Lingard already tired, jesus christ, that's like 1 match in 2 weeks.

I think he was injured to be fair.

DevilRed · Mar 19, 2017

Rashford has offered us nothing upfront. fecks sake lad come on and fight for the ball.

Cooksen · Mar 19, 2017

Every time we stop attacking we look significantly worse.

Just attack and get the ball away from our box

This is seriously making me feel unreasonably angry. We're playing 6-2-2 against chuffing Middlesborough.

Good lord.

Playing the United way apparently

Djemba-Djemba · Mar 19, 2017

That smalling error for the goal is incredible.

So clumsy

Sassy Colin · Mar 19, 2017

4 CBs on the pitch, ffs, it's laughable

Irrational. · Mar 19, 2017

I would expect more ambition from a League One side.

IrishRedDevil · Mar 19, 2017

My word, 6 defenders.

Shiva87 · Mar 19, 2017

You can put a carpet on 4 of our players. 1 defender would be good enough to cover that. Leaves us so short in their end. No one to pass to...

darko · Mar 19, 2017

I'm not sure that Mourinho's back six formation (6-2-1-1) will catch on.

Schmiznurf · Mar 19, 2017

I'll be so fecked off if we don't win this.

ManUnitedCanuck · Mar 19, 2017

Mou just did an interview about killing off opponents, and then sits 6 men deep with 2 in front of them.

He doesn't have faith in this side going forward and killing the game off

Huh? We've had several chances from him making good runs. Not lately, but then our midfielders don't seem interested in making anything happen. He can't do it on his own.

Giant Midget · Mar 19, 2017

Mourinho needs some Xanax or Klonopin.

Why is he so anxious against Middlesborough of all teams?

Not sure what you're talking about. When did we convince ourselves that we cannot concede?

I mean that the only thing on our mind is not conceding a goal. We are doing nothing else than attempting to not concede. We are not keeping the ball, counterattacking, nothing.

Dobba · Mar 19, 2017

Hoping the post-match interviewers have the balls to ask the manager why he changed the tactics so much.

m1y2 · Mar 19, 2017

Traore is a monster - new Hazard, even quicker I'd say

Flamingo Purple · Mar 19, 2017

All our players are shot, this isn't just Jose's fault. Can't see us holding on now though

simonhch · Mar 19, 2017

De Gea needs to take 8 minutes to take this goal kick

He hasn't looked interested for 30 minutes to be fair

It wouldn't have happened without the change in shape, we were doing fine before

SuperiorXI · Mar 19, 2017

We're playing Middlesborough!

broccoli · Mar 19, 2017

Players are tired. Very difficult 3 points so brace yourselves.

How many times does jose have to get this wrong to see the only approach when your playing well is to keep playing well. Even at 2-0 if we continued with the same tactics it would be fine - maybe get a 3rd...perfect.

It's so psychologically damaging to say to the team - yep you were playing well but forget all that, we need to defend now and hang on for dear life...it just promotes zero confidence in the team being able to PLAY the game out.

That's Mourinho.

@Raoul did it. Don't know why.

Thanks.

I swear I knew it was him. He locked the old one too, looks like he can't take people criticising Mourinho. Surprised he didn't lock Ibra's too.

Red Dreams · Mar 19, 2017

ridiculous to be runing the clock down against this lot.

Offside · Mar 19, 2017

What is going of with this incredibly defensive tacitcs??

He has always been a dickfooted footballer. Worse technique in the squad.

Did you see the shootout challenge? :lol:

hobbers · Mar 19, 2017

ALL centrebacks on the pitch AND two wing backs AND two defensive midfielders...

When 2-0 up against a side who can't score for shit.....

Sigh.

TMDaines · Mar 19, 2017

It's not just a back 6, but one with Fellaini and Carrick in front as anchors.

Wreaks of desperation doesn't it

pseudo_canadian · Mar 19, 2017

Rashford has been completely useless the past 20 minutes

Janson · Mar 19, 2017

Seems like we're pressing more now in their half. Not sitting back as much.

Why not just control the ball.

We look shattered yet Tony looks fresh as a daisy!

He´s testing counter measures to Roy´s innovative 3-1-1-5 Iceland formation that will set the football world on fire any moment now.

Garethw · Mar 19, 2017

This is embarrassing. We are Manchester United ffs. A side world renowned for its attacking instinct. Hang your head in shame Mourinho. If we drop points here the shit is going to hit the fan.

Their goal was the result of an individual error! It happens! Definitely not a tactical issue! No tactics could have prevented that.

TMDaines · Mar 19, 2017

At least now we're keeping the ball but DDG is injured.

DevilRed · Mar 19, 2017

Too many centrebacks. It just fecks up everyones positioning and responsibilities in marking. Does more harm than good.
