[joedirt87]

We may not be

That’s the point though isn’t it. We needed a striker better than midtable level to improve us. Even if he has talent for the future (which he clearly does), currently he wouldn’t start for any other top half team.

Yeah but right now I'm not sure there is a striker in the world that could paper over all these cracks.

 

[laughtersassassin]

Can you blame them for being deflated when it should clearly be 1-0 if not for that absolutely outrageous VAR decision.

Yes I can and will blame them. We are the worse side in every match we play

 

[RedUnited86]

Another enthralling first half showing. Cheers for that lads

 

[100]

I know the movement ahead of them might be shit, but why do Maguire and Evans not move the ball around the defence at a minimum. Why this standing over the ball shit, like Fulham wouldn’t be happy with a draw?

 

[gerdm07]

McT has been our best player

He's has been pretty good. So far our midfield has been decent at keeping the ball. Usually we give the ball away often so I'm tracking giveaways for Bruno and McT

 

[LInkash]

Couldn't keep my eyes open, not sure if it's because I'm tired or if the football is boring me like LVGball.

 

[Slevs]

Unlucky with the offside, milimeters in it.

Everything just dies when it goes to Antony

 

[RedSky]

We're just a crap football team.

 

[Alemar]

Lacklustre first half performance, it needs to be said…

 

[Betson]

Underwhelming half again , we just look so flat and devoid of of any ideas. Started with a bit of urgency but that soon ebbed away and Fulham have been the better team overall.

We look so blunt up front.

 

[Hester_manc]

Bruno, Antony, Eriksen and Højlund have all been our worst. And they are the players woh should be creating something. Garnacho has been ok.

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

Go watch a proper striker. Mitrovic, for example, was miles better at Fulham than anything we have seen from Hojland.

His hold up is shit. Not strong enough and his touch is poor. Only good when he’s can run in behind, which most teams won’t give him.

Yeah you have no idea what you’re talking about

 

[FerociousCorgis]

The thing with the offsides decision is the same as the hojlund penalty deciding, if you want to argue it is the"right decision" the problem is that "right decision" is never called. See so many times someone in offside position make movements that somehow are deemed not affecting play that never get called. Just like that"grab" was something you see multiple times every single game

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Is that it, is that the response the team has after Newcastle ! That performance was not good, heads fell after VAR ruled out the goal.

 

[sglowrider]

Suppose you will see some finishing on pornhub

 

[Hughes35]

His team selections make me think he's fallen out with some players, and if so there's no way back.

I agree. I think he's fallen put with Varane.

 

[always_hoping]

United should be 1-0 in front at half time, VAR and the ref can feck right off. Other than that it's been a half of two mediocre sides in action.

 

[christinaa]

Based on?

Well, if you can't see that United are playing better football today then that's your answer.

 

[UnsungHero]

As bad a half as we've seen in the past decade. Horrendous.

 

[justboy68]

My God that was a dull half of football. But we should be ahead. Fecking refs.

 

[Superden]

Hojland lack of mobility is a major problem for us. Just not dynamic enough to be a top PL player.

thats unfair, he needs some bloody service. and when he does get it, not much point when our other fwds are stood on the wings and the midfield just watch.

 

[Kostov]

Blame the manager for both then, picked him as captain and picks him to play.

I do. Both need sacking, for Bruno I said from the start he ain’t a captain unlike for ETH who I though is good enough.

 

[Fortitude]

Like a Johnstone’s Paint trophy match.

 

[Sandikan]

Two limited teams.

 

[laughtersassassin]

Put Haaland up front for us and he'd have like 1 or two goals in the prem this season max.

 

[MrBest]

Antony pathetic, Bruno pathetic, 5 or 6 in the average or below average bracket. Thought Garnacho looked positive but nothing special, mctoninay showing energy but nothing special, dalot looked okay in defence, one good block. The whole thing is just terrible and not exciting. We are long ball FC, and I'd rather have Sean Dyche or Big Sam managing that type of football that the Hag.

 

[Marcus]

We set up to overload attack to score. We often don't. Then we get so bloody outnumbered at the back in the counter. Seriously EtH? What the hell is that?

 

[HookedOnAPhelan]

As bad a half as we've seen in the past decade. Horrendous.

Come on, no need to exaggerate.

 

[Hughie77]

Makes Nani and Young look like prime Ronaldo and Giggs.

I'd take Nani there now above this guy even D James was better than him.

 

[AndyMUFC]

It's a dull game but by the standards we've shown so far this season it was okay. We're not suddenly going to start playing amazing.

The quality in the final third is so poor though, we've got in some good positions and won the ball high up a few times before gifting it straight to them, and that's where any threat from them is coming from.

 

[AdNani]

Why isn't there an option to turn the commentary off and just have the ground audio?

Jenas is a fecking weapon. Just talks absolute shite. He's not shut up about United for the entire half. I get it, we're shit, but he's just making things up and doesn't stop talking.

He adds absolutely zero insight.

Watching United is painfull enough as it is at the moment without this cretin giving me ear cancer.

‘God knows what’s going on with Marcus, arguably the best player at the club’

it’s arguable he’s been the worst player at the club this season. He’s been told to talk about how bad everything is by the sounds of it, feck knows how he came to the conclusion the offside was the correct decision either

 

[Nogbadthebad]

Everything Antony touches, turns to possession for Fulham, what is up with him?

Hes been utterly hopeless since all this investigation started. He wasn't up to much beforehand, but he is visibly worse now.

Should be nowhere near the squad

 

[Smithy89]

My God that was a dull half of football. But we should be ahead. Fecking refs.

Ten hag ball for you.

 

[2 man midfield]

Well, if you can't see that United are playing better football today then that's your answer.

I actually can’t, it’s been gash. What’s been good about it?

 

[Sandikan]

Hojland lack of mobility is a major problem for us. Just not dynamic enough to be a top PL player.

Lack of mobility? He's quite mobile isn't he? And a sub 11 100metre runner, so has sheer pace too.

I suspect it's the way we play that makes him look so limited.

 

[DanielofLeyland]

Trying to be positive I think we have been more focussed compared to against Newcastle. Fernandes and Dalot particularly looking better. I feel McTominay has been our stand out performer so far. Playing well linking up with Garnacho and defending ably as well.

Unfortunately, the same issues persist. Poor passing and technique up front. Eriksen is being overrun and Antony is a joke of a footballer. I'd bring on Amrabat at half time for Antony and move Fernandes out wide. Eriksen needs help and we need more bodies in midfield.

 

[lex talionis]

We wuz robbed with the hideous referee decision, but our play overall was poor.

 

[gerdm07]

Come on Erik, we want some Mainoo in second half!

Yes! Give us some hope for the season

 

[kopviolator]

Several posters here have moaned about our moaning. Fair enough. How about if we all agree to lavish endless praise on our performance no matter what in the second half?

Now there’s a challenge

 

[The Mitcher]

Lost the ball every time he received it, he's years from being good enough.

He's done nothing for us apart from that galatassary game.
