a outsiders perspective

 

I really thought you could contend for top four this year on ability, but second thoughts after today, because that was a immature performance today against the worst united team you will see in years.

You bossed the ball, but played without conviction in the final third, Chilwell's edgy  performance midweek seems to have dented his confidence a bit. I thought   Gray was very poor, all pace no football brain, he ran into  traffic head down all day without his head up. The naive play was summed up by the way  your team managed the corner at the end.  A young team trying to be clever, rather putting than putting the  ball in the box to try and get a equalizer, it is no wonder the keeper  was unhappy.

 

Pluses were Ricardo at right back was good again,  and  bar the dodgy pen looked secure at the back you have two good centre halfs,  but compared to the second half at chelsea and Bournemouth that was miles off what your capable off. 

 

To sum up  Rodgers over thought himself today changing a winning team and the team only woke up after a hour.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hard to (edit: dis)agree with much of that.

Schmeichel goes into the box for the late corner....

 

....and we play it short and lose possession.

 

Kasper was rightfully fuming.

 

I'd love to know our goals per corner ratio since Maddison started taking them...

 

Has a Leicester team ever scored less from corners?

 

 

I was thinking that since our two best corners were effectively taken by Tielemans on training ground routines, why not just let him take the corners in the first place?

[Facecloth]

If we're going to play two defensive midfielders, we have to sacrifice one of Maddison or  Tielemans. We need to keep width, and play a team that means we can take advantage if we get on top. Football management is about tough decisions. If Rodgers insists on playing Ndidi and Choudhury, that's the tough decision he has to make.

What?  We’ve been utter dog wank from corners for years.

We were not unlucky, we created nothing

The better team isn't judged on sideways passes and higher possession

We are not good enough for top 6, been saying since day 1, we do not create enough chances in open play (been a problem for too long now)

We will not beat Spurs...

 

Sorry to be negative, but we deserved nothing

Unlucky with giving away a silly penalty. 

Unlucky Maddison, Chilwell and Ndidis efforts were not converted.

They were defending for most of the game.

They were there for the taking.

It wasn't our day...but I think we will make up for this disappointment  by beating  Spuds.

I believe in Brendan.

Can somebody tell me, was it a penalty, from my stream it looked like caglar got the ball fair and square. How could var get that wrong? 

 

No, he didn't get a touch on the ball.

 

Despite upteen people claiming it was 'soft', he didn't just 'brush' or 'clip' Rashford. He cut hard across him and effectively took him out. Penalty.

Must be good times when we're disappointed Leicester didn't get points at Old Trafford eh?

Some disappointing performances: Gray, Youri, Ricardo, Cags... Most disappointing: Atkintwat being their 12th player and Rodgers' being too respectful with the set up

 

 

You won't see a worst MU team in years. So yeah, without even talking about top 6 and whatnot, it's very disappointing.

[waylander]

Why ohhh why no service to Vardy. Scandalous Puel ball

Rubbish. If we're gonna set up to play like that we don't need £40m players

Did well at Fulham him 

[foxes_rule1978]

It was a game we had more possession, more shots, more corners... and we played 2 dms, that is the issue I have. Felt on the whole a draw would have been a fair result, as bad as Man U were going forward, they did defend well. We looked more a threat once we played Maddison and tielemans more in the middle, so hopefully we will start seeing this from now on. 

[The Quick Brown Fox]

When Brendan realises we have some fantastic attacking players and decides to **** what the opposition set up as and make them play our game, we will get more points. When we try and set up against the shite such as today we are going to drop more points than we pick up. 

 

Come on Brendan, get a grip and go at these cünts

Just trying to raise a wee smile in amongst the sheer fuucking misery on here

[waylander]

And the ref was a one side homer first half 

[HankMarvin]

Vardy 5 touches first 45

12 second

 

BR has to take responsibility for being too negative against a team missing star players of the last 5-10 years

[FerrisBueller]

Frustrating, but not the end of the world, Brendan just got it wrong.

Gray was textbook Gray today, painfully indecisive and no end product, I think we will really regret not signing a top winger.

 

Maddison has to play central with Tielemans, he's wasted out wide and we get no width down the left hand side.

 

Few players not at their best today and ultimately it came down to a mistake.

 

Onwards and Upwards!

Maybe, just maybe Man Utd aren’t as absolutely useless as everyone thinks, and we were on the wrong side of a tight game

If you watched the game you'd agree they are useless. Only problem is so were we today. An awful spectacle

[RowlattsFox]

We need a focal point up front sometimes and Vardy just doesn't offer that. Love the man but sometimes we need a different option or at least a partner. As proven in the last 3 years where we have lacked creativity.

People are gonna pile on Gray, but what do you expect from a player who hasnt be in the matchday squad for the majority of the season to come in against United at OT. 

 

 

Controversial, but Tielemans needs dropping for Praet for a few games

I'd give Youri some bench time too. He's playing below his last season standards from matchday 1. Madders is in so much better form it's almost embarrassing.

Possession in the areas that don’t trouble teams 

 

Defence 

from Side to Side 

[DerbyshireFox]

United fans I walked out with said we were better, which shows how poor they are.  We were nowhere near our best and still had the more notable chances. Lacked intensity and killer instinct. De Gea had nothing to do second half despite us being camped in their half. A missed opportunity. Need to be much better next Saturday
