I'd take Joshua King over this version of Ronaldo. Couldn't give a feck about the amount of tap-ins, he's shite.

Ronaldo is a problem. Yeah, I said it.

He's a massive problem. Him and that midfield

At this point we can't keep blaming the lack of this or lack of that, we know what we are and we know what we have, play a system that works with what you have.

Agreed.

groovyalbert · Jan 3, 2022

Can't believe in saying this, but Ince is right there.

Going forward, we look like a team of individuals. Sancho also just not there.

Artimities · Jan 3, 2022

as a United fan, I didnt like what I saw. As a fan of the game itself, its easy for me to say that is why they play 90plus minutes. It is hard to watch us come out and play the same way every game.
Come out sluggish and often give up goals quickly. I see less goals scored against us lately, but we just look broke in front of goal. A couple of changes can flip the whole game. The wolves are where they are for a reason so I will wait until the end of the match.

This was Ole’s downfall.

you do wonder how good we would be with a world class midfield.

redshaw · Jan 3, 2022

No Bruno giving the ball away or Rashford but we're still playing awful. We have so many players playing poorly for months it doesn't matter who we leave in or out.

He's been our best attacking player first half.

He creates huge problems structurally. We aren’t good enough to carry him at present so he needs to move out until we can figure out a way of playing that has so much more intensity and aggression.

Paul Ince is thick as shit

Scarlett Dracarys · Jan 3, 2022

Let's go!

Green_Red · Jan 3, 2022

Ince and Redknapp haven't a fecking bean between them

When your midfield is an issue, how do you fix it? Mcfred do not know how to pass 5 yards properly on a consistent basis. Your rb and lb cannot make decent runs or cross the ball. Ralf is a technician not a school League coach teaching how to pass to 5 year old kids.

We have pathetic players who need to go. It's most of the team which is infuriating as a lot of money has been spent on buying these duds.

I tend to agree with you but Ralf has had zero impact so far imo.

It isn't Rangnick's fault our midfield is shit, he inherited McTominay, Fred, and Matic.

And VDB Bruno and Pogba

I don’t really see why the post you quoted was particularly unfair?

Counter pressing.

We've figured out how to counter the press.

Our own.

they’re not wrong though.

ShinjiNinja26 · Jan 3, 2022

I still can’t get my head around why we looked more like a Rangnick team in the first half of his first game in charge than we do now 6 games in. If anything we’re regressing rapidly.

He's been injured the whole time, ffs, how can it be his fault?

Sancho.....cannot pass

The jokes in this thread are getting as bad as our play :lol:

PoTMS · Jan 3, 2022

How is it obvious to even Jamie Redknapp that we need an extra midfielder in there?

bosnian_red · Jan 3, 2022

Sancho really hasn't clicked so far, but i see the talent, the vision, the touch and quick thinking, as well as how he can suit the team when it clicks. He'll come good. Really not worried about him. Same with Greenwood.

I just don't see any natural fit or required current level from the strikers and the deeper midfielders though. We all love Ronaldo and he has his uses still, but he's not a striker, and shouldn't be starting every game.

Ralf's football seems reliant on very mobile, good ball playing midfielders and attackers who can press all game long.

We are pretty much devoid of any player who can do that.

That is literally "gegenpress".

Ragnick needs to find a way to utilize Ronaldo who is a very stationary forward.

I love that Ronaldo is here, but the man is throwing our entire match structure out the window.

That just there shows how far from the same wavelength Cavani and Ronaldo are

Ixion · Jan 3, 2022

I think we win this 1-0 but I just hope that doesn't mean Rangnick decides to blindly stick with the same XI

calodo2003 · Jan 3, 2022

Just now watching the match. Why isn’t Bruno playing?

Dudu · Jan 3, 2022

Decent Start to the 2nd.

But the other 3 attacking players aren't providing enough of either

ForeverRed1 · Jan 3, 2022

Sancho needs to study David Beckham. He was a top winger and didn’t have pace. He just had such incredible technique and vision. It more than made up for the pace.

groovyalbert · Jan 3, 2022

Better start

Gehrman · Jan 3, 2022

I don't think it helps that our 2 strikers are ancient.

arnie_ni · Jan 3, 2022

Why hack him down there ffs?

Agila Dathi · Jan 3, 2022

Stupid foul from McTom

Pretty sure he's never heard of him.
