Manchester United 1:0 West Bromwich Albion

RRCE · Nov 21, 2020

Terrible first half performance. I wish I could say I’m surprised. More of the same from Ole and most of these players. Hopefully they can find a higher hear in the second half. Still plenty of time to win this. I’d like to see Ole make some adjustments, and maybe even a substitution or two, to start the second half, but I don’t expect that he will.

LJJT · Nov 21, 2020

We’ve dominated possession and played the game in their half. Martial missed a sitter and too many flicks and step overs. Calmness required

Hester_manc · Nov 21, 2020

We have been the best and Martial should have scored. But we have not been dominant enough at all. I do not understand why Matic should play in a match like this. He is almost superfluous. Swap him out with Donny for the second half.

Red00012 · Nov 21, 2020

The abuse Mata gets on here yet Martial and Rashford are letting the game pass them by .

Hugh Jass · Nov 21, 2020

Horrific first half. We should still win it but it is not good enough.

No collective attacking coaching. Just hope for a bit of magic from Bruno. I think players like Rashford and Martial are getting fed up as well.

Martial should have buried that chance as well, eight yards out.

tumescent stuff really. Like i say, no attacking coaching at all.

We will still probably win though.

We miss pogba

100 · Nov 21, 2020

Is there a way to see our results when Matic and Mata are in the same team? Because I can't remember it going well

TrustInJanuzaj · Nov 21, 2020

I don’t think we have been that bad to go against the grain. Should be ahead

Cavani on for either Martial or Rashford.

Murder on Zidanes Floor · Nov 21, 2020

Martial needs to go. Zero movement. Average finishing. Bruno both sublime and poor. Telles and Rashford haven't played together on the left and it shows. Mata is trying but no one is on his wavelength.

Besides that...

M Bison · Nov 21, 2020

I think i would actually get Dan James on for Mata, i cant believe i'm saying it, but i think it would be better. Give us more of a chance of getting in behind their back-line.

Also, get VDB on for Matic, just to speed things up.

tomaldinho1 · Nov 21, 2020

It’s pretty simple. Double pivot against a low block, 5 at the back team = dull and no goals. Ole needs to take some risk against the teams that don’t attack, we are such a defensive team under him. Matic or Fred can sit alone and bring on VdB to play higher up with Bruno.

Dec9003 · Nov 21, 2020

I’d give Cavani the second half, doesn’t matter who comes off.

Patchbeard · Nov 21, 2020

Cavani and Donny on at HT please. No fecking about with waiting for changes.

Shane88 · Nov 21, 2020

Same shit, different week.

Put VDB on, see if he can unlock them.

Dinghy · Nov 21, 2020

Absolute shit, this team is going nowhere. That right side of ours makes me want to throw up.

Skåre Willoch · Nov 21, 2020

VDB on for Mata? Or does Ole wait the usual 70ish minutes?

No, that would be sacrilege. Don't you know the mighty West Brom have won 3 out of their last 5 games at OT?

Talking about 3, they got 3 points in 9 matches this year.

VivaRonaldo85 · Nov 21, 2020

After 55 mins, Cavani for Mata and VDB for Fred. Like a 4-1-2-3 with Cavani down the middle. Dull as dishwater so far and feels like we’re reversing up a cul de sac.

No Idea For Nickname · Nov 21, 2020

I think we were absolutely great in the first half. But unlucky.
I can be like Ty from Aftv.

Offside · Nov 21, 2020

Ole has just got to that awful point managers get to where they’re too scared of losing. PSG aside where he clearly saw it as a free hit as we were underdogs, we only start playing when we are 1-0 down. All our wins have been where we’re 1-0 down. When are we ever going to get an early goal? The one time we did against Spurs we were 2-1 down 5 minutes later that’s what’s scared the shit out of him.

edgecutter · Nov 21, 2020

We'll have a moment of quality as our team is way better than WBA and win this, but how can we still not have a plan on how to break down park the bus teams.

kopviolator · Nov 21, 2020

I put on my Pogba shirt for this game... Come on....

It's so predictable to see this wooden idealess display from this side. It's no surprise. We'll probably nick this and this whole sorry mess will drag on.

It is better if we lose, sadly.

Hugh Jass · Nov 21, 2020

Jesus Mata having a mare as well. Should have been sold two years ago really.

Ole is way too defensive to he a Utd manager

Unfortunately, I have to agree. Had a big opportunity to make a statement here by playing an attacking lineup to streamroll West Brom and get a big result and turn around that poor home form.

Having Cavani, VDB and even James on the bench means that it can still be done in the second half. Still another 45 to go, but that was a disappointing half.

JinnerJamie · Nov 21, 2020

Why is every low cross being left to run? Why aren’t we hitting shots first time? Why is Fred and Matic playing? Why is Martial still starting?

Borys · Nov 21, 2020

I thought we had a decent first half. Martial should've scored.

tjb · Nov 21, 2020

Our midfield is waaaaay to deep. It's almost like we are playing a 6 4 formation.

NJM78 · Nov 21, 2020

Wow we really are shite. Six games without a home league win and whilst continuing to make bad teams look decent.

Massive half coming up. I think Ole should be gone and nothing will change my mind but some of the Ole in fans must be questioning him should we not win this game. No other manager get's afforded such leniency.

OnlyTwoDaSilvas · Nov 21, 2020

Meh.

At least we have VdB's 7 minute cameo to look forward to.

Genius. Bore the opposition to sleep, or even death, then when that happens, we score and win.

Exactly. Just wanted to write that. Ole is clever guy. He will wait and wait and then Slaven who is naive football romantic will say; lets go for a goal.
Aaaand then we will counter them. Masterplan

He’s afraid to lose. 0-0 keeps him in the job

MonkeysMagic · Nov 21, 2020

Very much a 16th vs 18th team playing each other! For the talent at his disposal, its an utter joke how some fans make excuses for Ole's management.

Only one running and creating space.

Easily not the first one to get replaced.

He does more running off the ball than the rest of the team put together.

He is also the only one with any flair or inspiration.

r0663664 · Nov 21, 2020

What is new?! Toothless at home. Every week, no matter who we play. It is same shit every week, how can we continue to keep a manager like Ole. Go the EPL board and tell them that we want to play away every game. Rubbish.

Ranchero · Nov 21, 2020

Pedestrian, lacklustre, ponderous and uninspired. Was there a point to Fred and Matic in that half.

lex talionis · Nov 21, 2020

Yes, it was shatter Martial’s fragile psyche, but Cavani needs to come in for him ASAP.

Donny on for Matic too.

That is, if we’re seeking three points today. If we’re not and this whole exercise is just a fukking joke, then let’s keep things exactly as they are.
