That pitch was horrendous to play in,Utd did well to get a result..
ForeverGiggs has had a nightmare here.Yeah this was nowhere near the dark days of true zombie passing, despite Ashley Young's best attempts to slow our play down and do nothing of note.
i dunnoForeverGiggs has had a nightmare here.
But this quote is also pretty shocking. Young set up some great chances in the first half.
So is the bolded part.ForeverGiggs has had a nightmare here.

I'm sure he put one in for Nani as well. Maybe off a set piece but Nani headed it wide.i dunno
Young was a little predictable
couldnt beat his man but turned inside and put in a few good inswinging balls
only one i remember being a chance was Hernandez fantastically improvised flick on that Cesar tipped over.
he's far from his best.
It was even worse today, as Fellaini's even less mobile than someone like Cleverley.Its back (did it ever really go away?).
Why do none of our players make any sort of forward movement? They just all stand there like, errrrm....zombies.
Our players were like table football bod's. There seemed to be twenty yards between all our midfielders besides Fellaini and Carrick and that didn't help cos neither got forward and they effectively stayed within a metre or two of each other.Its back (did it ever really go away?).

This. I had expected more running from Fellaini. I don't know if he's under orders but today he did his very best impression of Mikel having a 'mare.It was even worse today, as Fellaini's even less mobile than someone like Cleverley.
It'll feck off when Moyes starts playing non-zombies in football matches.Pleas feck off, this thread. Please feck off.
But decreasing the options our midfield itself gives is a sure-fire way to compound the problem.The problem today was the formation, we were to flat. This made us not beeing able to make use of the Space between Citys back four and midfield. We also should have played Kagawa and Nani, as we lacked creativity with Young, Welbeck and Valencia. Valencia is never using any space so that our midfield can pass to him in a position were he can come inside and turn, because he knows he will fail if he is not hugging the line. We should have played 451 with some better players.
The problem is not the passing in it self, it's the formation that gives our midfield few options or the same options every time they get the ball.
Kagawa is not going to make much difference. Like England, the problem is the poor movement and lack of clever runs. You could put Xavi in there but he's not going to do any better if everyone's just looking at him with the ball like a cnut. We had one out-ball today which was to ping it in the corner for a Valencia foot race against Kolarov.
That's exactly the problem. No clever runs into the box, no off the ball movement at all. Val and Young keep out on the sidelines, Welbz doesn't know what to do in the box at all and we are left with Rooney. Thats why players like RvP, Kagawa and Nani can be so important, they provide that movement into the boxKagawa is not going to make much difference.

I'd like to see Fabio getting a run at RB, and Smalling a shot at CB, where Ferdinand has been dreadful.I'd just like to point out that Chris Smalling was our most creative outlet from wide today.
Think about that for a moment. Chris Smalling. He did more going forward than Valencia, Young and Welbeck between them.
Boggles the mind.
He actually was too. We were actively trying to get our dangerman Smalling in. He did ok to be honest.I'd just like to point out that Chris Smalling was our most creative outlet from wide today.

Created our biggest chance with the cross that fell to Rooney.He actually was too. We were actively trying to get our dangerman Smalling in. He did ok to be honest.
This 'The Walking Dead' theory actually has some legs. Here's some other similarities with us right now:Our play yesterday could've been a scene from the TV series walking dead, it was just so slow, predictable and our passing was all in straight lines and we seriously lacked creativity.
Wonder who you are referring to here....Young?This 'The Walking Dead' theory actually has some legs. Here's some other similarities with us right now:
- After a strong pilot, things went downhill fast
- Infuriating characters you wish would just die get way too much screen time even after three seasons
- When a good episode finally comes along and gets your hopes up that things might have changed, it's followed by a terrible one
- Just when you think the showrunner might have a plan for the season, it becomes clear that he doesn't, and the season is cratering through bewildering plotting
- It's still one of the most popular shows around the world despite its lack of any entertainment
Still, it could be worse; at least we're not Dexter.
