He's been poor since coming back. I dont understand why when he gets the ball on the left wing he just stops and refuses to run at players. He plays like we are 3-0 up all the time

I haven't seen much, if any, of Guimaraes this season. What type of player is he? I definitely think that whatever replacement we go for has to be in the mould of a defensively minded playmaker. I reckon Phillips from Leeds would be perfect for the role but cant see Leeds selling him after they...

Can you guys keep this on the topic of Matic replacements please? Almost two pages of talk about whether Hargreaves played RW or RCM in one game is a bit boring and not relevant.

I think if the right move doesnt appear for a player of the likes of Saul or Koopmeiners then I would be happy with just focusing primarily on getting a quality RW in. I think people are overlooking Garner on this thread. It would appear that he is being groomed precisely for that Matic role. I...

Are you watching the same game? Shaw is playing at walking speed. In fact him and rashford walking up the pitch and losing the ball was directly the fault for Norwich's goal

In the last 5 games, United have managed 6 shots on target. Let that sink in.

These US academies seem to have much better technical and tactical coaching at the younger age groups. We don't seem to have any likewise mantra on how to play at this level other than mostly playing long balls forward (albeit in this match the LA players are clearly more physically developed...

Quote of the thread. Perfectly sums up my feelings after this much. Great to get the win but, putting aside our innate bias and love for United and seeing the game as a neutral, we really look extremely poor as a team. Some excellent individuals but the lack of a game plan or any sense of...

Why is Valencia refusing to pass the ball quickly to McTominay and insists on going long?

Here come the "holier than thou" posters to the rescue of this thread! :lol:

U16s lost 5-0 to RB Leipzig in the third place play off.

This to a tee. We generally win games either only through flashes of individual brilliance or sheer physicality. When this fails against teams who are close to us in terms of individual quality and coached better we have no chance. Being bottom of the premier league table in terms of distance...

The thoughts of Mourinho managing us again next year and making the same mistakes over and over again is depressing. It seems like he has no idea how to coach football philosophies and his tactical expertise that has masked this lack of coaching so often has even been suspect in big games this year.

2-0 down and the only person bothering to run is Sanchez. Jose is getting shown up by Porch in terms of coaching. Embarrassing

Amen. Could not agree more. Loving this.
