Hard to understand why that was so poor. Thankfully we won, but surely got to do much better. We'll struggle to get past Brentford if we play like this on Tuesday.
Not really.Not really. We were lucky a Norwich player did something so stupid in the box. It doesn't usually happen. It's quite rare, hence it being lucky imo.
I guess I mean as in we’re lucky they’ve done that. The ball was over Ronaldo’s head. We’ve not scored a goal from our own good play.Not sure how it was a lucky goal? Blatant penalty.
Meh. Every penalty is lucky then I guess.I guess I mean as in we’re lucky they’ve done that. The ball was over Ronaldo’s head. We’ve not scored a goal from our own good play.
Most pessimistic post I’ve seen from you after a win. Wonder what’s changed…
Well not the only positive. McFred both look MUCH better in this system. That's a big plus. Lindelof also good since Ralf arrived. When it's all flux, you take what you can.Only positive is another clean sheet.
Bruno can not work in this formation with his lack of positional discipline and tactically he is too much of a maverick that wants to do his own thing to work in RR system.
Nope, I have Goal Psychokinesis! @Hectic can vouch for me.That performance may have sent this guy to the mental asylum...
Not really. Sometimes you’re twisting the defender inside and out so your skill makes him foul you. Or some good passing in the box has them stretching. This was an over hit cross and someone was pulled down off the ball.Meh. Every penalty is lucky then I guess.
It was at least a yard behind where it should be, the connection Ronaldo gets is because he leaves his leg outstretched to even get a touch.Come on it was not a poor ball. It's not perfect but any good striker should be able to bury that chance. He wasn't even marked. Watch it again and you'd see.
Tbh I don't get the harsh comments for Rashford this match. He was really lively and was actually the only one managed to dribble past a Norwich defender, several times. Especially the one by the end of the match when he dribbled past a Norwich defender then pass to Ronaldo.
Agree with you completely that Rashford was very poor again tonight, but did you watch Lingard on Wednesday night? He couldn't be arsed.Our front 4 doesn’t do enough work on and off the ball. That’s fine when you’re Ronaldo and you get the goals. Rashford, Bruno and Sancho have to do a helluva lot more work. And all of their passing at times is awful.
I’d give Rashford a 0/10 performance today. I don’t think he made a pass to a United player all game. We had 4 big chances had he made the right pass but he kept playing it too short or long. What I don’t understand is he never seems to get subbed or dropped for being so poor. I feel like Lingard could offer a lot more a present.
I’m not saying Lingard is the answer to all our problems but with Ronaldo you need runners around him. At least Lingard tries to press and puts pressure on the defence. Rashford barely runs when we have the ball let alone when we don’t. I can’t wait for Cavani to come back.Agree with you completely that Rashford was very poor again tonight, but did you watch Lingard on Wednesday night? He couldn't be arsed.
Lingard isn't the answer, he'll be gone in January.I’m not saying Lingard is the answer to all our problems but with Ronaldo you need runners around him.

That ball was not perfect, if it's perfect it should have arrived at his right feet. It however arrived at his left. He still had the time to shoot it with his left, not only "even get a touch".

If he'd hit a brick wall he might have been to yeah.That ball was not perfect, if it's perfect it should have arrived at his right feet. It however arrived at his left. He still had the time to shoot it with his left, not only "even get a touch". Watch again and you'd see.
Granted our front 3 were poor today, but there were problems across the board. De Gea needed to make 3 excellent saves today. Norwich had 70% of the ball after we scored and we had 1 shot on target in the 2nd half. The 2nd half display was worrying. As poor as we've been in 1st halves this season is how bad we were today in that 2nd half against Norwich, a team sitting bottom of the table. The confidence of our forwards looked shot, Rashford in particular has zero confidence right now and Ronnie looked totally off it.The issue today was with Bruno, Rashford and Ronaldo.
If any one of them has a decent game we win this by a few. All we off form and gave the ball away. When your forwards are that poor collectively any team will come unstuck over 90 minutes.
The rest were all okay I thought with DDG, Lindelof, Fred and Mctominay pretty good.
If your forwards constantly give the ball away and offer you nothing over 90 minutes then the rest of the team will struggle.Granted our front 3 were poor today, but there were problems across the board.

Honestly, watching that today has me concerned.
