Stoke City 1:1 Manchester United

Post-match discussion


Thu, 01 January 2015

Too slow, no penetration, lacked creativity. Second half was very poor.

Strange subs again.
 
Smalling was solid, Shaw was alright but didn't seem fit for 90 minutes, the rest of the team was garbage.
 
3 points from Villa, Spurs and Stoke away is a dreadful return.
 
Baffling amount of long balls no matter from where, defence or midfield. How stupid you have to be to play so many long balls against a fecking NBA team in a bloody toilet of a stadium where air seems to be circulating as fast as Katrina.
 
Bad enough that I set my alarm clock for this, hungover as shit and struggling to keep a chicken roll down and then I've to try and put up with this shit? fecking hell.. 10 away games, 6 draws, 2 losses...
 
All this talk of the goal being to win the league from the manager and players, yet no urgency shown when we're drawing away to Stoke.
 
You know when you watch a good game and time just flies by? That game felt like it went on for 5 hours.
 
Unlucky to have lunch time kick offs on boxing day and new years day and both being away games.

Didn't do enough to win it in the end though, mistake to bring on Januzaj.
 
Lame. Didn't deserve a win.

What a completely boring team that was. So little quality on show. Another scrappy second half.

I'm begging for someone who can take people on. Inject some pace in this slow ass team.
 
We started the second half with the defensive 3 passing between themselves for about a minute and that summed it up. Too slow. Evans is too weak. Too much negativity. No passion. Got what we deserved. Sick and tired of this slow bullshit.
 
The windy condition doesn't help.

Fellaini would be useful here with the constant long balls & rough housing from Stoke.

Januzaj shows us why he isn't getting more chances.

We are in no way capable of challenging for the title this year.
 
Another crap performance. Stoke could have won that. We've really missed up this Christmas period. Six points out of a possible twelve and have given the chance to Arsenal and Liverpool to close the gap. Top 4 no guarantee. United aren't a great side.
 
Val Gaal's poor substitutions probably cost us the game. We were on top of them until those pointless unexplainable subs.
Really struggling in general away from home at the moment, need to fix that before it becomes a hindrance.
 
Reasonable result.
Shame about Young.
Neither Hererra or Januszaj were good when they came on. Rafael did OK.

Match day thread was hilarious. I reckon a lot of newbies were experiencing their first ever hangovers.
 
Rubbish away performance again, battled well after going a goal down but that's the only positive. Need to start turning these draws in to wins if we want to challenge for anything.
 
What's with the slow awful passing which ends up with our CBs launching it forward, that too against a team like Stoke. This is as awful as the games we played under Moyes.
 
Not bloody good enough, honestly looked like a Moyes performance from top to bottom. We will struggle to get into the top 4 if we keep up with these shambolic displays away from home (exception being Spurs)
 
Baffling amount of long balls no matter from where, defence or midfield. How stupid you have to be to play so many long balls against a fecking NBA team in a bloody toilet of a stadium where air seems to be circulating as fast as Katrina.
Yes. It was so frustrating to watch.
 
I hope this kills any talk of finishing in the top - because we have no bloody change in hell.
Pathetic away performance YET AGAIN. Where is this so called fecking philosophy when we play away??

Arsenal are now 4 points behind with a game in hand. We have a real battle for 4th place, no doubt about that.

3 points from 10 men villa, spurs and stoke away is shit.

Slow build up, low tempo, wrong subs - EVERY feckING GAME!!!!!
 
Fecking abysmal 2nd half. And some people actually said United already locked in top 3 :lol:.
