Stop dicking around and get our best players on the pitch.
Has he touched the ball?
Well we did a good job of making a very inexperienced Southampton backline look like prime AC Milan.
The antithesis of what we saw against Liverpool. Looks like we've reverted to type again. Changes needed by ETH.Bruno pulling skipper then when it was all day Eriksen's.
We are in full control its only been 45 minsSub off Bruno ffs. We played fine when he was missing a couple of seasons ago. Eriksen as a 10. Casemiro on.
By doing what exactly?Elanga is robbing a living at United, he's more limited than Dan James on the ball and that's saying something.
Bruno has been wasteful yet again so we can't build or sustain any meaningful attacks.Why are our bench wearing a different strip to the players on the pitch?Horrible half of football. No urgency, no guile, just strolling through itI remember one free kick scored by Bruno. One. And he's taken plenty. Ridiculous Eriksen isn't hitting that.
Mourinho signed Lukaku. His knowledge on strikers is null and void.Thought Eriksen was gonna take that free kick?Better away half than we've had recently. Bruno is too lightweight in midfield, losing every half decent challenges and Elanga just isn't it.
How can we do that when you have McTom, Elanga and co stinking up the pitch.
Ward Prowse would be a good addition.I think we'll see a huge difference if casemiro comes on for mctominay at half time.
I don't like bashing players but mctom is a passenger, just watch him when we are in possession at the back, it's identical to that video that did the rounds a bit back, he hides from the ball and makes himself unavailable for a pass and he points to teammates telling the man in possession to pass to them instead.
In stark contrast, Eriksen meanwhile was constantly running into space to make himself available for the pass. I don't know if it's a conference thing or just a complete lack of a football brain but he's just not good enough and never will beWe need Garnacho and Casemiro onFront four shit, everyone else been decent. Eriksen passing is exceptional. Sancho looks threatening but he’s far too isolated on the break. We badly need a striker.
Because he is the captain and a twat
He has not been his best after the first season.A little ponderous in possession and real lack of ability to keep the ball in attacking areas.
If there is no space to attack, he is virtually uselessCan best be described as incipit performance.
I’ll have what you’re smoking.
We could bring Casemiro on for Mct, I guess. The latter has done well as a defensive shield so far, to be fair, but he offers nothing from an attacking standpoint, admittedly.
One thing is for sure, ETH needs to make changes soon. This team isn't going to do it today.We need to buy a winger. We can't be going through the season with Elanga playing as often as he is.Lets get Casemiro and Ronaldo on at half time.Be surprised if Elanga sees the second half, too many attacks breaking down with him. Rashford needs to make more runs to help the two wide players, particularly Sancho who could’ve created a few openings with a bit of support.
Still unsure how we didn’t score those close range chances.
Because Bruno is the man! Captain, leader! Best at everything. Wants to be the hero!
Another overhyped diva, God knows we have a few.If Tony Martial was playing we'd be winning by now.Elanga will come off at half-time and Ronaldo will come on. Counterattack Rashford will move to the left but useless nonetheless.Elanga shouldn’t see the second half. Offered nothing. Ronaldo on, Sancho to the right, Rashford from the left.
McSauce is doing his usual, doing nothing and giving the ball away. Casemiro on asap for him.We hit Liverpool at 100mph from the first blow of the refs whistle. We haven’t gone above 25mph today.
I cannot see where a goals going to come from in all honesty.Boring match. Bruno and elanga need taking offThey gave us a lot of space to attack that right side, need to make better use of it. Martial would have been perfect for this game. VDB also a better choice over Bruno but that was never going to happen.Rashford, Elanga and Sancho are dire. They offered nothing. Mctominay was hiding again most of the half. Bruno hasn’t had a good game in a long time.Flat performance from both sides. Not much to say about anything really. I think on the triple block shot only Eriksen was at fault for not scoring. Elanga had the angle against him. McT (I think) was too close to KWP only Eriksen really should've scored.- Status
