He was like a new signing…for Leeds.I missed the game. What happened with Fred?

It tells you that the players had zero belief that Weghorst would get on the end of them.Laughable we only really started putting crosses in when Weggy went off.
Yeah shite start to halves cost us two points,need to bloody well wake up a bit earlierWhy in the feck do we not play with the intensity of between our first and second goal from the start?
Threw it away at the start of both halves.
DAMN why didn't Erik start himSancho changed the game. Fred was garbage.
Garnacho I thought was OK, I was just baffled why he's starting on the left over a player who's got nearly 20 goals in half a season. A league game with our midfield already missing is not the time to deliberately nullify our best attacking player with some kind of pointless experiment.Good thing that we fought our way back with substitutions that were spot on, but I have to focus on the main negatives within the team today.
To tell you the truth, none of those aforementioned names should start on Sunday. They can try their luck as substitutes, but it's a big "no" when it comes to starting matches. We have to crush that lot at all costs on Sunday.
- Weghorst... I have seen bad strikers in my lifetime, but seeing someone that is not capable of doing the basics right is infuriating. He should not start matches if he can't make the Ds on the other side work.
- Fred... That was one of his worst performances as a Manchester United player. He played as if he did not learn a single thing under Ten Hag. I was honestly tempted to replace him with Mainoo during the match.
- Garnacho... His decision-making was just horrible when it mattered. I know that he's still young, but he did not make a good case for himself today. I thought he's a leftie, no? Shoot with the left!
- Dalot... First game since a long injury layoff. I know there's the concept of getting him back to full game fitness, but I disagree with the idea of playing this long on his return. It showed that he was vulnerable defensively today. A case of asking too much too soon.
I believe Garnacho is right footed. Not saying that he should not be capable of hitting the open net with his left.Good thing that we fought our way back with substitutions that were spot on, but I have to focus on the main negatives within the team today.

We came back from 2-0 and your takeaway is a weak mentality? Our team has no depth; the second we lose a member of the manager's preferred XI, we struggle. That's the issue.Shite performance, lucky to get a draw...no build up play at all...just cross after cross, hoofing it up to Rashford every chance they got. The mentality these players have is awful...they came in thinking they were going to stroll right through Leeds. Lucky to get a point.
Great game. There's only so many first team players you can miss before it gets difficult, and that point was reached tonight. Antony, Eriksen, Casemiro and Martial were all sorely missed. Not that their replacements Garnacho, Sabitzer or Weghorst did all that bad but one is a youngster and the others loanies. Fred... I respect him for not giving up. He kept on going and fixed some of his own awful mistakes. But he was not feeling it tonight at all. If there was any half decent replacement he would've been off at half time.
Ten Hag has an interesting hand of substitutions. Taking of Sabitzer and Dalot communicates that he never loses sight of the long term. It's vital for us that these two players remain fit, more so than winning or even drawing this one game. That said, not making any substitution at half time might've invited the second goal. Hard to say in the end, and even harder to say beforehand.
Sancho did everything right. Clever, assured, creative. Great to have him back.
I'm ready to join your club.Mate I fecking feel like the old man in here with a bunch of spoiled fecking teenagers who bitch and moan at absolutely everything.
No one can deny that but at least they came back. With a few better players we'd won that game.2-2 To Leeds at home. Not good ebough.
Top post.I loved it!
Yeah United made mistakes, a few key players missing in midfield made it difficult for United to play their usual style...but it was pure excitement!
Second leg at the weekend.
You need to try and enjoy watching the team...far to many worry about who is to blame or what the xG was...just enjoy the ride.
Yeah absolutely fuming at such sloppinessWhy in the feck do we not play with the intensity of between our first and second goal from the start?
Threw it away at the start of both halves.
Who in particular?Fecking joke. Can't wait to sell this lot.
Yeah this is even worse bounce than Villa as he is literally a caretaker,at least Emery was an experienced managerCan every team please stop sacking their manager just before our games please?
Sorry to break this to you but not signing 6 players across midfield and attack this summerWe need a few midfielders, 2 quality strikers and 1 backup striker, at least.
Agree I didn't watch the match but watching the highlights he must have created like 5,6 scoring chances. And all very good chances I'd say. He should at least had one assist if our finishing wasn't that bad. Especially the ones with Garnacho.Bruno created a lot of chances today. On the ball he wasn't wasteful, he was constantly trying to push the team forward. I get that some people don't like him here, but he's consistently creating chances for us and imo playing well.
And who plays then.Fecking joke. Can't wait to sell this lot.
Because Martial is made of weetabix and Rashford is generally better off the left,however carried a threat down the middle when Jadon came onGood comeback in fairness but feck me what were we doing at the start of both halves. Also why is Weghorst starting games for us
Sadly Glazers didn't want to pay feeFred has a bad foot and a worse foot. Not sure which is which.
feck the Glazers. We should have had Felix as an option instead of that useless static lump of a Burnely striker. But people were telling me how his loan was too expensive.
Another thing that's not been mentioned about our sluggish start to both halves today. We played almost 40 minutes with a man down against the Palace cnuts and we know our players were already tired. Leeds just caught us cold but this is what happens when you have no depth.
Think they would adapt betterTake out our rivals starting
Striker
Two centre mids
Right winger
spurs/Newcastle/arsenal/Liverpool
do you honestly think any team but city could come with that ?
Yeah, it will be really interesting to see what Amad can add to the squad next season. Hope you're right about Pellistri.He has good balance on the ball. He's actually difficult to get off the ball and is quite direct. He's like an old school winger and with that balance and agility could be very dangerous if strength and decision making come along.
Out of all of them, Amad is the one i'm excited about though. He's the one I can see pushing Antony.
