Post-match discussion


Sun, 03 November 2024

Not the worst result, even though we really needed a win, but I still think it was a shit game. To f...ck up as many chances as we had, is inexcusable.
 
Our lack of a clinical striker is so obvious and painful.
If we had Ruud/RvP upfront now, we would have won that by a couple probably. They would have buried that Rashford and Garnacho chance.
 
We deserved or maybe should have won it in the last 10-15 mins. We were the more dangerous team.
 
Poor enough game , we were 2nd best for most of it , draw was the must we deserved.

Amorim has a hell of a job on his hands working with this squad to get them anywhere near the top.

Worst start to premolar league season ever , and the league table is not lying , we are a bottom half team.

Ruud was abit busy on the sidelines but I'm sure he'd could of subbed himself on instead of Zirkzee and done a better job
 
Priority has to be someone who can put the ball in the net. Could have and probably should have won it. Gary neville does my head in these days.
 
I don't see any difference to ETH, the favourite continues to play regardless of form. Garnacho is criminal in front of goal, Bruno is careless with the ball and happily giving the ball away. Rashford is non existent. If we want to win, we need to drop Bruno and Rashford. Garnacho and Hoijund are bench players at most, how are they starting game I beyond my imagination??
 
Positives:
- Bruno first league goal
- Hojlund
- the central defense and Maz doing decently
- Ugarte and Casemiro looking solid and fighting for the balls
- Casemiro's long balls
- the OT atmosphere
- Onana
- Rashford helping the defense for once
- Ruud's passion

Negatives:
- Garnacho utterly frustrating game and not getting subbed (worst player on the pitch)
- Zirkzee killing all our attacks and being slow af (bad signing)
- Dalot still errorprone
- some referee decisions (as always against us)
- Caicedo's lucky goal
- the fact we couldn't win to Chelsea

Overall more positives, but got the feeling we should have won this at Old Trafford
 
Had to go out right after Bruno’s penalty so missed the last part of the game. Surprised Rashford came off rather than Garnacho.
 
Awful performance as per at this ground. I can't remember the last time we've actually played well here.
 
Chelsea are one of the strongest teams in the league so far. A point is ok for us. Nothing to be ashamed of.
Garnacho Bruno and Rashford are very good players but man o man do they make thing harder than they have to be. Just play the simple pass more often and give us longer attacks. Lots of potential in this team though
 
It's hilarious and sad at the same time how much better McT would have been as the impact sub for Hojlund. I'm also still not convinced by the starting front 3.
 
Two mediocre teams gave a 1-1 result.
Expected a loss so I’m OK with it.
Ugarte, Zirk are disappointment.
Overall: Bleh.
 
Meh I'll take it, expectations are way out of sync on here. Chelsea could have gone 3rd today (remind me where we were). Sky piling on the doom trying to drive the narrative.... Wonder if Chelsea get any criticism? They were the favourite after all
 
Frustrating not to win when taking the lead on 70 minutes. Draw was the least United deserved out of that game but concerning moving forward under a new full manager where the goals are going to come from? As for Chelsea 2013 since they won a game in Old Trafford.
 
Fair result but we should have won considering the chances we had. I don't want to be too negative but I have to call out Garnacho. He always picked the selfish option unless there was none. He'll never develop into a good attacker if he can't sort that out. Very disappointed in him tonight.
 
Fair result overall, neither team was any good. Doubt I'll even remember this game come the end of the season. But given where we are this season, we might feel happier with that than they do.

I didn't have that many complaints effort wise. It's more the lack of any plan that undid us. Ruud was never going to fix things in a day, I don't blame him, but we looked like a team in need of direction.

I just hope we get a couple of wins in our next two games to give Amorim the best possible platform for success, and to give Ruud a nice send off.
 
Most of our players thought process is so muddled I can't help but think that it's got this way because of the muddled thinking behind the coaching. I will never accept that good players (before coming to Utd) cannot pass competently for 10 min under zero pressure but this is all down to the non-coaching they've had.

RVN can't be held responsible but I would have thought the players would show more drive and commitment but instead it was a damp squib! Amorim woukd have watched that game thinking there are 70% of tge squad that need a total reset on how to play football...big job indeed!
 
We have a terrible issue. Very visible. When we receive the ball before the halfway line, there is so much space in the middle. We have to play a long ball which we eventually lose. We dont know how to build up
 
What does Zirkzee bring to the game?

Garnacho regressing so much in one season.
Garnacho isn't regressing, he's an inconsistent young winger. He can be extremely poor but he does keep going even when he has a bad game. Where his ceiling is I've no idea but inconsistent performances are to be expected of a 20 year old winger.
