Ah Bailly injured again. I'm sure its on the list of what we look for in a CB. Injury prone, rash, can't pass, poistional sense all over the shop.

We cant just be that unlucky.
Neither of these were present in his first season. At this time we were all convinced we had a beast in our hands that secured the CB position. Shame how that ended out to be, became totally shite whenever he plays, which isn't not often as he gets injured every game.

Unfortunately for Bailly he is such a nonesensic defender. For me he's got a lot of potential to be an absolutely rock at the back but, jeez, he's just kamikazee.

This second half United seems to be half as good as the first half's. Poor concentration I guess. This second half midfield makes me aware of how much quiality we're lacking in that department, not that the first half one is WC

Matic is woeful... And Gomes is worse than James as the LW, for the time being at least ...

Rashford face when ball went to their left side, he knew that Mata couldnt back up a pressing.

No, there are actually some that manage to stay on their feet and still win the ball. Some call it "reading of the game". I know it's hard to believe if you only watched United these last few years.
As I said, almost. It has to do with his playing style, and it takes a lot of hard work to change that. But just ignore that part of my post.

What's up with Matic? I understand he has slowed down but why can't he even pass properly. Keeps giving away the ball.

Dalots defending is pretty dodgy sometimes, he allows them so much space out on the right

Poor goal to concede but its been coming. We've not defended or used the ball well since the half time changes.

I really, really don't see the potential many here seem to be seeing in Dalot.

Damn. Moura scores with a deflection after Matic was unable to stop him.

He can cross and take on a man, that's it. Positionally very suspect.
