That ‘counter attack’ from Lingard at the end summed up the performance. Mata and Lingard should be sold first thing. Mata literally turns back and passes back every time he gets the ball.

Bring on some changes in the second half and kill this game please. Why are the kids not playing this match?

 

[Untd55]

Okay

A valued contribution.

 

[M Bison]

Despite clearly being on the downside, he still has offered way more than Lingard over the last several years.

Over the past couple of years, Mata has been better. But his legs have gone now and cant compete, which is where Lingard (who is still incredibly poor) is better. As i say, it's really saying something.

 

[SirAnderson]

I understand we have been poor, but why must we always go to extremes? Surely you can acknowledge this is the first game back for these players, and naturally they will be poor, as has been every team that played their first game, even the "mighty" liverpool.
Sure going forward we can still acknowledge some of these players shouldn't be first team players, but not so long ago people were happy to have Pogba go, cause McT and Fred were now pull their weight. Now they shite again. Geez, can't keep up.

 

[Deery]

In brighter news, a horse called Tommy Taylor just got me an each way place at 9/1 in his race in Ireland. You have to back it with a name like that.

Is that at the Curragh, any good horse out today?

 

[roseguy64]

Awful decisions by Ole to field this line up.

The players have all had months off for feck sake. The season is only running another month. We don't need to rest players this desperately to be playing Mata and Lingard together. Ever.

Yes we do. Have you actually looked at our upcoming schedule?

 

[JTW95]

Almost forgot how dramatic this place gets when things aren't compeltely going our way

A massive change from the Sheffield game

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

FFS, you’d think this Liverpool side have found the cure for cancer.

 

[MarylandMUFan]

Lineups came out and I put a bit on both teams to score. Guess I'll say bye to that money.

 

[edgecutter]

Those players out there should be good enough to beat Norwich. We still need a massive cull to get rid of some this deadwood

 

[redzombie]

fingers in ears. la la la la la la la

 

[fps]

Ole's getting slaughtered in here for making too many changes, but I think that the kind of selection he put out is the only sensible option. Tuesday will be the third game in six days, and if you're going to feck about with rotation, this match is the only choice.

For many here this match is the only match, because it’s on now. It’s the least important match left in United’s season.

 

[groovyalbert]

Diogo Dalot is having himself a TERRIBLE game.

Nothing about him has convinced me he should be considered one of the most promising right backs in Europe. How we decided to fork out millions on him instead of promoting from within highlights some of the daft money we've spent recently.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Cant play the same players every game game man.

On Lingard's place today he could have play Gomes, Pereira, Chong, Williams, Dalot (with Laird on fb). All players who are rested

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

What the feck has Liverpool got to do with Norwich vs Man Utd?? Fecking seeping into every single thing!

 

[freddie the red]

Backsides need some serious kicking!

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Awful half. As was said by the pundits, everyone is wanting to come to the ball. Its slow, safe and ponderous. Need to liven it up, otherwise we'll be going out.

 

[Withnail]

Now ole don't send greenwood into this. We need experience on the field.

What? We need pace and creativity

 

[sunama]

OGS messed up the team selection. Too many changes with incomings out of form has resulted in a sedentary performance.

I think he should bring on Pogba and Greenwood at half time and if still no change, Rashford and Martial on 60 mins.

I don't think Ole makes half time changes.
He prefers to wait till 60 mins and then 80 mins.

 

[Random Task]

This shows that we need another midfielder. McTominay and Fred are nowhere near good enough for the first team.

Come on mate, Fred and Mctominay were all but carrying the team before Bruno arrived to shake things up.

They've been out for months and are slowly working themselves back to fitness. Give them time

 

[MikeKing]

It's been a valuable season. We have reached a conclusion on Rashford and Martial. They are more than capable of producing world class performances for us, and we should stick with them. The likes of Lingard and Mata have no excuses left and will surely be sold the next window.

 

[Salus Populi Suprema Lex]

Is that at the Curragh, any good horse out today?

Ye, mate, Curragh. Sir Dragonet beaten again in a three horse Group 3. Don't know what's happened to him this year.

 

[Rooney in Paris]

I took a 10mn nap at halftime and it was way more exciting than anything that's happened since the kickoff

 

[48 hours]

I love talk of Liverpool at half time during a game between two different sides.

in a competition they aren’t in now

 

[GoldanoGraham]

No changes? Ffs.......

 

[el3mel]

We have a lot of players on the bench to win this easily so no worry. It just shows Lingard and Mata have no more business here even as squad options.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

No subs?

 

[sunama]

Just proves you should never start Mata and Lingard at the same time. Simply doesn’t work.

The worrying thing is that fans like you and me know this, but our manager doesn't.

 

[United Hobbit]

No changes? Really Ole?

But dont forget we cant make subs before a set time

 

[JTW95]

What the feck has Liverpool got to do with Norwich vs Man Utd?? Fecking seeping into every single thing!

Ridiculous. Its an FA Cup game that its going to be watched by mostly Man United fans.

Let's talk about their biggest rivals winning a different tournament im sure they will love that. Baffling.

 

[KirkDuyt]

His Chelsea season?

Yeah

 

[SAFMUTD]

Ole will wait until the 65 minute, because watching that shit show for 45 is not enough.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Can’t blame Bruno for not wanting to come back out

 

[RonaldoVII]

That's a chance for him

 

[ha_rooney]

Ahh, great chance. Great ball.

 

[Offside]

If we take too long to make subs here we risk a very embarrassing exit.

 

[M Bison]

Lovely knock from Fred, absolutely stunning!

 

[Tony247]

Question is will Ole make subs before his 80 min brain alarm?

 

[Hephaestus]

That would have been amazing.

 

[NewGlory]

What? We need pace and creativity

Agree. Greenwood has enough experience to open up a team like Norwich, wide open. He better.
