[Post-Matchday Thread] Manchester United 0 - 0 Burnley

tocitus · 6分前

Apologies for how early this is, got to get on a train in a bit.

A blunt cutting edge is hurting us. 4 points dropped against Stoke and Burnley from the simple inability to finish is costing our season so far. The game against Chelsea was disappointing but to me it seemed like one of those days where everything bad comes to fruition. These matches though are games we should be brute-strength bullying into our favour, even when the luck is completely against us as it has been all season
Pogba was outstanding yesterday, as was Mata and everything about Ibra's game bar his finishing. I also thought Darmian looked good too but he'll get tougher tests!
I'm still unsure on the penalty shouts - my gut says the first would have been a soft one and the second wasn't a penalty. Clattenburg can get absolutely fucked though for changing the game by sending off Herrera for slipping over.
Speaking of which, I'm not sure I agree with Mourinho's substitutions at that point. I feel Carrick would have been the better choice over Fellaini because we had so much of the ball and he could have pulled the strings more and I feel like taking off Mata was the wrong thing to do.

Overall an incredibly frustrating afternoon and we slip further back in the table (could finish in 9th at the end of this week). The frustrating part is the results don't reflect the performances, it's like the opposite of our start to the season last year.

Hopefully we can start putting the points on the board and make a break for Top 4 though.

Despite being incredibly frustrated, It's great to see us playing good attacking football. Mata coming off was a huge mistake. Pogba played brilliant and carried the team in the last minutes to try and create chances. With LVG, I was used to us passing the ball around the back in these situations and just playing for the draw. It's great to see the change that's coming in with the quality of players.

Mourinho was right when he said Mata was in his natural habitat at United. This game showed how important he is in linking up our attacks.

90% of games like that we win comfortably, hopefully with yesterday and the Stoke game that's us got our 10% out of the road
