Wigan Athletic 0:2 Manchester United

It's a good problem to have if you're creating a lot and not finishing, better than no creation and praying for a thunderbolt or peno.

Not to pick on Rashford, but that shot he took before the ball went to Dalot for the goal. A player is right in front of him and he goes for a shot straight at him. Was he expecting the ball to go through the player?

This is not the first time he's done it. It's a motif.

Rasmus definitely needs to learn from experienced striker but who is out there to get

I hear your point and I feel for the guy but you can't expect to be the starting striker at Manchester United with a transfer fee of 70 mill and not be criticised. Yeah he's young but he's always going to be criticised as the starting striker that's worth 70 mill.

Nobody even expects too much from him we're not expecting him to finish with the PL golden boot but you have to finish those chances it's quite simple.

You are not wrong but that's why it's hard for us to develop players.

Have you never seen Rashford play before?

At least he didn't run into the oppo player, that's something?

He is our best LW as well, I am afraid

He’s been poor there all season. Rashford is miles better presently but that’s fine because, happily, we can play them both!

Sassy Colin · Jan 8, 2024

We need to get a few more goals, because there's no one on the bench who can come on and change the game.

So what's "new" about that, apart from playing lower division opponent?

Apologies for the confusion…

The point I was making is this a rare occasion when this season’s system is working. Rather than being crap like usual.

But my other point is that I’m reading nothing into it, because my suspicion is it is only working because the opposition are crap, and against decent PL we would still look insanely open.

5 shots, 3 key passes and 1 assist is anything but all fur coat, no knickers, but each to their own.

I do think Mainoo and Garnacho have been very good, too.

Stats …

That five yard lay off for Dalot? After trying to shoot straight through a Wigan player?

Each to their own.

Giggsy’s left foot · Jan 8, 2024

AWB has been utter garbage.

laughtersassassin · Jan 8, 2024

Great layoff from Hojlund.

Bruno probably should have slotted it straight back to him to shoot

James35 · Jan 8, 2024

Rashford boils my piss when he stops the game completely and then nonchalantly under hits a pass to a team mate

BeforeKeanetherewasRobson · Jan 8, 2024

Our shooting is like latter day Valencias crossing… trying to magic a football through a human being.

gaffs · Jan 8, 2024

I would be very interested to see what Joe Hugill can do.

I doubt though Ten Hag will give him a chance as he could upstage his 75mil striker.

Doracle · Jan 8, 2024

I love that we are actually able to discuss who has been our best player for a change, rather than working out who deserves the MOTM for a 2/10 display! Rashford, Garnacho, Bruno, Evans, Dalot and Mainoo all really good so far.

Edit - we will probably still contrive to lose this though!

Chumpsbechumps · Jan 8, 2024

Garnacho working hard to win ball back there, there is no reason why Rashford can’t do the same

Yeah. Always for nothing.

Bondi77 · Jan 8, 2024

If he keeps getting chances and keeps missing them than that is going to be an issue.
He is an international as well so he is going to get plenty of game time to hone his goalscoring so I am happy to give him a season to get it together.

Anustart89 · Jan 8, 2024

The way the Wigan goalkeeper just furiously runs up to the ball and leathers it is quite funny.

Or his closing. Him and Garnacho then… one sprints to a Wigan player, one jogs and stops.

What gets me is we know he CAN play…

Yeah, would be good to see him, although, his facial features look like someone made on midjourney v1.

I agree which is why I think it was a ridiculous decision to sign Hojlund as our only cf option. A smarter club would have signed a more experienced cf before Hojlund. We should've spoken to Hojlund and told him we'll get you next summer giving him another season in serie A to develop and bringing him in when we've got another cf as an option. We didn't and therefore Hojlund gets this criticism. But at the same time to say it's undeserved criticism isn't true.

So we're agreeing it's not all fur no knickers? Thought as much!

AaronRedDevil · Jan 8, 2024

Why do our players hesitate every single fecking time. Either pass it or shoot. Don't wait for 3 players to get in front of you! Fecking idiots.

He'd be a nonstarter for Brighton. Maybe starts for Palace. And Utd.

64. Or did he trigger 8m in add ons already?

This. The lack of urgency is mind-boggling. Can't tell if it comes from arrogance or low confidence.

Drop McT, pull Bruno a bit back and play two strikers.
