Would we all agree the Rangers goal was more of foul on Maguire than the goal United had disallowed for a so called foul by Yoro?

And?

People assume that is racist.

 

[Sea-Cow]

It was a great touch and finish for their goal. And completely out of nowhere.

 

[DJ_21]

We weren’t as bad as people think. A lot more possession and more attempts than them. Finishing is a big issue. With a ST next season we should be finishing games of.

I think so. There ST actually put both hands on Maguire.

High energy low quality game. Fulham are going to beat us easily if we turn up like this over the weekend

 

[TR1LL]

Maybe it was the quality of the opposition but I feel like our set piece routine had changed and each delivery caused chaos. Very similar to this Arsenal approach where you rush the near post.

Can we try Garnacho at 9 and just leave Holjund and Zirkzee as impact subs?

Guy has practically no upper body strength. He'll get swallowed up by centre backs.

What we need to do is put him on finishing training.

Or sell him to Chelsea for 100m (only because selling him for the same price as they sold us Mason Mount is all kinds of fecked up)

Mixed performance. Thought Martinez was terrific on the ball, best in a long time. It also added up to a strong game from Bruno. Amad snd Dalot both pretty good, Garnacho tried and tried, good second half. But de Ligt and Yoro unimpressive, CM pairing lacking in control and impact, and Zirkzee just never got into it.

 

[Glorio]

I was thinking the same during the game, he’d at least get some shots off that’s for sure.

Asked the very same question weeks ago. At least Garnacho would run the channels and constantly be a nuisance

 

[RoyH1]

We need to get a proper striker. As much as we improve our game, it means little without a proper finisher.

 

[Robertd0803]

Get in there. Was ready to utterly lose the plot after Rangers equaliser but that thankfully only lasted as long as Ally McCoist and the Rangers fans celebrations.

 

[Craig Ward]

Nothing game - really flat from both teams and painfully slow to watch.

1-0 up scares me - we have errors all over the place. We gifted Rangers chances in the first half and should have conceded, especially when the lad was through after Collyer mis controlled and got robbed.

De Ligt's goal should have counted and an earlier goal would have settled us better, but despite making chances you couldn't say we were totally dominant and in control. You could see them scoring from the 65 minute mark.

A lucky win in what should have been a very easy home game against a very very poor team who are in poor form and injury ridden.

Our issue's wont go away unless we make some signings, our wingback area in particular are shocking. Dalot is a disgrace of a LWB. He does ok, sure. Guys a trier. But he cant cross, he cant take a man on. He's not a great defender. Now i feel for him - he's doing a job in a demanding position on his weaker side. But it's tragic watching him. When he's in advanced positions and gets the ball he literally cannot wait to pass it backwards. Malacia isn't the best LWB around for sure - but he brings natural balance to that side of the pitch. For me - he's a much better option than Dalot.

Good to see Garnacho getting some love from the crowd. He's a bit of a throwback winger really - we should utilise his pace more. A proper talent but feel he is being limited in this hybrid 10 role - it doesnt suit him but he;s grafting for sure.

We over rely on Amad - painfully so. Just give him the ball and hope he produces magic every chance we get. He's being marked out of games at the moment - doubled or tripled up. Another great showing from him but he has to played as a 10 to drift around. He's our best 10 and best RWB at the moment so a tricky one for Amorin.

Thought Collyer done well - grew into the game. Good to see and gives us another option there as Casemiro is cooked and Mainoo is off the boil. Great to see.

Overall it was an ok performance - just worrying we play so slow and predictably. We make hard work of easy situations with sloppy slow lazy passes and bad decision making. Should have been an easy 2/3 - 0 victory. Yet we made life hard and bring more scrutiny on us.

First half was quite ponderous. Second was a lot more energetic. Still a lot of issues to iron out with just how poor we are sometimes with distribution and how hesitant we are to move off the ball. We always seemed a million miles away from one another but showed good resolve to win.

Eriksen had a good game I thought and was very energetic considering his age. Think we need to utilise his skills on ball more from the bench in the final quarter of games if things are not going our way more often.
