Stoke City 1:1 Manchester United

Camy89 · Jan 21, 2017

27 minutes gone and we're 1 down.

Oh woe is me. We're terrible. We won't win. It's the end of the world! What have we done!??!

Shut up, all of you, and get behind your fecking team. Christ.

No Carrick means no midfield.

It's amazing we lose complete shape without him. Fellaini is running around somewhere up front as a second striker, Pogba drops behind the defense and loses the ball in dangerous situations, the only one who is trying to keep things together is Herrera but even he is struggling.

DevilRed · Jan 21, 2017

fecking disgrace that we are still using fellaini. Really got to get rid of him in the summer and bring in some proper midfielders.

I thought Pogba was supposed to help us in these games, what with him being a unit and all.

Whelan, Adam and Allen run their balls off and throw their body in every challenge, while our players play like in a friendly game.

Thiim · Jan 21, 2017

Fellaini simply isn't a starter. Good option from the bench from time to time but certainly not a starter.

RedOldBoy · Jan 21, 2017

Pogba is so anonymous today.

red4ever 79 · Jan 21, 2017

Can someone fire out the win lose ratio with Fellaini versus Carrick please?

Hernandez - BFA · Jan 21, 2017

Herrera just can't play the Carrick role. Lacks serious composure today.

Vida5Nick · Jan 21, 2017

Fellaini is hampering the midfield. Offers nothing. we need runners to break down thier defence now. Take him and ibra off

JoaquinJoaquin · Jan 21, 2017

Zlatan has had 10 touches so far. We are creating very little.

lewwoo · Jan 21, 2017

I'm sure Fellaini's hair takes some of the power out of his headers

Escobar · Jan 21, 2017

To have Fellaini behind Zlatan is a joke

Our manager is over thinking this. Carrick and martial can handle this game.

As can this side.

It's not talent, it's mentality. And ours is shit.

squidoo · Jan 21, 2017

Never thought I'd say this but we need Rooney on...you need to battle here.

We need an absolute unit of a destroyer for the DM position who also is mobile. Tired of seeing us getting bullied and not withstanding pressure

Nainggolan would be perfect

From personal magic ball 8: Stoke playing as tight as usual and aiming at 0-0 but they will somewhat score luckily and then settle for a very nervous draw. 1-1 to me.

Magic ball 8 scaring me now deeply lol

This is the worst 30 minuted we have played in the last 2 months

Also only Rashford on the bench who could change the game

TheSwedeFromSweden · Jan 21, 2017

You definitely need to buy a holding midfielder who can play when Carrick cant.

Snow · Jan 21, 2017

This is simply how we look when Rooney or Fellaini start. Very hard to build up play when there's a playing lacking in mobility and hiding.

He can certainly get shots on target.

That play started with him at halfway line putting in a half hearted challenge for a ball he had no business going for. Plenty others close by. He then lolly- gagged back into position. He's not completely at fault but he certainly didn't help the situation.

He went to challenge Crouch and got beaten in the air. He had to go with the runner.

Giggsy92 said:
He gets blamed (at least partially) for every goal we concede when we plays, it's weird.

V weird indeed. Our most recent scapegoat.

Please no. We're slow enough as it is.

Haha. Just imagine Smalling, Fellaini and Rooney as spine of your team. I guarantee you we wont even get a chance. Forget scoring.

Roboc7 · Jan 21, 2017

Starting fellaini instead of carrick made this inevitable, the big positive recently has been the balance in midfield and we have abandoned it after one bad 45 mins.

100 · Jan 21, 2017

Basically repeating all the mistakes we made in that string of shit results.

Mata out wide, Fellaini involved, no Carrick. Just need to throw Rooney on for Mkhi to stink the place out.

SqueakyWeasel · Jan 21, 2017

He didn't go for it until the defender took it did he?

GifLord · Jan 21, 2017

F..k off!!!

Manny · Jan 21, 2017

Ibra rightly telling Jones to keep the ball down

pseudo_canadian · Jan 21, 2017

AltiUn · Jan 21, 2017

Playing reasonably well now, we'll get a goal.

2 man midfield · Jan 21, 2017

You'd have your house on Mata to bury that.

RedOldBoy · Jan 21, 2017

MATA NOOOOOOOOOOOO

MichaelRed · Jan 21, 2017

This is dire.

Bobcat · Jan 21, 2017

Mata

red4ever 79 · Jan 21, 2017

The difference when Fellaini starts ahead of Carrick is staggering. No penetration, no directness. Whole team looks disfunctional. Pi** poor team selection. No pace out wide.

iAm20Legend · Jan 21, 2017

How the fecking feck feck

Android1974 · Jan 21, 2017

Thank God Mata doesn't miss those sitters.

Him or Fabinho.

It is going to be one of those days, isn't it?!

BringNaniBack · Jan 21, 2017

Get Pogba off for Carrick ASAP. His confidence is shot.
