Manchester United vs. Newcastle United

This has been atrocious so far.Torturous football, making Newcastle look like fecking Barca

We haven't exactly made them look like Barca, but they've defended very well, and pressed us really very well. No space given and quick on the break against ageing midfield and Rio.
 
worst half of football Ive seen from us in a long time.
 
I'm not sure how to react.

We are getting outplayed at home by a midtable side who have some of their key players unavailable due to injuries and suspensions....

Midtable?

they are 5 points off the bottom and lost 6 of their last 9 games...
 
we need changes at half time if we want to salvage anything from this game.

Why start with one arm tied behind our back?
 
Some boos there. Drowned out fairly quickly thankfully. Actually, may have been aimed at the referee anyway.
 
It's like Blackburn home last season all over again. Stupidly arrogant team selection costing us big time against an opponent we clearly underestimated.
 
Put him on fecking ignore then, you moaning about him is just as bad.

Indeed. Charley just spends the entire match day threads moaning about people who moan, and calling them cnuts.

Talks sense my fecking hole.
 
Shocking half. Defensively we look a mess, offensively we've not created anything of note.

Would look to the bench to change things, but other than Cleverley there is nothing.
 
Nothing has happened since they scored. Nothing. Can't remember us constructing many if any attacks of real consequence. Seeing lots of players in red shirts hitting the ball around a lot looking, almost begging, someone else to take responsibility for digging us out of this.
 
Conditions are awful, ruined the game really, the rain is pissing me off now.

Awful performance so far, really don't know what's going on. Surely got to get Cleverley and Buttner on at this rate.
 
What a shambles this game has been. Evans and Rio are not having the best of games so far. To be honest while we are generally controlling the game bar the stuff ups we are looking fairly toothless up front. Haven't really created any notable chances during the half
 
Scholes and Giggs off for Cleverley and Buttner? I really think that's the best we can do to try and win this game, which is shocking as you wouldn't even say that's more attacking really.

Yep true, there's no options at all for us.
Though I think no one will be replaced come half time.

At around the hour mark maybe Giggsy will be replaced reluctantly for Clev.
 
We were looking OK until the 2nd goal. Fell to pieces after that. Came back into it at the end.
 
Crapness from the defence and De Gea has screwed everything today. Don't see any options on the bench to turn this one so much. Not looking good. Best hope may be that Sunderland can hold City out in the other game.
 
We've played as well as Mike Dean.

To nobodys shock who saw the team line up of course.
 
The core of the problem is poor defense. Rarely have both center backs performed in the same match, a lot of incoherence and miscommunication. You see it every game and it's why we can't keep a clean sheet despite dominating a game. When the match isn't dominated it's often glaringly obvious.
 
God, if you can hear me, I swear I'll be a nice lad next year, I swear, just fix Valencia and make us score in this game please?
 
We'll be sound guys and come good in the second half. (I hope) :nervous:
