James had a better half than Ndidi.

Definitely. Maguire and Kasper are also one of the reasons  (others being Lukaku and Pogba having sight problems) we're still in the game and proves how invaluable it is to have defender who can properly get the ball out.

We've been garbage but it's nauseating how far up United's arse BT Sport are.

Think we might be able to nick something in this game

A throw in perhaps......

[Guest BlueBrett]

So far so good really. Took a world class save from Kasper and a generous lino call but still. 

 

A point would be a fantastic result here.

 

**** that though let's nick it!

[m4DD0gg]

Its a bit hard to call anyone poor considering we have 0.1% possession and up against a savi defense

Would have been great to have had Iborra available for this. 

He's a huge need at the moment, someone who keeps their head on the ball. If we got another CB who could handle the ball, with him and Maguire and the new CB, we might be able to get the ball out of our own third without resorting to lumping it fwd indiscriminately.

[HoustonFox]

Half-time coverage here: "bring a chainsaw and a dumpster". Wait, this is Hurricane Harvey coverage... or is it?!

So many prisoners of the moment thought it absurd to start anyone else. 

Slim. Love Shinji but it's not his game. And I know we're short on midfielders.

[The Guvnor]

As Rio has just mentioned we need to get out quicker and stop Pogba having too much time to shoot, if we don't he will score , also they were having too much space and time down Simpson's side , I'm sure Shakey has it covered HT team talk.

[Guest Col city fan]

Utterly ridiculous though it sounds, I'd love to see us just sign a player who can keep the ball

We just can't. We win it and pass it to the opposition.

[notnow john]

Ndidi looks out of his depth passing abject,closing down non existent,come wilf

Wake up.

[Guest BlueBrett]

Can we check the negativity please? Did people think we were going to go to old Trafford and play them off the park? Still in it lets go!

[Foxxed]

Surely we'd bring on Slim over Iheanacho. Slim's done more to fight for his place.

[Melbourne Fuchs]

Sherwood wants to play Rashford at left back, wtf.

[Shamomoa]

bring on slim for okazaki. not sure if ihneacho would work... mabi late on...

I hate to think Shakespear is in the dressing room now saying well done guys, just keep it up in the second half, we will get a chance at some point.

I am afraid that is so.

[foxes_rule1978]

Allowed Man U too much freedom for the last 25... can't do that, give them something to worry about... 

[splinterdream]

Shinji totally ineffective, we should go 5 in midfield, put the ball into touch in the corners and attack them like that

Said it before, vardy and Marc are off limits, they need to awful to be criticized.

Not really sure what Vardy has done wrong. Won hus fair share of flickons, kept the ball well and has been lurking. Not had much service or support.

 

Albrighton not getting much joy, Mahrez looking good even though his teammates are giving him desperately few options.

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.

This is the thing with Mahrez and a few people on this forum. Unless he dribbles past 5 man utd players (who are some of the best players in the prem) and curls a 30 yard screamer in the top corner he's playing shite. He's spoilt us with some of the things he has done in the past and a victim of his own success expectation wise.  One of the biggest criticisms has been he doesn't track back yet the whole 1st half he was doing just that. We are really lucky to have him.

Yes - during our only decent spell (early in the half) Maguire was bringing the ball out nicely. Since then it's pretty much been backs against the wall and he hasn't had much opportunity to get out of our box.

...and that's why he's unemployed

Wake up.

N'didi is not having a great game. Not sure if its him or the opposition being so good. 

 

Man U have some class players. And are playing very well sadly. When they score which im sure they will, i just hope we can score fast on the counter before they add more.

I hate how biased the media are towards the top 4/5, United especially so though.
