Rashford, Elanga, and Bruno have all been quite poor today
Manchester United 0:1 Atletico Madrid (Sat 30th July, 12:45 UK time)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
That was an enjoyable thread thanks to @Rams , I second thisThink I'm going back to watching without the thread. Cafe hasn't changed a bit.
Wish our games were behind close doors so our match day thread can have @Rams dropping jokes every page.
Much better than constantly hearing how shite this player or that player is.
Elanga overcooking quite a few attacks.
Elanga never seems to want to pass first up, always wants to run with the ball and then loses the opportunity to pass :/
Bruno really doesn't pay enough attention before making a pass. It always seems that it's a pass for someone who isn't there.
We're missing Sancho. Elanga is so lightweight.
Elanga...
Great stuff from Lindelof there.
What a terrible silly post.
Sheesh.
Must be frustrating to play with Elanga.
Also we're ridiculously sloppy in attack.
Also we're ridiculously sloppy in attack.
He's a good finisher as well. More suited to playing as a wide forward rather than a winger, though. It's unfortunate he fluffed that one good chance.
With VAR that would 100% been a pen.
James was faster and worker harderElanga really is the reincarnation of Daniel James in a United shirt isn't he?
Dafuq, referee? Clumsy defending by the Atletico player.
With VAR it probably gets given I’d say.
the memes say otherwise, so obviously thats not true!
Clear pen that
Ehh, whatever. One of those that need a 1000 VAR replays but I don't mind that.
James was a lot better imo.Elanga really is the reincarnation of Daniel James in a United shirt isn't he?
Now the ref is just letting everything go
ATHleti
Hate these "Gonna kick the ball without looking/knowing where my teammates are, let's see what happens" from Bruno.
The way we move and press the opposition is lovely. But some of the touches and decision making in the final third has been really poor.
Elanga is pretty poor.
I'll die on this hill
I mean, how many fecking kicks do they want to get in to Martial's legs.
Doesnt look good
Doesnt look good
Not the best performance today. Sancho is missed in the attack
Get up Martial!
He has his moments but there's too many mistakes in him. Fernandes hasn't been great but some of his passes into space are where you'd expect Elanga to be running into and he doesn't. And then when he finally gets the ball he either cocks up his touch or pass.
When the game is slower he's fine I guess but I just don't think he's cut out to be in the starting line up. It's a shame because he seems a decent bloke and there's clearly a talented players in there somewhere.
We do look better but the quality of these players are just too low to be competing with the best of them.
Signings needed badly and now

This lot can’t even go a single minute without some kind of foul.
Think we've been really poor in this half, similar to 2nd half against Villa
Please do, just don't drag us with you. Cheers.
Quite a team they're subbing on
Their first team coming on
How can anyone like these fecking Atletico rats...dirty cnuts, all of them. Not one likeable team from the big Spanish trio
For the Bruno debate, I'd say he screws up a few times and creates excellently a few times. He's a risk/reward player and I'm okay with it. I don't think he's had a terrible or great game today. We judge him to a high standard due to his first season, combine that with the risk/reward playstyle and you'll always see divisive views. I like a bit of risk/reward in our attack, personally, over playing it safer like we did under Mourinho.
Fecking hacking away at him.
Not bad depth eh
