What a bore fest.We should be winning, but our 'football' in general is just shite.
Can you explain to us all how Garnacho got on the end of it if it went into the stands? Does he have a season ticket here or something?Sure it did.
Feels like this game has 0-0 written all over it. Very poor quality on show.We are trash trying to score. Everything is trash with our attacking setup. Mctominay out there providing nothing on the off chance he pops up with a random goal
Hojlund has become the new whipping boy of the unwashed masses
Just seconds later he gives a yellow card for Evans for even lesser of a dissent. Utter thunder cnuts all these refs.
He might be but he’s been awful today. Shaw has completely bullied him.Defending well. Borefest in possession though. Only 2 openings came from mistakes. We don't really look like creating ever
Antony just did but he was on his heels. Doesn't seem to have 'that' instinct to finish things offWe aren't really playing badly but we just lack the quality to score. Simple as that - we've made a couple of decent chances and defended well but we don't have a great finisher.
Not sure I agree with that. I also think McT takes up a lot of positions that Højlund would otherwise take up.
I don't know why so many fans on here are so determined for Højlund to fail. Like it will somehow further prove how shit our recruitment is, and make them...happy?
Good luck brother. You'll need it.Good half from Mainoo, Shaw and Antony.2 mid table average teams playing 45mins of boring football.
I am not sure that it is about coaching. This was pure instinct. Any decent striker with goal instinct would slide there even before Antony's pass.That touch and turn to win the free kick is the best thing Hojlund has done in weeks.
More of that and the attack starts to flow somewhat.
Boring, but given the injuries a decent outcome with an improving performance as the half progressed.
Agree, our lack of quality on the ball after spending so much is ridiculous.We just don’t seem to be good at scoring goals.
Try 4:30am!We are so in controll of this game.
Need to be more clever attacking but good first half against a good home team.Zouma getting away with it, then Evans getting booked for less is exactly why people were pissed about Dalot. Because we know it isn’t applied consistently.It's started slowly as the early Saturday kickoff often does, but we've largely been the better side, controlled the game, forced them into mistakes with our pressing, and should have scored at least one. West Ham aren't a joke at home, either.
From reading this thread you'd have thought we were playing like a pub side.Eriksen and Rashford should be on at halftime. I’m expecting no changes are actually made until 65 minutes.Our players get booked for dissent, yet when an opposition player reacts to not being given a throw, absolutely feck all happens.Hojlund is shitDisjointed attack. Whenever the players get near the 6 yard box, everyone starts making wrong decision. 160 million in Hoijund and Antony for you! Antony always make wrong decision, definitely not United quality. Garnacho had a few good chances but still not ready to be XI.
NostradamusThought Evans, Shaw and Kobie have been good. A shame our attack is so poor, we really need a goalscorer upfront, which Hojlund unfortunately is not.Paqueta is a cnut, should've had a bookingWe need to somehow get Hojlund in the game, Willy has been fine, nothing game at the moment.More cutting edge up top and we are comfortable. As it is, it’s going to be a single goal that wins this either way. All the possession but no bite.Very comfortable for an away game. Poor finishing though, got to think we should be going in at least 1 up.
As bad as we have been in chance creation all season long, there is no way he should still be at 0 goalsGiven the context of the 1 thats out there....a decent first half. Kids so far have all done okay. Rasmus still struggling to get into games, his touch is really being tested these last couple weeks. Willy had been composed as has Mainoo, Garnacho probably the most likely to do something. Should have scored though.Hojlund winning the game with a rocket into the top corner would make my Christmas. Is it too much to ask?
How can you create chances for a player who is always out of position?This is a very tough watch. Rashford for Antony please.If we are to persist with McTominay than just bench Hojlund. McTominay is constantly playing in our strikers area and it's fecking pointless.- Status
