What a debacle for the first home game!
First 15 minutes look like a Sunday league pub side who have spent all the previous night on the 'p**s.
I've watched United for over fifty years and we have had some poor starts to seasons, but yesterday was a new low. The worse offence was very few of our players really sought space, even when we were doing marginally better, right from the word go, it was almost like we were playing 'statues' " I know lets make it dead easy for Palace and go and stand next to our marker," certainly Rashford did, he rarely left the full backs side in the first half, he did attempt to move about 'a bit' in the second.
I bet Scholesy watching that was crying like a baby,. Palace had a tight defence no doubts, but in the second half on their left side space opened up a few times in and around the five yards outside their box, nobody made an attempt to get in there until Donny came on and his first six or seven touches (including the goal) were all 'one touch' plays.
Ole was at least honest after the game, apart from Donny's performance no positives to take away except perhaps one, on another day we could have lost 5-1, easily!
