Mata has been good, Martial inconsistent.
Yea, not a player I would want to have in a counter attacking team Ole is building. Way too slow. Doesn't have the legs anymore. Kills some exciting moves for me.That's your conclusion from this half?
No he didn't? He's been a big part of our counters and hasn't held any of them up... He's been getting the ball and moving it on to Rash/Pogs quickly.Doesn't fit the counter attacking system anymore. Slowed down at least a few counters there. A recurring theme.
I would have Fred in there, perfect game for him right now.A very strange half. The next goal could be either side. We looked better after the goal but still carrying passengers in Matic and Herrera.
Others mentioned Martial had a shocker also. His positioning was awful for a striker in the box.Thought hes looked very sharp actually. Tiny adjustments and he could easily get a few assists or score himself.
PIG used to play for us.Please, GOAT's enough, no more animal-related acronyms.
I wonder what ashley young thinks of himself as a player. sometimes i wonder if he thinks he is good enough to play for us.Herrera, Matic and Young I thought have been the 3 worst by a distance. They improved as the half went on but so fecking sloppy at the start
He’s on paternity leaveis lindelof injured? bit surprised ole breaking up the smalling/lindelof partnership
Defensively yeah he hasnt done much I'd agree, going forward the only complaint from me would be the end product has been that slight bit off but has been a threat otherwise. Obviously can improve but I wouldnt be surprised if he ends the game with a goal/assist. Shouldve had both a goal and an assist already if his end product was that tiny bit more refined.Others mentioned Martial had a shocker also. His positioning is awful for a striker.
And he didn't press at all when lost the ball. Just staring at it, complaining or felt sorry for himself.
He was close to score a few times. Foster saving in point blank rage was the only time we actually tested the keeper.Others mentioned Martial had a shocker also. His positioning was awful for a striker in the box.

That is Martial. He plays his own game. When it works he looks like a worldie, but it often doesn't work. A new Nani.Others mentioned Martial had a shocker also. His positioning was awful for a striker in the box.

Yes, he has all the tools but refuses to run in behind when we’re attacking how our coaches not addressing this still baffles meIf only Martial had the offensive work rate of Rashford. We would be so much more dangerous on the counter.
Yeh. Noticed it as well. He looked sulky when he lost the ball, or the pass didn't reach him.He just seems like a player who likes to play how he plays, is apathetic to the result and lacks the intensity to reach the next level as a footballer.
No wonder DDG dare to ask for 500k/wk.200k is the new 50k. Any decent player can get it at United.

Herrera had been shite too this half.Herrera has been a one man midfielder. Matic does not even defend. Why do we still play him?
Giving him that massive contract is starting to look a very bad call.Yes, he has all the tools but refuses to run in behind when we’re attacking how our coaches not addressing this still baffles me
I remember at least 2-3 moves in the last 10 mins. 1 where he was through but rather decided to turn onto left foot rather than go 1 on 1 are the kinds of chances we should at least have a shot on targetNo he didn't? He's been a big part of our counters and hasn't held any of them up... He's been getting the ball and moving it on to Rash/Pogs quickly.
He also would have been in from a counter had Martial found him at the end
He was our best player up until the goal making passes that every other player messed up. After that he missed some chances. No way is he our worst player.Martial has been our worst player
Agreed. Maybe him and Lingard can get on later. If we need to pick them off on the transition.I would have Fred in there, perfect game for him right now.
That's why I laughed l o lYou laughed so you must have thought something
He is a good player who can possibly play for a better team yeah
Because he was great from Christmas until he got injured. My, some of you have short memories.Herrera has been a one man midfielder. Matic does not even defend. Why do we still play him?
I thought we'd got rid of you.You are such a silly man.
He's just gone 23 for feck sake.Giving him that massive contract is starting to look a very bad call.
Really I don't understand it. They should be screaming at him everyday to run in behind. He needs to add that facet to his game or he'll be out if the XI eventually.Yes, he has all the tools but refuses to run in behind when we’re attacking how our coaches not addressing this still baffles me
