    What does Real's team look like without Alaba, Militao, Carvajal, Rudiger, Nacho, Kroos, Camavinga plus whoever is backup left back? You honestly think you'd play well?
    Every team deals with injuries. Admittedly losing pretty much the entire first choice back line sucks and has major impact.

    With that being said: I did preface by saying injuries not withstanding. And it is not like even with those players United were close to what they should have been. The workrate seems low, very pedestrian when on the ball and players playing well below a basic standard. Surely he has some responsibility? There seems to be no idea or confidence. You really want to tell me the likes of Sheffield are fielding a better team? Injury excuse can take you so far.

    Cannot be convinced that this team will finish in the top 10. Just atrocious football, the worst we’ve looked post-SAF. The level of coaching that gets you relegated, save for the moments of individual talent over the course of the season that has you finish 12th as opposed to the bottom 3.

    ETH is a fraud and severely punching above his weight. Needs to head back to the Netherlands and coach a team like Vitesse, because that’s his level.

    A friendly reminder that Newcastle beat this lot 8-0.

    I'm gonna watch the rugby now.
    I’m waiting to see what, if any subs at ht. if that same team walks out, I’m gone. I just can’t keep watching this shit. It aint healthy

    We make looking forward to a game hard work.

    No plan
    No passion
    No idea

    This is as bad as it gets. We look crap across the pitch. Antony looking like he cares.

    Poor.

    The second ball keeps eluding us.

    Our CB's are shit with passing out of trouble.

    Bruno is fecking us over with that lack of patience.

    Still, should have scored two or three.
    That Rasmus late dive from Rashford.
    That Bruno fk
    This Rasmus late chance.

    We need more control, 60' minute change of Mount and Eriksen for Scott and Amrabat if we're still level.

    Slightly better in the last 10 minutes of the half. Used the width better and was unlucky not to get a goal. Overall, its been nowhere near good enough, though.

    Pretty bad until the last 10. No rhythm or discernible patterns of play. Maguire has been our best player, Amarabt struggled heavily with the pace of the game the first 30 then started coming into it, just looks a bit sluggish. Bruno an agent of chaos as ever, McT playing as a striker.

    Come on mate, you can’t seriously think we’re this slow and ponderous because we’re missing those players. Varane is on the bench if he’s that pivotal get him on.
    Having a settled core makes a huge difference in build up.

    we showed some improvement and control in the last 10 minutes After being so bad fir 40 minutes.
    Got to see some changes If we start the 2nd half like those first 40 minutes.
    Garnacho and Erikson my choice. For Rashford and MCT

    Ten hag keeps saying we will get out of the slump if we stick together

    What do they do when they are together? Because it's not showing in our play on the pitch

    City misses two players and they started dropping points left and right, and you think United missing this many isn't a big deal? Bloody hell.

    :lol: Who are we missing that’s making that much of a difference? I can’t believe people are still acting like injuries are the issue.
    We're missing our starting back 4. There's no backup LB fit, we're playing our 4th and 5th CB. We're playing McT and Amrabat in midfield. What does the Real team look like when their equivelant starters are missing?

    An awful watch. Fernandes needs to concentrate on finding a team mate and Maguire needs to stop heading every fecking clearance straight to a Sheffield United shirt. We look so poor. Just no energy at all.

    Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

    Honestly Rash has been our worst player. He's not creative enough to be a provider for Rasmus. Would be better off with Martial feeding him or Garnacho.

    If I was Garnacho I'd be trying to get away from this dead club.

    The fact EtH picks rashford over him every fecking week is a disgrace.

    For those on here not able to watch the game and are tempted to ask how well we played in the first half, please resist the temptation.

    We need to be freed of this Bruno and Rashford duo. We are going nowhere with these two.

    How long till we call a spade a spade and start looking for a new manager. I want ETH to do well but this is just shite.

    Definitely starting to feel like we are in the delaying the inevitable stage.

    Dont know how anyone can criticise Antony when he's been comparatively brilliant when you look at Bruno and Rashford.

    At least he's put a couple of decent balls in and sprints back when he loses it.

    Enjoyable first half, but why didn't we do a quick throw in with 3 seconds of extra time on the clock? Ah well, got a good feeling about the second half. We will win.

    HELLO
    I assumed Hannibal was injured because he was playing well and then disappeared. He's actually on the bench?

    Not have a left back is killing us this season…

    it just unbalances the whole side.

    also can’t understand why eriksen is getting so few minutes, especially in games like this.

    and yea… Bruno has continued to look awful… but it has to be said that he has barely played a game in his actual position all season.

    stop faffing about with square pegs Erik… just play our best players in there best positions!

    Garnacho and Eriksen could do with coming on. Amrabat hasn’t really done anything, but I’d be tempted to move him to LB and bring Dalot off
