[Adam-Utd]

He should have put it out for a corner, its a poor clearance.

Nobody would ever flick the ball backwards like that, it would probably end up being an own goal ffs. He might even flick it into an attacker.

he did his job fine but the other muppets are half asleep and have been all match

 

[Eurotrash]

We’ve been given more space than expected. No excuse for not creating more chances.

 

[Redfrog]

Ole is taking the season to play Martial into form...hope he will come good next season...

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Martial. I think the experiment has run its course now and he should be benched for the rest of the season.

 

[FireballXL5]

That half was a fecking car crash.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Worst half I've seen from them all season. They will lose this unless they get their finger out.

 

[Vidyoyo]

I reckon we'll come out in the second half and thump them.

 

[Andre Kagawa]

Get Diallo on ffs.

 

[diarm]

I was giving out about Maguire not heading it out for a corner, but having seen his attempts down the other end all season, there is every chance that is exactly what he was trying to do.

 

[Dobba]

Ole has got to stop with persisting with some of these players for no reason.

We are on for 1 win in six as it stands. That's shit form.

For no reason.

 

[48 hours]

Shite performance all around, one good piece of play from Rashford and that’s it

 

[Godfather]

The only way I can describe the way James plays is that he looks like he’s playing in SoccerAid.

Ole's decision to start him is something else

 

[The Urban Goose]

This game is 1-0 with Deano in goal.

This.

 

[PlayerOne]

Matic, James and Martial have been awful, 2 should come off but won't.

 

[AngliaRed]

Just as we all expected James does feck all against a low block. God, what must Greenwood be thinking.

 

[acnumber9]

Martial really showing his worth in that half. Fighting for his place.

 

[Judas]

Martial and James should never have been starting. The midfield has been poor, the overall tempo is just painfully slow.

 

[dwd]

So glad I’m not there this season. I’d be suicidal at our home performances. Utterly pathetic.

 

[Foxbatt]

You simply don't head the ball into the danger area. Maguire should have back headed it, instead of heading where he headed the ball.

 

[Castia]

One of the worst half’s in recent history that, absolutely piss poor the lot of them.


We cant Put 2 passes together and look like we just can’t be assed. Dreadful.

 

[RUCK4444]

Dan James and Martial have been beyond dire.

We need an upgrade in attack badly.

Neither of them should start the second half.

Unless injuries made it impossible Martial wouldn’t start for the rest of the season if I were manager.

 

[Zen86]

Well, that was an awful 45 minutes. It’s like a homage to the terrible spell we had in the first half of last season.

 

[Dec9003]

Who would you play up front tonight?

Greenwood? Or Rashford with one of the wingers on the bench coming in. Please don’t act like we don’t have any option but to play Martial.

 

[Leg-End]

Would love to see a reaction from Ole, send a message. First sub in the 75th minute coming up instead.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Fred cannot pass. It's actually really glaring once you watch out for it.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Don’t know what is worst - Our performance or Jermaine Jenas’ commentary?

 

[Member 90887]

James is a poor man's Valencia. A less powerful version though.

Never uses his left foot, never takes on his opponent, most of the times passes the ball back to a teammate.

 

[lex talionis]

Maguire, it must be said, chose poorly on the header. Just send out for a corner rather than back into play where you have no idea what’s behind you.

 

[SAFMUTD]

How anyone can watch that and think we are making progress is beyond me.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Utter dreadful first half.

Again.

Our football in the last month or so has been unacceptable. Boring shite

 

[Jack-C20]

Would look to bring on Amad and Greenwood for them at some point. They can't do any worse surely.

I think Ole will be thinking the same. It’s a shame it’ll be the 80th minute mind you.

 

[DWelbz19]

Imagine not being able to deal with a Newcastle United press.

Fecking Newcastle, man.

 

[Withnail]

This is on Ole. The team selection made zero sense.

Do you mean midfield? Because no one's fit. Take a look at the bench

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Couldn't agree more with this

 

[Godfather]

For no reason.

Playing James came for no reason. A flukey goal against a side 3-0 down is hardly a reason to start that waste of space

 

[Paxi]

Oh feck of. He had no chance there

Aye he’s expecting to fecking spark himself out against the post to just to show that he tried to save an unsaveable shot. fecking lunatics. No problems in blaming when he actually does feck up but blaming him for this goal is absolutely ludicrous.

 

[Andycoleno9]

You don't say? A Rashford run from the half way line. Something completely out of the blue. Zero chances created as I said

Against Socieadad we scored all goals from simple counters. Two players involved. But when we win big, people decide to not see how we won.

De Gea is finished.

We can't even cope with Newcastle pressing us.

This team has absolutely collapsed without Pogba.
