Matic is a disaster in 2 man midfield. Have no idea why are we doing this. Just bring Martial and go 433 please

You know how to play against Arsenal at Emirates. Just pack the midfield and give them no space. Embarrassed we are bottling it.

He really is a liability right now. I’m sure I’ve watched him give possession away like 10 times, and let people walk past him

 

[Adnan]

Rashford has been poor but I'd still keep him on for his pace. Martial needs to be brought on..

 

[Murder on Zidane's Floor]

carragher is right. it did move when it got the the pen spot

It's swerved like a mothereffer, late as well and if he's committed then it's a goal. These things happen and he's the world's best keeper, any keeper mistake is a goal. That's how it is.

 

[Tomuś]

Sourness you salty cnut leave off will you! You take a wage for this bile!

He's right with one thing. How on earth nobody marks or does his best to close down Xhaka?

 

[sp_107]

MCT for Matic and Martial for Young (Dalot as RB) should do the trick

 

[Charles Miller]

Rashford and Fred awful. Lukaku our best player so far by a distance.

Feck these jammy feckers. He create 3 huge chances we fail to score from and they score from a shitty shot that De Gea fecks up badly

Fred was one of the best players in the pitch. Was excellent in the link play, made some of the best passes after Pogba and started almost all counter attacks. Rashford had some mistakes in the final ball but he is moving everywhere and is no way "awful".

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

We’re winning it 3-2. We got this.

Cough 1:3

 

[Heinzesight]

SkySports pushing that 'through the lenses' technology is so fecking cringeworthy.

I wonder how much they paid to have that.

It’s pointless shite.

 

[Andycoleno9]

I blame all you feckers who predicted us to win by 3 or 4 goals. You jinxed us. This was never going to be an easy game for us and those misses by Rom could potentially cost us top 4. I hope we do better in the second.

We are better team. We just didn't score our chances. Even if they win, they are not good enough to win more games than us in the rest of the season.
But we will not lose today

 

[noodlehair]

Every time we use this silly diamond formation we end up having to change. It's getting to the point where you start to wonder if the coaching staff understand what they are watching.

Also the referee is unacceptably fat. He's not even keeping up with the game

 

[Random Task]

Be very very annoyed to lose this. Hopefully we come out and go at them, because they look beyond shaky at the back.

They really do.

Rashford has been horribly wasteful in the final third but his movement up top is creating openings constantly.

I'm confident if we score one, we'll go on to win the game comfortably.

 

[Art]

We've lost most of the second balls to them and our midfield is dominated. Not sure how weve been the better side.

 

[JJ12]

It's funny and amazing (as well as true) that McTominay should be coming on got Matic

 

[Water Melon]

We rode our lack a bit in Paris, now lady luck is riding us. Still shocked by a stinker from DDG, he is not confident mentally.

 

[Bastian]

We've lost most of the second balls to them and our midfield is dominated. Not sure how weve been the better side.

That's what I saw too.

 

[Fracture90]

I would take Lukaku off for Martial and put Rashford upfront .

 

[deadrevelz]

Dont stop what?

Being Lukaku's agent. He's done a few good things this half, also made a few mistakes including a near open goal miss.

 

[M Bison]

Definitely more goals in this, just hope they go our way but we hardly look impenetrable.

Whoever gets the next goal should go on and win.

 

[Leftback99]

Always surprised at the pre match predictions on here, over 75% thinking we'd win. It was always going to be a hard game which we were unlikely to win.

 

[BrianMcClair'sBarnet]

Didn't have any hope for top 4 when Ole arrived and I accepted that.So I dont have any expectation for top 4 now even though we've gone on a tremendous run.
Every expectation I had was past this season.

I Just wanted to enjoy watching United again.

 

[Problem-free Philosophy]

Big mistake from De Gea thinking that Xhaka is good enough to kick the ball where he's aiming

 

[stu_1992]

We were truly horrible to begin with. No fight and couldn't put a pass together. It was awful stuff to watch. Thankfully we grew into the game a bit, but we really couldn't have been worse than the start. Bizarre goal. Clearly a mistake by De Gea, and I've no idea how you'd explain that. We need to continue to create chances, we'll get the goals we need eventually.

 

[Judas]

I would take Lukaku off for Martial and put Rashford upfront .

They can't handle Lukaku at all, why on earth would you take him off.

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

He's right with one thing. How on earth nobody marks or does his best to close down Xhaka?

I think you missed the main point, don't worry!

 

[montpelier]

Arsenal have been better but their defence looks appalling.

I can't believe we've had the chances we have but every time we get forward it looks promising.

I believe the shot goes across DDGs eyeline & then swerves further away again. He is therefore completely wrongfooted & it looks awful. It is awful. really.

 

[Bastian]

We rode our lack a bit in Paris, now lady luck is riding us. Still shocked by a stinker from DDG, he is not confident mentally.

He's confident physically.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Ole never changes at half time. So in 70th minute Martial is coming on

 

[Jazz]

I blame all you feckers who predicted us to win by 3 or 4 goals. You jinxed us. This was never going to be an easy game for us and those misses by Rom could potentially cost us top 4. I hope we do better in the second.

 

[mav_9me]

We've lost most of the second balls to them and our midfield is dominated. Not sure how weve been the better side.

We may not have been the better side but we have easily created enough chances to be level. Came back well towards the last 15-20 mins

 

[VP89]

Every time we use this silly diamond formation we end up having to change. It's getting to the point where you start to wonder if the coaching staff understand what they are watching.

Also the referee is unacceptably fat. He's not even keeping up with the game

It's quite obvious the formation isn't the issue today. Our players just look extremely slow and lethargic. Second to everything.

Arsenal haven't really found any holes to exploit in our formation and we haven't struggled to get them under pressure either, despite effort levels looking at 65%.

 

[Kapardin]

We've lost most of the second balls to them and our midfield is dominated. Not sure how weve been the better side.

We improved when Ole changed the shape. I do agree that we need more control but it's a personnel problem rather than tactical. Rashford and Matic need to be subbed off for Martial and McTominay.

 

[ghagua]

Take off Matic and bring on McTominay. Keep Rashford on for now but bring on Martial.

 

[morbidsaint]

You can hardly call it a mistake from de Gea. That ball is just plain weird. Happens once in a while. I am far more worried about our two in midfield.. Arsenal makes ONE pass from their own half and they are at our 16 yard box.

 

[RonaldoVII]

I would take Lukaku off for Martial and put Rashford upfront .

So you'd take off our in form striker who has 6 goals in his last 3 games and leave on Rashford who looks knackered and off form?

 

[KennyBurner]

Bring on Martial but keep Lukaku and Rash on. Rashford always finds a way to redeem himself on shite days

Leave him on and he scores a goal to draw the game or remove him which creates more chances for us to score 3 goals and win the game. Very tough decision.

 

[arnie_ni]

I thought they were going to at least replay the goal through that view but they don't even do that.

Fecking weird.

Yea, they didnt even follow through with it. Its like its only half developed

 

[Handré1990]

I thought they were going to at least replay the goal through that view but they don't even do that.

Fecking weird.

Yeah, what was that all about? Zoomed in quicly to see it from de Gea’s perspective, and then it was over before Xhaka shot.

 

[Fracture90]

They can't handle Lukaku at all, why on earth would you take him off.

He can't handle himself either by the looks of it.

 

[Manny]

starting in a 4-4-2 was a bad idea.

Pogba should have been moved central sooner

 

[Andycoleno9]

It's funny and amazing (as well as true) that McTominay should be coming on got Matic

Nope. Matic is playing good.

 

[peridigm]

I would take Lukaku off for Martial and put Rashford upfront .

Lukaku is in better form.
