Manchester United 0:0 Real Sociedad

James looks good and confident but still exhibits the same flaws we've seen since he joined.

always_hoping · Feb 25, 2021

United the better team in that half, the stats speak for themselves. Still 4 goals ahead with 45 minutes to go, so good so far. A few cameos off the bench would be nice.

The true captain plays when he wants. He wants to be highest scorer in Europe this season.

captain or manager?

Greenwood has been the only poor performer this half. Bailly and Lindelof surprisingly both decent.

Lindelof AND Maguire are far better when playing with Bailly.

TrustInJanuzaj · Feb 25, 2021

So glad we took the cautious approach and didn’t give Diallo a chance.

Jacky Quacky · Feb 25, 2021

C’mon ole play some of the youngsters since we’re 4-0 up. May aswell rest for the Chelsea game now.

Was it meant to be entertainment? I don't know. But you know what's important? Time's passed and at the end of it people go "Ooh, something happened"

Greenwood has regressed. Nothing wrong with admitting this.

I genuinely don’t think he has. It’s very cliche but his all round game, including crossing, passing, work rate, dribbling in tight spaces and link-up with AWB has improved. His finishing is pretty poor atm of course but one look at some videos and records at youth level, and his performances last season, and you know that can’t last. His horrific scuffed shots will turn into them hammers into the top corner again in no time.

Isak has looked interesting for them.

6ft4 yet somehow blazing fast. Also exceptionally two-footed.

6 ft 4 and beaten to a header by Dan James.

Same mate. The quality is horrendous on my iPad. I switched it over to the Leicester game to compare and it’s the same.

dreadful.
its the same on my 4ktv - looks like an archive game.

Perhaps his scoring has but I thought the consensus was that his overall play has improved?

Yeah he is rapid for somebody of his height, looks almost strange in a way.

Any one still have hope for Bailly? He would save us a fortune if he stayed fit.

He won't stay fit though, so there's no point hoping for him sadly. To put faith in him would be daft based on the evidence.

Bailly is basically the proverbial guide dog to Lindelof/Maguires blind man.

If the guide dog is there even a blind man can make it to his destination.

The kids will feature. You're just salty they're not starting. You're literally complainnig for no reason.

One of them should have started this game. We have nothing to lose at 4-0. It’s an overly cautious approach.

stu_1992 · Feb 25, 2021

Not much to report from that half. We're playing pretty much exactly how I'd expect at 4-0 up to be honest. They've looked like they wanted it a bit more, at least to get a result for pride.

Would like to see some youngsters get some significant minuyes in the second half.

Agreed. His all round game is better this year, but his work in the box isn’t up to his standard.

Bruno good only? Come on he almost had a goal and an assist mate.

When it's a Thursday, telling us about what games you have on this week shouldn't include games next Wednesday.

You may well be right but I can't be doing with the notion that there's no point making him first choice because he might get injured at some point in the future.

BT clutching at straws that Henderson was off his line

All the subs we have in a box to the right

Thanks. It’s not viewable on my iPhone. But on the laptop it’s right there.

There’s no obvious straight sub for Bruno, but if we brought on Diallo we could bring in Greenwood to a more central position.

After all, we’re just trying get through the next 45 minutes without incident.

Rustyspider13 · Feb 25, 2021

I didn't like the lineup tonight, but it's always a joy to watch the team play well. Apart from that brainless moment from James (matched equally by Oyarzabal) we've been comfortable. Should've had at least one goal either from Bruno or James.

My only worry is the midfield. Matic, while playing well, has looked a bit slow in some situations. It won't be a problem in this game, but if he has to start against Chelsea, I fear we'll get overrun. But that's for the weekend. Would like a clean sheet and minutes for Amad and Shoretire in the second half.

Manoucha09 · Feb 25, 2021

Need to take Matic off at half-time. Depending on how McT and VDB are on the weekend, looks like he'll be starting against Chelsea. Good chance to see Galbraith too.

A big if I guess, he is really good today though.

Hughie77 · Feb 25, 2021

Missed first 25 mins, but since then what I've seen been very good, James looks ok again, should have scored that header. Comfy so far let's see who he brings on in 2nd . Fred should come off I think the refs got it in for him so he wont hesitate to give him 2nd yellow. Amad on I would guess on about 60 mins let's see.

What's the ruling on that? Presumably the goalkeeper has to save the penalty in order for that to be penalized?

Making him first choice, as in not bothering to further invest and instead hope Bailly stays fit would be mad though, wouldn't it.

He is 19. He is playing a RW on most days he plays.
His overall game has improved. He is not scoring all of them nowadays though.

siw2007 · Feb 25, 2021

Lucky with the penalty, a little bit of nativity there from James. Otherwise decent first half. I expect to see some changes at the start of the 2nd half.
