The worst thing about our performances at the moment is the pure lack of pace and urgency about our play. Its so easy to defend against its unreal. We are best when we are playing fast attacking football. Slowly passing out from the back is painful to watch.

Bouncy bastardsHow is it with three center backs that they are constantly in one on one situations? Bizarre.Jones and Evans, man....
Nope. I think we've been OK. Stoke are no mugs, the idea we'd be scoring a hat full against them is laughable. We are growing into it. Shawcross should already be on a yellow for that block on RVP.We are really, really struggling at the back, despite three fully fit central defenders.
Could and should easily be at least 2-0 to Stoke so far.Jones and Evans are shambles todayevans is only good for drop kicking drogbafeck off Evans you cnutJohnny Evans... dear meWhy is Begovic touching our players all the time?Our defence is absolutely hilarious. Three spastics at the back.Our defenders are playing with the wind too this half. Dreading the second.
I wouldn't even mind if I was allowed to pay to watch every United game. The rules in this fecking country are bollocks!23 min
Another corner for United and it's a better delivery from Mata but Stoke clear.Stoke are a plodding, mid-table side and we are making them look clever... ffs string together some good pases and they can be taken. Can you imagine someone like Madrid being behind here?Where is the tempo?RIP wiziwig.Mata corner are shit. Why bother taking itEVANS is a f liabilityFrom having Rio and Vidic.... to these nightmares
Crouch is a dirty cnutEvans and young off for Herrera and RafaI am so losing patience with Falcao...
This is what he needs most though, he has had the worst or one of the worst sporting injuries you can have.We don't look threatening at all , if anything the next goal is likely to come from stoke.
Yet again just a real lack of urgency about everything we do.Vidic would have defend better alone then these we have now.
Don't agree. Just play pass and move football.
Yes he is but for leicester, palace etc. Not for top 17 clubsCome on guys.The only positive is that we don't have to do anything different to our normal game really. We like dominating possession. The only difference is we need two goals rather than just one.Our back 3 is so shakey in this configuration. Shame.
Mata and young not having great games either imoStoke are using the windy conditions to their advantage well here.The Stoke bus is being readied for parking.
This! Baffles me!Rooney is going to have one of those days.
Well, we need at least 3-4 players having a decent game. Mata's been poor, Rooney's been poor, Van Persie hardly been involved, Falcao had some bad touches, Young ineffective on the right...
Whole team is playing pretty shoddy.We should forfeit our corners.At the end of the season, a draw at Stoke is probably a decent result.Lol do we even have first touch practice at training?Carrick looks just as bad as the two 'midfielders' ahead of him.
So basically we have no midfield.- Status
