[Yorkeontop]

Well look, that was pretty shocking. On the plus side, Dave looks like a keeper again. So that's good, right?

Sure does help he's not a money hole.

 

[BorisManUtd]

Well that was awful unless there's a change in our game we're losing tonight and then our chances to go through become very slim imo.

 

[jamesjimmybyrondean]

De Gea

 

[DarkXaero]

No Fred to blame this time.

 

[mav_9me]

It's coaching instructions for him to drift out of position and don't defend?

I think its coaching instructions to play closer to Bruno and Ronaldo, which has taken him out of the game when we have the ball. Without the ball, him not being involved is on him.

 

[eire-red]

A lot of blustering about, but not a lot of substance at all. Big second half here.

 

[Bristol_Red_87]

Yellow shirts walking through "challenges". Absolutely pathetic.

 

[SirAnderson]

Wow, I'm usually an optimist but geez so hard to watch this. We have one of the best squads post Fergie and this is currently the best we can do...hurts to see.

 

[tomaldinho1]

Update.

Apart from their ten chances..

been pretty even.

DDG has genuinely made what 5 top drawer saves? It might be more. I'm appalled. Second half at minimum we can put them under some pressure and keep the ball.

 

[RoadTrip]

That was truly diabolical.

If the performance doesn't drastically improve in the second half, You might say Ole has lost the dressing room.

I don’t think its about the dressing room. For me it’s not a lack of effort. We just have no organisation in central midfield and defence. It’s a complete shambles.

 

[United Hobbit]

If they could finish and made better decisions we'd be on the end of a spanking

I know we've a 2nd choice defence but still....

The lack of composure is becoming worse, we show no signs of coaching it's pathetic

 

[Cloud7]

We need Matic on. Get McT off and put on skillful grandpa

This made me laugh more than it should have

 

[Dudu]

De Gea amazing. Lucky not to be losing. Badly missing Shaw and Wan Bissaka.. Dalot skinned alive all half.

Wake up lads. Need a response 2nd half.

 

[FreakyJim]

Bruno's been absolutely pathetic with the shouting. He hasn't put a foot right this half and has the nerve to accuse other players.

 

[Nick7]

One of Pogba or Bruno needs to come off to be replaced by a midfielder.

 

[Dec9003]

I can’t keep watching us play like this its pathetic. I don’t mind winning or losing a match, but we’re just feckin boring. International break after the weekend time for a change.

 

[Volumiza]

Bloody hell that was bad. Yet another disjointed display. What actually goes on in training?

 

[Deery]

Hate to say it but needs to go 4-2-3-1

 

[mancan92]

It's coaching instructions for him to drift out of position and don't defend?

Yes clearly he has been told to push up to add numbers. That is obvious. It is not every match that you see him making runs in behind. But clearly he has been told to be an extra body

 

[JPRouve]

My grandma could dribble past this front 6.

Is she available on January 2nd?

 

[Heinzesight]

Do you know what is really sad?

The performance isn’t even a shock.

Cavani has to be brought on, at least for some urgency and some fecking bite.

 

[VidaRed]

Matic on, Mason off and protect that fecking back 4

Yeah, lets bring off ronaldo and bruno aswell and bring on fred and bailly. That'll show them yellow twats!

 

[VivaRonaldo85]

We are absolute garbage at OT.

I agree. I often think under Ole in particular we look a much better side away from OT.

 

[tidraKS]

Is Ronaldo a passenger here? How many km has he done in the first half. He was just watching the game ffs. Nobody runs in the team except Bruno. McT is not a DM.

 

[Toddler]

Only positive is that Sancho is playing pretty well.

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

Looking forward to spending another 100-200m next summer. I’m sure that will fix everything.

Would a top class manager really cost that much?

 

[Kopral Jono]

Awful first half.

 

[ghagua]

Villareal should already have put this game to rest with some better finishing. We don't create this many chances in a month.

 

[mav_9me]

It's not really a 4-3-3, Bruno and Pogba are totally detached from McTominay.

As I and others have said its 4-1-5.

 

[My only Eric]

Bring on Cavani and go two at the front. Better that than crossing to one person who's surrounded by 5 defenders.

 

[E-mal]

I hate Emery's football, something just seems a bit shit. Ours isn't nowt to rave over either like but every game I see him manage turns into a shitfest, atleast some of ours are a bit of fun.

Go to bed please. They have dominated us, by far the superior team.

 

[Trophy Room]

Kamikaze. I’ve enjoyed the half. A team with better finishing would have destroyed us.

 

[Summit]

FFS. That was brutal

Either we look completely different in 2nd half or Ole is toast

Fuming

Wait, you think Ole would be sacked if we don't win this?

 

[jamesjimmybyrondean]

We will win this game. Villareal should have taken their chances. Too late. Let's gooo

 

[Ixion]

They played better than us in the Europa League final and Emery is outclassing Ole again. Hopefully we nick one and they get deflated from the missed chances.

 

[chiz2kul]

Why is Bruno shouting at Sancho, he was surrounded by 5 players? Bruno's been the worst player on the pitch bar Dalot. What a captain

This is what drives me nuts about him. He does this often. He's had his own run of crap games, yet shouting at a player thats possibly low on confidence and actually trying real hard. Embarrassing look.

 

[Marwood]

Awesome from De Gea but at some point our lot need to compete in the one on one situations. Pogba and Bruno just can't defend. Dalot might be the worst defender I've seen at this level. He hasn't got a clue.

 

[Kaos]

Dreaful half and if not for De Gea we could have easily been 3-0 down.

 

[BusbyMalone]

We could literally be coming out of that half being 4-0 down!

 

[SirAnderson]

Bruno's been absolutely pathetic with the shouting. He hasn't put a foot right this half and has the nerve to accuse other players.

Guess we watching different matches. I think he has been trying more than most on the pitch, even defensively.
