How fucking long has our tactic been sending crosses and long balls?? Why the fuck can't we play good football? YOU TOLD ME VAN GAAL WAS THE ISSUE!!

[–]qdatk 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

We have no attacking plan at all. We all laughed when Mourinho said he didn't know where Pogba was playing against Southampton, but he wasn't kidding.

There is no sense to our midfield: What is a combination of Pogba, Fellaini, and Rooney supposed to do? We (should) have decent energy and risk from Pogba and Rooney, but then you'd want some calm and intelligence from a third midfielder, which isn't Fellaini's game at all.

What were Rashford and Martial supposed to do aside from "be good and run with the ball"? There's no tactical plan for getting them space to run into or to run behind. What's Ibrahimovic supposed to do? At the moment, we're just using him as a target man, but neither of our wide players are good crossers, and there's no link up between Ibra and the central midfield at all. None of it makes any sense.

Fuck Michael Oliver

[–]PoppinKREAM 56ポイント57ポイント  (5子コメント)

Fuck the commentators too saying that wasn't a foul. It was clear as day

[–]Worst_smurf_NAFergie's hairdryer 11ポイント12ポイント  (2子コメント)

It's so frustrating when they say something with absolute certainty, then they see the replay 4 times and go "I'll have to have one more look at it I guess" and 6 more replays later, NOW they're unsure but they'll stick with their original assessment. Fuck's sake man, I spotted that he took out the man THEN the ball the first time, and I don't get paid for this..

[–]PoppinKREAM 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Commentator asked his partner, after several replays, if he still believed it was a foul. Fellow commentator words "yes I believe it was a completely clean tackle". Who the fuck pays these commentators, the English FA so the refs don't receive any sort of criticism? Smh

[–]IwanJones10Pogba 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Exactly as BOLASIE's goal vs Middlesbrough. BT said it was Lukakus and he didn't get a touch.

It's only Lukakus now because they decided in the changing room

[–]sepehrackMartial Madness 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

There was the one by Capoue too. Clearly threw his leg back to catch Pogba right by the box

[–]BBQ_HaX0rStannis the Mannis 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

This (un)luck has to start a balancing out. We've been absurdly unlucky the past few fixtures.

[–]tocitusMemphis 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

Oliver has been dreadful today so far. Giving soft free kicks and ignoring ones like the taking out of Martial or Rashford being blocked and pushed down off the ball.

I'm more worried about how poor the football has been again though.

[–]sepehrackMartial Madness 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's true. As bad as he's been, it's not like we're playing fluid football anyway. Hoping for the best in the second half

[–]Coola_BananerMartial 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

[–]StathamIsYourSaviorPaul Scholes 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's his smug fucking attitude that i hate. Has a take-no-shit attitude but somehow, everytime hes in charge of our game he fucks shit up the cunt

[–]DeniedDestiny 29ポイント30ポイント  (8子コメント)

The impact of not having Carrick, or a player like Carrick, in the team is glaring.

[–]Kiddcohen39Bailly 17ポイント18ポイント  (5子コメント)

Very much so. God how much I'd be willing to spend on a 26 year old Carrick atm.

[–]CveinMemphis & Martial 16ポイント17ポイント  (2子コメント)

Or give Blind a shot at midfield.

Or Basti...

[–]Kiddcohen39Bailly 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'd try Blind. Mobility can't be much worse than Fellaini really and he can pick a pass better than most. Still not quite the same as Carrick though.

[–]SpudsMcGugan 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

yep, blind can tackle and intercept as well as pass, let smalling go in for the headers in that deep midfield area

[–]GustenBarretteSAF 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

hard to find a player with that good defensive awareness and with such an eye for a pass. maybe busquets? but he'd be incredibly hard to get

[–]Kiddcohen39Bailly 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Lol, we'll never sniff Busquests. I would break world records for him ;)))). No but in all seriousness there are maybe five players in the world less likely.

[–]PoppinKREAM 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yep, we're really lacking a playmaking center midfielder who can pass the ball out from the back. Blind covered that role slightly while slotting in as a cb, but he'd be exposed in a match against taller attackers such as Watfords

[–]CveinMemphis & Martial 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Didn't he do fine with TFM against Watford last season?

[–]soma40Carrick 9ポイント10ポイント  (1子コメント)

Carrick please.

[–]JoblessMuch 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Who would you take off though? Carrick, if he comes on, would play in the Fellaini role and we'd have to see Fellaini pushed up the field again or taken off.. He's been one of our best players on the pitch in his role.

[–]Takley 67ポイント68ポイント  (18子コメント)

Not impressed with Mourinho so far at all.

This team has no plan, no cohesion, no tactics, it's just 11 players put on a pitch with no clue how to play. Going to have to improve massively for us to do anything decent this season. He had the money and the time, he got what he wanted, yet Pep and Citys performances are absolutely shitting on him so far.

[–]Pog6ack 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

This team has no plan, no cohesion, no tactics, it's just 11 players put on a pitch with no clue how to play.

Indeed. A shit plan is better than no plan.

[–]Twoezy 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

2nd half against city vs what we just witnessed, I think the players need to get their shit together more than the managers fault. David and Mike summed it up for me, wtf was that.

[–]Zidane-TribalPogba 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

It hurts me to say, but this is the truth. I mean I love Jose, but at this point no one is doing their job right.

[–]JayDevilK1993 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Inclined to agree. The players are there, positions we've been screaming to be addressed finally filled, yet for 3 straight games now I see a bunch of talented players start the game running around aimlessly. He often addresses 1st half problems but by then we are chasing the game.

There are no excuses for not having a good year this year. Simply none. Couldn't have hoped for a better window so I hope he finds a way to get the best out of Pogba / Ibra / Rashford sooner rather than later.

[–]franbatista123 -2ポイント-1ポイント  (13子コメント)

It's not the only problem, but Rooney is the biggest issue, he's not good enough as a 10 or in the midfield, but everyone knows that already. Having someone play either in the midfield or a 10 in his place would be so much better and bring more cohesion to the team. Either Carrick to manage the tempo or a proper 10 (Mkhi, Mata).

[–]Takley 10ポイント11ポイント  (3子コメント)

Having someone play either in the midfield or a 10 in his place would be so much better and bring more cohesion to the team.

Yep just like our fantastic 4-3-3 performance against Feyenoord

[–]franbatista123 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

Many players played for the first time in a long time, it's normal that they didn't perform well enough, a 4-3-3 with the best team available would be a different story

[–]MrMahonyHerrera 6ポイント7ポイント  (1子コメント)

[–]thisisastupidnameDarmian[S] -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's not all Rooney. Mou just does not seem to have a solid plan for the midfield yet. Doesn't help that we don't have any good passers besides a 34 year old Carrick.

[–]clumsy__runnerRooney -2ポイント-1ポイント  (1子コメント)

FFS shitting on Rooney is such an easy excuse

[–]spoofexKing Cantona 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Dropping him would be easier though. At some point or another it's not an easy excuse, it's an obvious one.

[–]BBQ_HaX0rStannis the Mannis 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

There was a time when Zlatan won the ball and tried to drop it off behind him and Rooney was too slow coming from deep and costed us a chance at the top of the box. He's either too slow to drop so deep or he drops too deep that he can't fill his role properly. I don't know what that says about Rooney or the #10 role, but it's indicative of some of the problems we have with Rooney playing this role.

[–]Kiddcohen39Bailly -3ポイント-2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Would you give it a rest? My god, he's been one of our only okay players yet he still takes all the blame. Was it his fault for Feyeendord as well?

[–]sepehrackMartial Madness -3ポイント-2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Here we go again. Was Rooney in the Feynoord game? We're playing better today than that trainwreck

[–]FrenchMancPogba -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Rooney is one of the few players who shows desire to win and is playing quite decently. not faulty on this one

[–]RicciRox -3ポイント-2ポイント  (0子コメント)

This is absolutely bullshit. Rooney's been one of our better players in this half. He's done all he should in starting attacks.

[–]LaCStation2 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Can't knock his work rate, passion for the game and latterly the maturity he shows as captain, but Rooney has been walking into United and England's teams at the expense of better options for the last few years.

[–]DJMattyMIbrahimovic 16ポイント17ポイント  (2子コメント)

Lucky not to be 2 or 3 down. Time to stop playing Rooney in any fucking position just to fit him in the team

[–]AstJr 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

Another poor performance. There's no off-ball movement and no infiltration. Just fucking crosses.

[–]SarcasticDevilRafael 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Problem is our crosses are all from difficult positions, Tony V is being asked to put in a perfect ball every time. Doesn't help that he hasn't beaten his man once, but there's nobody supporting him at all. We seem to only be able to have one player in w wide position at any point

[–]summerincassiopeia 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

We're so bad. This is horrible to watch.

[–]IAmBighead 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

I believe games like this show why Blind is vital in some games. In games where we plan to sit back and counter i agree that Bailly and Smalling are the better pairing (like the derby) however in games like this, he is vital in that he constantly gets the ball further up the pitch.

[–]KagawanmysonJanuzajmyson now Shinji's gone :( 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Amen. He does the same job as Mascherano at Barca, he can defend but he starts off every attack and drives the play forward. Playing against big forwards like Deeney and Ighalo is no excuse, we all saw him dominate Lukaku last season.

Not at all unpopular. no one knows what midfield combination is gonna work and our wingers run into the same problems of not having runners draw defenders away.

[–]just_roo_itRooney 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

What is the point of spending 100 million on Pogba if you are just going to fucking bypass the midfield? This is frankly embarrassing and we are seeing the exact same issues we have had for the last 3 seasons.

[–]CosmicGravyMemphis 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Absolute shite...

[–]TheJoshider10De Gea 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Who the fuck has been training these players in the final third since Fergie left? The same staff or completely different? Because it's been a recurring theme for about 4 seasons now where our players just miss so many easy chances, or don't make the most of half ones. I just don't get how this is still a problem for us.

Is United just a bad omen for some players? Because it seems like no matter the personnel behind the scenes, the same shit is shown on the pitch. Is it the new players? The older players? Who fucking knows, but I don't get why we keep going through this shit and yet City or Chelsea can quickly adapt to new styles.

[–]jjashbyJose 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

The players either can't be bothered to move away from their markers or they have been instructed to stay in their position, and I don't know what is worse.

Finishing has been so off. Crossing from everyone either gets missed or not attacked well enough.

We are losing again, not only because of poor performances, but also because of shit refereeing.

[–]danktofen 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

We have to get Rooney off the field.. the man hasn't contributed anything defensively and going forward, he's useless. Rooney still can't cross the ball and he's always hitting that first defender. Mata or Herrera should come on for him

TBH I don't know why everyone expected things to turn around in 5 games or so. There have been fundamental issues with this squad for a while, one or two wins and everyone goes mental thinking we're back. People need to adjust their expectations and realise that we can't band-aid the issues we have.

[–]tgmgg 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I agree, but we aren't really seeing any change, no real signs of progress.

[–]Dr_Bollock 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Rooney is taking up a position in midfield that is completely taking pogba out of our attack, and when pogba does get the ball Rooney isn't close for support. Either take him off and bring a real center midfielder on or play him upfront! Tired of us just trying to fit Rooney in a formation where he just doesn't fit.

[–]hyvzPogba 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Looks like we found 11 players on the street before the game. No teamplay, zero angles in the passing, everyone want the ball in their feet. Unmotivated, slow and fucking garbage.

Our only tactic is passing to Valencia and watching deliver pants cross after pants cross.

This midfield trio of Pogba, Rooney and Fellaini has zero influence in dictating.

With LVG you could at least see a plan developing or a semblance of a plan. This is just clueless. Hate to say it but they basically look like a Moyes team. Mourinho needs to sort it out but I am afraid it's already too late. Bracing for a another shit season.

[–]MuppetxMemphis 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Mourinho should've been honest with Memphis in the summer and let him go out on loan or permanently. It's a joke he's behind Young now because Young has shown nothing. I feel like Memphis, although he wasn't good against Feyenoord, at least showed energy and willingness to work while Ibra and Young were just as lethargic as the others.

[–]Yo_where_r_my_ticket 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Memphis is wonderful at giving the ball away - it's why he doesn't play

[–]MuppetxMemphis 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

He's also one of the only few who actually tries going forward. He needs a manager who trusts him.

[–]ThatSmellyGuyHugs 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Trying to control the tempo of a game without a good passer of the ball. Need a player like Carrick or Blind to be in the team to calm everyone down and put some sort of control to our play. Pogba and Fellaini don't seem to be able to do that at all. Even putting someone like Mata on might help, just anyone who has some sort of tempo to their passing.

[–]Surfacing710Keane 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

The lack of movement be it in attack or defence is infuriating. Saw a table that showed we're second last in distance run during a match in the league and it shows. Teams can just stay in place and we can't find a way past them.

If I'm perfectly honest I think teams are sussing us out ..... Go hard at em and they wont wanna know is what their saying about are team ......wheres the passion ... Wheres the rallying cries? Too much sulking going on ... Rooney was at the ref past 20 mins there instead of getting his head down

Pogba needs a Carrick behind him, and a Herrera beside him. Problem solved.

Team has no spine, its basically Fellaini at the back and Rooney up front trying, each trying to cover all the space in between. Neither of them is really playing their best position, which is ironic because Jose was quite vocal about wanting to stop that. And we are really missing Blind this game, Smalling and Bailly have been awful at distributing the first ball. As for the lack of communication, too many squad changes last few games, I really hope its a measured amount of experimentation from Jose since its still early, and not desperation.

How is Bastian Schweinsteiger not an option for us in midfield? Or at least Carrick

[–]Moyesehh -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

Schweinsteiger is shit, that's why.

[–]dano_connor 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Worse than what's currently on show?

[–]youngsahaLVG 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

There is no plan. Zlatan, Rooney, Pogba and Martial are all playing the same position.

[–]MrBenLadScholesy 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Rooney and Fellaini have lost the ball countless times already, just painful to watch, tbh even worse than LVG football atm.

Shit. Clueless. Predictable. Spread it out wide -> cross it in -> repeat. No creativity, no energy.

OP Mourinho doesn't train intricate passing and movement to his players. All he does is work on positioning and defensive structure. He relied heavily on his players talents in Real Madrid and Chelsea for that.

I'm at that point now where I've accepted that we're going to be taking 10 years out of the title race whilst we wait for the next manager to turn up that can pull us back up. The fight has completely gone from the squad having had 2 soft managers the past few years.

Mourinho doesn't seem to have instilled the fear either.

And fucking Rooney man. The guy is a husk of himself. I don't know what it is these managers still see in him. He slows everything down or loses it altogether.

Should've subbed on Mata or Memphis. Ibra needs to be subbed off and Rashford go up top. Hererra or Carrick on too.

[–]TimmyBashSchweinsteiger 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I feel like Carrick would bring everyone together.

[–]CveinMemphis & Martial 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Zlatan had a couple of chances he should have done better with.

We are lucky to only be down with 1.

Rashford is better with the final ball then in the buildup.

Martial seems to still have his mind elsewere.

[–]throwawaycoolaid 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Zlatan is the only one doing something right.

Pep Guardiola calling Man U a long ball team seems accurate.

[–]livewiaMartial 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

For most of the last three years we've always set up to negate the opposition - in this case it's the height of Watford. Just once I would like to see us play to OUR strengths, and that means playing someone who can PASS the ball at the base of the midfield three. Fellaini has done NOTHING and hasn't even won any headers!

Other than than, Rooney has been shit as usual, Rasford hasn't started well and Young has shown more desire and energy than Martial since he's come on.

[–]TheBigLemmy 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

The more I see that tackle the clearer it seems a foul. We've been robbed there.

I feel like it was obvious when I said it was obvious that Mourinho and Van Gaal are the same problem. But, maybe now it is?

Huh? Are we watching the same game? The gods gave us 2014 Valencia today

Guy hasn't put in a cross yet that's actually gone near anyone?

[–]W0rsleyRafael 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

We are so far behind the other top teams going forward especially City and Liverpool, it's not even like last season where we have the majority of possession and couldn't find a way through, none of our players are performing, our defence hasn't even been good since the Bournemouth game we've just somehow got lucky with shit finishing.

Ibra has been terrible as well doesn't look like he cares, Pogba has basically been irrelevant, another season of shit football and mediocrity coming.

Get Zlatan off the pitch and Rashford off the wing. His best attributes are finishing and knowing where to be in the box yet we're playing him on the wing. Get your head out of your ass Mourinho

We are fucking shite. Hopefully all the arse-kissing of Mourinho, Ibra & co. comes to end now, we're literally no better than last season and to argue that we are is deluded.

It shouldn't come as any surprise we are being outplayed by Watford, if anything we're lucky to only be 1 down.

As soon as you seen Rooney on the teamsheet, you can see the writing on the wall, the whole team is build to include him. Midfield is non existent, just a bunch of individuals thrown around to accommodate one man.
