Dan James would be much more effective as a sub coming on late.

 

[GifLord]

Aguero chance

 

[Tony247]

Not feeling good about this. Bruno is practically out of the game. There is nobody to distribute to him from back. City has overcrowded the midfield

 

[NewGlory]

That was a horrible head clearance by Maguire. Thanks, Matic, for saving

 

[Tony247]

Missing McT badly

 

[Josep Dowling]

We look terrible so far, panicked defending. Rushed clearances and just booting it straight back to them. Mourinho style football.

 

[Irrational.]

City's back line is shit, if only we bothered to attack.

 

[Adam-Utd]

I don’t like 352 for us at all.

it’s attack v defence at the moment.

Agree. Bruno seems turned off. Worrisome

 

[mitchmouse]

Not sure about Ole's team selection or the set up. we are not getting Bruno on the ball at all. I dread what will happen if we go behind. I'd rather have Scotty in the side and maybe even Ighalo up top rather than martial

 

[diarm]

This is starting to feel like a long afternoon.

 

[thepolice123]

Matic bailed us out there. Thank feck.

McT instead of Williams would make so much more sense.

 

[Jonno]

funniest reply I have seen

Clearly you’ve not seen how we play this tactic then. When we have the ball and are advancing up the pitch, AWB and Williams support the midfield.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Poor shot

 

[dannyrhinos89]

Poor effort from James there

 

[Andycoleno9]

Williams is awful in defence. No sense for positioning at all.

 

[Random Task]

We look unable to cope with them. They’re suffocating us exactly the same as last time they came to OT.

We aren't handing the press well at all, are we?

Sitting deep and relying on counter-attacks is our only realistic chance of getting anything from this game.

DDG has sent a dozen balls over his head so far.

 

[2 man midfield]

James argh

 

[UnofficialDevil]

Classic Ole. 5 defenders only tactic is counter.

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

Strange tactics to just let City have the ball. Hanging onto the ropes already with James the outlet.

It wasn't a coincidence, pep knows what he's doing

 

[The Firestarter]

James is brain dead.

 

[KennyBurner]

These guys dont understand how to function in this formation. Fred and bruno both running to press the same player before realizing only one is needed.

James shooting is poor by the way.

 

[SAFMUTD]

Parking the bus is going to cost us

 

[Damien]

I hate this lets play with 5 defenders and counter attack mentality. We are Manchester United playing at home.

Guessing it is to do with our away record against them being way better than our home record, so we're setting up as if we're away.

 

[mitchmouse]

martial not up with the play there

 

[DRM]

Ahhh James shoot across the Keeper there!!!

 

[tenpoless]

Matic did well there.

 

[Antisocial]

Will James ever score for us again?

 

[barros]

I just dont understand how Ole looks to gain from these tactics. We are supposedly defending yet they have oceans of space near our box.

The key of good defending is the middle field, 5 in the back is not a solution because gives the other team more space.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Standard finishing by James

 

[TsuWave]

This Daniel James guy...

 

[Irrational.]

Really poor from James. Excellent from Bruno.

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

I’m younger than Usain Bolt, doubt I’d keep up with him though.

You’re not a professional athlete

 

[Escobar]

We're dominated early on. All we can hope is a counter lucky punch goal but once City score, I have doubts we'll come back

 

[GifLord]

James chance

 

[Stadjer]

Otamendi just lets James take a shot because he knows James wont score anyway

 

[Tony247]

James idiot martial was open on left ...fk fk
