"Cut through us with ease". "Not structured".
How on earth do you get one without the other?
Not you in particular but why are our own fans highlighting this game as if it was somehow a close and evenly tied match with out defense being a glaring problem area?
A few things:
Bornemouth play in the Premier League, they are not a BAD football team, regardless of their league position, on a good day they can beat anyone. Every team in the Premier League can beat any team if they're not playing well, that's happene multiple tims this season alone. Even Liverpool got a clobbering against Watford. And remember we lost to this team earlier in the season.
Their 1-0 goal was the first goal we've conceded in the Premier League in open play at Old Trafford in 500 minutes of gametime.
The penalty awarded was just a ridiculous "not in a million years" freak mistake.
Saying that Bornemouth was not structured is doing Manchester United a bit of a disservice. A Premier League team doesn't just become a mess of a pub team, they become that way because the other team are playing their socks off. Our midfield and wingbacks are playing out of their minds currently, and long may it continue.
We retained possession 72% of this game. With 15 shot attempts, 10 of which hit the goal, with 5 in the back of the net. To illustrate how much Bornemouth were struggling to contain us, they created 12 free kicks, most of which on their own half.
Yes they scored 2 goals, one from a penalty that is awarded once every 5 seasons because just how often is Eric Bailly going to just hands the ball on a pass back during normal play? The 1-0 goal was absolutely shoddy defending but I'm going to give them a pass for that, for the aforementioned 500 minutes of 0 goals conceded, and the 43-6 goal difference over the past 16 games.
