Its not just shots its also chances. We've literally sat back and let them go at us.The number of shots we concede a game is ridiculous.

It's strange because that xG number thingy shows that West Ham have scored over one goal and yet the scoreline makes it seem like they're losing the match...
To be fair their chances are mostly from set pieces, but im more concerned about ours!xG is nothing to rely on. Stats can be so deceiving and are no answers. It is enough to watch games and make a statement based on what you see.
Yeah, we definitely need to play better this half.Winning at half time is good, the rest is not that good
West Ham 13 shots to our 4 is shocking
Couldn't quite put my finger on it, but I think you nailed it. He's been a bit more hesitant today. Definitely seems to be waiting to see what everyone else is doing.Mainoo tidy but deferring. Needs to get himself more involved, quality is there when he gets on it.
Shooting from 54 meters usually don't get you goals. West Ham have been shooting from long range and I have no problem if they keep doing that for rest of the game.Winning at half time is good, the rest is not that good

Possible the criticism of McT and previously Mount's lack of involvement playing in that role is unwarranted as it seems like a structural issue or something that is being instructed to them.Happened against Wolves as well. As soon as Casemiro was taken off, Mainoo's involvement in the game doubled.
WHU hardly had any good chances? Onana had to make one good save from a deflected cornerIts not just shots its also chances. We've literally sat back and let them go at us.
West ham are taking potshots. I'm not saying we're playing well but these are all very low risk shots, borne out by the fact that they have about 1.1xg from 13 shots.The number of shots we concede a game is ridiculous.
Wonderful what some confidence can do.
Been injured.I posted this in player forum and did not get a response. What is happening with AWB? Not even making the bench. Seems odd to me,
Might have the mistake he made at Olympic stadium (his only mistake?) Ilin his head - he shouldn'tCouldn't quite put my finger on it, but I think you nailed it. He's been a bit more hesitant today. Definitely seems to be waiting to see what everyone else is doing.
No you are not, it is just that you are watching an actual game, while tons on here are watching numbers and stats instead.Once again, I'm watching a different game to nearly everyone else on here.
I think we've played pretty well. Goal was excellent, and I haven't felt nervous as in most matches. Think we're playing with a bit more control, Bruno keeping it quite tidy. I think we'll have plenty of chances in the second half.
For me the main issue in the match is our wing play. Garnacho has done very little, same for Rashford. Rashford has been very slow in his decision making as always, and Garnacho has failed to really have any impact.
Eh i wouldn't say that. Our problem hasn't been being dull, it's been a complete lack of control and dominance in games leading to just pure end to end teams where we concede 20 shots per game.We're just such a dull team. Man Utd, above all else, was about entertainment. Games these days are mostly horrible to watch
Absolutely. We're playing at walking pace mostly and creating next to nothing.We're just such a dull team. Man Utd, above all else, was about entertainment. Games these days are mostly horrible to watch
I'm not concerned about our set pieces and neither should you.To be fair their chances are mostly from set pieces, but im more concerned about ours!
The difference is we look like scoring when in the right position. We haven't kicked on since scoring and West Ham have had opportunities but haven't been able to finish. We need to up the tempo this half.Once again, I'm watching a different game to nearly everyone else on here.

Who is Halaand?There is absolutely nothing about this game we are in control of. Honestly Ive seen west ham a lot. They’ve had 14 entries into our box and 13 shots. Most games, even home games West Ham struggle to get 2/3 shots/entries into the box in. It’s a bad, bad performance. Our cbs, halaand and onana have been good but everyone else has been so below par.
Even in his old clips before United he was quite good at it, so they must be blindSomeone mentioned in the Holjund thread that he can’t dribble
That is one side of the story. With Varane with Martinez we are way more proactive and pushing high. With Maguire we are forced to sit deep.Martinez and Maguire have been great, Casemiro and Bruno less so, Rashford and Garnacho are not getting any change out of their full backs either.
I think we'd like to just control games and not give them shooting opportunities like normal top teams... Conceding 20 shots per game isn't normalWould the people complaining about conceding shots want Rashford and Bruno go on their shoot on sight-mode to even the shots statistic? It likely wont result in goals but i suppose that doesnt really matter?
Also Maguire hasnt been bad at all todayMartinez has been transformative at centreback. So calm, assured and zips passes into the forwards quickly. Love him!
Always in favour of seeing the areolas come outAreola out is a big plus in my eyes.
This is what i was seeing too. Just missing that spark in the front line to create good chances.Once again, I'm watching a different game to nearly everyone else on here.

Only 2 of their shots were on target. We blocked a lot of them. They've created feck all, although set pieces are a concern.Surprised to see how many shots they've had in the stats, because I really feel like it doesn't feel like that sort of game at all.
Fantastic goal by Hojlund. Delighted for him to be right in form now.
You're happy with this football?xG merchant’s coming in again as though we’re supposed to look at that instead of the score line.
