Man United (a) match thread

[Soar Fox]

We need to manage the ball in midfield properly. We're so predictable when ever we get the ball we are looking for the long ball over the top for Vardy and it's not working. 

[fazzyfox]

Need to calm it down for a couple of minutes then come again

[simFox]

Man utd withing the midfield I think and our wingers aren't as effective as last week. Need a different tactic this week.

[Guest Mickyblueeyes]

At what point are we as fans allowed to question the managements decision not to replace Kante with Gueye? 

 

Against the big teams we are so badly prepared  it's like the coaches are really not watching what the rest of the world are. 

[Monsell1976]

**** sake get the shape back, these are taking the piss out of us

[Ozwin]

Making them look class.

Vardy is playing crap again. 

 

Mahrez at fault for their goal. Having a stinker 

Not a chance! That was drinkys bad ball. Mahrez has been ineffective so far but to say that was his fault is not right  

[Sol thewall Bamba]

4-4-2 clearly doesn't work away from home against the top teams why can't CR see it? 

[Foxy_jim]

This will be 2 or 3 before half time we have gone to pieces. Defence not good enough this season needed a centre half and right back in the Sumner to cover injuries and lack of form but we have to play same back four every game as reserves even worse (or in right back non existent)

Claudio hasn't shown to date that he has a different tactic.

What utter horseshit.

Watch vardy off the ball and you will notice. Looks slow and not bothered.

All over the shop

Incredible from the Zlatan in all fairness.

Well his touch and volley were outstanding. The fact he ran past both Morgan and Huth eyeline is probably laughable.

Because Gueye was shit in a midfield 3 for Villa? Mendy hasnt had a chance yet.

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

That goal has massively shifted momentum. United look decent now.

[Merging Cultures]

We were playing well, then all of a sudden we've lost our shape. We need to continue to play our game, don't be pulled out of position.

[Livid]

Could be Liverpool all over again if we're not careful 

[EnderbyFox]

Passing around us so easily. Amartey is a passenger 

[psychonaut]

Amartey is completely out of his depth. His positioning is dreadful allowing men to freely run inbetween. For a DM he's attempting very few tackles.

Needs addressing, we are awful away this season 

[Soar Fox]

Far too narrow when Amartey had the ball on the edge of the box. Nobody pulled out wide for an easy pass.

[DennisNedry]

Why are Mahrez and Albrighton on the same side? No options at all out wide ffs.

 

We look so blunt going forward.

[yorkie1999]

Amartey ain't got a clue what to do with the ball.

[Blanchflower78]

Slimani needs to sorthis touch out. Can we please attack like we mean it?

we miss Shinji's energy

We miss a link between defence and attack, every ball forward needs to travel about 40 yards to find a striker.
