Fletcher back to his pointing best. Why not move closer to the man with the ball?Honestly we are piss poor. Is it really down to confidence or just too many average players for united standards
You can't expect him to be good while our midfield is totally shiet right now.
Niether's RVP and Rooney.
Teams not playing on top and still winning are the ones who truly deserve it since it's what champions do. Stop. Stop being negative.Kagwa over cleverley in CM anyday.We are awful. Thank god for the goal.
Yeah, we actually look like a team which includes actual footballers now.Alright we really need another midfielder and defender before the transfer season ends. It's not even muppetry, our team desperately needs it.We have DDG, then a load of average shite who are not quality United players, then the front 3. Luckily DDG and the front 3 are pretty good.
Well 6 of his first 10 passes were positive forward passes but people are only waiting to comment when he gets something wrong. Its quite amazing how blind people can be when mob mentality kicks in.We should consider putting De Gea in midfield and Lindegaard in goal. I think as a team we would benefit.They'll be gone next summer when LVG squad starts to take full shape or atleast one will be.
Also anderson>>cleverley
Would love to see Fletcher come back as a coach in the future. He's just been really unfortunate with his illness.
Two average players in the key central areas brings the overall quality down, plus an inexperienced defensive 3.Think cleverley needs to figure out what the no look pass is actually meant for. Not an aimless punt upfield anywaySAF watching the game.Its glaring how bad our CMs are on the ball. They work and press but they have no creativity at all.Difference between last year and this year: Last year we were okay until we were in the lead, then we fell apart. This year we're horrible until we're in the lead, then we're okay. Going by the first 117 minutes of PL football for us, at least.
There's acres of space for Smalling to bring the ball out of the defence, if he had any confidence on the ball he could be a major factor in this match, someone like Agger or Verthongen would be great for that role.27 min
Long range effort from Wickham has De Gea diving across his goal but it's a couple of yards wide.Don't know whether it's good or bad that Blackett is our most impressive CB so far this season and pre seasonFletcher's decline is understandable, but Cleverley has no excuses. He had promise but somehow pissed it all away.You lot have a pretty awesome away crowd.
Complete wank. Up 1-0 from the one thing that has gone right so far, everything else has been unspeakably horrible. Cleverley and Fletcher in particular seem like they're trying to get investigated for match fixing or summat.we are winning but FFS we are dreadful.We badly need De Jong!!!wickham almost ruined our weekend
yes, i'm THAT funny!Jones has been caught on the wrong side multiple times now trying to press too muchWoa, my god.
Heartbeat.I almost cant believe how bad Cleverley is.Blackett loves a good hoof doesn't heIs it just me or Jones looks lost a bit in this back 3 defense?
I like Smalling but I don't understand why we don't have him on the right and Jones central. Jones is far more accustomed to moving out into midfield positions and likes to drive forward on the ball.
Its amazing how Fletcher and Cleverley just cant impose themselves onto games.... Even in games vs bottom half opposition.
If we dont get at least another CM this window its going to be a long season! I mean the game is literally bypassing both Fletcher and CleverleyWe seem so weak. We aren't that United which scared everyone with only hear its nameWhat was thatOh Tom.What we want to do when we have the ball? All I can see is plain football.Just shit from Cleverley.- Status
