It's LVG vs LVGWow that was poor. Can’t believe the number of misplaced passes and general lack of quality and hunger in our play.
Pogba doing his usual stroll around the pitch, waiting for the ball to come to his feet, without ever really offering an option.
Smalling lucky to have not conceded a pen.
Jess, Martial and Alexis ineffectual and offering little or no options and meaning we resort to lumping it up to Lukaku.
At least we’ve got Dave.Final ball has been
Looking at the pass again from Matic makes it criminal that Martial didn't score there. Shame.
Apologies about the tone, the performance has upset me!Frustrating.Why is Mourinho so afraid of Newcastle and of being outsmarted by Benitez? Why are we playing like this, with our backline for far back? Why can't we take the game slowly to them like we did Everton away?It's no surprise their is a lack of English players in PL teams. We're starting with four and other than Jones, the other three have been shite and shouldn't be close to being United starting 11 players.We got Sanchez and somehow the attack looks just as clueless at times, whilst fecking around with Martial's and Rashford's development. Nice job by the club.Not a good half. The attacking shape is all wrong.These players don't give a feck. Liverpool and Spurs will overtake us at this rate.I'm less forgiving than gary nev: martial should have scored at least once and although some of the passing has been crisp, at other times it's been laboured, going backwards for now reason. and when is bailly fit because smalling gives me the yips every time he goes for the ball and if pogba is the great player I keep hearing about why is he not dominating the midfield - making shelvey look top class which he isn'tOur games are easily the most anti-climatic part of my week. All that excitement dissipates and you just want to fast forward to the resultNeed to pick it up in the 2nd half.Caf moaning and whinging as always, but after a slow start we grew into the game and were comfortably the better team. Had all the best chances, just a shame we didn't take them as there's no way Newcastle can cope with us if we go a goal ahead.That Martial chance will come back to haunt us. Terrible finish.Lingard needs to start getting involved in games again. He has kind of reverted back to how he was in the last few games.Put Mata on and play a possession game!Our midfield has been shocking. Lingard and Pogba look out of sorts, especially Pogba.Referee has saved our behinds...
I know i was just trying to be a bit ironic/humorous.
When is it ever right? Our attack is consistently wank.We need some structure to our attacking play. Nothing rigid, but definitely something's missing with everyone doing their own thing it seems. At least, that's what my eyes see anyway.Average. Lukaku and sanchez have been terrific. Martial and pogba have been lacklustre. They should have had a pen. Now the referee knows all 5050 decisions will go their way. Fustrating. Decision making and execution of final pass is what seperates us from the very best teams, we are so inconsistent with it.
A decent referee and we could be a penalty goal down.Most expensive league in the world can't find one single decent fecking referee!
Oh my god what have we become. Mourinho, I can't see any tactics. Right footed player can't play as a right winger if he's not 100 % confident.The worse about Smalling's foul is that it wasn't even needed, the attacker was going outside!Its absolutely absurd watching us play a formation with four attackers, and only two ever seem to be attacking at any one time, We need to move lingard ot the wing as he is ineffective, and have Sanchez operating through the middle.
Sanchez and Lukaku are playing well, but It's difficult when only your CDM is playing up to your standard.Not good enough. They should have a penalty.
Fabregas esque.
Well, Mourinho hasn't even tried Sanchez on the right yet.Lukaku’s been good, but too many of our players look like they don’t care. Pogba needs to do a lot better.Passing and finishing was off.
The movement and positional play was good. This formation is working well. It's just the individual performances that have kept us from killing the game.
I hope we persist with this set up for the next few games. We're playing some really exciting football.
So annoying this.Why does Souness get to commentate on every game United are a part of. I fecking loathe the man with a passion.
At least with Henry you get a balanced view.
I'd probably put Mata and McTominay on. We could benefit from winning the ball higher up the pitch.Kinda feel like there are some nice things happening in the game. Martial making penetrating runs, Sanchez doing the same and trying to find each other. Lukaku being a beast and his hold up has been decent.
There are issues like sloppy passing going on but team is doing the right things.Lingard out, Mata in pleaseProfligacy rearing its head once again,oh how we could do with a Harry Kane!- Status
