Manchester United vs. Wigan Athletic

no urgency...it's almost like half the players think this is a preseason game.
 
This game is making me realise how good it is we signed van Persie, say we didn't and Rooney(as he has) picks up a long injury. We'd be seriously lightweight up top with Welbeck and Hernandez leading the line.
 
Total and utter shit.

Pretty much how everyone predicted. Slow, static, predictable.
 
God this zombie shit is getting tedious. That being said, we've hardly inspired in the first half.
 
Started really well but have just turned to rubbish over the last 20-25 mins. Do we ever show any urgency or good football till we're 1-0 down? Need to get Kagawa, RvP and Valencia on.
 
Shit half. Wigan have created better chances and look the more comfortable side.

Buttner's had a decent half, Welbeck has been good but nothing else. Hernandez's penalty was poor, Carrick has been very disappointing so far. Get Valencia and Kagawa/Cleverley on.
 
You continue to be the biggest debbie downer on this site. You want United to play counter attack football at home to Wigan?
What a wanker.

I think it would be better if we didn't slow the play down in every attack. We're too slow in our buildups. That was the point, I'm sorry you missed it.
 
Lots of hufffing and puffing , not enough quality in the last third.
 
Buttner has that dutch way of wanting to play nice football in every situation instead of kind of football seen in the west ham match earlier where they'd just lump the ball up the field any chance they get. Its both a good and bad thing
 
We are like Barcelona minus the quality players, incisive passing, great movement and messi.

Poor and slow in short.
 
Maybe that guy had a point about Wigan being favourites since we are without RVP....

Hernandez is utterly useless, and took a shit penalty to boot.

Welbeck is lively yet still looks clumsy and can't finish anything. Nani isn't trying to go past his man enough, Giggs is just putting in a normal Giggs shift nowadays. Scholes and Carrick offer nothing going forward. What a struggle.
 
Think we need to either get a bigger threat at left wing or a bigger threat through the middle. We're having to attack and push up too high centrally which is leaving a lot of room for them to counter in to as Scholes is getting bypassed. We're wasting scholes as well as he can't use his long passes enough as only Nani is holding width of the ball.

Aside from that buttner looks like a good player, think he could do even more if he had a partner on the left hand side.
 
We are so static its worrying, everything is slow building up so Wigan just get their defence in shape and we can't break it down, dare I say zombie passing.

Welbeck looks good (I'll ignore that dive), he would look better with Van Persie next to him.
 
Wigan passing around at Old Trafford, what the fuuuuck. Come on United, we're shit!
 
I like that we don't look as lethargic as we did in the first two games but that's about it.

Positives so far are only Buttner, Welbeck and Giggs.

The rest is about average.

Still I think we are going to win it, even if it takes subbing on RvP.
 
Welbeck is brilliant, Buttner looks very dynamic and hungry for football.

Chicharito should have scored that feckin penalty.
 
Buttner and Welbeck looking great while everybody else needs a kick up the ass.
Really incredibily boring and slow playing style we're showing. I know Fergie wants a clean sheet, and I'm all for it, but we need to make something out of our posession.
 
Well that was...... shit. Passing seemed a bit flat no really quickness and urgency about it. Hernandez hasn't got involved at all, not sure if that his fault or that he's just not getting service, and our defending is still a bit worrying. Welbeck's been a positive (apart from the dive), he's got involved at every chance and seems to be playing at a higher tempo than pretty much anyone else in our team. Nani has looked good in my opinion too, just very rarely have we utilised him today
 
Hallmarks of the laboured early season win we usually have every season, but yeah we're shit.
