Valencia is definitely the weak link here. our CBS are being exploited by the space he's leaving, and they're attacking the space between him and Mata to great effect.Valencia offering nothing. What’s the point in him?Missing Lingard on the right I thinkValencia is done. Legs are gone and it looks like the brain has a bit.
It was an absolute disgrace from a captain. He was watching the whole thing unfold and didnt even get into a light sprintThat Atsu be the some of the worst finishing I've seen.You can try and convince me that we’re not missing Young. Got a nothing right flank yet again with Tony V. Everything having to go down the left.Valencia is finished
Yep.Tbf our back 4 is a bit meh.We need to make all 3 changes already and it’s only 20 minutes in.
Don't think there's a snowballs chance in hell Valencia plays that match.No booking for Atsu for a cynical foul on Pogba.Safe to say this is very far for an optimal line up.
I also don't know what he was doing on that throwin. Pogba was struggling holding off 3 players and Valencia just gets an opponent between him and the ball
I'm seeing no defensive or attacking output from him today.
Big problem. They've got to take him off. Liability.So captain Fantastic is supposed to be marking Atsu right?Everythings going down the left, Mata or Valencia offering nothing down the rightfeck me it didn't take the positivity long to die out on this place
Sadly Valencia looks finished at the top level to me. I say sadly because I think he’s been a great servant to the club.
Also, Mata just doesn’t suit the role he’s being asked to play.
All our play has to come down the left.Our right side is non existent. Valencia have done sweet feck all and Mata is occupying Pogbas space through the middle.
We are truly shambolic at the back, we and were under Jose and we will continue to be under Ole.23 min
Atsu looks to pick out Rondón's run in behind our defence but Jones does well this time to cut out the danger.
Yep. There's been a wave of negativity around the match squad announcement, but it's warranted. He's unable to do even a basic job
I know... a little Phil Jones vs Mbappé could also be an... interesting matchup even if he'll probably be benched as well.Far too predictable. Every attack is down the left. No width at all.Think Valencia’s legs have gone.Shades of zombie passing so far.Jones has been terrible
Problem is he does things like this all the time and no one ever calls him on it, it’s disgraceful.Another manager persisting with Valencia and Jones and we’re playing shit.
Anyone seena pattern here?Is this a wrestling match ?Valencia and Jones are so fecking shite.
Pretty sure at this point that a lot just don't watch football, but are happy to point at stats and say 'but we've kept this many clean sheets with him!'Why is Mata so central?
Yeah, get him off and we'll look a lot better. Newcastle are making it hard by sitting deep and booting it to Atsu on their left. With a decent or speedy right back that wouldn't be too difficult for us to defend, but Valencia is dog slow and Lindelöf isnt much faster to clean up for him.Take a shot of whiskey every time Matic gives the ball away, you'll have a good night.I know right wing has been neglected for about 10 years, but feck me if centre back isn’t our most glaring weakness which needs addressing ASAP.feck me it didn't take the positivity long to die out on this place
Just a shaky 10 minutes where we didn’t even concede.
Was clear before the game startedNewcastle are just fouling Rashford every single time.Just a bit of fixture fatigue hopefully as no one looks on it yetPoor Tony V. He's done. We've haven't got penetration on both wings, easier to defend against.- Status
