Valencia is giving that bushy haired fuck a weeks worth of cardio workouts

Valencia is fucking lit

Absolutely abusing the shrub man for daring to challenge the sanctity of our Fella Tree.

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

Really didn't see /that/ much of a push though, honestly. Not enough for Mkhi to lose the feeling in his legs.

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

Eh, I think any push whatsoever from behind should warrant a foul if you ask me. That leaves such a grey area if the argument is how hard he pushed him.

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

No, I agree, any infringement on a players momentum like should be punish. It just didn't look like it was clear enough to warrant a penalty in this case. Like you say it's just so hard to determine a slight push. And it doesn't help your case when you throw yourself to the floor with more force than what was in the contact. I get as a footballer you feel the need to highlight to the ref by making more of a deal about something that is obviously infringing

[–]buddyhollybenhur 36 ポイント37 ポイント  (12子コメント)

Dominating the game but we really have to address our finishing and crossing from our fullbacks. Same story every game.

[–]schilomFosu 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Our corners are shit as well

[–]buddyhollybenhur 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Our set pieces in general are shit. Zlatan scored one in the league cup final because they had a midget in the wall. He smacks the ball at the wall every time.

Our corners are even worse. We just hit and hope. Zero intent whatsoever.

[–]schilomFosu 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I'm not expecting Ramos level of scoring headers but come on, what's our goal per corner ratio? Depressingly bad to say at least

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

Our crossers are hitting and hoping and we don't have any dominant headers of the ball.

Lethal combo.

[–]schilomFosu 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Tell me about it man, I'm gonna find out what our conversion rate is, it got to be one of the lowest in the league

freekick gets skied, Mhki tanks a 1on1, Pogba shoots straight at the keeper

This shit is becoming a template

[–]Mr_boo_urnsPhil Jones' Face 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think we have to address our over reliance on the wingers in the first place. It's just a constant cycle of passing it around the Centre, give it to Valencia, expect him to beat someone.

I wish they'd take a few risks in the middle. I know it's crowded but runs into the Centre would at least pull players out of their position.

[–]JhixDe Gea 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

same old shit eh?

[–]amagneto 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think it helps that Zlatans movement in the box is often non-existent. As much as I love him, he doesn't attack headers.

[–]DarkSofterBIG DAVE TO THE RESCUE 51 ポイント52 ポイント  (11子コメント)

This has been the story of our fucking season. Can't finish even if our life depended on it. Downvote me all you want but Ibra should have had atleast 35 goals this season

[–]lestat85De Gea 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Or if he was less selfish every now and again. His decision making in this game has been poor.

[–]kaoticreapzRashgod 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Two great chances to pass but be takes a shot. Add to that his terrible freekicks.

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

He really shouldn't be first choice free taker.

[–]cristiano10sMartial 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Should have passed twice but shot instead. Just so frustrating

[–]Vorrel 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

When we dominate the match and we only manage to get two people into the box in attack the issue is not with Ibra but with the 10 men behind him.

[–]Ibs99Blind 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Is it me or is Zlatan against playing a simple but effective pass. Sometimes it looks like he's just trying to find a more difficult pass, without is being a better one.

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

Ibra in far too many games messes up the balance of our team.

He has scored a ton, but I still believe that if we hadn't got him, we would have done better overall.

[–]Takley -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ibra's a horrid finisher this season, any other top striker with his chances would have scored 30+ and we'd be nearer the top of the league

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

    On Mourinho's comment that Pogba doesn't care about what people say about him this the great Lalas had to say, "They all care. They hear it when they go to the ATM."

    Ummm...okay.

    [–]redx211 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Fuck Alexi Lalas.

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

    He's not terrible if he's doing a game where he knows what he's talking about (so MLS or the American national team), because he at least has enough knowledge about the given subject to at least argue his point. His WC and European commentary is awful though.

    [–]cristiano10sMartial 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Not much to say really. Most of our players are playing well and we are all over them. Final pass/shot just isn't there

    Why don't any of our cb's push up in the space, we're playing a 3atb all the time.

    [–]legojs 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

    cuz we dont need to

    [–]MadaraTheUchihahttp://www.howmanypremierleaguemedalshasstevengerrardwon.com/ 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    We definitely do, we don't need a constant 3atb all the time since Rostov are always behind the ball. Say Bailly pushes up in the space with the ball, Poloz will have to commit and it'll create more space for our midfield.

    [–]legojs 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    ok say that there's a counter happening after a misplaced ball, the chances of them scoring on us is greater than when we have 3 at the back. We don't need to risk it.

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

    Because Rostov is aiming to exploit that exact situation and it's not like we have a 4 goal lead on aggregate.

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

    You're correct here, we really shouldn't have to push up any of our CB, we already have 7 more players ahead of them, should be enough.

    The atmosphere at OT really needs to improve. I know it's not an exciting game, and we haven't played particularly well, but this is shite.

    Other teams, no matter the fixture, always make noise instead of just sitting in absolute silence.

    There's literally no home "advantage" by being so fucking quiet. The home stadium is supposed to be intimidating.

    [–]YorkshirePintMan 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    It's been a while since I've been to OT but the one thing that I still remember is this:

    "Sit down"

    Something interesting happens on the pitch, and we had high vis twats telling everyone to sit down. So if it's club policy to tell people to sit down and stfu I'm not surprised we're embarrassingly quiet now.

    Bring back standing and stop telling people to sit down.

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

    Quite frustrating half. For long parts we have looked really good. Mata and Mkhi look so sharp. They're technique is beautiful to watch, I love having that quick, technical play to our game. Zlatan looks a touch off the pace, he's missed some key opportunities to pass and been a bit sloppy on the ball, though that shot was a good effort. Pogba looks a little short of confidence, trying a bit too hard and in his own head.

    All in all we are completely dominating and they have created literally nothing. They're also happy to waste time and break the game up. I'm just a bit scared because they need to score so at some point they're going to turn it on. We need to score.

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

    Time to sub Smalling and bring on Carrick i think.

    [–]AteRiusz 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (3子コメント)

    Unpopular opinion but I really don't think our football is any good. Same story all the time, 2-3 passes in the middle -> play it out wide and leave Valencia/Blind alone having to do something. I'd really like to see some fast paced passing play in the middle with the players we have.

    [–]macismydog 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (2子コメント)

    They are playing with a back 5 and 2 midfielders dropped very deep.

    I'm not sure if you're watching the same match as me, but there is absolutely no space throughout the middle. We have to spread the play wide to try and drag them out of position.

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

    You're right, but I still don't like it. Rostov are swarming their own penalty box so it's basically impossible to pick anyone out with a cross.

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

    We've been poor. Some of our players need to understand that a 2 yard sideways pass is often the perfect tool. Pogba is looking like Fellaini in a Pogba costume tonight and if Zlatan played a simple square ball Miki would have put us 1-0 up.

    unnecessarily complicating things for ourselves, simple football beats opposition of this calibre. Prime example, right before half time Pogba has a 5 yards pass to put Blind in, instead flick turns into 3 players and fails to squeeze a difficult pass to Zlatan, just do the fucking basics lads ffs !

      12 Crosses from open play since the 30th minute. And I'm not counting switching play from one side to another. Is it that the crossers are bad or the players that attack the ball don't do it right?

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

      we'e only got one target man really and Rostov usually have around 5 players in their area. Saying that the crossing really hasn't been great.

      Alexi Lalas really should be fired.

      Oh, and we probably should start scoring, too, but Alexi is just the worst.

      I think all this media talk is definitely getting to Pogba's head. Anyone who's played knows what it's like when nothing goes your way....then you start trying too hard and your overall play turns to shit. He needs to hit one of those screamers and settle down a bit and gain back some composure.

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

      United playing against a lower team at OT? Should have known it was going to be 0-0, hopefully we be more clinical in the second half. It would be shocking if we end 0-0 against this side, we're playing comfortably across the pitch

      Are we trying to break moyes crossing record? I feel like the middle is open, but we keep going with Valencia or Blind to give us ok crosses.

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

      Ibra should have done better with the first chance He made a good stab at that shot off the post from where he was standing, but surely the pass centrally was the better option?

      Valencia is fantastic. This is the guy I've been missing. Fast, strong and crossing with both feet.

      Matas had some bright moments but I think Mkhi has been better overall. Pogba been ok and Herrera disappointing.

      We need to put a goal away, they had a few scary breaks.

      The ballboy down in that right corner is having a laugh

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

      One-dimensional going forward, I know the goal will come if we keep it up, but you would have to think about hitting them with something different once in a while to create space and unpredictability. Getting Moyes vs Fulham vibes so far.

      Would like to see Rashford come if Mkhi's not going to run at goal.

      Or the time the pass after went out of play?

      Deluded fans.

      [–]Kiddcohen39Herrera -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (5子コメント)

      Well done on the construction of that straw man

      "there's absolutely nothing Pogba has done for weeks and weeks that he couldnt do, he's been terrible."

      Except for the stuff Pogba has done for weeks and weeks that Rooney couldn't do. Fucking idiot. Shocked you didn't bother to mention the times when he broke Rostov's lines or played a nice switch after beating his man. No agenda to push there. You know just because an opinion is unpopular doesn't mean it's somehow broken free of the "delusions" of other fans. Get your head out of your ass and hop on off that high horse mate.

      [–]Takley 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (4子コメント)

      [–]Kiddcohen39Herrera -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (3子コメント)

      Be honest mate. Do you even remember what you were asking in the first place? You were looking for something that Pogba brought to our midfield that Rooney did not or, rather, denying the existence of it. Because that's an outrageously stupid claim, I took the initiative to point out that, in fact, Pogba does bring something different to the table, shocker I know. But if you'd rather completely shift your argument every time you're countered I suppose you can have this one.

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

      Pogba has been excellent but I bet people dig up some ridiculously specific stats to make it sound like he was shit that half. Rostov have set up for a 0-0 draw playing with 5 at the back and still parking the bus. It's fucking tedious. If we played a team with any ambition to progress, we'd be 5-0 up. Valencia MOTM so far.

      As boring as it is, a 0-0 draw would be okay but I need to see some goals.

      I agree he's been getting some stupid abuse, but he can't be immune from criticism. he was dire but toward the end of the half he made good tackles and passes as well as that shot right before the whistle.

      [–]mariojk11 -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

      Criticism is fine. Calling him things like "useless" is both unnecessary and unfair. That effort at the end of the half shows his talent can shine through at any moment. He is our best option IMO, just gotta keep faith in him and hope he can find some confidence going forward.

      Away goal from the first leg would put us through

      [–]theatreofdreams21 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

      Yes it would. We have an away goal.

      We surely need 5 defenders at home against the mighty Rostov, otherwise they might score at any given moment. Our only hope is that one of the defenders crosses the ball into the box so our forward big man Mkhi can head it home.

      There's always our ace in the hole Fellaini to fall back on if the Plan A doesn't work amirite? Somebody fucking kill me.

      ffs what the fuck are you doing Jose?

      Thing is if they score I really can't see us going through. Right now we don't need to score, the more important thing is not conceding

      The plan is to have the 3 centerbacks to stay back and valencia/blind almost as wingers to cross it (to nobody so far)

      Allow me to help. "Good on Jose for going with 3 at the back to allow for more attacking impetus and putting Mkhi, Mata, Pogba, Ibra in the same lineup at home." The formation isn't to blame mate, it hardly dictates our play as much as you'd think, especially 541->343.

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

      How are you blaming Jose? The players aren't clinical enough. Both mkhi and zlatan should have buried their chances.

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

      Because we haven't created shit. Most of our chances have been half chances except 2, Ibra hitting the woodwork from inside the box and Mkhi's one on one. Blind can't take on his man on the wing, sure he'll put in a bad cross if you give the ball to him but he is incapable of running at defenders and we don't have a midfield to play through the middle. Pogba just lumps the ball forward or spreads the play to the wings because of that. We're just putting in cross after cross when we have fucking Mkhitaryan playing as a forward. And why are we playing with 5 defenders when we haven't for the entire season? That's why I'm blaming Jose.

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

      What? Zlatan trying the chip was also a chance created. Rojo's header is a chance created.

      4 clear cut chances in a game is good imo and its on our players for not getting atleast 1

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

      Rojo's chance is a fucking corner mate, it's hardly something that we created from play. Zlatan's chip chance came from a big mistake from them, hardly something we created and he should have cut it back to Mkhi not try and score from an improbable angle.

      I thought we were playing more of a 3-5-2 versus a 5-3-3. I know they mostly similar but it seems like Blind and Valencia are staying much further upfield.

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

      They are, it would mean something if Blind could put in a decent cross or take on his man like Tony but he can't.

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

      We are missing fast wingers!

      That's the way to break there defense!

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

      What use is pace going to do when they have 5-8 men around their box at all times?

      [–]Kiddcohen39Herrera -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

      Thought we've looked pretty good. Finishing a bit shite and a bit unlucky. Not too bothered overall though as I don't think we look likely to concede. Pogba, Mata and Valencia the bright spots for me so far probably.

      [–]KoreanMeatballsVan Nistelrooy -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (3子コメント)

      Never said a bad word about Pogba before, and I think the "hate" has been mostly overstated, but he's been shit so far tonight.

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

      Funny, I think he's actually been one of our better players. Actually made things happen rather than just passing wide to Valencia or Blind

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

      Mata set up almost all of our chances. Pogba has done basically nothing except make silly mistakes. I'm a huge fan of his, and hope he turns it around. but he has been very poor tonight so far.

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

      He's been taking on defenders and finding spaces in between the lines, looking for the passes to mata etc. Has lost the ball a but but that's testament to the fact that he's actually trying to create

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

      Herrera has put in disgusting number of successful sideways and backward passes. Stats.

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

      Look like 3-5-2 can't play through balls although we have 75% possession
