What's he supposed to be doing? He was clearly told to push up towards the end but with Blind, and Man U dominating, he had to drop back again. Talk of going onto the front foot is madness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rn9013 Posted 26 August 2017 Share Posted 26 August 2017 Look very solid defensively. We need to keep in mind this is probably the most difficult game we'll have. Maguire is looking an absolute steal. Struggling to warm to Okazaki this season though, took him 36 seconds to end up on his ass today. He's so frustrating it's unreal. Need to stop giving it straight back to them too. Only a matter of time till they score if we carry on doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbourne Fuchs Posted 26 August 2017 Share Posted 26 August 2017 Iheanacho scores to make it 1-0 in added time, deflected off Pogba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mease Posted 26 August 2017 Share Posted 26 August 2017 Gray on at 70 mins for the winner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
car1os Posted 26 August 2017 Share Posted 26 August 2017 Think Mahrez has done well, covered well defensively but he can't attack if he's only ever running backwards. Could do with Slim on for Okazaki playing the link role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you're 'basic' review is a harsh assessment of his talent. It's always difficult trying to match 2 in midfield against the big teams who overload the midfield with players still out of our league signing wise. I still think he's got some way to go but each game his fitness is returning and I'm pleased he's signed up for another 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertfox2 Posted 26 August 2017 Share Posted 26 August 2017 Good to see we still have that in it together fighting spirit. Man utd will beat most sides this season especially at home. If we get anything at Old Trafford it will be a very good result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgfualol Posted 26 August 2017 Share Posted 26 August 2017 Mahrez has been great. The only player that is going to create something as usual. Albrighton has done nothing but people having a go at Riyad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom27111 Posted 26 August 2017 Share Posted 26 August 2017 I'd be tempted to go 3 at the back, Chilwell (for Simpson) and Albrighton as wing backs, and Shinji off for an extra midfielder. Mahrez supporting Vardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blabyboy Posted 26 August 2017 Share Posted 26 August 2017 Think we might be able to nick something in this game. Their back two, especially Jones seem a weak link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shen Posted 26 August 2017 Share Posted 26 August 2017 Would just like to say that Man Utd look good. Very well organised with very good quality at the back. Matic really is a huge plus for them. So composed and makes our rare press in their half look routine to deal with. Their build-up play is excellent too, just needs a killer ball. Would even argue that Pogba is the reason they're not ahead. Slows their play down unnecessarily, which is our gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makalele was basic: win the ball, recycle to a teammate. Nowt fancy. Not suggesting for a second that James is of his quality, but a solid, basic watercarrier has been the key to many a good side.

sishades Posted 26 August 2017 Share Posted 26 August 2017 What a terrific first half from our boys.fast flowing attacking football with great inter passing in midfield. Great stuff.
