Horses for courses. Watford are a very big side.This game makes me think playing well against a drunk Burnley does not mean we turned a corner.
But holding onto positivity...Sanchez needs to be subbed off. Not only is he losing the ball every time, he also seems completely clueless with positioning. Devoid of confidence and ability. Put him out of his misery (I can’t wait to quote myself when he smashes one in)feckin Sanchez, waste of spaceAfter a good start Sanchez losing too many balls. Watford are a well organized team. We can’t give them opportunities like we have.We've fell into their pattern and pace of play. Need to step it up a little. Matic has to be getting forward quicker as well. He isn't the deepest CM anymore.
Yes, it of course only applies to Smalling. No other defender pushes rules where possible.
Sorry but you didn’t watch Watford just fannying around with the ball in their own half with all the time in the world to pick out the pass they wanted. Zero pressure from us until it was played into the danger zone. Then panic. The lack of pressing is piss poor.where the feck is Fred?
the only midfielder we have that can dibble through the middle. perfect to break opposition defensive set up.The feck. Fellaini as a liberio?
That wasn't Smalling's or anyone in the same position to challenge in the air. The Watford player controlled the ball with his chest!This is midtable quality. Fellaini had a chance to keep the ball and move it forward and instead passed it to a center back immediately.Going to be tough to break them downIn the words of MJ (kinda):
This is shIT.23 min
After a flurry of pressure from Watford following Deeney's chance things have settled down again with Watford getting lots of bodies behind the ball, letting United have the ball and probe.
Young gets a cross in and wins a corner. Our first of the day.Absolutely top notch entertainment this.I'm sleepy already. We're playing so slow, no one moves into space apart from Lingard.
Matic is no Kante. I'm not sure this role suits him.Yes, it of course only applies to Smalling. No other defender pushes rules where possible.
You're right of course, as that's what I said.Ashley old.Fellaini as some sort of deeplying playmaker is not a pretty sight!Why are these inbreds booing Young?
So tell me when he's done that today? Also tell me you haven't seen a Watford player grab one of ours in the box. Witchhunt24 min
Young's corner comes in and Foster misses it completely but in flies past all the bodies in the box and United have to build again.Some of our build up play reminds me of the Father Ted episode with the over 75s priests team and how slow they were24 min
The ball is in the back of the net from Sanchez, who chests down and volleys in from a lovely ball by Matic but the Chilean is offside. Took it well though.Man.. the difference of having a proper leftback and a substandard one is extremely noticeable.Bah. Off.With Lingard, Valencia, Mike, young and Sanchez we must have one of the worst teams around.Valenica, Young, Lindelof, Fellaini and Lingard. 5 players starting today that should never be starting for us. That's where it's gone wrong lads
He spent some time there didn't he?
He has some history with them. Long long time ago in a galaxy far far away...Damn Sanchez offside!
The ball travelled 40 yards in the air and you don’t think Smalling should be challenging for the ball in the air!!!
On the benchI swear I die a little every time Valencia receives a pass on the wing.
Yes, and it’s not looking bad at all.
Martin Johnson is a true ***********.
Exactly and you can add Smalling to that.Valencia is so useless offensively. Loads of space but doesn't overlap and doesn't cross. Every game...get ball, twist knee left and right, pass short infield. Sigh.- Status
