    Martial is poor, at some point we have to question the man picking him over and over again though.

    Fred literally could not trap a bag of cement tonight. Decision making from the team has been so so poor. Passing quality has been abysmal.

    Why does Ole keep insisting with Lindelof-Maguire partnership when it’s clear Bailly is better alongside Harry? No reason for Bailly not to be playing tonight unless he’s injured again (which I don’t think he is).

    I have defended Martial so much in the past but it’s so wrong when a player is on a particular level for so long without getting better. That’s unacceptable.

    We need some energy in midfield

    Apart from Rashfords individual goal we have created absolutely f all. Surely we can only get better 2nd half..
    we have the ability to make the worst teams in the prem look the best.

    Ole’s persistence and ignorance to continually play that same defence week in week out when they are constantly leaking goals and costing us crucial points when the top 4 is so tight is astonishing

    is he just pretending it ain’t happening in his head ? Do they do any post analysis ?

    What will we lose by trying something new ? Because this current option is not working one bit
    Defensively we look okay other than crosses and set pieces. Set pieces aren’t just about the defenders, it requires the entire team to defend. I could see at least 4 United players not marking anyone when they scored. They need to scrap zonal marking. It’s been a disaster.

    By the way, Martial has been absolutely embarassing again. Really don't see the point of him at the moment.

    I have no idea what we're trying to do. We keep conceding stupid sunday league goals every week and nothing changes. Our passing is worse than preseason level.

    James has actually been one of our best players tonight.
    Hes done nothing when he's passed the ball.

    The issue is he only has pace and we all knew he wouldn't be able to use it against Newcastle.

    The reason we concede so many is the manager. This centre back pairing doesn’t work. They’re not picking themselves. It’s on Ole. The entire fan base is screaming for Eric Bailly. He’s stubborn & it’s costing us goals & points.

    Maguire was our only defender actually trying to get something on the ball and is getting criticised?
    :lol: :lol: :lol:. It is his bloody job. In fact only thing in which he is good at it.
    So for 80 mil you are happy if defender tries to get the ball? Your standards are really really low my friend.
    And fyi; any decent defender will head that ball in corner. It is basic defending stuff.
