The CBs have looked fairly good, other than that everything was terrible

fergiesarmy1 · Oct 6, 2019

It was getting better after 30 mins, should be one up and I guess everyone is moaning

JPRouve · Oct 6, 2019

To be fair with the current injuries the team is awful.

Inigo Montoya · Oct 6, 2019

That was 47 minutes I’ll remember for a very long time!

The cowardliness of our team is saddest part. So many times a player will have the chance to pass between the lines but chicken out of it and go backwards or square. Prepare all you like on the training pitch, if your players either can't or won't take risks it's pointless. Shocking lack of balls in this squad.

Yeah, if only Ole had the power to pick who plays!

Judas · Oct 6, 2019

We play with no tempo whatsoever, it’s pathetic to watch this. I do question what I’m doing with my life wasting 90 minutes every week watching this filth.

Globule · Oct 6, 2019

We could really do with someone who knows how to play the number 9 position at our club.

spiriticon · Oct 6, 2019

Ashley Young produces his best corner in about 5 years and Maguire fecks it up.

Jesus wept.

Krits · Oct 6, 2019

It’s hard to watch us play and it’s been like this for years. Keep tuning in hoping for miracles and it never happens.

OldSchoolManc · Oct 6, 2019

Utter tripe.
Is it bad that I wanted Young to be injured after that tackle, just so he could be taken off?
Also, the sooner Ole realises that Rashford is terrible through the middle, the better.

Do you think Ashley Young realises that opposition teams deliberately let him have the ball as much as possible?

He has high self confident but low in self awareness.

Has he actually had any service?

How can you expect service if you're not moving half the time? When he's actually moved a bit/gone down the channels he's got the ball... But half the time he's just stationary.

Can't argue with that.

Santoryo · Oct 6, 2019

McTomminay is poor, same goes for Fred. Mata is a waste of space, Perreira anonymous. Our midfield is so tragic that I can't remember the last time I'd seen James or Rashford, especially the latter touch the ball.

I agree. No, obviously not like Fred. I defy anyone to really define Pogba's best position mind, and he's an inconsistent player who can't truly be relied on.

He worked well at Juventus.. however he actually had footballers around him and wasn't expected to do EVERYTHING alone. His job was simply to create.

James was playing well and won a few free kicks so they can do one.

He wasn't expecting the corner to actually reach him.

He might be ready for the next time in 2020

I think your being too kind

Heinzesight · Oct 6, 2019

Dreadful. What the feck do we do in training? There’s no evidence of a move, a set play or any training ground routine. Slow, laboured, shaky, sideways shite. Some of our players first touch is horrendous.

Tuanzebe has done ok and Young’s corner was the only positive.

That is where he should play. Not saying that he will be world class, or even do a lot, but that, to me, is his best position, and is a better option to Mata at the moment.

Agreed. Greenwood up top, rash left, James right, him in the hole and Mata benched

Double manager sacking & swap at halftime anyone?

You are flapping your gums a bit much in this thread.

Not that I'd be against his sacking. Even at half time...

Jazz · Oct 6, 2019

Are we too depleted injury wise to play with two up top?

Newcastle must be in dire straits then. They look far worse.
The headband guy looks the most dangerous

Dargonk · Oct 6, 2019

Generally been second best that whole half, with the exception maybe the last five minutes. Maguire should have put us in front though.

I just can't see where we are going to score a goal from. Our attacking play is just so poor and disjointed. Its like we are relying on individual brilliance to score, but have forgotten that we don't have a Zlatan or Ronaldo type that can do that.

You can question his talents and not actually insult him! Calling him a pussy is just wrong on so many levels, don’t try and excuse it!

You're right. A pussy actually has some uses.

Sparky Rhiwabon · Oct 6, 2019

Newcastle glad they haven't got to play Leicester every week! Been the better team so far.

Bobcat · Oct 6, 2019

Granted we have been beyond shite, but how many sitters are we going to miss? Maguire scores that one 99/100 times, and he of course fecking misses

Rashford needs to be subbed.

Red Dreams · Oct 6, 2019

Fred and McT are practically playing as defenders.
Actually Fred is terrible.
Bring Matic in for him.

Cannot believe what I am seeing.

Of cause we are dire. No midfield.

Ace of Spades · Oct 6, 2019

Mata is so shit, keeps drifting in wide positions as he has no strength, speed or creativity left in him. Most of his passes are backwards. We have a gaping hole in the middle, and the wide areas are crowded. Get him off FFS.

hobbers · Oct 6, 2019

The amount of fear we play with. Unbelievable.

We all know how scared of the ball Young, Smalling and Matic are. But it's infecting new signings and the young players as well. Dalot looks absolutely terrified. Fred is shitting himself whenever he even catches sight of the ball. McTominay is bricking it. Rashford actively runs away from the ball and refuses to go anywhere near the box.

Looking forward to Greenwood coming on in the 85th minute and playing on the right.

ValenciasDrilledCrosses · Oct 6, 2019

Anyone have an idea of when Martial and Pogba are expected back? Their injuries are getting a bit ridiculous (Martial was supposed to be back about 3 weeks ago!)

none whatsoever. But he’s also done nothing to create even a sniff for himself.

True but being on your own up front is hardly his speciality.

Yes, this was the phrasing I was after. Ironically, he did put in an excellent cross which a poacher would have put away.

ash_86 · Oct 6, 2019

I like Tuanzebe / Maguire combo. They are both assured in air and decent with the feet.

Jonno · Oct 6, 2019

We look marginally better than Newcastle, but they’re likely to be in a relegation battle. That say’s it all.

I know we’re missing several key players in our line up, but the general style of play is sluggish, slow, sideways and no real attempt to get in behind them.

I’m sorry but the tactics aren’t good enough, the coaching doesn’t seem good enough, and Ole seems to think he’s doing a good job. It proves he isn’t good enough at this level. Top quality managers wouldn’t be happy with this level of performance every week. Regardless of team selection, the standard isn’t good enough and it hasn’t been all season.

BigBebe · Oct 6, 2019

Rashford.

No shots on or off target.
No touches in the opposition box.
No chances created.
No tackles won
No duels won
No interceptions won
7 passes total

SuperiorXI · Oct 6, 2019

Where is the intensity Ole talked about in pre season? We're about as intense as a nice warm candle lit bath.

RedDevilRoshi · Oct 6, 2019

Awful & boring would be an understatement to describe that half and our performance

morbidsaint · Oct 6, 2019

Decent half, but yet again it is very clear that our midfielders are some of the leagues worst. Poor Rashford and James. Can run as much as they want, they will never get delivery from those fools in our midfield.
