Wrong lineup, poor tactics, some seriously bad luck and absolutely horrendous refereeing. Don't want to sound like we lost this because of the inept ref, but that guy should get some prison time for that shiitshow.
You're literally posting in it.How does one find the post match thread when logged in? For some reason it only appears when I am not.
There were many posters on here saying they didn't want to sign a striker like Mandzukic (spell?) or that they'd rather get rid of Lukaku and Sanchez so that none of them could take mintues from Greenwood.Pogba and Mctom combo are not the answer in midfield. Greenwood is not ready. Lingard was horrendous again.
We had similar games last season and Lukaku coming off the bench was the difference between ending the game with no points or at least one. That's why I didn't want us to sell him. The same goes for Fellaini.Yeah all those great players we sold....
Bang average. But we never invested enough in midfield, no creativity. And de Gea with another brain fart of a mistake.
Indeed. That was utterly irresponsible by us.Yeah since then we have been selling players without replacing them. Sell Fellaini, sell Herrera, sell Lukaku and then replace them with no one but fans will be happy because oh Fellaini and Lukaku play ugly football so we can sell them without replacing them at all. This is on Woodward. We should have got a creative midfielder and a striker in summer after selling those players, because whatever we like or hate them, they were options from the bench at least.
Because I don't have high expectations as I know that we are not good enough, we need at least 3 players who would be starters and I don't know why anyone would expect us to be really good. But this game wasn't so bad, especially 2nd half. It just didn't go our way (yes, there were mistakes, like Lingard staying on for that long and I think that Lindelof should be dropped for Smalling, but fine, but we still should have won this game concidering what happend on the pitch).Brave being positive in this thread
Criminal. Absolutely criminal. Against a team like Crystal palaceWe had 3 shots on target. What a disgrace.
Lingard is a headless chicken who made us play with 10 men. We should have put Andreas in his place.Lingard hasn’t scored a goal in what, half a year? probably well over that, that’s Man United’s starting no.10 for you.
We can’t possibly be playing a defensive no.10 week in week out, absolutely nothing player, might as well play Fred in there.
I logged out in order to find it, then logged in again, so that I could post this question.You're literally posting in it.
Are you Jesse Lingard?
I'm still surprised we beat Chelsea.Sign a striker to replace Lukaku? No
Sign a midfielded to play with Pogba and McTominay? No
Sign a number 10? No
Surprised with 4 points from 3 games? No
True especially in the Wolves game but we shouldn’t be relying on pens against Palace at home.Dropping 3 points due to pissed penalties is unexpected
Honestly well summed up pal . It's going to be another loan depressing season at OTWrong lineup, poor tactics, some seriously bad luck and absolutely horrendous refereeing. Don't want to sound like we lost this because of the inept ref, but that guy should get some prison time for that shiitshow.
Agree with you on this. Lingard is rubbish plain and simple. Would rather Fred and Mctominay sit back with Pogba in the hole.Horrible game. we really need Pogba further forward, there is no creativity without him.
Also Play Fred deeper, start with Gomes or mata. Do anything but for the love of god drop Lingard.
We clearly aren’t but individual errors keep messing us up. We never seem to raise our level against the lower teams until it’s too late.Cursed or just have a really shit team? I'm going for the latter.
How so?3 wins in 15...
Fully agreed. We will finish top 8, maybe reach quarter final of the Europa League.Our form since the end of last season is relegation form. Fans felt a summer pre-season would iron out the creases and we'd hit the ground running. Well guess what, same shit different season - same fecking personnel.
Want to know why we seem like mid-table fodder most of the time? Below are some regular starting 11 names:
Luke Shaw
Victor Lindelof
Scott McTominay
Jesse Lingard
Daniel James (sorry kid, at present you are a mid-table standard winger - that might not always be the case)
MANAGER: - Ole Gunnar Solksjaer
When 50% of your starting 11 and your manager would not be out of place at West Ham United or similar, you should not expect anything more than WHU standard performances and results. I say that as WHU win 1-3 away from home today but you get my sentiment.
When your substitute bench contains:
Juan Mata
Ashley Young
Nemanja Matic
And 17 yr old kid who is supposed to be a major game-changer.
I don't know what to tell you.
This is a mid-table squad, managed by a mid-table manager.
Strap in and be prepared to finish 8th.
Exactly.. Bet Lukaku is p*ssing himself, first time in my life I've been fed up with what united are dishing up. Absolutely shocking today.We are a 6th-7th placed team who retained our aged players while letting a midfielder and striker go without replacements.
These kind of results match our ambitions
He wasn't in his own half he was half way into the opponents half.Until Pogba stops doing all the drag bags in his own half, i cannot see how can play in the deeper roll.
He loses possession more times than the rest of the team together.
Possession does not win games, its goals.
Its going to be a rollercoaster of a season if teams like palace can win at OT
