Worst half since....last game.

Can't disagree with that.

J-Stander · Jan 4, 2015

5 at the back needs to be binned. It's negative shit football and aren't creating enough with it.

Ronnie O'Sullivan · Jan 4, 2015

Well... at least we're not losing 4-0!

minoo-utd · Jan 4, 2015

Di Maria and Mata in.

Freak · Jan 4, 2015

I'm really clueless as to why we are playing this formation against Yeovil. That too with Rafael and Shaw both back.

17 Van der Gouw · Jan 4, 2015

Am I the only one that thinks Yeovil have done quite well?

...No worse than Stoke.

JonDahl · Jan 4, 2015

1 shot on target.

1.

Seem to be missing a bit of Ashley Young too...

Yup, he'd be much trickier to control down the left wing.

luke511 · Jan 4, 2015

5-3-2 is a cancer to this team, in a way I kinda wish we did get mauled by Arsenal so we'd never have to play this formation again.

JustAFan · Jan 4, 2015

Starting to look like the players we have are never going to figure this out. Might need 200mil this summer

kouroux · Jan 4, 2015

Movement off the ball is atrocious.
Passing to create danger is even more atrocious.
Terrible, terrible first half.

Krits · Jan 4, 2015

Casual and lethargic. Not one player has played well. We could easily control this game if we start playing out the back with a little composure. Enough of this long ball shit.

Castia · Jan 4, 2015

Just a matter of times lads they are on the ropes.

RonaldoVII · Jan 4, 2015

Shit formation, created nothing

How many shot on target 2??

Si.

Raw · Jan 4, 2015

Never thought I'd say it but we miss Young.

Looks like Mata's coming on at half time.

To entertain the crowd? They deserve it after that half

Mersault · Jan 4, 2015

Well, we're certainly not progressing every game in the process. Totally absent this half. A nothing game so far.

Change the formation. There's no penetration or pace with this formation.

And the 2 wing backs couldn't beat a man to save their life.

Rado_N · Jan 4, 2015

Every time a commentator says "the last man" I want to kick them in the scrotum.

Offside · Jan 4, 2015

Worst to best out of 10:

Rafael 0/10
Fletcher 0/10
Smalling 1/10
Shaw 1/10
Rooney 1/10
McNair 1/10
Rafael 1/10
Blackett 2/10
Herrera 2/10
Falcao 2/10
De Gea 3/10
Wilson 5/10

holyland red · Jan 4, 2015

We're hillariously shit. I thought the Villa and Stoke games were boring, but this takes it to a new level. I wonder what's in LVG philosophy notebook.

Falcao is the weakest player in the squad, loses every battle. He's adding literally nothing.

Swag?

Randall Flagg · Jan 4, 2015

It's been predictably poor. We have seen games like this plenty of times before

Either one moment of quality will turn it or they will get knackered

Or shock horror, it might go to a replay. Not unlike Burton and Exeter a few years ago

As always the costant barrage of bullshit is hilarious from the match day thread. You would think some of you had never seen a cup tie like this before.

I dont know what you are watching. Fletcher has done what he is meant to be doing. He had 1 moment of a poor touch when he got done for the high foot but he is doing his job. He is sitting in front of the back 3 and has played more dangerous balls forward than any other player. The 2 players who are having the poorest game are Rafael and Shaw. Neither of them are being in any way effective.

Fletcher has had far more than 1 poor moment - how about him pelting the ball at Shaw? He has lost possession in one way shape or form numerous times.

It isn't all his fault because as I said, Herrera has been invisible. Fletcher isn't the playmaker, Herrera is, and he (Herrera) hasn't done a good enough job of showing for the ball and creating chances.

As for Shaw and Rafael, both have made mistakes but have at least shown good attacking intent. I don't think a WB formation is ever going to be highly effective against lower league opposition as Yeovil can just put their FBs on our WBs and not have to worry about any sort of overlap.

pcaming · Jan 4, 2015

I cannot believe how rubbish that half was, the players and staff are embarrassing this club.

Man Utd 0
Real Madrid 0

We've been under the pump but have held them out admirably.

Even had a few counter attacks and a couple of shots.

BRING ON THE SECOND HALF!!!

Matty7 · Jan 4, 2015

Need to go to 4 at the back, more bodies in midfield then and we might actually be able to control a game against the bottom club in league 1. 5 at the back does not work, as we rely on Mcnair and Blackett to come forward to much which kills us.

Mark_GrumpyLion · Jan 4, 2015

Yawn. That's all I have to say about the first half.

Loublaze · Jan 4, 2015

How the fvck are we third in the league?

Ixion · Jan 4, 2015

Fletcher, McNair and the referee crap so far.

Raw said:
Fecking hell, is our away form really this terrible?

We'll see … think we'll turn it around but am worried that once we score a goal LvG might do some defensive changes and screw everything up!

space · Jan 4, 2015

Poor from Fletcher in my opinion, he has had so much space in the middle at times, only to pass it short.

This is the worst team in League one. Why can we not outplay them ? Why did we not create one decent chance in 45 mins ?

I'm sorry but that was a joke of a first half.

Look at the off the ball movement for us and you know why. Our players seem to be under-estimating Yeovil expecting to beat them without spending much energy.

I still expect us to up our game more in the second half.

Red Dreams · Jan 4, 2015

iAm20Legend said:
Sorry, but Fletcher has to go. And we need a right back.

agree.

and we need a solid midfield player.

Strootman please. no ball winners in there.

Thugmann · Jan 4, 2015

LVG Half time team talk "I expect a much better showing in the second half"

Cannot put my finger on our lethargic and lacklustre performance. Why have we been so invisible?!

Me trying to balance on my toes like a ballet dancer would result in a greater showing of balance than this team.

If Yeovil was more clinical in attack they would be winning

If United were playing better they would be doing better.

daniel9988 · Jan 4, 2015

We're playing horribly

Dargonk · Jan 4, 2015

Poor half hearted half from us. We are playing far to safe right now, with no pace or real movement at all. I'd take McNair off at half time (purely based on the head injury) and change to a four at the back. Bring someone like Di Maria or Adnan on and tell them to run at players and look to move it about quickly.
