Too afraid to conceded a pen or get a red card.De Gea didn't even look interested on the second goal.
His mind is probably already in Madrid
Not the first time either, we've had some truly miserable first halves the past 2 1/2 seasons. Where individual mistakes ruin the game at the back, yet failing to produce anything up front. We just appear unready to playI am not sure that was all about Jose.
What has that rubbish play by guys who are supposed to be professional footballers got to do with the manager in that half? Pogba out, Fellaini out, he puts in the boys on the bench and they play rubbish. Mata can't control a simple ball in the midfield. Goal. Lindelof can't clear an aerial ball. Goal.
The boys need to be slapped. Absolutely pathetic display.
Yes. We need to make 4 subs.Rashford for Mata, Mkhitaryan for Lingard and Blind for Lindelof. Lindelof should never play for the club again. As soon as we sell Lingard the better. Do not care if he is from the academy and homegrown. He is stealing a living.
We're playing like a Van gaal team, all possession no penetration, coupled with a few individual errors and picked off on the counter. It's all very de ja vu.Solid plan.
I'm sure glad they changed the rules.
Rash and Mkh on.Rashford for Mata, Mkhitaryan for Lingard and Blind for Lindelof. Lindelof should never play for the club again. As soon as we sell Lingard the better. Do not care if he is from the academy and homegrown. He is stealing a living.
I hope it's like for like. Martial has been rubbish and he is likely going to get a second yellow card if he goes on the way he has been.Rashford coming on at HT apparently. Hope to feck it's not a like for like sub for Martial and instead we go all out for this. Nothing to lose here.
Rashford for Mata, Blind for Lindelöf & Mkhitaryan for Lingard.Everytime Mason refs our games there are some shocking decisions. Stonewall pen, freekick against Lingard despite him getting pushed three times then 20 mins later exactly the same thing but in our favour...except its a drop ball wtf?
For me it's Mata off and Rashford on in the second, Mata just hasn't been at the races at all today. With Rashford on there is enough there for us.
Lindeloff is absolutely terrible, has looked shakey in every single game he's played for us.
2 up front?? Jose would rather die I suggestIt's time now to play two up front. Rashford and Lukaku with Martial staying left. Rashford will get a couple in second half.
Yep, in what world does a team stacked with average players like Lingard, Valencia, Young, Darmian, Herrera, Fellaini, Smalling win leagues and challenge for the CL. I think we are miles off personally and I reckon Jose does too.Another close season of spending...
That is the only complaint I have with Lukaku is that is does get isolated, but will not then do anything to make something happen. He cannot make something out of nothing, he just feeds of others. That is the difference between him and Kane.Absolutely nothing good right now. Terrible defending, midfield poor and atrack clueless and isolated.
Said in the week we should have just gone 3 in the midfield with McTominay. This formation with these players just doesn't work
JM would get a stroke, imagine skipping seniors to pick some kid he pulled out of reserves and on top switch to 4-3-3.Absolutely nothing good right now. Terrible defending, midfield poor and atrack clueless and isolated.

Just take Lindelof off and play with 10 men. We would probably be better off, he is a calamity.Errrr, we only have 2 subs left mate.
to get used to the pace of the EPL, it would have been a better move. At the moment, he does look a bit small to play CB, in the EPL.Of course he can play every Premier League game. And even if he couldn't Lindelöf is probably the last player I'd play instead of him.
That not needing that 4th player in pre season making Jose look like a utter fool right now.Another close season of spending...
I suggest you pop into his performances thread. And it's not "one game". More of an awakening.I'm happy for you to present a detailed analysis and comparison of the two of them side by side for me.
I was commenting on the fact whoever I replied to, was asking for 3 subs.We're playing like a Van gaal team, all possession no penetration, coupled with a couple individual errors and picked off on the counter. It's all very de ja vu.
If you're gonna leave yourself open to the counter, at least make the effort to batter the defense with numbers and runs.
This has been coming though, we've been poor since Pogba got injured, but just about managed to weather the storm to see us through.
You're not allowed to say that on here! Expect the Mouswarm to be all over you for not towing the company line!
Wasn't everyone wanting him out of the team before kick off?Get Rashford and Mkhitaryan in ASAP, get Lingard the f*ck out of the team, shouldn't even be included on the bus home to Manchester.
You honestly dont want to put yourself through this. Just do something else mate.Somebody please PM me a river so I can join in on this negativity.
Very good post.1. Lukaku is repeatedly guilty to being lazy and not making channel runs wide to alleviate pressure. A big target man central when there's no one remotely close to him is useless.
2. Because Lukaku doesn't do this it doesn't allow any space for Martial to roam central (think what Benzema does for Ronaldo, for eg.)
3. Overlapping runs don't exist. Players either don't have tactical intelligence to read the game and the run, or, as I suspect, Mourinho de-emphasises overlapping runs out of precaution.
Agreed. I can absolutely see us scoring 2 goals. With the amount of possession we are going to have and camping outside their box, we just have to get some quality in there.I can in fairness
Just need a goal and I think it’ll happen
We aren’t physically weak we just aren’t good enough. There are very few players in that starting eleven who are good passers or can keep the ball under pressure.I know people do not want to hear this , but we really miss Fellani. Physically without him we are just a push over and our lighter players do not have the quality to compensate for been so weak physically.
