[Hammondo]

Far from a good game from us, luckily they are worse.

 

[Dobba]

I think we have a real problem in our hands with Alexis, I mean the guy is trying but he is clearly past it. I don’t know how can we get rid of him with those wages

A sack, some bricks and the Manchester Ship Canal.

 

[KennyBurner]

Sanchez is never going to make it at United.

And you can quote me on that

Bring on Martial.

The guy no longer has a physical presence. He is truly done out here. Would have supported him more if he wasn't on such a huge contract.

 

[Amar__]

For no reason ?

Yeah, playing around with some stupid flicks for no reason, when he could do much better with simple pass.

 

[Habs]

Sanchez looks finished. Reminds me of how Rooney looked for us in the last few years, probably worse tbh

 

[Cloud7]

We started off well but feck me we fell off a cliff for the last 20 minutes or so.

Rashford hasn’t looked his usual self since he pulled up earlier, didn’t seem as dynamic after that.

We’re consistently getting beaten in the RB area......again.

 

[youmeletsfly]

Dunno why people complain about Sanchez, he was quite mobile the whole half and made a few runs. Guess that bitterness is bitterness nevertheless.

Young is a liability and Matic plays too deep, forcing Pogba to come down as well. That left mid side is unbalanced.
We really need a more mobile and faster DM and a RB.

 

[Judas]

I’ve stuck the boot in to Sanchez loads, but he’s barely gotten the ball when he’s been in promising positions, time and time again the pass to him doesn’t happen.

 

[Majima]

We're lucky to be leading at half-time. Too much coasting. Young and Lingard are trash. We're not going anywhere whilst they're starters that's for sure.

 

[Rajma]

Young annoys me so much with his aimless clearnesses when there are like 3-4 teammates standing around. This invites opposition to press us harder.

 

[Funky Futurista]

Okay first half. Young is having a shocker, needs to only be backup. Attacking play is missing that final pass, bur hopefully it'll come in the second half. Good game plan by Solskjær to limit Leicesters counter attacking threat.

 

[Smores]

My gosh. Get Dalot on for Young and Martial for Sanchez.

I think Dalot might get exposed here i don't think it's the game for him even if Young has been poor offensively

 

[acnumber9]

We have so little creativity in the team. All our attackers need oodles of space to play in. If Pogba doesn’t unlock the defence with a pass then nobody is.

 

[Sir Scott McToMinay]

We really need an upgrade on Young, he’s been shocking defensively.
Otherwise, great goal and assist, need a second goal.

 

[Fracture90]

Hopefully Rashford isn't injured, he was walking a bit weird ever since that goal .

 

[Rafaeldagold]

I think Sánchez is doing well today, some lovely touches.

 

[mav_9me]

Our goal & Maddison's corners aside, this game has been completely devoid of any quality whatsoever.

Both teams have been unbelievably bad in possession.

It's not even like both teams are pressing very well.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Young is bird shit. From eating it to morphing into it.

 

[Buster15]

Sanchez is never going to make it at United.

And you can quote me on that

Bring on Martial.

He just looks off the pace.
The game seems to be passing him by.

Generally, we are not operating at 100%.
Need to up our game in the second half as you cannot write Leicester off.

 

[Jazz]

Ashley young. The less said the better

Feel like his panicking is running through the team. Everyone seems super anxious.

 

[TMDaines]

Feels like we’re forcing a gameplan of trying to get in behind Leicester before they settle defensively. Just need to be a bit more patient instead of giving the ball away cheaply.

Rashford has barely been involved for the last 25 minutes. He is hurt and we have Lukaku and Martial as options, so make the change instead of waiting, as we did against Burnley and got punished.

 

[SAFMUTD]

A sack, some bricks and the Manchester Ship Canal.

 

[E-mal]

Very casual from us, very lackadaisical. We are so shit at taking a game by the scroff and settling it.
Young, Sanchez and Lingard are pretty shit.
Bailly is awkward and shaky.
Matic, Pogba and Rashford seem tired.
The only stable performance is from Lindelof, Shaw and Herrera I think

 

[pascell]

We allow teams into the game way too easily, we need to start turning the screw again, otherwise I can see them nicking one off a set piece. The ball needs to be moved much quicker in midfield, too many players putting their foot on the ball in transition from defence to attack.

 

[Canagel]

After strong start we went sloppy and back to losing balls.

 

[EwanI Ted]

Not bad. Started to rush the counter attacks about 20 minutes in and they got less effective, and the defending has been a bit more last ditch than it should have been given what we were up against. But overall it was fairly comfortable, with only corners looking problematic.

 

[pierrethesnack]

Sanchez has worked hard. But there's just something missing.

Agree, his attitude is super, but just isn't working for him + he isn't really used by the others when he's in a good position.

 

[tenpoless]

Young hoping the pigeon would shit itself for a tasty treat.

Please do, He played better after eating bird poo.

 

[villain]

I feel sorry for Young, due to our counter-attack Lingard/Rashford stay in the middle of the pitch meaning Young has to guard at least 2 players most of the time. Bailly can't come out and help him, and Herrera has his own man to guard too.

 

[Devil may care]

Great goal but the game got incresingly scrappy as the half went on, too many sloppy moments from both sides in possession. Matic needs to sit a bit deeper IMO, he's giving the quicker Leciester players too much space to run in behind him.

Sanchez and Young need to sharpen up, they've gotten the ball in some good areas and wasted it.

[Utdstar01]

Herrera has been our best player, actually looked assured, moved the ball forward well and kept a hold of it when he's needed to. Not sure what game most have been watching.

 

[el3mel]

Sanchez is moving pretty well. I don't know what is his problem with Rash and Lingard. Both are ignoring him completely as if he doesn't exist. I don't see that with Martial starting and actually Sanchez is putting himself in good positions for passes.

 

[Kostov]

One bad pass from Alexis and some of you can’t wait to give him slack. He’s been good this half, linking up very well.

 

[Stubble]

We need an upgrade on Young.

 

[RedIan]

Great start to the game first 15 minutes for a change..Good touch and finish from Rashford but he missed a sitter with the header before that and we should have been 2-0 up. Leicester are tasty on the break but yet to create a clear chance. Overall decent defensive performance.
Sanchez wasteful in possesion and if he doesnt improve Martial may replace him
Rashford carrying a knock but still looks are biggest threat.

 

[Fracture90]

Every corner Leicester had was from the right, Young is a serious liability .

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

Young is bird shit. From eating it to morphing into it.

Well as the saying goes you are what you eat

 

[Adisa]

Our attitude is sometimes a disgrace. These players give the ball away for fun. So lackadaisical.

 

[DavelinaJolie]

I know he's young, but may as well give Dalot more games.

 

[Crimson King]

Sanchez is coming too narrow, along with Lingard. We miss Martial because even though he probably prefers to play centrally he always wants to get on the ball, so will always come out to the left to get involved.

Looking a bit light weight up front too.

 

[redshaw]

Not sure what Young did near the end, picture is a bit blurry but it looked for all the world like he could simply control the ball while facing it but decided to do weird spin motion and give the ball away?
