MC Prussian Posted 3 February 2019 Posted 3 February 2019 Winless in five, and a rejuvenated Spurs up next. Six points off seventh place, only scored twice in a home match two times in the past two months. Not scoring enough (with the odd exception), not creating enough chances, timid going forward, no punch in midfield, overly complicated, always playing in second gear from the get-go, conceding early in the process, and some players come up with the most frustrating and unnecessary of fouls (Mendy!). Vardy has been off the boils for a while now, plus Ndidi should be put on the bench for a short spell in order to send a message. And the disappointment continues. I can't stand watching this mayhem on the pitch for much longer, we are bereft of ideas, so fcking dull to watch. SO FCKING DULL! Come on, come up with something more positive against Crystal Palace and Brighton! Something's got to give!
sycokilla Posted 3 February 2019 Posted 3 February 2019 manure were very lucky its a match we should have won
womp Posted 3 February 2019 Posted 3 February 2019 very happy how we went as a whole. very positive for the future after that.
Langston Posted 3 February 2019 Posted 3 February 2019 Dull. Whether or not these slow starts are a result of Puel's preparation for the games or a mental thing amongst the players, they have to stop because it's becoming beyond parody. Wretched subs done far too late on. Barnes was great and for eighty minutes I thought we were great defensively, about the only positives. Maddison was moving like a geriatric today and Mendy and Wilf as a duo simply doesn't work well anywhere near often enough. Yet he persists with it.
StriderHiryu Posted 3 February 2019 Posted 3 February 2019 I thought we deserved a point from that game, we made enough chances to get one back. Once again defensively we are the architects of our own downfall, which is annoying because after that goal I didn't think Man United really troubled us. Overall I thought we played OK for most of it. Mendy was poor and I guess will be replaced by Tielemans next week, but Harvey Barnes I thought was fantastic! I think it's been a good decision to bring him back and get Premier League minutes under his belt. If he keeps improving at the same rate he's going to be very good, very soon. Some of the subs I found questionable. Ghezall actually had a good impact when he came on, that free kick was very well saved from De Gea and he was quite creative. But Shinji hasn't scored in forever and Nacho.... deary me. He should be written off.

Slow, laborious, no movement. Awful and needs sorting asap. Really? I didn't think we were poor attacking, we were 6.5/10 going forward I would say. Problem was finally getting a finish.
lgfualol Posted 3 February 2019 Posted 3 February 2019 Maybe if we shoot straight at De Gea a few more times we will score.. Thought we played well. Vardy of old would have finished at least one of his chances. Our defence handled them well. Barnes was good. Needs to start all remaining games.
Guest kristianity77 Posted 3 February 2019 Posted 3 February 2019 United were poor but we were still second best. Huddersfield aside, I think we have the weakest squad going forward in the league. It's piss poor.
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 3 February 2019 Posted 3 February 2019 Lost to a below par Utd, really disappointed, usual slow start, usual story of creating chances and not scoring, Shinji and Nacho are not the answer! Impressed with Barnes, Mendy and Ndidi again offer little
Keiriel Posted 3 February 2019 Posted 3 February 2019 4 minutes ago, SecretPro said: We have no attack. I disagree, at least after this game. We created chances, but we're not clinical enough to put them away. Also, Man Utd barely had a sniff aside from the Ricardo error which resulted in their goal.

SecretPro Posted 3 February 2019 Posted 3 February 2019 Why does it take Chilwell 10 minutes on the ball to put a cross in?

rachhere Posted 3 February 2019 Posted 3 February 2019 Wasn't a bad performance, but the usual issues really - early goals and not converting good opportunities. Vardy just not himself at the moment and Evans missing that great chance. Thought Rachid did well when he came on. Harvey looking great - I think definitely right to bring him back and get him up to speed. It's so close to working...
Guest Basildon Fox Posted 3 February 2019 Posted 3 February 2019 Did not understand why Maddison got hauled after 60 mins.
trabuch Posted 3 February 2019 Posted 3 February 2019 Man U have mugged us to take 6 points off us this season.
Foxhead Posted 3 February 2019 Posted 3 February 2019 1 minute ago, KingsX said: Good entertainment, poor result. Puel set us up to attack today and the second half was hell for leather. 17 shots (6 on target) to 10 and 6 for Manure. So many chances created. Not enough quality to finish a damn one. But how good was Barnes? The young’n is an athlete for this level, his every instinct is to drive forward, and when he gets the ball, he does something with it quickly. Correct. Really like the look of Barnes. I just hope he isn't theoretically castrated by booing and negativity. It could easily undo the confidence built up at WBA. The kid needs to be supported and encouraged which is an up hill struggle in a toxic environment.
Mehrez Posted 3 February 2019 Posted 3 February 2019 Dissapointing result but like many thought we deserved a point, the lack of quality on the bench needs addressing. Thought Barnes was excellent

oxtonfox Posted 3 February 2019 Posted 3 February 2019 Cant fault the effort today. It's frustrating as hell that we have 1 decent striker and a habit of conceeding early. Any uplift from Anfield has melted away.
Langston Posted 3 February 2019 Posted 3 February 2019 Ah fantastic, now I can listen to Alex Scott, the only person I've ever known who actually manages to talk over herself.
Crispin LA Posted 3 February 2019 Posted 3 February 2019 We play good, create chances But we can't score, is are midfield the problem - are they shit and useless?
