Bad choice of pass from De Gea, bad control and awareness from Matic.
Can't have any of that if we are to challenge for the title in the future, a new DM is needed for sure.
No shocker, I know.

Zombie nation is appropriate. Defenders just stumbling around ball watching.

I say it so much I’m begging to think I have an agenda but honestly any expectations are on hold so long as Matic is playing for us.

This might be why de gea never likes to play out from the back. Matic couldn’t control an easy pass which led to the goal. We are going to be the same as last season if we do t find a dm that can pass out from the back. We’re the only top tier team that can’t play out from the back naturally. Even Milan are doing a much better job than us.

So far I have seen no reason why we keep Matic and Mata in the side. I have repeatedly been saying that instead of a striker we need to replace Matic and Mata and then a defender.

With Dybala, Rashford and Martial I think Ole will almost sacrifice RW for a player such as Pereira/Lingard/James that are happy to dig in and press.
Agreed. Don’t think we’ll invest in the RW position this summer but that has to be done going forward, honestly lacking in options there.

Matic is so fecking poor. That's why DDG is hesitant to play the ball out to him. We need a player who has a better turning circle than a bus picking the ball up there.

Matic mistake led to that if I'm not mistaken. He's finished. Hopefully he's just in the shop window in these preseason games.
