If there's one thing that DVB needs to work on, it is finding space. He is constantly standing with a Villareal player between him and the ball. He will receive the ball if he can't work some space for himself.

I find it astounding that our 2 worst players, Fred and AWB are the only ones who make tackles to win the ball back.

I think we have a better shape than when we played them at OT and they tore us apart every time they attacked. Or playing out from the back is slightly better. Only slightly.

They seem to get the jitters every time Martial gets the ball. I don't think they have trained to play against him so there is that element of uncertainty.

De Gea is still terrible at coming out for crosses, but his shot blocking and one handed saves our sublime.

I think Bruno for Donny and lets have half an hour of trying to win the game as they start to tire.

 

[Martial'sEmergingSmile]

Lindelof has been our best player by far.

He's been great tonight.

 

[GifLord]

Villareal chance - Dave with a great save

 

[doomy20]

Has 1:0 Villareal written all over it

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Henderson is still better. His commanding of area and organisation skill would prevent that chance

 

[DickDastardly]

Martial has zero chemistry with Ronaldo. Its like they first met just now.

 

[redshaw]

Great save from Dave

Trouble is we're like the old days this season where we're just awful and De Gea was our man of the match and player of the season for a few years.

 

[Judas]

VDB has been nothing special whatsoever.

 

[arnie_ni]

There's a stark difference in torres on the ball ability and Maguires and by all accounts maguire is a good ball playing cb in England.

 

[MileStolar]

Let's see if we can improve on Ole's timing of subs

 

[JPRouve]

Pogba hasn't improved from the first game, he is still failing to do his defensive job.

 

[arnie_ni]

VDB has been nothing special whatsoever.

No one has.

 

[Ixion]

VDB has been nothing special whatsoever.

No one has

 

[Andycoleno9]

You must ask a question; wtf we did last 3 years on trainings?

 

[BarstoolProphet]

Martial has zero chemistry with Ronaldo. Its like they first met just now.

Martial is like that with every person. I bet he acts the same at family dinners.

 

[Bastian]

Martial has zero chemistry with Ronaldo. Its like they first met just now.

I'd classify Martial at this rate as an ex-prospect, soon-to-be journeyman footballer.

 

[KennyBurner]

Sancho keeps backing off which is annoying.

 

[Samid]

Where is the 'make a fecking sub Carrick' thread

 

[48 hours]

Please take McTominay off and leave him somewhere alongside the road.

preferably a long and winding road.

apt as we are playing the yellow submarines

 

[United Hobbit]

Not Dalot...

 

[Nogbadthebad]

De Gea probably back to his best shot stopper around level.

Not the best keeper overall, not good enough on corners and free kicks for that.

 

[Shark]

This has been unwatchable.

Coaching staff needs clearing asap. Poch kidnapped from Paris if needs be.

 

[Judas]

Lindelof has had a good game, and I don't often say that.

 

[Desert Eagle]

Bruno and Rashford coming on

 

[Sassy Colin]

This is fairly typical of our performances this season, tbf (apart from the meltdown of the past few games). I'm still backing Ronaldo to win it for us in the final minutes.

 

[lex talionis]

McStatue

 

[JPRouve]

Martial has zero chemistry with Ronaldo. Its like they first met just now.

Well they barely played actual games together.

 

[Desert Eagle]

For Sancho and Donny I'm.asumimg

 

[Maluco]

This is desperate stuff. A culmination of 3 years of abysmal coaching. Serious damage done.

 

[VidaRed]

Atleast carrick isn't making changes in the 85th min

Why the feck did ole/Carrick decide donny is best utilised so high up the pitch. I don't see how you can look at his skill set and think he would be best deployed there for us

 

[Ranchero]

VDB has been nothing special whatsoever.

That has been the case

 

[PoTMS]

No way we're getting out of this with a result.

 

[hellhunter]

For Sancho and Donny I'm.asumimg

Yeah, we can't have nice things

 

[Water Melon]

Rashford for Martial, Bruno for Scott is what we need. Villareal are really close to scoring.

 

[TheReligion]

There's a stark difference in torres on the ball ability and Maguires and by all accounts maguire is a good ball playing cb in England.

Maguire was a better defender with and without the ball in the Euros too.

Then again it was held in England.

You could be on to something.

 

[Lecland07]

I'd classify Martial at this rate as an ex-prospect, soon-to-be journeyman footballer.

Mourinho took a lot of criticism for it, but he was right about wanting to sell him. Unfortunately, we are stuck with a once promising looking player on a long contract.

Reminds me of Deli Ali a bit in his absolute decline to nothingness.

 

[Escobar]

VDB has been nothing special whatsoever.

While the rest of the team plays amazing

 

[The Boy]

This is fairly typical of our performances this season, tbf (apart from the meltdown of the past few games). I'm still backing Ronaldo to win it for us in the final minutes.

I was just about to write that this has 0-1 United with a late Ronaldo goal written all over it.

 

[kouroux]

Bissaka is a horrible player to watch. Truly abysmal
