Get Rashford on for Lingard. We need more speed and quality.
Do what I do, use it as an opportunity to put the moaners on ignore. It's a pretty good forum if you can avoid the 10% of moaning morons who post constant crap.
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.
Big difference is the defenders. Ours are all good/great on the ball. Yours don't know what to do and treat the ball as if it's made of lavaThey look fitter also and more adapted to the climate than us.
Who the feck did we play last season remotely close to this Madrid team? We're doing well, not being outclassed, or being thrashed as many in here would have you believe. We need a winger though, yes.Literally a repeat of last season so far. No urgency going forward. Why the feck have we not bought a winger yet, we desperately need service from the left. Darmian doesn't provide anything going forward either.
Why is Lingard not staying on the left then?My god, just accept it.
I know, but surely one of them has the awareness to realise when they need to stay out there and create space in the middle?Which is why he desperately wanted Perisic because he is a disciplined winger.
Its baffling we haven't bought a LB.Darmian is still shit then I see.
Press them in midfield? Modric, Kroos then Isco would walk around the midfield. They're really, really fecking good. United can press and win the ball back, but where will they pass it to because when you're pressing you're out of position and not a clue where your passing lanes are once you get the ball back.I might get criticized for this but Mourinho is just been negative. Too much respect for real madrid from our part.
We should press them in midfield and play a bit higher up the pitch.
Also bring on Martial or rashford to run at their defence.
Sad really, because it seems like Mour has just given up on the middle part of utd, David is just kicking right over the top to the striker and one is within 50 yards of him.As should have the coaching!!
He has.Matic has been far and away our best player so far.
You could see after about 15 minutes that we were struggling. Madrid were getting all the 50/50 balls.Encouraged by this showing. I think the heat is definitely a factor, potentially for both sides, although Madrid are the more efficient team in possession. Why we're playing somewhere where the conditions aren't ideal I don't really know, but i guess money. Ruins the intensity of the game, but hopefully will condition the players better for the weekend.
First ten there were some excellent link ups and we looked genuinely threatening, then Real's quality pushed us into our own half. Isco's a bit good. We've shown a little at the end of the half.
We're only a bullshitgoal away from being level.
They're not mutually exclusiveMkhi's been disappointing but not awful. Darmian needs to take more initiative on the ball, he doesn't seem to have any other intentions apart from knocking it to the nearest teammate. Valencia's got into some good positions but his delivery is lacking.
Good post. He can be brainless at times.Pogba is not a rational player. He doesn't do the simple things. It's the same reason he can play a pass over 60 yards perfectly using the outside of his weaker foot, but if you asked him to pass the ball 4 yards, he crumbles under the pressure.
Except our shape for the first half was 3-5-2.3 men midfields routinely cover wide positions when not in possession
I think we are playing 3-5-2My first half observations
- What formation are we actually playing?
- Matic looks very solid
- Lingard is way out of his depth tonight
- Pogba looks asif hes always holding something back, world beater at times then average!
- Iscos performance could see Bale leave! The man is incredible
- Rashford and/or Martial please
What an embarrassing post. How old are you btw?#PileOfPogShit
