    Our press, and our possession play, have both gotten a lot more coordinated for the last 10 minutes or so of the half.

    Edit: as soon as I said that Garnacho just passes the ball away

    Brilliant by Licha. I hate to say it but Garnacho needs to be subbed at half time. Lucky not to have cost us a goal there

    The halftime adjustment is obvious. Sancho on for Garnacho, with Rashford going back to his optimal role.

    If Sancho had played like Garnacho in this half he would have been crucified on here
    Garnacho is getting crucified too. Have you even been reading the thread? Also, Sancho has had plenty of performances like the one Garnacho is currently having and deserved the criticism. If you play like shit, that tends to happen. Considering Sancho cost us 73m, why shouldnt he be scrunitized more heavily than an 18 year old?

    It’s man (Semedo) vs boy (Garnacho) at the moment.
    No, this is more on Garnacho than anything Semedo has done. Garnacho isn't being bullied, he's just being crap, passing straight into opponents, overrunning the ball, running into avenues.

    What's up with Garnacho? Is it nerves? Never seen him play worse than tonight.

    The doesn't want to be possession based team though so those players fit his vision. You don't buy Mount to play with Bruno if you want to keep the ball and build up slowly in a controlled fashion
    They why buy Mount when Bruno is better? If they can't play together what's the point in buying worse players to play a different system?

    True but he's invaluable in possession. The problem is we've lost his quality and there's no one there to pick up the slack
    Also signed the wrong player to remove his influence in the team. You can see what the manager want's to do but the lack of technical quality of the players won't permit it to function.

    Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

    We are toothless, doesn't feel fair to expect a young player who only scored a handful of goals last year to be the solution.

    players can be criticised for having poor performances without this "scapegoat" thing. Don't be disingenuous please.
    True but I'm just making light of what's now becoming a United fan tradition.
