Manchester United 1:2 Sheffield United

Falcow · Jan 27, 2021

Nobody seems to be pointing the finger at Bruno on here. He has been the worst of the lot. Giving the ball back to Sheffield United constantly. It's very hard to beat anyone, even if they are bottom of the table when your players constantly give the ball to the other team. His side kick Rashford is no better. Dont get me started on Martial.

Our casual approach to keeping the ball drives me absaloutely fecking cuckoo.

Who's this wanker co-commentator on bt sport's? He's basically spent the entire game slagging United off and creaming his pants over Sheffield.

Not a surprise, it's Trevor Sinclair, City fan!

Bojan11 · Jan 27, 2021

The ref has a clear view of Sharp fouling De Gea. cnut.

Shaw for Telles would make a difference, I think.

This is for sure. Telles is too limited in offensive play cause he can’t carry the ball and dribbling.

This isn't about subbing x on for y - we should be able to keep possession in advanced areas against SHU playing a back 5. Ironically it's riskier being too defensive against these kinds of teams because the gulf in quality is so big, it's better to be front foot and playing passes in advanced areas given their threat is so minimal.

Yeah but we have blown that luxury by going a goal down.

Houdini · Jan 27, 2021

It should have been 0:0 or 1:1. Ref can feck off. Who is behind VAR? Klopp?

You can't win the title if you make every single match a slog.

We're halfway through the season and we've had one comfortable win all season.

Yeah. This is the biggest reason why I cannot actually see us winning the league. There will be a number of games that don’t break our way, whereas City – and most other top sides even – put a whole number of games beyond doubt, so even slight misfortune cannot cost you.

Idxomer · Jan 27, 2021

I still don't understand why Ole rests Fred so often.

Hugh Jass · Jan 27, 2021

Martial is not an out and out striker. Just does not have the instinct, that RVP or Aguero have/had.

TrustInJanuzaj · Jan 27, 2021

Surely Cavani and Shaw on at half time

mitchmouse · Jan 27, 2021

how did VAR not see the foul on DDG? any doubts as to whether it was a foul or not: dickhead Walton says not, so it obviously was! more of a cnut than most ordinary pundits

ROFLUTION · Jan 27, 2021

Cavani, Shaw, Mata please

Chicharito_ · Jan 27, 2021

We haven't won a match by 2 goals for 9 games!

Why is every game such a stress with United!

sammyhol · Jan 27, 2021

Wilder tactics in defence are clear...

Let AWB have the space, just mark everyone else... as they just don’t have to worry about the delivery...

Also... why is Ole persisting with starts for Martial?... he has been awful all season.

Just saw the goal we conceded - is there a weaker goalkeeper in world football than David de Gea?

Agree, a keeper should be coming out like a raging bull and anyone who gets in the way will feel it. This fecker is a pussy

Not watching the game but has martial actually been bad or we just arent creating anything?

We aren't creating. It's been sideways and back passes. This is a match thread and people love talking absolute nonsenses.

For some reasons we've failed to involved our forwards in the game. Martial hasn't been wanked like you keep reading from these over emotional knee jerkers.

Hoof the ball · Jan 27, 2021

Greenwood is the Invisible Man outside the box. He literally does not exist, both as a human and as a player. He exerts next to no influence in general play, until he gets into the box. We absolutely cannot rely upon a prodigiously talented striker on the right where he's largely ineffective.

pratyush_utd · Jan 27, 2021

Worst part is DDG didn't even bother complaining. What the actual feck?

Acole9 · Jan 27, 2021

Martial has been so poor. Need to get Cavani on quickly.

Another example where VAR has not worked properly.

Feared this type of slow uninterested performance. We'll never win the league with this type of attitude to the smaller teams.

True. We'll probably end the game with 80% of the ball but with less (or maybe if we're lucky the same amount) shots on target than Sheffield.

I thought we'd hammer them, so I guess I should take full responsibility for this satanic torture of a football game... :annoyed:

dal · Jan 27, 2021

Sheffield United are playing stuck in the mud back there, they just won’t come out. Martial scores a valid goal, how the Fuk was that foul and then De Geas isn’t !!!, De Geas was worse.

I really think we need to bring Luke Shaw on, telles seems as though he’ll get caught defensively and doesn’t offer much going forward.

Stick Greenwood up top, Martial left, Rashford right and bring on Shaw.

Have some faith lads. Weve been better in second halves throughout the whole season

We shouldn’t be in this situation. AGAIN!

If city were playing SU, they would three nil up already.

Instead we have to do it that hard way, that is if we do it.

simplyared · Jan 27, 2021

Telles is a huge downgrade. Shaw should come in at the restart. Tuanzebe is just not good enough and is on a yellow and looks like a red card walking. He shouldn't come out either. On with Lindelöf. If Martial carries on with the way he's doing on with Cavani on 60min. It's in Ole's hands to make those necessary changes and then we'll win the game.

YouOnlyLiveTwice · Jan 27, 2021

It's pretty simple: we need more ideas.

Cavani can give us something different in the box.

We are pretty good at turning things around, so i have Faith.

He’s bad most games but moments of magic change the narrative

What I don’t get is why VAR doesn’t intervene with the Martial goal. It’s a clear and obvious error from the referee

The referee caused himself a massive problem by blowing his whistle too early.

We’ve have no decisions since the other managers ganged up and made a big deal about us supposedly getting soft decisions

RashyForPM · Jan 27, 2021

Not even a heat of the moment thing, this Martial performance is the worst I’ve ever seen from a United striker. Losing every challenge, misplacing every pass, completely abandoning the press and straight up not moving into space. Worst thing is though, this is just the lowest point of what has been a shocker of a season for Martial. I said it after the PSG game; he has to be sold. Whether he scores here or not (he won’t, just to clarify), I won’t change my mind.

Aside from him, Matic, AWB and DDG have been garbage. Need Cavani.

I've yet to see an impressive display from Telles. Don't know where this wand of a left foot comes from, must be a myth.

Had a great cross to your namesake, but yeah, he offers very little atm.

FrankDrebin · Jan 27, 2021

The team seems scared stiff to play expansive football. The more pressure there is, the more tense we get.

Bojan11 · Jan 27, 2021

Ref blew too early. cnut again.

Alemar · Jan 27, 2021

Martial is playing like shit. Telles is non-existent. Matic looks a 50 year old. Unbelievable really

Offside · Jan 27, 2021

We’ve been absolutely done there by shocking referring. How can he give one and not the other? Shambles.

van Persie · Jan 27, 2021

Sub Tuanzebe, play 3-5-3 with Matic at CB now. Thanks

.Phil1968 · Jan 27, 2021

So slow getting the ball from defence to attack, need to be sharper.

spiriticon · Jan 27, 2021

800 passes, 800 crosses, 800% possession, 0 goals

Inject this zombie football into my veins.

big rons sovereign · Jan 27, 2021

Looks like city sent out some real.nice Christmas cards this year.

Still ill · Jan 27, 2021

AWB has been vastly superior to Telles from an offensive point of view. At least he's trying stuff, showing some urgency. That's really a half of football that would take you back to a couple of seasons ago. The whole midfield look way off.
