[SirAnderson]

McTominay and Fred having a great half so far

They have, haven't they. It's our creative players that need to step it up a notch.

 

[Rado_N]

Thiago Silva is a Tory

 

[neilv93]

Rashford still limping. Not good news.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

£15m now no longer looks like a bargain for Dan James.

 

[Cantonaaa!]

Gif of that lob from Bruno?

 

[steffyr2]

Wow this is dull. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
chelsea looking the better team Atm. 20 minutes in and We have done nothinG in attack.

Blaming it on the single camera, no pregame, nothing about ManUtd -- all chatter about the wonders of Chelsea. I miss the fake noise.

 

[Ranchero]

What a stupid yellow card from Havertz

 

[Agila Dathi]

Possession 42%-58% at Old Trafford

 

[Shark]

McTominay and Fred having a great half so far

They are. Breath of fresh air to Pogba the superstar losing possession in his own half.

 

[Dobba]

Thiago Silva is a Tory

Their whole team are.

 

[Bebestation]

This is true. I sense the other players don't trust him.

I was just going to say this. Our players dont see any use in passing to James because he will just lose the ball.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Dan James is simply an empty suit of a footballer. Would rather have Lingard in there

 

[sammsky1]

See Ole seems quite happy. Really. How can you be happy.

Because the game is going to plan? Looks fine to me

 

[Massive Spanner]

Havertz looks like something out of Twilight.

 

[DickDastardly]

This half press looks good.

Not going all the way and getting exposed, but still not letting them play in our half.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

HT

 

[Drifter]

Rashford limping?

 

[Tarrou]

We have to bring James off at half time, he offers nothing and we have plenty of quality on the bench

 

[Random Task]

That might have been the worst half of football ever.

Urgh.

 

[Judas]

That was grim. The game is clearly there to be won though.

 

[Bulldog United]

Well that was disappointing.

 

[NJM78]

Get Cavani on second half and move Rashford left. Pogba/VdB on for McTominay and Greenwood for Mata.

 

[Untd55]

Dreadful game. Probably the worst I have seen this season.

 

[Amadaeus]

Man that was some shite football in that half. Almost fell asleep

 

[SAFMUTD]

£15m now no longer looks like a bargain for Dan James.

 

[sammsky1]

Beautiful play from Mata

 

[VeevaVee]

This is dull

 

[Reiver]

£15m now no longer looks like a bargain for Dan James.

Does if you support Leeds.

 

[dannyrhinos89]

Worst 45 minutes of football Ive witnessed.

 

[Arka_BleedingRed]

Because Ole picks him.

Thank you for clarifying that.

 

[Prodigy24]

Boring first half. Changes needs to be made during the break. James just can't stay on for the second half.

 

[Josep Dowling]

What a terrible first half. It needs changing but Ole doesn’t like an early change.

 

[Irrational.]

Havertz looks like a young Voldemort.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

James has to come off.

 

[kiristao]

Would move Rashford to the left and bring in Cavani in the 2nd half. James is offering nothing.
On a side note, if Pogba offered even 80% of Mctominay's intensity and hardwork then Pogba, Fred and Bruno would have been an amazing midfield 3.

 

[Jazz]

That was grim. The game is clearly there to be won though.

It wasn't;t that bad..

 

[ha_rooney]

So slow from both teams. Very safe in possession & seem happy to keep their shape.

Don’t see the point of James. Rather Pogba or VDB come on for him.

 

[Toad]

I don’t think he does mate. Starting him in such a big game is madness. 3 points against Chelsea would be huge for Our top 4 hopes.

You ever watch a bunch of toddlers play football? All the energy but every one of them just chases after the ball all at once. James is one of those.

 

[Ranchero]

Has he woken up?

Maybe he was staring like a smiling zombie into the ether, wondering if he will be swallowed up.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

All our good stuff is through Bruno and Mata again, could do with an alternative option .
