[Ollie Derbyshire]

Where’s the pressing gone? Can’t believe we haven’t done any yet, thought that’s what Rangnick demand.

 

[YouknowNani]

If he doesn't sub Rashford off he's genuinely another clueless coward of a manager who sticks with club favourites over playing the best/most in form players.

 

[TrustInJanuzaj]

Another game, another shite Rashford performance. Gets away with murder.

 

[RedIan]

What happened to the high intensity pressing game?

We need to step up a gear 2nd half. Switch Rashford out and mason on. Sancho is very quiet too.

Mctominay motm first half.

 

[RedSky]

Very slow on the ball all over the pitch.

 

[Hugh Jass]

Rashford having an absolute mare.

Poor opening 20, but got a bit better later on. Still poor overall though.

 

[Baneofthegame]

Bruno and Rashford have been awful, summed up by Rashfords shoulder pass as if we were 4-0 up.

Maguire has been good, no pressing today?

 

[TheLord]

Love to know what the hell people see in Rashford

He’s an MBE.

 

[Kinky Melinky]

I don't understand why Rashford is getting the nod ahead of Greenwood who is looking very sharp at the moment. Rashford really struggles with passing the ball.

 

[eire-red]

We've made the worst attack in the league look threatening, and haven't troubled the worst defence in the league much. Sums us up really.

Our attacking players making the wrong decision on the ball time and time again. Greenwood on please, he's the only forward we have who has quality decision making.

 

[r0663664]

Whole team playing badly, players are on different wavelength. This will be 1-0 to either team. Rashford simply doesn't bring any value to our game. I prefer Greenwood.

 

[#07]

Some of the decision making in the final third has been abysmal, especially from Rashford. Beating men and playing back passes. Pointless.

Our tactical approach seems much more cautious than last week. It almost feels like the coaches have told us not to press as much, so we don't run out of puff. We could do with more aggression though.

Defensively, for the most part, we've been okay. That's the biggest positive.

 

[calodo2003]

Decent in snatches.

But no real thrust.

 

[simonhch]

People being really negative. You can see so much improvement in our overall play and shape. Energy better, pressing better. Forward progression of the ball better. The two forwards, Ronaldo and Rashford, have been really off colour so far, which is where it’s all breaking down.

I think some patience and realism is required. So much negativity in here. Gets really boring. The endless slating of players as being fundamentally crap, or finished…..I just wonder whether some people have any attention span at all. Form and confidence aren’t just an on/off switch.

 

[Ibi Dreams]

Last 10 minutes was better, but overall poor. Rashford's end product is completely gone today, he hasn't made a single good decision when he's had the ball near their goal

Just don't know why we look so slow

 

[izec]

Rashford kills every attack

 

[TMDaines]

Considering this team has had a week on the training ground under the new manager that is a big disappointment. We look like we have taken a big backward step from Palace and look how we did under Ole, albeit slightly more solid.

 

[leontas]

Some of our decision making is truly frustrating and bafffling - particularly Rashford. Ronaldo also had some poor moments and overall disappointed to see us not press at all as we did v Palace. Hopefully we wake up in the second half.

 

[The Brown Bull]

Time for Secondhalf FC to appear.

 

[arnie_ni]

Fully confident we'll win but that was poor

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

I think Rangnick has told them to conserve energy in the game for midweek. He'll quickly learn you can't take the foot off the gas in any PL game.

He probably didn't.

 

[Adisa]

Rashford is just head down and run. Needs to be aware.

 

[tyunited]

Another struggle for top 4 this season.

 

[IhabX7]

Shaw for Telles
Greenwood for Rashford
Donny for Bruno

 

[jamesjimmybyrondean]

Mctominay the best player so far. Bruno and Rashford absolute shit. I think the combination of the front 2 is not perfect. Rashford and Ronaldo are too similar

 

[choccy77]

Still need to find out who McKenner is talking to on the phone.

 

[Bobski]

I don't see this formation working against teams who park the bus. It is all set up for quick transitions, you will not get those in this type of game, and the lack of width makes it a grind waiting for a moment of quality.

 

[Idxomer]

The Rashford-Ronaldo partnership is shit, don’t know why managers try stuff that's so obviously not going to work.

 

[JinnerJamie]

Controlled the game but look a little toothless, Rashford has been shocking… up the tempo and we’ll beat them comfortably.

 

[Siorac]

Greenwood and Lingard on for Rashy and Bruno please

Please don't. He's had enough chances.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Rashford and Bruno poor. Hopefully Ralf doesn't have "undroppable" players.

And Norwich fans really like to boo don't they? Support your own team, you inbred bunch of yokels.

 

[Denis79]

Poor first half, hopefully 2nd is better. Rashford completely out of form and needs to be subbed.

 

[El Jefe]

None of the fullbacks or CMs are starting quality IMO and when you add Bruno and Rashford's recent form (a bit more than recent) it's no surprise we've been poor.

 

[HailtotheKing]

Rashford look shockingly bad. Needs to be subbed.

Atrocious decision making today from Rashford. Bruno’s looked off it. Ronaldo in bad touch but could still see him scoring off a half chance. McTominays looked alright. Crap 45.

 

[M Bison]

Why, what did you do?

This is the weirdest exchange I’ve ever had on the caf.

Enjoy the rest of the game, let’s hope for 3 points.

 

[Berbaclass]

Bruno and Rashford off for Mason and Donny/Jesse

 

[RonaldoVII]

If he doesn't sub Rashford off he's genuinely another clueless coward of a manager who sticks with club favourites over playing the best/most in form players.

Sure he is..

 

[Garethw]

that was nowhere near good enough, you'd think they'd be trying to impress their new coach, but no

The new coach needs to impress too. This 4222 formation is far too narrow.

 

[UncleBob]

Rashford with another absolute shit performance, again

 

[BusbyMalone]

Where’s the pressing gone? Can’t believe we haven’t done any yet, thought that’s what Rangnick demand.

We're not fit enough. This team has been under-coached for years. It's going to take some time to get some consistency down with that.
