Manchester United 4:2 Aston Villa

Thank god i got to pick up my son at 9.15 thats got to be one of the worst halves i have seen of football.

Gordon S · Nov 10, 2022

The club should apologize for that display of nothingness to the fans at half time. Only decent thing to do.
Their back 5 is championship level and we can barely get into the last third, nevermind creating chances. I don`t know much about stats, but i would not be surprised if our xG was in the negative

In a game where it feels like we have the ball more or less all the time, that's proper shocking

We have the ball, except most of the time it’s just loose passing between the centre backs and the full backs with the occasional long ball because our midfielders are hopeless.

I’ve taken Xanax bars that pepped me up more than this match.

BluesJr · Nov 10, 2022

Lack of style the biggest issue for me.

Santoryo · Nov 10, 2022

Villa are playing with such a high line there is so much space in behind yet our bereft of creativity midfield can't spot the space or runs made, especially by Martial.

The most egregious one was that one Fred missed to spot Martial and would have been in with a simple pass yet he tried to go wide and didn't even make the pass and lost it.

Fooza · Nov 10, 2022

I really enjoyed Zidane and Savage in pre-season, could they not have featured today

RedIan · Nov 10, 2022

Man that was boring..
mcfred and DVB simply not good enough.
Donnys being given good game time and hes just anonymous again. Freds passing is dire as usual.
we need Casamiro on for fred or scott. Garnacho for DVB and let Bruno move to 10.

VdB with a grand total of 11 touches. Only Ings and Watkins (both on 10) have less than him.

Martial on 15 touches, Rashford 29 touches were the next lowest for United.

He's a ghost. AGAIN. Third game running.

He needs more games yo get game rhythm. Never had enough chances the past 2 1/2 seasons
Another 26 games before he gets his rhythm

Toddler · Nov 10, 2022

Ten Hag is learning the hard truth about most of our players. Hopefully he has the balls to adress the issues.

Ibi Dreams · Nov 10, 2022

VDB absolutely anonymous. I literally forgot he was on the pitch.

pauldyson1uk · Nov 10, 2022

fecking awful game, by both teams.

Conor · Nov 10, 2022

Genuinely one of the worst halves of football I've ever seen.

Unsure that was a shot, whatever he was trying went horribly wrong either way.

Did our forwards forget offside was a thing.
Regarding Fred, unsure how a pro footballer can have such erratic passing

Forwards just not good enough is the main problem, Salah would have a hat trick in this game.

C'mon man, don't hold out on me, share it round!

AndySmith1990 · Nov 10, 2022

Honestly believe some of the dimwits in our squad are uncoachable. They train every day to play a certain way but still serve up the same rubbish we've seen for years. How the feck can premier league players find it so difficult to make a few passes without losing possession

Oh yes, that was when we scored only one penalty.

Pereira scored,
Rooney, Carrick, Young missed

DevTheRed · Nov 10, 2022

Fred and McTominay just shouldn’t play together. Zero creativity.

Bobski · Nov 10, 2022

Complete waste having Bruno out on the wing.

Someone · Nov 10, 2022

Really hate this Bruno on the right thing. Hasn't worked since and we still keep going for it over and over again, and we end up creating a problem in the middle in the process, why?

kaku06 · Nov 10, 2022

Why we try this long ball over the top again and again? Is this the style we tend to impose?

My only Eric · Nov 10, 2022

Fred- A midfielder who can’t control, shield and pass or shoot the ball
Mct- A midfielder who can’t pass the ball
Vdb- A false player

Havak · Nov 10, 2022

Awful game of football. Villa will be content as they've turned it into a 45 match where they can play on the counter with a bit more impetus.

You can just see how hard it is for us to dictate a game in midfield with Fred & McTominay as a pair. Fred in particular has been astonishingly bad tonight.

DAMN!

I'm sorry

Its like no one wants to pass to him. He's always asking for the ball but the players just ignore him. I guess they expect him to give it right back anyway.

Its strange though, he'll point to himself just about to make a run behind the line but get ignore, but everyone will send a pass out towards Rashford behind the line even though he's not ready for it.

It’s shocking really. Every team in the league is capable of passing the ball around better than this. Every touch is off. Every pass is weighted wrong or played into the wrong space. Just complete shite.

Solius · Nov 10, 2022

This is the kind of game we should be playing Eriksen in. Slower pace and more room for passes.

Shimo · Nov 10, 2022

So many runs early that were there for players to put the ball in or just open players to get the ball progressed quickly but, no one was willing to take a chance. Villa has a high line and we need a player that can see the ball quicker.

If ETH is going to play Bruno out of position then why the hell not just play him in the Eriksen spot, at least he sees the passes and will play those balls over the top.

Something has got to change in this second half, play with a significant amount more urgency which comes with just wanting to move the ball quicker and being aware of what is around you - not get the ball, take a touch or 2 and then figure out next pass.

Such a low quality, low intelligence football...it sickens me watching us. 1 billion pounds spent and this is our squad.

Fred : 50 millions
AWB : 50 millions
VdB : 35 millions
Maguire : 80 millions

Money is worthless when you spend it on trash.

This is what I can’t understand. It’s one thing not bringing in the quality but persisting with the deadwood is another. Fred’s 5th season here now and we all knew he wasn’t good enough after 6 months. Why are we not just moving him on and at least giving kids a chance?

Greck · Nov 10, 2022

We don't need our middle 4 to create chances, just pass to the attackers, It's not too much to ask for. One of the most baffling displays of midfield incompetence.

KjaAnd · Nov 10, 2022

How can we expect to win a game of football with Fred, McT and VdB in midfield? Villa are playing a high line but none of the aforementioned can time and hit a pass over 10 meters. It's insane that this is the team we have to field after having spent fortunes since SAF.

calodo2003 · Nov 10, 2022

VdB is such a trier.

I would be down for playing Bruno on the right if it wasn't just to accommodate VDB as 10. Building the attack around our poorest and least influential player

bosnian_red · Nov 10, 2022

Good off the ball and pressing, shit on the ball which you'd expect considering the midfield 3 and the back 2.

I would swap Donny for Casemiro and push Fred and Scott higher up the pitch. Maybe we could add some pressure to them

Flying high · Nov 10, 2022

Bring Donny off now. His kit should still be clean.

Save the subs for later though.

Because our right wingers are injured

Djemba-Djemba · Nov 10, 2022

We've never had as bad an attacking lineup as we have this season.

We're utterly toothless

Redderp · Nov 10, 2022

McTominay, Fred and Donny van de Beek = Bermuda Triangle…
