    There's only one United!
    Rashford and Greenwood are fecking around with the ball and not getting anywhere

    Lindelof is clearly not great, but I don't think he's completely useless. The biggest issue by far is that midfield. They play all the time and they're simply not good enough. McTominay is a decent squad player but he's playing too much football. Fred is just shit

    I'm not a Henderson fanboy but...:lol: :lol:
    Some of the people laughing at this. We've seen De Gea pull off saves any other goalie would consider impossible.

    His agility and ability to react lighting fast allows him to do stuff others cannot.

    The way some go on about this being unsaveable to any and all GKs makes it look like you've missed De Gea playing for us in the past 10 years.

    first time I've watched United without crowd noise and I can't hear anyone doing anything like enough talking: in the wolves game, could hear coady even with the fake crowd

    My favourite players? I'm not 6. I bet you're rubbing your hands together with glee. You'll dine out on that minor error for a least 6 months. :lol:
    Eh? Dine out on what? I just found it very funny how you’re constantly posting passive aggressive posts whenever Fred/Lindelof do something right, or how you ‘dine out’ when we have a poor game with Bailly — and now all of a sudden it’s “these things just happen”. At least be a tidbit less transparent.

    How do you clear it when it has been given away by McTominay? He was already stretched.
    Mate, Lindelof had ample opportunity to clear the ball into the stands, but chose to pass his way out of trouble and made a mess of it. He's completely at fault for the goal. Not for the first time this season either.

    Mctominay did nothing wrong but receive a sorely underweighted pass from Fred.

    Struggling to see what did McT do wrong there? He got completely sold short by Fred.

    You can see how much we miss Cavani's movement when he isn't on the pitch. Area gets cluttered with defenders and no one makes the run into the area. Brutal.

    McFred are offering feck all so far. Can’t have 2 passengers in such important positions.

    How people are blaming Lindelof here is a joke. He made the tackle, got a bit unlucky from the bounce. It's not like Traore was in prime striking position. 99/100 times this goes nowhere, not the top bloody corner.

    The issue is the two midfielders, especially McT, who lose the ball in front of our box. These are players meant to be able to keep the ball and beat the press, at least somewhat competently. They're anything but that.
    He is soft as shit. Should have done a lot better. Fred should get sold ASAP

    McFred giving the ball away again. Lindelof getting brushed off again. Rinse and repeat
    Fred passed the ball to Scott in a tight space, he didn't deal with it. Wasn't a missed place pass...

    Fred and McTominay are so useless. Won't win anything until we get a player that can do by himself what they are supposed to as a pairing.

    wish I had a pound for every time I've said in the past three years: we need a fecking winger. no pace, no width, inability to make telling final pass...
    Definitely need a upgrade on Fred. Surely there is a player out their who can run around and pass too.

    They look more likely to score a 2nd before we score our first.

    He's absolutely shit. How many times is he just shrugged off the ball like that?
    He's supposed to be a CB.

    I actually missed the goal but people are stupid for blaming Lindelof like it was a major error. It was a cracking goal and not much he could do.
    Many are not stupid as you say.
    Lindelof did not close him down properly - it was one on one and he should have done better.

    I truly hate The way Fred plays football.

    Never seen a midfielder with a bigger liability of a touch.

    McT was terrible for it too

    Any half decent defender would have put it out for a corner
