Manchester United vs. Queens Park Rangers

We have been utter shit today. Even Southampton smashed this lot.
 
This performance has been absolutely embarrassing. Is there a slower midfield in the world than ours? Just bring Anderson and Cleverley on because this is clearly not working. And Rooney has been unbelievably poor.
 
Third time this month where there's not been a single positive in the first half performance.
 
I like Fergie's thinking. take any flair, creativity and movement out of the team and hope for the best.
 
What's the deal with Fletch then? Fatigue?

I mean going by the comments in here his performance today is worse than any of his others this season and most recently in the CL?
 
Back him up for what exactly? They were hardly assaulting him. Young is a big boy, he can surely handle a few words being said to him?

To show that you have his back? It's a mental game too you know. I'm not having two guys trying to intimidate my teammate

Would you back up a teammate who persists on diving on a regular basis? He is our very own Suarez.

Hyperbole much? Lots of people dive, not all of them are complete twats like Suarez
 
feck me. Poor 1st half. Fletcher has been abysmal, like genuinely absymal. Out of position a lot, not offering anything going forward, can't pick out a pass.
 
The video evidence suggests Young was actually shoved from behind to the ground.

Yep. Hill was using Young's reputation to make out that he didn't foul him; faux outrage.
 
Rooney is the only one looking arsed. Van Persie has no service. Get Anderson on for Fletcher around the 50th minute?
 
We have been ok in that first half, but playing by far the worst team in the league.. you would have thought we could have been a goal up by now or atleast created a hatfull of chances. Not the case :(
 
I think some of you might be overreacting a tad. We've clearly been the better team and have created quite a few chances. Not the most exciting football on show, but we've been fine.
 
Very underwhelming. Young has continued to just pass the ball backwards, Rooney has been dire and our only real threat has come from Welbeck in wide areas. M'Bia has been the most exciting player on the pitch... Something is wrong
 
Just not good enough. QPR is playing a 11 man defence but a team like barca would open them up easily. We don't have the special players to break open teams like these
 
A United team seemingly devoid of desire and hunger (and a first touch), worrying.
 
I wonder what Fletch's pass completion rate is in this half.

It's 86%. Besides the three strikers and him everyone else is hitting 90%.

Thinking of to writing a letter to have the zombie passing separated from meaningful passing.
 
This is terrible. Truly terrible. We've created almost nothing for the forwards. Our only "attack" plan has been down the flanks and its failed horribly. Again. Why we continue with 4-4-2 when we clearly don't have the players in form to make it work is beyond me? We should go 4-3-3 stick Hernandez up there between Van Persie and Rooney and bring on Cleverley and Ando to play alongside either Scholes or Fletcher. Playing like this we'll either get a bore score draw or get caught cold like we did at Carrow Road.
 
This is the bottom team and we're unable to create more than 3 proper chances? That was a horrible first half and I have no idea what Fergie is thinking with that line up
 
nothing is happening in midfield and none offered from the wide areas. I can't see any half time changes but hopefully team talk will improve our 2nd half performance.
 
Just not good enough. QPR is playing a 11 man defence but a team like barca would open them up easily. We don't have the special players to break open teams like these

QPR are playing with 3 forward players and are making a go of it. We should be hitting them on the break, but we are to slow on the break.
 
Pretty poor half from us. As an attacking force we just don't look dynamic enough so far. I'm particularly disappointed by our midfield and wings. Rooney and Van Persie look like they have ideas when they get the ball but there's nowhere near enough space and movement around them to exploit. We've played into QPR's hands and allowed them to frustrate us with 10 men behind the ball. Quicker, more incisive passing will break them down.
 
This is why we will definitely not be winning the league on goal difference. No movement or creativity from the midfield. Insipid.
 
Scholes hasn't been bad or anything but QPR are sitting so tight there isn't really the space for him to use his range nor anyone who is really gonna go on the outside. Reckon clev's better mobility for Scholes would be a good shout. One of Rooney or RVP needs to take more responsibility in being the link player. The midfield is criticised too much for lack of creativity, one of these guys needs to supply that as well, both have been quite sloppy with their use of the ball. Young needs to take a look at Welbeck and actually try and take someone on. It's been a tough game cause QPR are getting everyone behind the ball but we can do better.
 
We're not very good at this playing football thing these days.

Rooney's been awful so far, though at least he's getting on the ball. We had like two real chances and a couple of half-opportunities but playing against the worst team in the league at home this is very underwhelming. Well, would be, if we expected anything more which we shouldn't.
