Our two first choice defenders are out, tbf. Bailly is an incredible CB, who would be making a difference.Once again the match day thread justifies its place in the worst place on the internet list. Some absolute idiots in here.
Team hasn't even been that bad. When the other team is Real Madrid, you concede possession stats and try to exploit there set up. The best way to do it is a counter attack, but we have to many players who want to play centre. 4-3-3 is the only way to cope with this real side.Positive is, we won't play anyone this good in the league this season.
Exactly both of them were goal scoring opportunities. All that was needed in both cases was some common sense.My conclusion pf first 45 ... pogba is not a changed player with all this "freedom". Still as rubbish and overrated as always. I like look of matic, presence,can pass and strong in a tackle. Bit early to judge lukaku. Has had no service. Mkh is not a winger. Lingard is not a starter. Great tackle by darmian on bale, needs a medal for that as he wont have a better moment all career. We cant keep the ball, we miss a modric type player.Ronaldo hasnt even come on yet.
Monumental difference even. A big hoof and you retrieve it easily.Matic will be our signing of the season. He's been very good in a very poor game.
What's so embarrassing? He has been utter shite.
Bring on Fellaini?
Real simply are a level or two above United atm. We are not kidding ourselves. Mourinho's target this season is the League and I believe we have a good chance.Thinking ahead I think our defense will be really good if we play Bailly and Jones.
Problem like last season is the attack. Matic will mainly just make us more solid, but we just lack both individual quality and team play going forward. Madrid have both of it and it is so clear to see.
We have ShawI guess offside goals in the Super Cup is Madrid's thing now.
No defender to be blamed for this goal at all. We played on the offside trap and Casemiro was clearly offside. It's the ref's fault.They're a very long way ahead of us. Not even playing that well but completely dominating.
Matic is looking like a touch of calm and class though, on the positive side. We really could have done with Perisic. He's direct and powerful enough to scare this team and he'd actually put in some good crosses for Lukaku.Lol at this thread, Bluemoon and RAWK rate our players higher than some of you
We played well the first and last 15 minutes. The 15 in between were terrible, and unfortunately Real made it count (albeit with an offside goal). Matic is the bright spark, playing really well even though he's hardly had any time to gel with the team. Looking like an inspired signing. Can't wait to watch us against PL sides as none of them come close to Real's quality. I just can't understand the hyperbole in this thread. Just chill, plenty of positives to take from this.McManaman, lolMeh, I'm not annoyed. We're only here because we won an inferior version of what they did. The gulf in class is massive, we should have been more ambitious this window.This left side, just utter nothingness with Carvajal getting all the time in the world.
Mikhi had a sensational moment when he nutmegged Ramos in first 5 minutes.
Pogba rubbish? Ok
He's playing rwb, the weakness of that formation is between rcb and wingbackYeah, Lukaku spoiled that ball with the offside, jesus!
I agree.
Absolute nonsense.
Yeah. Looks solid and in the groove from his first touch. Knows his job inside out.
Everything and all your posts about Pogba.
Yep. Trying to see that positive myself.
The fear is that we'll play this way against all the big teams in our league away, hoping to nick one on the counter.
The one counter we had, Pogba chose to inexplicably try a Hollywood shot from 40 yards, rather than either of the two sensible wide options!
Bingo. You push everybody forward and they play like your midfielders. Ours turn backwards and pass it to the keeper, or smash it forward like it's a ticking time bomb.Who is this terrible blonde woman on Fox? All she says is cliches and in the manner of some overly argumentative drunk from a nightclub.
Think he's been one of our only decent performers in their halfKroos and Isco are on a different level and running the show in the first half. Matic probably our best player so far, which says alotWasnt offside. Smalling lifted offside when you freeze the screen and a line on Casimiro.. atleast thats what they just did on dutch tv and he wasnt offside
When he comes back from injury and then it's a huge risk as to whether he can regain pre injury form.I would say the game would end with 1-0 if Jose doesn't attack more. It doesn't matter if we continue playing with 3-5-2 (we were playing more like 5-3-2 now with 2 wingbacks playing so deep) or switch to 4-3-3
It is massive help that they have two attacking fullbacks. We only have Valencia and it limit us a lot. Reals play attacking down the wings is awesome and they turn play very well when needed.McManaman and Slippy G, really BT?Was Gerrard really just ripping into Pogba for trying to be too individual? Wanker, clearly never watched a game he played in himself.Bring on the PL and Cl where hopefully we won't play Madrid any time soon.God, we really need a winger that can take on players. Moura, Perisic, just drop some fecking money Woodie - we are screwed without- Status
