[Kill 'em all]

Everything Lingard touches turns to shit.

 

[Jazz]

Oh Rom... that was a chance

 

[Hansa]

Apart from the scoreline being better, not much has changed since the Spurs game in terms of tactics or quality, it seems.

 

[Raoul]

Martial and Rom should've done better with their chances.

 

[Wowi]

I like Lingard a lot, but his position seems a bit redundant with this lineup. Both Martial and Sanchez drifts towards the center and Pogba likes to play further forward than a regular midfielder as well. As a result we quite often have four players trying to play within the same small area. Think we'd be a lot better off with an extra midfielder

 

[Shane88]

Surprise surprise, 5 attacker horseshit doesn't work again.

"But it's Newcastle."

Feck off.

 

[J-Stander]

How is that a foul by Sanchez?

It wasn’t. Their whinging crowd are winning them stuff now.

 

[Offside]

So infuriating to watch. You can count the amount of decent first halves we've had under Mouriniho on one hand though.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

That has been one of the worst halves of football I have seen.

You must have missed the Spurs game.

 

[Carolina Red]

Oh what an assist that would have been by Sanchez

 

[Anustart89]

Well, that was fecking shite. No wonder considering we're playing with about eight disinterested players, of which one can't even run due to an injury.

 

[Manny]

1 minute of injury time?

Martial's injury alone was one minute...

 

[Summit]

We've been fecking shit apart from Sanchez.

I think Lukaku has been brilliant.

 

[Mibabalou]

Poor half, everyone bar DDG has been below par.

 

[TsuWave]

Is Pogba injured or playing shite cos either way he's leaving Matic to run the midfield all by himself.

he's injured. there was a passage of play where he kinda bent over and touched his leg

 

[Dobba]

So it looks like we've got two options from the attacking lot.

a) Lukaku is rubbish, the rest link up well
b) Lukaku has a good game, the rest can't pass water.

 

[kouroux]

Lingard critics out again

Nah, he hasn't been good in this half.

 

[Dolf]

Nothing positive about this first half. Keep playing like this and we draw 0-0.

 

[James Peril]

The classic Lukaku «control and deflected for corner»-shot. That’s why he’s on 12 goals instead of 20 like the best strikers in the league. Give that exact chance to Kane/Aguero and it’s a goal 8/10.

 

[devil in me]

That was dreadful. Pogba and Lingard off, McTominay and Mata on.

 

[Trophy Room]

His hold-up play is still objectively terrible.

Either you are not watching the game or don't understand what hold up play is. His hold up play today has been excellent.

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

think we are doing alright. Not a super half though and we can do better.

 

[Garethw]

Mourinho needs to step up. We look clueless in attack, light in midfield and shakey in defence.

 

[SuperiorXI]

Dropping Lingard?? Why what has he done to deserve being dropped??

I'd rather maximise Pogba's potential than Lingard.

 

[Gazautd18]

Lucky to go in 0-0

 

[ayushreddevil9]

So infuriating to watch. You can count the amount of decent first halves we've had under Mouriniho on one hand though.

I think we were decent but not ruthless enough

 

[lysglimt]

Been one of our better players. Had a terrible start but recovered well.

If you ignore the fact that he can't be bothered to track back when we lose the ball - which in my book is pretty bad if you are a central midfielder

 

[ash_86]

Bring Mctom for Lingard, push Pogba up

 

[Jazz]

Sanchez been good.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

That has been one of the worst halves of football I have seen.

Have you not watched any other games of ours this season?

 

[Drifter]

Barcodes will be happy with that half

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Goal is coming, most likely from Sanchez or Martial.

 

[LilyWhiteSpur]

Mata and Rashers on if this doesn't change

He not on the bench is he? Jose said hes injured.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Start of the season it looked like we'd finally sorted out our set pieces but we're right back to normal now.

Every set piece either hits the first man or sails into the keepers arms. Shite.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Balance of the team is all over the place.

 

[Banat]

Lukaku excellent, Sanchez very good. Young and Martial solid.
Pogba is either out of form or playing with an injury, something is not right.

 

[Offside]

Lukaku's hold up play is actually decent when his first touch is good. But his control is just woeful.

 

[Trophy Room]

You must have missed the Spurs game.

You are right I did.

 

[JonDahl]

Lackluster.

 

[Hugh Jass]

Lukaku has been good. Sanchez too. Martial should have buried that chance. Pogba could be better. Lingarrd has been poor.

A bit better passing and we could be ahead.

 

[Rednotdead]

Can I have a refund on those 45 minutes please?

 

[Jippy]

Referring to before the 'pen' incident.

Ah, I only got in about five mins before tbe pen not given and seemed like we were having the luck.
People seem to be saying the ref has just been shit full stop.
