isn’t happening. None of our front 5 want to defend, and this is why we are being exposed defensively game after game. The whole team set up is completely wrong and that’s on the manager.Ole's team wasnt this bad last year. What happened ?
We swapped a willing runner in the front in Cavani with CR7 AND want to accomodate Bruno and Pogba on top of that. This team lacks balance and it shows.Dont worry "we'll dust ourselves down and have a reaction in the next match" probablyPogba needs to get next to McTominay, stay next to him like glue, he keeps vacating that spot and McTominay is wandering around pissing in the wind and they're getting joy on the counter.I think we need to take Dalot off and get Eric on. Just need to close off their only attacking ploy.
This is not 4-3-3 by any means. Not even close are you watching the game?
Who would we play instead? Fred? God help us.
It's more than 3. Dalot is shocking but there is a head of steam and acres of space by the time they get to our defensive third.
Yup - it’s 4-0-4Ole does give pretty decent half time talks. Still hope.
This, he's got nowhere to hide this season, no more excuses about not being supported in the transfer market
I said when this group was drawn it should be a sackable offence for not getting out of it....
I wouldn't have renewed his contract, the signs were there last season, hes out of his depth its time to thank him for the foundations he's laid but it's time to goWe are so open at the back it’s untrue.
Dalot & Telles in big trouble but it’s not just their fault.They ain’t getting much help from Greenwood & Sancho.
Pogba doing nothing.McTom doing nothing .
Bruno & Ronnie struggling.
Sancho should be on the right.
Greenwood needs to sharpen up.
DDG clear motm.
The major problem as always is the glaring hole in our midfield.
Cue in Wumminator making a thread about it, quoting hundreds of posters from this thread.Horrible first 45… but it’s even.
2nd half changes will be the differenceHopefully some of the senior players will sort the dressing room during half time.
Mate I think it’s the first time I’ve looked forward to one!
We need Pogba in the centre for his passing tbh.
Only one out of him McT and Bruno to do anything
Though I'm not saying he was great just slightly betterBruno 'double edged sword' fernandes
That’s fair.@VidaRed I'm sorry I was doubting the gods!Dalot needs help. Greenwood is doing nothing to support him and Danjuma is just too quick for him.
One of the attackers needs to come off for Fred. McTominay is a passenger and we need to stop them running at our defence every 5 minutes.
So, Ole will most likely bring Lingard on for Pogba in the 88th minute.
Did not see the threat to be honest. We are pushing a bit but there is no ideas in the last third. The story of the season so far.
Well?
Only DeGea was decent.
I agree, I would have had cavani from the left
it’s also clear that there is NO formation where Pogba and Bruno can play good teams together. It’s unfair on McT to try and cover the pitch himself
Have you seen the team improve from last season? If he loses this it’s 3 straight home loses and prolly out of the Champions League. He should go but he won’t cause of fecking sentiment.Ronaldo has been utterly useless, providing nothing in attack and when we're not in possession. Cavani would be better at this point, regardless of the service, because at least he works extremely hard out of possession. Ronaldo will look horrible if we don't provide a functional team around him, which we have completely failed to so far in this match. The midfield is a disaster, don't need to say much there, anyone with half a brain can see what's wrong.
The defensive organization is a mess not just because we are playing with only 1 midfielder. Even with 2 CMs we have had major issues this year. Cuz fundamentally we are not compact. Period. It is not personnel/formation.I'm beginning to doubt that we will win this... or indeed any of our remaining group games.
Positive there will be no Thursday night football.... that's a positive right?
Yeah it's going to be a problem all season.Positives:
David De God
Sancho
Bruno
Varane
it's only 0:0
Dalot's 1vs2 situation
Negatives:
Ronaldo
Dalot most of the game
Varane's mistake
Telles offensively
midfield
Pogba's hair!We look so bad because we don't know what we are doing. This shows more that it's individual brilliance that has got us where we are.
They play as a team. We play as individuals and that's why when our player has the ball, they have three players on him.
Of Course, A CDM will make us treble winners.Poor half. There's no hinding from that, no matter how much I would like to silence the incessant moaners. Particularly, the first 30 mins were poor. I thought we improved somewhat after that. But it's just not working. When your goalkeeper is by far your best player, that's never a good sign. De Gea has been brilliant though it must be said.
Villa could've beaten us 0-4 considering the host of chances they missed in that game. Our defense looks even weaker now. Some of our upcoming opponents won't be so wasteful- Status
