With the benefit of hindsight Shaw should have played.
He is, but he's held the ball up well and his distribution's been very good.Sounds like he is feeding off scraps again.
How can the right side get involved when every time Mata gets the ball on the right he comes inside and congests the already congested area. He is too slow to get away from any player. Get Fellaini on and put Lingaard on the right or even Rashford. Or Shaw on the left, Young on the right and push Valencia up on the right instead of Mata and Fellaini for Mata.Should be transitioning the ball more from left to right but the ball is just going one way which makes it an easy job for Burnley to defend against. To be fair that's what they want, they funnel the ball out wide. If Young crosses the ball then they are happy.
Need to get the right side more involved and to do that we need to get the ball out right. Not that complicated. I expect us to do better in the 2nd half.
Probably the only moving around in this tactic.Messe back to being regular Jesse, I see his great run is well and truly over
It is either ecstacy or the deepest depression.Ahh, this thread never fails to cheer me up!

Endlessly.Has anyone mentioned how imperious Smalling looked yet?
Mata is constantly moving and looking for space. He's been more involved on the left than Lingard has and he's been open plenty of times out wide.How can the right side get involved when every time Mata gets the ball on the right he comes inside and congests the already congested area.

If we only had a time machine and could go back to 2010.We can win this if Young manages some inventive on the flank
This is the problem with Mata. It is not his space that he is encroaching. He should not be looking for space in others players space. He is playing on the right and he needs to stretch the defence by taking away from the play the opposing player who is trying to mark him. Not bringing him inside into an already congested area and making it more congested and not giving our players any space.Mata is constantly moving and looking for space. He's been more involved on the left than Lingard has and he's been open plenty of times out wide.
