I have no worries as Ole is readying his game-changing subs for the 85th minute.
It’s straight off the training ground whatever the case. They put Vestegaard elsewhere and sent the other beanpole on the mission this time instead.Wasn't the last one from the recycled corner back in, that at least was clever movement from Vestergaard. This was just a simple near post flick on
No, lets not.That’s certainly one option. Being completely forgetful is another.
Or just having a knee jerk. Easy to forget we’ve won like 7 away games in a row. Let’s not mention home form though.
Everybody was saying not to give set pieces away around the box and what do we do.De Gea did poorly for the corner but the freekick was not on him. That was Fred's fault.
Only really remember Greenwood running around the keeper and pouncing on the goalie mistake, it’s not enough. The forward pair have got to take some of the blame, they are blowing too hot and cold in the match, but the delivery into the box is poor and there is little penetration with our passes.We got the ball to our forwards often enough, and in good goal-scoring positions too, but they failed to convert their chances.
Same old story, we're shocking in front of goal.
It looks worse when we deliberately set up to play this way.We never have any width anyway. That's nothing new.
Agreed. Second goal was perfect but for the first goal, the basic rule is that you clean everyone out to get to that ball, Schmeichel style.First goal he's to blame for me, the second one not sure what he could have done.
No one is at fault apart from fred for giving away the fk.Maguire isn't at fault for any of the goals here. He's looked fine. 2 quite incredible set pieces and 2 goals.
Fred lunging in desperately is one of his specialities, he gives away daft clumsy free kicks so often.Everybody was saying not to give set pieces away around the box and what do we do.
But how he (or any other gk) can reach that ball?? It is not even on first post.It's the other way round. The FK was un-saveable, it's literally gone in next to the post. The Corner he is stood there like a year 3 playing in net vs year 11s. He's so weak in the commanding the box, luckily the rest of his game propels him up.
But that does not mean we are a shambles. As I said we are not good enough to miss chances and expect to beat a good team like Southampton.That’s the point. It’s not like we should expect another glut of chances after that. Those are the chances you simply must take at this level against a solid PL outfit like Southampton or you get punished. We’re naive at best, feeble in reality.
Yep. Mostly just hoof the ball. Non existent on the right side, with AWB as worse player on the pitch. And Rashford and Greenwood were on their period, Bruno couldn't get involve because it's all chaotic play.I don't think we've been good at all. Both our chances were courtesy of mistakes... And whilst we battled okay before their goal we weren't really doing a lot.
After the first goal we've been shocking.
Yep.Fred lunging in desperately is one of his specialities, he gives away daft clumsy free kicks so often.
If I was manager Bruno would have been given the captaincy with Maguire’s Greek incident. Guilty or not he shouldn’t have put himself into that situation.He's not captain material. Why is Bruno not our captain?
Keane making that point right now "sloppy" "my eyes don't lie to me". Savaged him.Yeah that’s another possibility, could just be another thing to add to a long list of stupid things done by Fred.
In fairness to Solskjaer today, he has one option on the bench.I have no worries as Ole is readying his game-changing subs for the 85th minute.
You'd put an 18 year old who's only just finding his feet in the youth team in a senior game? Brilliant.Such games we need someone with low center of gravity, someone who can run and dribble with the ball, someone who can invite fouls. Someone like Pellistri.
We are going to kidnap their manager.What is our plan exactly?
His team has done very little wrong though to be fair. Fred fouling from behind was stupid, but other than that we got beaten by world class precision, twiceI can't get away from the feeling that the likes of Bielsa, Klopp, Rodgers, even Hasenhüttl would get a better tune from these instruments than Ole and co. Ole just looks lost watching this game.
Watch literally any other keeper in the league and they come for that, why shouldn't he?
He's 6ft 4, can use his hands and will probably get a free-kick anyway if challenged whilst going for it.
It's common sense/basic goalkeeping.
If it was just a one off then fair enough but this is every single time a cross comes near him.
He may as well go and have a coffee break when a cross comes near him, because people think it's ok to just stand there like a statue anyway.
everyone blaming fred but loads of players give away free kicks there. not a huge fan of fred but just because they get a free kick shouldn't guarantee a goal but as soon as I saw the swall set up and where ddg was standing, I knew it was inNo one is at fault apart from fred for giving away the fk.
Rushford maybe but why is he on a cb to begin with
