    Pereira is not good enough to be honest.
    I was hopeful he would be a good squad player but he is not good enough. Might be harsh off the back of just 2-3 games but you can see he has no awareness of players and options around him. For a midfield player that's just not on.

    Suprised so many here have been singling out Sanchez. Feel he's been better than the others upfront.

    Plenty of chances and Shaw should have blasted the ball instead of a 50 / 50 pass into the 6yd box. Hey ho.
    disagree. If lukaku gives rash a shout thats a 90 percent chance of a goal with him having a clear prime chance. Although i do love watching shaw blast a shot he has a cannon.

    Lukaku has been fine of late. Rashford can be just as frustrating when being bullied off players or when he's too wasteful. Lukaku has annoying heavy touches but overall both are very good strikers. This caf just loves to focus on making a top level striker sound like Benteke.
    He's had one ok game, still fraught with mistakes. Rashford has been rushed back from injury and has been excellent before it. It's not just the caf making a meal of what Lukaku does.

    Is the commentator David Rae?
    I do hope we win, not just because I’m a United fan, but because it’ll make the **** flaccid.

    Andreas isn't good enough at all. Needs to go.

    We need to sort out our home form, it's been trash for 5 years now. Started with all the home defeats under Moyes, then all the 0-0 draws under LVG and Mourinho, it's damaged the players mentality when it comes to playing at home. For all their flaws if this was Arsenal you'd be under no doubt they'd turn it around and win
    I said that the other day to you...

    Right hand side is awful. Young repeatedly giving the ball away. And we’re struggling to build up from the back.

    Might be worth sticking Pogba a little deeper to feed the ball into the front 3.

    Not looking forward for second half. My nerves will not react well on that. We need 2 fecking goals. They defend well, will waste time...

    We need to win this game to have a chance at top 4. Arsenal and Chelsea both getting back into form makes this result crucial.

    I don’t understand why McTominay is starting. The guy is dog shit. He should never start for us. He’s shown absolutely nothing, he would be lucky to get in championship team

    For some reason we just don't play well at home. Complacency. Also I don't like the way we always play in the air, just keep it on the ground for sake.

    whenever a keeper starts to level up exponentially into a god....we just need to injure him asap in the game (no shame that I'm a Michael Owen Mark 2 here..none whatsoever). start putting balls in and putting men into him. we should have these teams frightened here.

    fecking Heaton, Gunn, who else...or is every PL GK just that good :D

    Frustrating. Missing two thirds of our midfield and attack isn't helpful, but we're still creating chances. I feel like one goal could easily become three.

    Lindelof didnt win the ball at all that half. Not a tackle, interception, clearance, header, block or even a foul to stop an attack. Thats a strange accomplishment from a CB.

    On the other hand he had 100% pass completion.

    And didn't give away a penalty like Smalling probably should have, or Young later on.
    Despite the posturing, they're barely troubled our centrebacks backs. Their 2 shots on target were both from range.

    Maybe. Why does it bother you, mate? It's a fact and answer to that thread.
    It's an opinion, not a fact.

    We're losing to a breakaway excellent strike, and are being outrun in the middle of the pitch.
    I'm wondering which of those two elements Fellaini would fix.

    We should have started with young Garner. Looks far more composed than some of our players.

    Such a shame about our injuries. Martial, Lingard, Matic and Herrera start today and we cruise.

    Deservedly behind. We could've given away a couple of penalties and our play has been poor after about five minutes. Our finishing has been equally pathetic.

    So many bad performances its probably not worth even singling players out. Pogba is really suffering without Ander Herrera.
    Without Martial, Matic, Lingard and Herrera *

    And with Sanchez nullifying him

    Herrera is the guy suffering without only Pogba as we saw last season during the 2 months he was out ;)

    So please I know that Herrera is a lot of the fans favorite but don't say stupid thing.

    Why are people singling out Sanchez? I'm one of his staunchest critics but you'd have to be blind or deluded to single him out today. He's been one of our better players. Rashford, on the other hand..
