Manchester United 2:2 Burnley

lysglimt · Dec 26, 2017

Using Zlatan as an attacking midfielder is a stroke of genious - that way you are guaranteed that you only have one player in the box when a cross comes in. As for Rashford - a winger who fails to make a run into the box when the ball is near the corner of the penalty box on the other side should never play as a winger.

Out with Zlatan and Rashford - in with Martial and Lingard - and I wouldn't cry if we get a new manager who is capable of teaching the players to actually play football as a team rather than try to create flashes of individual brilliance.

Pathetic. We’re actually not even close to 1-2. Can’t believe it. Burnley are winning comfortably. At Old Trafford! The fans attending should get their tickets refunded by the club

Think this is the beginning of the end for Mourinho.

Maybe we'll look back at his childish barbs after the Leicester performance as a point where he lost the team, and this is the time when the team are starting to down tools.

Thanks

catmandeu · Dec 26, 2017

It is really horrible to see us play without any set game plan. No passing accuracy, not good with set pieces, not good with crosses or corners, defence not good enough, players not playing where they should. I just dont know whom to blame really.

LilyWhiteSpur · Dec 26, 2017

Really didn't expect this.

Vilev · Dec 26, 2017

United lack any attacking plan at all. Our offensive game is simply non-existing. Look at Ibra, Lukaku, Rash, Mata, Pogba - no clear picture of how they play, no clear, drilled maneuvers. Players simply don;t understand how they are supposed to get past deep defence.
After 1,5 years i do expect better.

worcesterred · Dec 26, 2017

What’s the point in Zlatan and Rom playing? As a partnership they offer feck all.

Clearly Smalling at fault for both goals

No, no it's clearly Lindelöf's fault.

Raven Blade · Dec 26, 2017

We're seriously throwing away our league campaign. Can't catch Man City, allowing the chasing pack to close the gap on us.

DavidDeSchmikes · Dec 26, 2017

hoping for a comeback similar to that of the Tottenham game at Old Trafford in 2009. :nervous:

I feel like we could benefit greatly from an attacking coach

ah, City fan pretending to be United fan, so Pep is defensive coach?

RDCR07 · Dec 26, 2017

We are playing as if we are playing FIFA. Trying these cute flicks, just pressing turbo and running at a defender full speed without any idea what to do, trying to play through balls or overhead lob passes when clearly it wont work and shooting from long range. Terrible performance and on top of that Burnely arent even playing well. We just shot ourselves in the foot twice and they happen to score both times.

Paul_Scholes18 · Dec 26, 2017

We are in terrible form aren't we. Low confidence and poor play all around. Lingard need to come on straight away cause he is one of our best players at the moment.

not seen any of the first half, have we been that bad ?

Just the typical huffing and puffing with no real end product. We "look" good but the reality is, we haven't created any chances.

yamo123x · Dec 26, 2017

Booooos everywhere the intent is there but the application is dire. We have the long ball from rojo and that is it.

Mr Chutney · Dec 26, 2017

Thought we are doing alright to be fair - nobody saves that free kick!

Dobba · Dec 26, 2017

Any chance of setting the Player Ratings up so we can dish out zeros?

He can't help it , can't he? Truly special on that regard.

They're aggressive, organised, hard-working. Several great defensive blocks. Wins more duels. Always dangerous on crosses (hit the bar too).

I'd say they've been great this half.

They're winning the 50/50s. That's a team putting in a shift.

Kaos · Dec 26, 2017

Really miss Martial for this.

TMDaines · Dec 26, 2017

Can handle being outplayed or unfortunate on the day, but cannot stomach a lazy 15 minutes when you are second to every fecking ball and are pulling out of challenges. I cannot stand a complete lack of onfield leadership and players not fgetting back on their feet for the next attack.

Mata very good: fantastic movement and composure in the tight spaces. Both full backs are getting forward, but there’s so rarely a man offering an overlap.

Paul_Scholes18 · Dec 26, 2017

The lack of mobility through the middle is meat and drink to this Burnley team, we've had a lot of the ball without really threatening their goal. I'd get Lingard and Mkhi on for Ibra and Rashford.

Yeah agree with that. Can also sub Rojo off cause he have been shit and got a yellow card. He is stupid enough to get a red too.

What? You're wrong. According to some, all we need is more players! Morons.

You're absolutely right, of course. Our offensive coaching is non-existent.

I’m not in the slightest bit shocked. We don’t have a style of play, we don’t have any grit and our manager is a divisive cock.

vidic blood & sand · Dec 26, 2017

Let's face it boys, unless we have the world's best players, we're gonna be hovering around the top 4 with Mou.

Whenever the midfielder has thh ball, all thh forwards are not running into spaces. This is the main difference between United and City. All our forwards think that they are George Best and want the ball at their feet???

Couldn’t agree more lack of movement is atrocious but then we put Lingard on who has good movement but his end product is woeful. We need to buy more quality in certain positions and they is no getting around it.

Ducklegs · Dec 26, 2017

Its the same problem we have had for years, we dont carry the ball into the box, we dont attack space, and we have absolutely 0 craft and creativity.

The one player who gives us anything like this is Lingard, and he is so patchy in his performances he cant be relied upon.

We're such a weird fecking team I wouldn't bet against us coming out second half and scoring 4. We've got the talent, they just need to pull their fingers out.

I agree with this, I think we'll see a very different 2nd half

Mister_Stubbs · Dec 26, 2017

I hate people mentioning the price of our squad when things aren’t going our way BUT.. the price of that fecking team to be putting in performances like this and the unprofessional performance against Bristol and Leicester just gives me the right fecking ump. This team very much mirrors it’s manager who I am quickly losing patience with.

NotoriousISSY · Dec 26, 2017

Stupid fouls led to two goals, but going forward we look devoid of ideas, particular Rashford today who can’t seem to do the basics.

Zlatan and Lukaku together is a nightmare. I don’t know the story behind Martial, but not even being on the bench is really going to hurt us.

space · Dec 26, 2017

Mourinho will be gone at the end of the season, he looks like he has no confidence, nor do the team, I'm sick of watching average players week in week out.

Maradona10 · Dec 26, 2017

Rashford and Rojo have been piss poor, Zlatan is slowing us down, we are also having shit luck. De gea's major weakness of not coming out to areal balls is shown up. There needs to be a hige window for united, not incoming but outgoing. Too many average shitheads playing for us.

serxyo · Dec 26, 2017

Goals from standard positions that caused dropped points:
- 2 goals vs city
- goal vs leicester
- 2 goals vs burnley (1st half)

Sort it out Mourinho. I'm sick of it, this 25 players that we have in our team are capable much more than this. If this manager can't solve those problems, change manager.

ash_86 · Dec 26, 2017

We need two wingers, i've had enough of Rash/Martial playing as fake wingers. Their instincts is to cut inside every single time and its pathetically easy to predict. hard to believe a club like United famous for wingers is playing without any.

Yep, all we need is Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez, Berbatov and Fergie

Nipower888 · Dec 26, 2017

I can’t wait for this epic comeback in the second half.

I very much admire Marcus Rashford's footballing ability but if there was a testing process for footballing intelligence, I'm pretty sure he'd show up as legally retarded. He genuinely is the Forest Gump of footballers.

We all see this but for some reason Jose doesn't or is too stubborn to drop him for a 4 or 5 games
