I suffer delusions of grandeur
Gutted with that
Have to agree with thisI just want to see us as a proper attacking unit, we've got more than enough players of true quality to achieve it, and yet we look nothing like that. We're pathetically defensive. It's pretty shameful, especially against this level of opposition.
thank you for this.Are you taking the piss?
And that’s 100% on the coaching staff.I just want to see us as a proper attacking unit, we've got more than enough players of true quality to achieve it, and yet we look nothing like that. We're pathetically defensive. It's pretty shameful, especially against this level of opposition.
Sir Alex wasn't afraid of dropping players even if they played well!The best teams in the world can play badly and still win. Plenty of times under Sir Alex we were dreadful but got the result we needed. This current Man Utd needs to be absolutely firing to get anything from a game. Its a sign of our level. We're pretty much where Liverpool were 10-20 years ago. Capable of great things when everything's going for us, horrifying when its not.
Just when we all need a lift with the covid sh!t, we've actually gone massively backwards this season.Yeah, the only positive I can see is I haven’t wasted my time and money driving up and down the M6 to watch that performance.
So true.I remember someone saying he plays like he's trying to impress a girl he fancies. Best description I've seen to be honest.
I mean you might be right. But we lost because Arsenal had tactics we couldn't work our way past. High press is hard to beat. You have to pass well.Though I agree on the team sheet being wrong, dont agree about Keane. He is right regarding leaders, attitude and rolling your sleeeves up with so many of these players who are just so inconsistent
Bang on, we werent masterful against Leipzig, they were the better side until the goal and then capitulated. We were poot against Newcastle as well until the last 5minutesThe space appeared because we were 1-0 up (lucky enough), otherwise they would not put their back line in the middle of the pitch. People saw the 5-0, no focus on our woeful performance before the last flurry of fun. Same with Newcastle really. As an attacking team against decent opposition, the manager is far away from being the right fit.
To be fair...there is some truth to that, and you can't blame Pogba in entirety at all.If Arsenal was more clinical, they could have won by 3 or 4 goals. You can’t blame Pogba, when Arsenal was superior throughout the game...away from home.
Agree with nearly all of this. Fred and Mctominay at home together has to stop.Fuming. A game that 30 mins in and its glaringly obvious that what we are trying to do isn’t working.
OGS doesn’t make suitable changes at half time. Still, after a further 25 mins of tumescent football no progressive changes are made.
It took him at least 15 mins of second half to decide Matic for Fred!....Really
Restored to Matic diving for a penalty, Maguire diving for a penalty. Seriously. It’s pathetic.
Arsenal with Elneny in midfield dominated us in the middle of the park. Elneny.
Fred, Matic, McTominay aren’t good enough if we’re honest. Sure they can press and destroy but utterly clueless with the ball at their feet. Not helped by Pogba being woeful, Bruno being woeful.
And when we’re chasing a goal, he takes Greenwood off.
Surely a front 3 of Rashford, Cavani, Greenwood would have been a better option.
I’m not OGS out. Far from it. I think he’s building a decent squad and his man management appears to be fine. He really struggles with in game management. Like he has a plan (including subs) and regardless of how the game plays out he sticks to that plan
Never his faultI can't believe we basically spent the same amount on VdB as Arsenal did on Partey, only to not play him while Pogba prances around for 90 minutes and ultimately costs us the game. Again.
The penny has finally dropped with a lot of us about Pogba.To be fair...there is some truth to that, and you can't blame Pogba in entirety at all.
But he is supposed to be a senior player...with world class ability.
He should be part of the improvement. He should be part of the influence of leaders.
Is he feck.
Weird how he has been so good before arriving in the air n the opposition box isnt it, yet here I only remember one occasion he hasnt been poorWaiting until the 80th minute before you start playing is never a recipe for success, and we do this game after game it seems. That drive shown during the last fifteen minutes, that should be the case all along. Arsenal was at it from start, they deserved no less than three points from this. Why do we need to be on the brink of failure before our players wake up?
Also, Pogba. I still don't get him, what the point of him is and to be honest I doubt he does as well. And Maguire needs to practice his headers. He's incredibly bad at it considering how often he does it. If he could hit a barn from point blank, we'd have an additional eight to ten goals since his arrival.
Sure I posted something earlier that it is three since the restart.Curious to know how many penalties Pogba has given away in his time at United. I feel like I've seen him give do this exact foul in the box 2 or 3 times at this point. So sloppy.
Ole got it wrong today but I think it also highlighted the need for quality wide players. With the players at our disposal, we pretty much had to play very centrally. We made it so easy for Arsenal to defend against as they knew there was no threat coming from the wings so they could just plug the spaces in the middle and watch us passively pass it side to side. We desperately needed a win today, we're starting to slip further away now as Chelsea, City, Liverpool and Arsenal are all starting to find consistency. The league form is very very worrying indeed.
Yep, that is true. If we don't score early, we are in a very difficult position.The space appeared because we were 1-0 up (lucky enough), otherwise they would not put their back line in the middle of the pitch. People saw the 5-0, no focus on our woeful performance before the last flurry of fun. Same with Newcastle really. As an attacking team against decent opposition, the manager is far away from being the right fit.
Just write this season off mate, and enjoy any rare highlights when they arrive.We are currently in 15th place.
If we win our game in hand we might be able to get 13th.
We are currently stuck in the lower half of the table.
I mean it’s bad but it’s 7 games in...We are currently in 15th place.

True.Other than the penalty Utd were in total control of that game.
That an accurate way of rounding him upI remember someone saying he plays like he's trying to impress a girl he fancies. Best description I've seen to be honest.
Agree with you, but so many sides are now playing a high press and so many other sides in the premiership have been able to adapt to it far better than we have. I have been impressed with several sides far far weaker than us this season in the premiership playing out from the back, we simply are unable to it seemsI mean you might be right. But we lost because Arsenal had tactics we couldn't work our way past. High press is hard to beat. You have to pass well.
We have Everton next away and Southampton away at the end of the month, if Everton have their injured players back we could be in trouble. We have WBA in between which could either be another disaster or Ole's saviour.I mean it’s bad but it’s 7 games in...
