Apart from the first half vs City, every game I watch of United I end up complaining about how bad we are at passing the ball. Generally speaking these symptoms happen nearly every game;
- Too many touches .- Players taking 3/4/5 touches only to make a pass they should have made with their second touch. Maguire is one of the biggest culprits of this.
- Momentum Killing - This happens when we put together 3 or 4 passes and then on he 5th, the ball goes all the way back so we have to start again. What makes this bad is theres usually an open pass forward that gets ignored. A Jesse Lingard special.
- Lacking Direction/Power - This is when a player who is on the ball makes a pass to a teammate that forces them to either change direction or wait for the ball because it's not in their path. I feel our players don't care how the receiver gets the ball as long as it gets there. This ties to the momentum killing point above. Luke Shaw loves this.
