Team should have considered that before signing him I suppose.

I always thought he was overrated as hell at Everton, hoping he can prove me wrong but that will be hard if we can't feed him properly

Already turning on him pal? fecking hell get a grip. It's a glorified friendly against one of the best teams in the fecking world.

 

[christy87]

Pogba gone LWB?

looks more like we went 4 at the back, pogba left midfield

 

[GifLord]

we look so feking average at times .

 

[VeevaVee]

Pogba should've booted that. He still makes a lot of wrong decisions

 

[Kevin]

Matic looks a very good buy.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Now that we have not got the first goal, we could as well bring Martial on

 

[Camy89]

I've seen over 80's walking football with faster build up play than us.

Poor pogba

 

[M16Red]

Has been for years. I have no idea why we never improved on that over all these years. Baffling

120 mill over the past two seasons really should have helped.

 

[Escobar]

Real's fullback play looks as if they have a player more on the pitch

 

[Android1974]

Martial for lingard at half time please

That would probably mean we move to 4-3-3.

 

[Catt]

Season hasn't properly started yet and Lingard is making me want to give up and follow volleyball. Absolutely shite.

Maybe you should?

 

[JonDahl]

Good half

 

[ivaldo]

how many subs can we make? cos i would make 7!

You not watched the game since the drinks break then?

Lolwut

 

[Jazz]

Be nice to have a bit of unpredictability in our attacking play....

 

[Jed I. Knight]

Not the worst first half, except for the period where they got their goal.

Matic has been great. Worrying that we still look every bit as toothless in attack as we did for the second half of last season, but we're obviously playing a good team. Would've hoped to see us more inventive, though.

 

[Summit]

missed up until after the goal, but since I have been watching it seems fairly even. Is that how it was before the goal?

 

[AndyJ1985]

The state of this thread is 10x more embarrassing than our play, get a grip people it's the fecking supercup

What makes match threads even worse are posts like yours, where you constantly moan about the people discussing the match.

 

[kouroux]

Playing back 3 against madrid was always going to be vunrable as i mentioned.

And its not the midfeild its the philosophy. They are finding spaces behind wingbacks so all they have to do is to play tiki taka and slow the game down and find a long ball behind that space.

ball circulation is too direct and makes posession osses in high pressure.

All in all, a lot of words to avoid admitting they're much better. We're slown, sluggish and basically shit. They're better and they showed it.

 

[Escobar]

120 mill over the past two seasons really should have helped.

As should have the coaching!!

 

[cyberman]

Has DDG had anything to do other than pick the ball out of the net?
Good offside goal that it was

 

[C3Pique]

Does Bebe do our crossing training?

 

[Crimson King]

We have absolutely no width, both Lingard and Mkhi run inside every time the ball gets out there. Pogba has been out at LW more than Lingard. Frustrating.

 

[RonaldoVII]

For all the people moaning at those moaning at Lingard's selection, what has he done other than getting booked?

 

[Jippy]

I'm not watching but even I know it's not that bad. People probably being drama queens as usual in match day threads and overblowing everything negative about us while over hyping everything done by our opponents.

I'm not either but Lindelof is worse than Ralph Milne and Kleberson combined.

 

[ha_rooney]

Pogba & Herrera need to get more involved. Would like us to go 4-3-3 with Martial on for Lingard. Matic has been good.

Real are a class above us. Superb half from them.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Show some ambition in the second half please.

 

[TMDaines]

Not learnt too much so far, much the same as last season:

• We're very average at full/wing back and it shows when our attacking wide players want to cut inside.
• Our counter-attacking is very poor and hampered by poor decision making.
• Football is still undermined by officials not being helped to make the correct, key decisions. Over the summer, I've forgot the frustration of two hours being spent in vein when a match is ultimately decided by a incorrect decision.

 

[3KDré]

Yup, it's still incredibly boring watching Manchester United play.

 

[Android1974]

Darmian is very defensive. Lingard definitely not LWB. Look at his positioning. We're play a 433.



Lingard is not playing LWB. He's just been tracking Carvjhal's runs. He's in the centre of the pitch as I'm writing this post.

My god, just accept it.

 

[Irrational.]

You'd think we're losing 4-0 to Chelsea judging by some of these comments...

 

[Woodzy]

Mourinho and Ronaldo confirmed friends. It's on!

 

[Hed Zitin]

Matic looked good. After that...

Is what it is. We are simply nowhere near as good as them. Never will be anyway with these wide players.

 

[PoTMS]

Matic has been our best player. Pogba needs to get his finger out.

 

[Offside]

Matic has been great. We've done okay in midfield after a brief spell where they totally dominated and it looked like an action replay of the 2 Barca CL finals.

We have 0 cutting edge in attack. Pogba is the biggest culprit...so wasteful. Lingard is pretty useless here let's get Martial on and give them a real go second half.

lol you're talking out your ass. Any striker in the world would struggle with the service we've given him.

 

[SuperiorXI]

Still in this, RM were in complete control but have dropped off the last 10 mins.

I worry though, they still have Ronaldo to come...

 

[TrueRed79]

Pogba LWB and Herrera on the right at times. What the hell am i watching.

 

[kps88]

missed up until after the goal, but since I have been watching it seems fairly even. Is that how it was before the goal?

They stepped it up a bit before the goal. Could sense a chance was coming.
