I'm not talking about getting sent off per se.

I'm talking about getting sent off because of a chronic inability to control the ball properly despite that being an obvious weakness for the duration of his career. That doesn't happen to the best, because by virtue of being the best, they can control a football.

So my point still stands?… despite his style of play he’s never been sent off for us…

Hence I’m not that mad

You guys make the best jokes!

Jack-C20 · Sep 14, 2021

Am I going mad, why is this game early? I thought that was for games in Russia. Either way, better late than never. I’m here for the second half.

We have always been absolutely terrible when we go down to 10 men for as long as I can remember.

Not so , 10 men FA Cup Final v Everton , we played better then them with 10 men, deserved the win.
Seen us play a few times with 10 men and play well.

The ref was obviously bribed with Swiss cheese.

Does anyone really think City or Chelsea would struggle here? Or even Liverpool?

Because that's supposedly our level. A team with our resources should be able to still control a match against the weakest CL group team.

But, we don't really look like we have our collective sh*t together. It's all down to that midfield, and coaching it to be functional.

Get Ronnie off for someone with energy, pull Pogba back and keep the ball. Be dull, stodgy and in control.

Chelsea didn't struggle after James went off against Liverpool, so obviously no.

Our lack of structure is getting exposed even more after the red card.

Judas · Sep 14, 2021

We were in first gear in control till the red card. We were going through the motions but thought we could get a few if we wanted.

Red card has changed the complexion of the game though. Hopefully we adapt and come out with a plan.

Wasnt even a foul. If anything, should have been a yellow to the Young Boys player for simulation

He stepped on his ankle.

I think that Matic has to come in

Come into....the retirement home? I would agree with that.

laughtersassassin · Sep 14, 2021

We need to aim to get possession and control.

We feck this up if we go out to defend the lead.

Jake · Sep 14, 2021

Be a bit of a slog this second half.

May need a goal on the counter at some point

Eddy_JukeZ · Sep 14, 2021

Ole needs to make changes at HT. He's got to do something.

I think we should put Pogba back in midfield and let him get more touches and bring in Lingard/Greenwood for a counter threat.

Or he could put in Varane and go 3 back.

Sticking with that same team that ended the half is asking for trouble.

Nothing special, but did ok. Adapted to the surface better than others.

He has been one of our better players.
Not done anything amazing but he’s been tidy and rarely lost the ball. Hope he keeps it up

Banana Republic · Sep 14, 2021

Pogba is trying, but isn’t giving us anything above ordinary in this match.
He’s getting overwhelmed and bullied off the ball far too much.
We need to stop them overrunning our midfield now, so I’d go for 4-3-2 or 4-3-1-1
With Matic on for Pogba to shore up the midfield, allowing Donny to break forward and support the front two.

Shane88 · Sep 14, 2021

This is a fine mess we've gotten ourselves into.

Remember the glory days where you could "tackle" someone 6 inches higher, snap their leg in half and not only not get sent off but get named MoTM? Good times.

I'm actually missing the days when Vidic and Evra could have an absolute mare on their debuts and go on to dominate the league and Europe together.

There are some holes in that argument

Ace of Spades · Sep 14, 2021

Bring on Varane at least, and maybe then think about Pogba and Ronaldo subs later.

Varane's composure would be huge right now, I don't trust Lindelof to see this through. McTominay would have been useful as well right now.

Being a man up might encourage them to throw caution to the wind and attack more in the second half, which is never a good idea against this United side.

Yup. A couple of slick passes and play in CR7.

Need some calm heads in the 2nd half. We should be okay.

Defensively better in that role than Pogba is…

Pavl3n · Sep 14, 2021

WTF? Game already started?!
I saw the early line up and didn't think it was early kick off.

There's going to be 5.45 kick offs for some games so there's more to put on tv

Now that's the type of midfield this team needs.

Annihilate Now! · Sep 14, 2021

Dunno how anyone can think that's not a red in this day and age. He's lunged in and put his studs and all his weight into the lads ankle.

VanHaal'sRedArmy · Sep 14, 2021

I guess you can see why Trippier was targeted in the summer.

He wasn't afraid to get involved and he worked hard throughout. A good half overall.

Dazzmondo · Sep 14, 2021

Varane is coming on

Presume they want an earlier game each night now, but why they didn’t pick Dynamo’s, I don’t know.

We are also the earlier kick-off away at Villarreal.

I mean they turned into bus parking mode and held on, but its hardly comfortable or lacking struggle. They're a better defensive side than us anyway.

Djemba-Djemba · Sep 14, 2021

I find it absolutely baffling that there are some people who don't think it was a red.

Feel like AWB never wins headers.

Worst header of the ball I’ve ever seen

Siorac · Sep 14, 2021

We were in control but once again barely creating anything until Wan Bissaka's... maneuver. Now the goal is to survive, perhaps to hit them on the break a couple of times.

And yeah, once again this game shows why it's crucial to have footballers who are very comfortable on the ball. It has to be a priority, regardless of position.

Middling. Himself and Fred were grand. More involved and better than Pogba and Sancho but not doing much either.
