Villarreal 1:1 Manchester United

TMDaines · May 26, 2021

Thought we’d win it second half after we got the goal, but two shots on target says much about our attack today. Dominated the game, but not worked the keeper.

Nori- · May 26, 2021

Cavani with 90+ minutes now.

This could backfire

OmarUnited4ever · May 26, 2021

No one is inspiring in the bench except for Amad maybe

Put Henderson on at 119. If it goes to penalties we will lose with De Gea.

Agree if he is not making that save and we lose then he should be blamed. He must know that Henderson got much better pen stats. LVG made that call for Holland in the world cup and it worked. We got so many subs left so no excuse. Although if De Gea been better in training to save pens who knows what you might do. Just De Gea been awful for us at saving pens and awful for Spain.

Worrying this now is almost any sub we make now is a downgrade in terms of ability.

If we sub someone on and, as they walk onto the pitch, they trip on their laces and pull a ligament and need to be taken straight back off, they'll still have been no less effective than Rashford.

Still no subs?

The hell Ole? Still no subs?

Imagine what the opposition are thinking. They must think our lads are made of steel. Put the fear in them. Once that's settled, get our subs on and finish them off. If we haven't already.

Shane88 · May 26, 2021

Lack of subs will kill us. Villareal's freshness is going to tell in this first 15.

Godfather · May 26, 2021

Shit cross from Shaw. So bad...

Dan_F · May 26, 2021

We have to make some subs. It doesn’t matter if the player quality dips.

do an LVG and sub your goalie in that situation

pauldyson1uk · May 26, 2021

FFS Ole get some fresh legs on

LARulz · May 26, 2021

Rashford kept on for the hope he somehow remembers how to play football. Admittedly our bench isn't inspiring but still

McT actually played well in the second half. More and more incisive as the game went on

Villareal are shite physically.

Villarreal are just shite.

How we aren't winning this is baffling and how rashford is staying on is also baffling.

Buchan · May 26, 2021

McTominay had a great second 45 minutes there. Really impressive ball retention and penetrative dribbles through their midfield. Key involvement in forcing the corner which we scored from, too.

Renegade · May 26, 2021

Incredible how one of the most iconic subs off all time is so against making them as a manager.

I wonder why Ole doesn’t make subs in game like this where we need some fresh legs or a fresh idea? I’ve never seen that before since I’ve been watching football. Shows what he thinks of his bench you could say.

I've thought it for months that he cannot read a game. He doesnt make a sub because he doesnt know what is needed.

That IS the story

Its either winning it at extra times or were fecked, there's no way we'll beat them in penalties. Not with De Gea, maybe Ole could pull a LVG and change Henderson if it comes to that.

Record says saved 11 of 64 in his career. Almost 2 in 10?

I was just thinking that. Pull a Van Gaal and get Henderson on for pens if it gets that far.

Absolutely. Won't lose anything by trying. Plus Hendo is more aggressive and in your face.

Pexbo · May 26, 2021

McTominay’s engine is something else.

Someone · May 26, 2021

Rashford has been terrible. What's wrong with him? Ole needs to be decisive, we don't want this to drag to penalties.

SirMattlives · May 26, 2021

This might be a game for Mata. We need a canny operator in the final third.

And doesn’t have what is needed

edit: on the bench

Garethw · May 26, 2021

Regardless of what happens here, McTominay has been fecking brilliant tonight.

I do not, and will never, trust us in a penalty shoot out.

This.

I'd definitely bring Mata on if it gets to penalties. Could Cavani last until then? Who else? Mason, Bruno. I'm not confident in Rashy scoring if he takes one, I know he scored that high pressure one in Paris but he's struggling tonight

SirAnderson · May 26, 2021

Really sad about Rashford honestly but I think that's down to Ole, he really should have given him some time out.

Withnail said:
Literally, nobody proven on the bench though is there. Because Fred wasn't fit we've gone all-in with our starting lineup. People always want subs but if our best players are on the pitch and the manager believes they are the most likely to score then why change?

Because subs are nearly always of a worse quality than those on the field but hey what has this club ever won with subs eh.

Fergie was never afraid to make a sub even if it was for a far worse player, he knew the value of fresh legs and not letting underperforming players play on.

But that's critical so let's pretend otherwise.

FreakyJim · May 26, 2021

we're just so shit at football, It's horrible to watch

Have you seen rashfords performance tonight. I really dont think its possible for anyone to play any worse

AgentSmith · May 26, 2021

De Gea or Henderson if it goes to penalties? Probably rather try Maguire tbh.

Andre Kagawa · May 26, 2021

Fred in for Rashy and move Pogba up would be the logical move here. Won't happen though, Ole doesn't trust anyone on the bench

united_99 · May 26, 2021

I know we are already playing all our good players, but some subs would still be good.

Godfather · May 26, 2021

Horrendous pass from Lindelöf leading to a counter

RedDevil@84 · May 26, 2021

Just let us not make a mess of it because of tired legs. That will be all on Ole.

ArjenIsM3 · May 26, 2021

McTominay looks knackered. Had a really good game but he's done

mu4c_20le · May 26, 2021

No wonder Albiol is still playing.. they just sit back and stand there. Robert Huth and Wes Morgan could get into this side.
