ThisI wouldnt mind seeing Young switch to the right and Mata come off with Pereira playing on the left.

Yep, needless touch and he looks way off pace. Even after he took the touch, should have just poked it in but was waiting for God knows what. Looks sluggish.We got the goal, but I wonder why Rooney didn't smash that first time?
Wondered that too
Why doesnt Valdes even have the United suit.
Better than Schneiderlin for sure.What??? Carrick has been our best player in the middle. Take him off and we'll collapse!
In a way that is his problem. He needs to stay up front, but cannot resist wandering about. He got his own way again.Really think Rooney has done well but he is dropping too deep for our only striker
Its like every time we find something that kind of works, its changed lol.The worst 442 I've ever seen. Slow, static, shit.
What have we been doing the whole summer I really don't know.
Walker has been very good too. Young has given them lots of problems on that side.Is rarely being able to get past your man stand out?

Indeed.We are playing 4-4-2...which only works with a solid ball winner and fast attacking wingers.
We need to dominate midfield more.
Menphis had a side foot shot blocked by a defender which was on target.0 shots on goal. 0
Then Herrera might be the better option at #10Mata will get thrown around even more in the middle. Not sure whether he deserves a place in the team.
There you go!Postives from the first half.
Darmian
Sexy kit
Result
Clean shit
Negatives.
Slow build up
Sloppy passing
Under 21 squad thing? Funny pic, 3 keepers, 3 leaving the club.

He gets a continuing starting role and a new 3 year contract while the likes of januzaj and lingard can't even make the bench.Is rarely being able to get past your man stand out?
Looks sluggish to me, off pace. fecked up the goal too.Think the Rooney critcism is harsh. His movement has been good, he is link up play has looked promising if rusty. Case in point the curling cross from deep aimed toward Memphis.
Starting to feel more confident about him leading the line this season. Its easy to forget how good he can be as lone striker.
He's won the ball for us about 8 times after losing it for us god knows how many times? If we wanted a brute ball winner who is bad on the ball, we could find loads of those. He needs to step up and be tidier in possession because its not good enough right nowCan't believe criticism of Schneiderlin, exactly what we need in the middle of park, physicality. Also has won the ball about 8 times. He's gonna be immense for us.
Overall, much better after the goal but we need to be much more aggressive. Definite pre-season feel to it.
no idea why you think this is 442Its like every time we find something that kind of works, its changed lol.
Yeah, this. He's been creating every move going forward. His passes to the wide positions have been immense. Herrera should be coming on for Young, and Memphis pushed out wide, with Herrera linking midfield to attack.What??? Carrick has been our best player in the middle. Take him off and we'll collapse!
He must have missed suit day with the U21s.

He seems scared a cop will run onto the pitch and arrest him, hiding a shady past that guy.Romero's mistakes followed by this facial expressions have been the bright spark of the game so far.
They're probably having a good laugh at Romero's nerves.

I like it, but all 4 of them are not going to happenKane, Pedro, Oblak and Ramos is the only way we're winning the league this year.
White text - but it's true!
Twice Hoddle has slipped and said "We" meaning spursI can't wait for Michael Owen's insights during the second half.
"I've always said that it's a game played with a bouncy thing that's like a circle but in 3D."
"He's not scored there when he's tried to score which is what he is paid to do usually - to score, that is."
"Hoddle's gone off on one again".
I remember other instances in the first 20-25 min on the wings and in midfield. Not crucial dispossessions, but it's frustrating to watch.Really, I can't remember too many. I remember him getting fouled, and therefore losing one ball, but I can't remember any others (my stream was out for the first 5 minutes, so that could be it.)
edit: just saw a highlight of one such instance, leading to a shot - happened before I got my stream running. Any others?
i think he plays thier to add some pace and penetration to the team through the middle cos weve been a bit static thier in recent years,Depay needs to go out wide.
Mata in central.
Pedro in for Young.
Herrera in for Schneiderlin or Carrick.
