Shades of the end of last season. Zero pattern to our play, just moments here and there.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I fail to see what Mata is meant to do in this setup.
Mata and Matic should not start anymore. I really hope Ole knows this.
ffs mata
Shocker from Matic today. So slow.
Matic and Mata are very slow and immobile. I really hope neither of them will start against Chelsea, we will get destroyed in transitions.
Matic's head has went out of the window after the mistake. Shame. Was very good before it.
Mata is dead.
Mata and Matic, good lord they are both slow and shit.
Matic started well but has been shocking over the last 10 - 15 mins. Our lack of midfield shows properly.
Are we actually worse than Milan? 
So this whole new way of playing lasted 10 mins 
That midfield is stiff as a board.
i really dont know why people are moaning before a kick off, i mean look at us, we flyin out there, pressing, zug zug passing, everything.
Milan chance - DDG with the save
Lindelof is having a poor game.
Daffid.
This season is looking like it may be a slog. No creativity against a team that even our partisan commentary is describing as playing at “walking pace”.
Funny you should say that. My feed is 10mins delayed and he looks superb.Matic is about 10 minutes off the pace
After losing Ander, Matic ageing badly and Pogba wanting out, Woodward has wasted the summer.
Now we are desperate.
Whoever we get in, Ole will take time to bed the player(s) in.
and better than Spurs?Are we actually worse than Milan?
You mean surrounded by two players? Never should have received the pass.
We’re awful
Did the same against wolves then Fred had 4 players pressing from all directions. I know the dm is expected to control the ball quickly and then release it but it's risky
Have the US stream now. Can put the commentary back on.
Seems like we are playing on the counter. We are just letting them dominate position
Both him and Pereira are pointless in it while Matic is just so bad these days. Need much more dynamism from them. Thankfully, wouldnt expect any of the 3 to be starters. Pogba for Matic, Lingard for Pereira/Mata, Dybala/Greenwood for the other
lucky us, unlucky them. almost a goal for milan.
I love to watch a united game where United doesn’t touch the ball.
Pre season yeh, yeh and all that but start of season isn't that far off. We are serious lacking some quality and look like just a workmanlike team.....
He will be though as we haven't replaced him.
What exactly is ole's style of play?? I dont see any difference to last year..being dominated in midfield..relying on the odd breakaway. Luke shaw scared to go forward, martial swanning about...without pogba we have zero creativity
Get the kids on.
Same as last season. We needed creative players in midfield and attack, and we didn't get any.
I thought he said he is faster then Shaw?
It's a pre season friendly.
Milan is completely controlling the game.
Matic's passing & reading of the game are stil there but he's so slow now. That's why we needed to replace him this summer. And that's nothing new; we already knew that from last season but we'll keep ignoring that.
A milan who are weeks behind in preparation tooAre we actually worse than Milan?
Bloody hell, I saw your post, and then, minute later I saw it on my stream
Is it HT already?
I will not be as bad of course but the team we play against will also be a lot better than AC Milan. I don't see more than a struggle next Sunday. But that's just my opinion.
