Played well, but we really need to replace the likes of Antony and Zirkzee with players who actually contribute.

So much for Antony's recent improvement he has been woeful, Amad would have been tearing Spurs apart they have been there for the taking.
Got to be Amad or Garnacho for Antony at half timePlaying well enough tbh. Should have buried that last chance, really.
You can see nice interchanges, improved shape of the team, and drilled pressing happening already.
Just need a bit more quality in the final third.Decent stuff being played by the lads. Someone to finish a chance off please.I’d bring on amad and garnacho for Antony and Dalot sooner rather than later. Cup tie, have a go.
Yeah saw that on the replay :/. But Eriksens first shot was going in, annoying
It could be a caf competition thread.
Who will be more unfit this season?
a) Mount
b) Shaw
c) Lindelof
d) Eboue
Agreed. We're doing well, you can clearly see we now have an actual tactical plan and a discernible style of play.
Yes, we're behind, but that's massive progress in my book.Ugarte has done well
Sarcasm? He has been shiteThis is decent football. I'm very encouraged by what I'm seeing from us even this early in the manager's reign.
Yoro, Ugarte, Mazraoui all playing well and are all players recruited in the summer. Keep working on this system and we're going to evolve into a very good team over time
Don’t get the Antony in the AM position. He’s been coming of the bench and playing well at RWB. He should have started thereDo other teams concede ridiculous goals as often as we do? I don't watch much football besides United these days. However, I struggle to believe that other teams defend as brainlessly. Nobody charged out, nobody dropped, we just let them shoot and then get the rebound. 1-0 down as a result of idiocy. Again.Night and day the way we play since we last played against spurs. Hopefully Amad comes in at some point and makes a differenceYet again, look pretty good until we get into the final third.Can we do one game where we don't concede a stupid unnecessary goal? Feels like it's been 3 years in a row of just doing that.Same old boring story, we just can’t seem to take our chances. Our final pass/shot remains so poor. Disappointing though because I don’t think we’ve been that bad especially when you compare it to the last time we played them.Imagine a proper LWB instead of Dalot
Even half. Don't deserve to be behind.
My interest is waning, however.We have been the better team bar the goal. Antony been poor again really wanted him to do well here
As regular as Neymar's and his sister's birthday injury.Play between their 18 yard and our 18 yard box has been quite decent. Our biggest problems has been the poor play in either box!Cut backs are fine but the shots are shit. Even if they didn't hit the players, the keepers saving them.I like our control, we look very solid
Pretty sure we will score at least one in the second half. Garnacho on for Antony I thinkEriksen keep hitting the middle of the goal and expects the net to bulge. Pick a corner it’s wide open you moron.
You would have hoped to take him or Bruno off around 60 mins but it’s not looking likely nowHojlund just isn’t quick enough for the EPL.Been fine. Need to actually test Forster though and our crossing has been exceptionally shit so far. Antony is not fit for anything but wingback in this system and we are in dire need of a LWB, Dalot does not offer nearly enough for how often he gets the ball.
Feels like the ball has been ricocheting around our box straight to Spurs players all game. Don't know whether that's nerves or Bayindir coming out soon enough.Ugarte is a ball winning machine, good with the ball under pressure too.
Antony is about shite, worst united player I've seen.
Garnacho and Amad on and we'll turn this around.
Yes its a shame that we concede so many random goals that no other top side concedes. But this seems a good problem to have considering its not about flaws in foundations
Think he’s been ok, he had a spell where he gave the ball away twice in two minutes but has been ok otherwise.
Yeah anticipation is not there with the new generation of strikers, they don’t smell the crosses coming in even before the ball gets passed to an assisting player, as a striker you need to be 2 steps ahead but the intuition is missing
That first one was hit way too hard. There wasn't a hope Hojlund could have stayed onside and got near it.
There was another he blasted as well and then two or three outside of the boot hit and hopes. I don't recall a good cross. I could have missed the one you're talking about.Anthony can't play at 10. Wing back where he can link with players infront of him or nothingI do like what I see except for the goal keeping error. I am surprised how fluid we are. It's an amazing transformation in such a short time. Better finishing is needed though.Why is Hojlund so focussed on fighting with whoever is near him?
When defending he faces the other way and wrestles the striker, solanki today Haaland v City.
When he gets the ball played long to him he looks to see who is around him and instantly starts backing into and holding the player, putting himself off balance and the ball just bounces off him.
When Eriksen took that shit towards the end of the first half the ball came to Hojlund but he was too busy wrestling the defender causing the ball to bounce off his chest. If he had been focussed on the ball instead of the player he could have made something off that.
Hard to contribute from the bench mate
ZZ on the benchAntony is so physically weak, especially when you compare him to Amad
Now a lot of things make sense- Status
