Like I've said a million times. Replace Fred with Rice in this team and we're 3 times better in possession as well as more controlled out of it.

He waited to see which way the ball would break before deciding to blow.Greenwood excellent so far. Playing with such confidence and is involved in pretty much everything going forward.Fred’s diminutive frame isn’t helping him at the centre of the park. He is often “walked over” by opposition playersBetter from us. Faster, more direct and attacking oriented.
If we had played like this on Tuesday we would have easily won.Fred’s passing is so erratic. Could keep the pressure on if he could actually play an incisive pass every once in a while, instead he gifts the opponents more counter attacks.Ronaldo, Pogba, Maguire, Varane, McTominay.
Half the team are 6'2+ and they're all in the box for corners and we never threaten.
Fecking convinced they do zero set-piece training.Really good response to falling behind. We look capable of creating a chance every time we actually manage to connect midfield to attack.Fred infuriates me.
We have more than enough to win this. I'm hopeful we can get the job done in the second half.
What makes it weirder is we put in a lot of great balls too. Very strange.
I felt that our tempo was extremely slow before conceding. We had the ball but didn't move it around fast enough or create enough chances.Started well then had a poor spell allowing West Ham to get into the game. Responded well to going down and have looked good since
It’s never an easy game, it’s hard to call the 2nd halfComing from Juventus last 3 years, United's attacking play is a sight to behold. I agree with the tempo comments here, but in Juventus if they went down they would just keep strolling like they're doing a beach side walk.
United seems to be creating a lot of danger easily with the fast tempo, but defense, honestly, looks shaky.
Not sure if seriousRonaldo cannot be 36. More energy than lots of players much younger than him....
The lads need to learn from him. Even when we went behind there was no panic or anything from him. He was focused and upped the intensity.
They’re dominating West Ham’s though? They’re pushed further and further back and only have the odd counter forward.We go behind, there's a sudden shot of intensity. We score, the intensity vanishes again. Strange team.
What the hell, are you blind
Sadly, you're right.
they're absolutely fine. I dont know what some people expect.Sucks that the team basically shit themselves from the moment Harry almost gifted a goal until the deflection, but they showed good mentality after conceding to get back level. Thankfully they handled Fred's mishap before the half. I think they go on to get 3 points if they score first in the 2nd half.Good first half from both teams.
United the better of the two, especially the first 25 minutes.
Hopefully, West Ham tire in the second half. They have put a lot of effort in, so far.
McFred have been ok. But JUST ok. That is the engine room we need that firingUnlucky to go behind before the equaliser, front four have been very lively and we're playing some nice football.Can’t be fecked with Atkinson. Gives West Ham a 5 second advantage for a foul which he let slide in the run up to their goal.We have what it takes to win this.
Bruno is on fire, Ronny is great, Mason the one to bring the difference...
Get Sancho on for Mctominay if we are not ahead by the 65'.
Add more pressure.
What many of us have been saying for ages. The problem is Ole. He can't coach. He's been great at man managing, picking the right players, buying good players but as a tactician he is terrible. Get in proper coaches and that's the only way to compensate for Ole's lack of itWell done Scott and Fred. What happen to this West Ham midfield dominating us? We created more chances this half than any other.....
Will take time only handful of games. Got to give the partnership a chance.Greenwood as been really good. Ronaldo & Bruno lively. Shaw too. McTominay & Fred awful.We're playing well but our defending game is so average with no organization whatsoever.Good half of football. West Ham can count themselves fortunate they're going in at half time level. Most shots on target in the first half by any team this season.Man, McTominay has broken the lines beautifully with his passing at times.
I watched the striker Fred at the 2014 World Cup and he was horrible. When we signed the midfielder Fred I thought "Great! Surely the shit lightning can't strike twice with Brazilian Freds?"
It can. The name is cursed.Excellent response to their goal I thought. But pedestrian before then.Even game really, lots of end-to-end stuff. I was impressed by our response to their goal, we could have scored three in a couple of minutes before the equaliser.Sadly we are still too dysfunctional.
Doesn't look like that much heralded new formation that we'd hoped for a few weeks ago is going to happen
AWB never looks confident. He's like a younger version of Antonio Valencia, rarely attacking the space behind the opponent.
What position is Pogba supposed to play today??i think we’ve played really well. greenwood in particular has been excellent
It didn't. We could have scored a couple more after the first.- Status
