    Priority for Half time talk:
    AWB - wake up
    Williams - dont be rash
    Rashford - time to show up
    Pogba - show us your worth
     
    Our 'fans' calling Rashford welbeck again. Go support Liverpool you dickheads.

    Never have the ability to support your players even after a back injury. We are the worst fans in the world.
     
    Team has been generally fine. Only AWB, Williams, Greenwood and Rashford have been below average. Our main issue is our bench and a lack of options if we need a change.

    The state of this. Feckin armchair psychologists and mind readers all over this forum.

    Yes he took the wrong option and the ball got away from him. That's all that happened.

    EDIT: username does not check out :lol:

    You can tell I love the guy :lol: He’s my bloody favourite player! Just being honest, not trying to be a mind reader. I’m sure you can see that he has “taken the wrong option” for too many games and situations now. Has to improve, and I’m willing him on to do so.

    Players like Rashford, lingard build their career on purple patches and then play longer and prosper. If we ever want to build a consistent team then more than a "sometimes" world class player we need predictive consistetly performing players.

    Ridiculous statement. Rashford is our second top scorer this season. He may have hit some poor form but that is nonsense.

    Just noticed. During their goal AWB did again something what he is doing a lot lately.
    He was just jogging back and because of that his player was first on the ball.
    Shaw never does that. And full back, especially who is "best defensive FB in PL" should be concentrated 100% all the time.
    That was rubbish defending

    He’s the best defensive fullback in pure one-on-one scenarios. Everything else about his play can very much be improved upon.
     
    We're clearly the more dangerous team for me, they've had one real chance and put it away, we've been far too wasteful.
     
    RUCK4444 said:
    Yeah this is how he played prior to the break. Gives us a lot of energy when he’s on his game like this.

    I love the way he wins the ball back. No crunching tackles, but he always manages to get his foot in and nick the ball away. Wins us possession in some dangerous areas
     
    Brandon Williams had very poor positioning for the goal. Shows his inexperience. Shows we need strength in depth.

    We need those seasoned, solid performers who won't do clangers like that.
     
    Two equally matched teams, we've done well so far and look dangerous going forward. Need to sort out our defence on the wings though, Sevilla are giving us trouble on both sides.

    He's popped it off to players in promising positions nearly every time he's got it and usually beating players in the process.

    Yep. It can seem quiet, but his actions have benefited his teammates. He's been bringing others into play quite well. We just need to give him a great chance. There was one time he was in pole position, but Bruno overhit it and it went to Fred.
     
    Good first half. Controlling the game. We are better side wich is not often that is said when we play spanish teams.

    Those who criticize, as always, don't really know what they talk about.
     
    Some of the comments in here about Rashford:rolleyes:

    Plenty of short memories as well. Yeah he hasn't been great tonight, the guy carried us until he broke his back and has had to play so many games in a short period lately. Also he has created a fair few chances/goals from deep since the restart.
     
    Please get Martial on theball more. We need prime R9 here and now.
     
    According to Who Scored, this game has had 24 tackles and 19 of them have been fouls. Their centre back absolutely lifting Bruno out of it off the ball wasn't one of those 19 apparently.
     
    We look okay. Nervous, but okay.

    Fred has been excellent in doing what he does. Pogba looks like he's keeping some gas in the tank. Fernandes been both a threat, and wasteful. And whoever that target man is we have up front, keep him going. What a turnaround.

    Real worry is down our right, but they're not really attacking on that side. Ref look scarily like he's itching for an excuse for cards, which isn't like him from what I remember. Expect them to target Williams. If I were Ole I'd definitely consider options, even limited as they are. Fosu-Mensah isn't a world beater, but Williams isn't exactly lighting it up defensively or attacking,s o I don't see a huge reason not bring him on. He's also better in the air if we get a late bombardment like Wolves received.

    20 something goals in a season with a big injury... he is well out of form, but we just need options for this situation, rather than just be forced to play the same players every game, especially with one of the youngest forward lines in the world
    Click to expand...
    That is another puzzle. Why Ole insist on playing three up front? It compromises our midfield. Instead perhaps he can sit out Rashford, add McT and let Fred play as CM.

    What a mystery this guy is. I thought he was poor but somehow getting good stats.

    Yes it’s odd that, he looks so laid back and barely looks to be breaking a sweat, however his passes and interceptions have been good, he just seems to be coasting, but the numbers don’t lie.

    Unfortunately, game seems to be too big for us. Dogshit performance all around. Fred, Mcgwire, Wan Bissaka have ZERO offensive abilities. Pogba, Bruno and Marcus look lost. How many poor passes have we made? 50 percent?

    Hahaha. Hilariously match-day post. Turn your channel over, United v Seville is great ...

    try watching the match?

    They are pressing Pogba with an intensity that they are not doing with Fred because Fred isn't a threat on the ball.

    I'm watching the match, which is why I'm calling you out on the one dimensional bullshit.

    On the contrary people’s view of him is the mystery imo. Usually the best player on the pitch for us prior to Bruno.

    I would like to see him further up the pitch.
