    The accuracy of our progressive passing is breathtakingly atrocious. Its makes it so easy for defensive teams to play against. Not having a striker doesn't help but I'm flabbergasted that Rashford didn't swap wings with Garnacho. Not sure we can do much from bench so it's going to be same going sec half.

    Well look, on the plus side, we can't possibly be that poor again in the second half.

    We're all over them, honestly. Just lacking the quality.

    Switch Rashford for Garnacho and give Ayling more of a test.

    The game is a bit open though, we need to level up sharpish or we could be in trouble.

    Id switch Garnacho for Sancho - nothing is coming off for Nacho.

    Again Wout gettin no service - just need to calm it down a notch.
    Game is there for us - but we are missing Cas and Eriksen

    Wow, that was bad. We turned up expecting an easy night and a stroll but we’ve been outfought and Leeds are decent value for their lead.

    Incredible Lack of quality in the final 3rd and we look lost in CM too, Varane and Martinez have no pass on and we just keep going back to DDG.

    Wegorst has had no service at all, he’s being criticised but we’ve not brought him into the game, the whole forward line have been anonymous.

    Massive reset needed at the break, this is where EtH needs to earn his money.

    One thing thats clear now, not that anyone was in doubt is Casemiro being out most important player.

    The one who holds it all together. Literally the keymaster and gatekeeper in one.

    Why have we not got our most in form player playing where he’s been playing well? It’s fecking weird
    Agreed. Why not put Garnacho on the right if you really must play him after subbing him as a sub?

    Rashford is playing RW because Sancho is not match fit. Garnacho never played RW and must be reason for that.

    I just don't think anything can be done about it in current circumstances.

    Weghorst, our striker, offers so little going forward. We could have gotten Chris Wood instead, for real. Doesn’t even seem to be a threat in the air, let alone with the ball at his feet.

    Leeds been good, well organized and always a threat going forward with their pace and power. Kudos to them but we should be thrashing this team.

    Garnacho has been very poor, wasted our best opportunities, and has given the ball away a lot more, doesn't look like his night.

    Still, we need to keep the pressure on and hope Leeds tire - the danger is that they've been playing in second gear for so long that they have the energy to keep up this cup-final approach for the full 90.

    Weghorst is surely our Moyes version of a striker. Completely out of his depth here.

    Rashford on the right is barely in the game. Should be on the left. He's our most dangerous player and we should cater to him. Garnacho can play on the right.

    We've seen Garnacho with Rashford in the middle link up sensationally this season. We need to do that sooner than later in the second half if nothing happens

    Shame none of the Garnacho chances fell to Rashford, we’d be level or in front by now.

    Mind you, Rashford and Wout both been close to invisible so far.

    Aggy little cnuts aren’t they. Switch Rashford left and we should have enough to win this if we’ve got enough composure.

    Poor start but we've dominated most of the half. Plenty of space on the left but Garnacho has been wasteful, he's good but very wasteful. Rashford would've impacted the game more. Dalot and Bruno were at fault for the goal but Bruno has created some excellent chances since, Dalot on the other hand almost cost us another goal.

    WW didn't do anything good or bad, he's pretty much just a work horse and nothing else.

    We need to bring in Sancho for WW. Hopefully we'll win this.

    Too frantic, we are lacking composure and playing panic football. Passing is all over the place.
    mainoo my provide some composure in midfield If we dont improve. Sancho on for weghorst and Rashford central.

    Weghorst is rank average. I don't know why ETH is fascinated with him.

    Should have gotten someone else in.

    For all the shit Antony gets in almost every thread, the right hand side of our attack just doesn't exist without him.
    Wouldn’t be a problem if Garnacho wasn’t in Ayling’s pocket. Surprised they didn’t rotate somewhat just to give a different look.

    Rashford on the right, when exactly will we learn. Or when will he learn how to not be totally useless there.

    Get Weghorst off. Rashford up top. Sancho on.

    Incredibly frustrating first half.

    Seriously lacking fight in first 15mins, but we came into it, despite having Rashford anonymous AGAIN.

    Wieghorst is a cart horse and Garnacho far too weak but still the best of the 3.

    Goes to show what little squad depth we have. Need to beat these time-wasting cnuts

    There will be no easy game without casemiro

    In fairness Weghorst is shit but he's what we have right now, plays like he's got kettle bells strapped to his knees.
