They're both too static to be on the field together. We can attack more as Valencia's not that strong.

Yup, we all know who to blame for that. He creates fear and everyone loses confidence

 

[Jazz]

I actually think Lukaku is the problem. He isnt doing the job well enough required of a CF.

When some of us said we didn't want him as we didn't think he was good enough, we got shouted down.
Anyway, he's here now so hoping he flukes a goal tonight.

 

[Robbie Boy]

It would be a cold day in hell before you see Lukaku and Fellaini substituted

 

[Infra-red]

Juve will absolutely smash us if we play this like.

I'd expect them to do that regardless - a far, far better side.

 

[peridigm]

I actually think Lukaku is the problem. He isnt doing the job well enough required of a CF.

Why doesn't Jose drop him then?

 

[AngliaRed]

Mata & Fred on. Will move the ball quicker and get us up the pitch more.

 

[Andersons Dietician]

I don't like this midfield.

It's far too ponderous and slow.

We need some more dynamism in there.

It's either Fellaini or Matic. Not both at the same time. It's overkill.

Made even worse by the fact Valencia keep cutting through it like it isn’t even there, which makes you wonder what is the point other than their height at set pieces.

This is where 1 or both will score 2nd half

 

[Camy89]

My workday seems to be moving at lightning speed compared to a United game.

Every cloud.

 

[Joseunited]

It's not good is it.Rashford and Sanchez making any effort to show for the ball which isn't saying much.

 

[simonhch]

Looking forward to TNT cutting to full time analysis and commercials at around 75's.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

On the ball, we look void of ideas and very predictable. Off the ball, we look ragged and too open in wide areas.

 

[red4ever 79]

Some exciting options on the bench lads. Never seen us with such a strong squad of top players. Darmian, Lindelof McTominay, Mata.

 

[acnumber9]

It does when we are the home team, and are expected to win. They are in control to get what they want, a draw at OT is a good result for them, so yeah, they are in control.

Ok.

 

[Cloud7]

Who was that bearded guy chatting with Mourinho as they came out of the tunnel? Don’t recall seeing him around before.

 

[Massive Spanner]

Usually? He had a baron spell of 10+ games last season which affected us massively and put us out of the running for the title.

He’s not good enough. He simply isn’t.

He’s not a patch on players like Kane, Aguero who are top players. He scores some useless goals every now and again.

I can’t remember the last time he scored a goal which got me pumped and waiving my fist in the air. A proper important goal.

He scored 20+ goals in his previous 3 or 4 PL seasons. That's a damn good record.

Pretty much every player in our team has gone to shit under Mourinho, you can't really judge him on that

Of course he's not an Aguero or Kane but who is? There is a severe lack of top strikers available right now, especially in this market. Who are we supposed to get instead that won't cost 150m?

 

[RedCurry]

I don't see all the hate for Lukaku's step-overs.

 

[SteveJ]

Would it hurt Mourinho to wear the club's crest, ffs?

 

[BrianMcClair'sBarnet]

Got 8/11 on my predictions line-up.Happy-days.

 

[PvsNP]

We need some quick passing in midfield. Sub one of Matic/Fellaini for Fred.

 

[GifLord]

Is it just me or does the stadium look empty?

 

[Eriku]

There's probably more fun in watching opera than this match.

Hey now, whoa... no need to slag off opera, that shit can be real good.

No white text.

 

[Jazz]

Why doesn't Jose drop him then?

Because he kisses Jose's arse Nah, I think he would feel bereft without having his target man there...

 

[Classical Mechanic]

This is a must win really. Don’t we have back to backs against Juve whilst Valencia get to slap Young Boys about. Then we have YB and then Valencia away.

 

[snk123]

Just put Fred on for Fellani and Martial for Lukaku. PLEASE!!!

 

[Massive Spanner]

Mata & Fred on. Will move the ball quicker and get us up the pitch more.

Mata will make us move the ball quicker? It'll take him 45 minutes just to get in the oppo box

 

[Minimalist]

Is it just me or does the stadium look empty?

It does.

 

[Shark]

Second half as not started and the Jose out now brigade as started.

Which is probably about 80% of the Caf at this point?

Not sure what you expect.

 

[red4ever 79]

Is it just me or does the stadium look empty?

It's not just you

 

[Stubble]

Our attacking players will never look any good until we have a bit of impetus and invention further back in the team. None of the defence can find a quick pass and a midfield of Fellaini and Matic is static, laboured, uninventive and dull. Pogba can't do it all on his own. Add 'dance on the spot' Valencia to the equation and we're stuffed. Mourinho bought Fred to help with this problem but has now gone back to type with the defensive set ups - Periera doesn't even get a look in. Nothing will change until this manager is gone.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Hey now, whoa... no need to slag off opera, that shit can be real good.

No white text.

At least the fat lady might have some chest control.

 

[Kopral Jono]

Valencia is a disgrace. That is all.

 

[GifLord]

Can we have a gif of the heskey stepovers by Lukaku? I want to cry. @GifLord

Which min was that?

 

[Canagel]

Lukaku is useless in this team. We don't attack many times so the few times we do we just can't have someone messing up with his feet. We need a killer upfront.

 

[Dobba]

Heads should roll at OT. Who forgot to lock the two teams in the dressing rooms?

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Lukaku on the right and Rashford through the middle just time

 

[FromTheBench]

Lukaku

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Lukaku has been shocking yet again.

 

[Bobcat]

Lukaku

 

[FootyGirl88]

Martial and Rashford up top is the way to go - Jose won't realise till it's too late

 

[Camy89]

2 minutes in and a wayward simple pass and some shite control from Lukaku.

Christ almighty.
