Absolutely this. Herrera has been our RB and Valencia's also been non-existent in an attacking sense. Legs look to have gone.Is Lingard on the bench?Need Young, Lingard or Sanchez on at half time to take over the right sideNot the best of halves, but I thought it was far from boring.
Newcastle fouling a lot and the ref letting it go, but still think we are the better team.I think Newcastle are the most defensive team United have played all season. Huddersfield had more of a go at Old Trafford.
Yeah I’m seeing a completely different type of play than under Mourinho - don’t get the people who think we’ve reverted to type.
We’ve had a couple of opportunities and are actively trying to get in behind.
A bunch of people here thought he already had that Neville moment months ago.Newcastle made it tough for his. They're playing really defensively and fouled a shit ton. Thought we did ok for the first 30 mins, made a few half chances. Just keep going and we will get the goal 2nd half.Pretty easy for them to double up on our attackers. Hope Ole switches it up a bit in the second half.Game is played at their pace which is a big problem.Not a great half at all. Left side is too predictable. Jones and Lindelof are ropey. Our right side is non existent. Valencia is finished. Sub him before he costs us
We're playing too slowly and it's costing us. I can see why when we're stuck with RB and RW, but we should be attacking faster anywayMata refuses to play on the right, it's crazy. We don't need you as number 10 or left midfielder ffsPlaying a man down with Valencia and it ends up making the midfield further congested.
All our wide play is wasted cause we haven't got a presence in the box.
Having a striker who dribbles is a bit of a handicap when he has to take it past 17 players to get a glimpse on goal.
They're showing us down the wings for a reason.
Shithouse tactics.Felt like there should have been at least 7 added. Football really needs to sort out the added time mess.
And Ole needs to sort out that mess. Hopefully we can get two as we look good to give them a goal. I like Mata but it’s not working tonight.Easily the toughest test for Solskjaer so far. Newcastle have set up to impede us in our buildup and frustrate us, and have looked dangerous on the counter attack against our defense.
We'll need to make some tactical changes at half time, maybe a sub too. Rashford has been too lightweight up frontValencia is no longer a 1st team player. He offers nothing in going forward and only supplies side or backward passing. Sadly, the days of the giant are over.Jones and Matic both poor, the right flank non-existent. Newcastle play like shit houses. I think we could get sucker punched in the second half.Scrappy first half. The intent is there from us, but Newcastle are insanely compact. I would expect no less away from home to a Benitez coached team.
Valencia has been a big big problem. With mata playing as narrow as he is, we need more from the RB which we aren’t getting. I would look at getting young on for him, and either Lingard or Sanchez on for Mata.We are controlling the game. Clearly Rafa has prepared for this and not making it easy for us, but we're doing ok.Could have scored a few and Mata should go off really slows us down and no threat from the right at all. Valencia is finished.Feel Lukaku would make a difference tonight.
Newcastle are a physical side and us lumping the ball into the box clearly isn't working.Half like that really makes you appreciate what Young brings to the team.Hardly nothing down our right and that’s where Newcastle’s two best chances have come through.
Need to change it.Need to pick up the pace second half. Valencia is stood around like a static dummy - replace with young. We are also missing Lingards running and movement.
Switch out Valencia and mata for me, bring on Young and Sanchez or lingard
Pogba also needs to up his game today..Mata has been shit as usual. His "brilliant" link up play slows us down all the fecking time.
Aye ye I'm joking, but I feel like if we get someone decent on the right it might stretch them moreIs this the keeper that had the game of his life against us last year, then conceded about 6 each game to pool and city?Ole needs to sub Valencia or shake him down, this is not the football we expect when attacking. If you see Mata drift you have to go up to provide options.
It really wasnt. Mourinho would have played with 5 men behind the ball. We also showed much more off ball movement.
How have they let us down?Valencia, Jones, Matic & Mata all very poor
I do and I've been saying it for years.
Mata and Valencia have always been a horror show on that wing. Valencia does not belong anywhere near our match day squads when we have Young doing okay there and Dalot trying to develop.
Mata has never had almost never had good game on the right wing away from Old Trafford.Mata and Valencia have to come off. They are both killing us.Valencia should be the first to go, not made one attempt to get up that side for a cross. He's a disgrace, shouldn't be in the first 11 never mind be the captain.Need to replace Valencia. Not offering us anything whatsoever. Being very conservative as well.Never thought I'd say this, but.. get Ashley Young on.Valencia and Mata on the right is utterly pointless. Valencia is so obviously done that it's worrying he managed to walk back into the team.Tbf they've defended well. No point in crossing the ball to rashford as that'll be food and drink for their defenders. We've got in behind them but our final ball hasn't been great. Need to step up a gear in the second half. Maybe take off mata and put on sanchez.Right side is non existent which causes us troubles. We don't have space anywhere. Hopefully some changes quickly in second half.- Status
