Has to be on purpose. EtH is known for being ruthless but allows Rashford to skip pressing or defensive runs. Infuriating to watch, even if he were scoring 30 a season

More out of sheer desperation because he and Bruno are the only one in the squad that can hit double digit in goals.

if Rashford even has an average work rate, he’ll be a 30 goalthreat every year. Such an infuriating player to watch because you know he’s capable of so much more.

Second poor first half in a row

mav_9me · Aug 19, 2023

Antony has been extremely extremely disappointing.

Lentwood · Aug 19, 2023

Unacceptable from Bruno, a Sunday League player scores that 9/10.

redzombie · Aug 19, 2023

so bad up top im starting to miss Weghorst

How have we been?

Decent I thought. Got into countless good positions. With a better attack we'd be a couple of goals up.

Telsim · Aug 19, 2023

Dull game, about what I expected. Both teams looking average, which I guess is an upgrade for us after last Monday. Midfield looking better, Mount is playing slightly deeper, but still caught out a couple of times, but better defensively. The front three have been dire, however. Not having a striker is awful.

eire-red · Aug 19, 2023

Poor enough quality in that half. United being sloppy is giving Spurs some confidence when we should just be taking control of this game.

Will they suspend Michael Oliver next week for not giving us a penalty??

That yellow for Bruno is also ridiculous.

I didn't think proximity entered into the decision making.

Garnacho isn’t a starter yet.

I think as soon as Hojlund is ready to play Rashford goes onto the left and Garnacho is going to be a backup again.

Pscholes18 · Aug 19, 2023

Playing a lot better overall.....said it before will say it again, Rashford is an avg footballer, could easily be replaced......Garth still unsure what to do in the final third...Mount is looking better.

Along with Casemiro and Mount. The whole thing is must more Wolves mehhh

Think Mounts been a lot better this game than the last but I don’t know what’s going on with Casemiro.

He's better than Monday. The problem is we're toothless up front all round

Nep77 · Aug 19, 2023

Wtf is wrong with Rashford, he just walks around doesn't help in the press at all. He gets away with this so often. Antony less said the better. Zero precision on pass, slow or loopy and wasteful shooting.

That was not a poor first half

Mount best player so far imo

We're being overrun in the midfield now. Mount has been very poor, and understandably so.

The feck is it that leads to this?

Okay. We’ve missed some big-ish chances.

2 man midfield · Aug 19, 2023

Looking forward to how they’re going to justify the penalty decision

Superunknown · Aug 19, 2023

It's better, but still lacking. But better. We're generally on top, without doing enough to get the ball into the back of the net.

It genuinely feels like a struggle to work their keeper. The front four just isn't working. I'm not seeing the connection there. I feel for Rashford playing in that central role, which he doesn't want to do and isn't played to his strengths there.

ManRed · Aug 19, 2023

Onana is a joy to watch. That pass from Garnacho

laughtersassassin · Aug 19, 2023

Remember we scored feck all goals last year?

Yeah I don't see that changing this season short of replacing most of our attackers.

Not one of them is clinical or can be trusted to finish chances.

It's a shame cause we played decent in short spells

Gandalf · Aug 19, 2023

Hoejlund can’t get fit quick enough. A halfway decent striker and we score at least 2 in that half.

AFC NimbleThumb · Aug 19, 2023

Spent the last week hearing how Spurs are going to run over us & Gary Neville trotted put this weeks favourite line, Maddison will have been watching them against Wolves yada yada’.

I tuned in last week when they played Brentford, they weren’t particularly spectacular then & they’re damn lucky to have gone on level today.

Wonder if we’ll get a weeks worth of VAR talk this week. . .

Lecland07 · Aug 19, 2023

Can't say I'm surprised about some negativity as that is just redcafe, but it doesn't really make sense. The only real thing to be negative about is not taking chances.

We have been good, otherwise.

Dan_F · Aug 19, 2023

I thought we did well apart from that weird 5 minutes. Certainly an improvement on anything we saw against Wolves.

People are going to have to accept that we will get broken on if we can’t pass better. That’s not on the set up, that’s on the players for not executing. We’ve won the ball high up plenty but failed to take the chances.

This just sounds like regurgitation, we're not being overrun in midfield at all. There was a 5 min spell where Spurs put our defence under a bit of pressure, but that's about it

Mount remains a baffling signing. Eriksen is a far more creative option.

Witchking · Aug 19, 2023

Everyone who has watched united in the past decade knows how this game will pan out. We have a feck all winning mentality. Liverpool go 10 men and still manage to win. They would do that against any team.

United suck at everything except social media where we are the unbeaten kings. Expected a loss and that will come in the second half.

Serves the club right for trusting Rashford as the striker. 5 year contract :lol:

daveskimufc · Aug 19, 2023

Rashford seems to be going through his cycle of not looking arsed at the minute.

Get him out left and martial on

Ayoba · Aug 19, 2023

Im at the stadium. AWB, Shaw, varane and garnacho have been good. We just lack that killer instinct

stu_1992 · Aug 19, 2023

Started well I thought. Good for about 50% of that game until Spurs were able to come into it. The usual issue of not taken our chances when they arise.

What?

Freak · Aug 19, 2023

I never understand how United never seem to control possession. We always seem on the back foot instead of being on the front foot. And yes, same old with our forwards not being able to take their chances

Bobski · Aug 19, 2023

Much better, should be ahead really, front 3 have wasted some amazing situations with poor decision making, Sancho hopefully continues his form from the other night when he comes on as given the space Spurs are leaving it could be ideal for him.

Varane and Awb continue their excellent start, Mount has been quietly effective deeper and Bruno is setting up a lot, pity about the sitter. Onana is going to challenge Licha for cult hero status.

Final touch letting us down. Promising though after the hopeless feckpie against Wolves

Yet he’s comfortably been the best of the front three today. He’s good though to start. He’s let down by shite teammates up top.

We were the better side, should have had a penalty and Bruno should be scoring that header.

Much better than Monday that was.
