Manchester United 2:2 Steven Gerrard's Villa (Sat 23rd July, 10:45 UK time)

So McGinn still hasnt got a yellow? And Lindelof is so soft.
 
The players are updated on how to do vs some players... left footed right winger is supposed to be pushed outside. Lindelöf doing the opposite
 
If Lindelöf had pushed up and got done people would be having a go for letting Bailey run the length of the pitch unopposed. He has to stand off, slow him down and wait for someone to help me out. I swear some people know nothing about football.
 
Dalot sliding like a curling stone after a foul from McGinn. Sadly the brush team too slow to try and guide him towards the penalty area.
 
Easy for Villa. That's the risk of playing high up the pitch. Oh, well.
More like the risk of jockeying from the halfway line without putting a tackle in.
 
Twice now we've seen the issue of Shaw not being in position with the CB awkwardly having to cover the space.

Lindelof should do better but it seems like a tactical issue to me.

It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation
 
Look at that pitch. This game is turning into the west coast version of State of Origin.
 
Not the first time you have seen Robin Olsen doing something like that. He is really bad with his feets.

Yea but he should have showed him outside

:lol: ridiculous. you show him down the line and dont let him cut inside. you just dont just wobble backwards and let him dictate what he wants to do.

He literally doesnt do either. He might as well not bother and let him run straight at de gea.
 
Well defended by Shaw there against Bailey who's looked really dangerous
 
DvB has been pointless. Rather a youth player come on & get some time to impress.

The issue is that he let him come inside and get his shot off.
 
I’d be inclined to get the youngsters on now. This pitch is an injury waiting to happen.
