Bebe has looked very amateurish on the ball during the first half. He makes even Gibson look like a star graduate of Barcelona's academy.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Billy Gunn!
At least he didn't put them to Row Z as per usual.
Can someone tell that fecking ball bag retard Stuart Robson that we're called "Manchester United" not "Manch United".
Bebe lacks composure... but expected since he hasn't played too much. He's way over hitting his crosses.
That'll do,
So far Gibson has been majestic, Brown has looked like he knows he's better than all the crawley players put together, Fabio and Rafael are looking like fantastic wing prospects. Carrick is doing a Miller, Hernandez is buzzing around, Bebe is crossing, Obertan is on the left somewhere giving the ball away.

This isn't really fair is it? Our '2nd string' is several classes above but still the usual suspects letting the side down (Obertan/Bébé) but Gibson has really stepped up. Carrick is class...
He looks good today, too bad that when playing better teams he doesn't get that much time on the ball... That is his biggest problem, he doesn't handle pressure well at all.
Did Gibson drink this before the game?
Really hope to see someone up top with hernandez sometime soon in the second half.
Oi, Stuart Robson, we're called 'Manchester United', not 'Manch United'
Exactly. People should remember that.
This is what Bebe is to SAF

You watched Space Jam too, eh?
Two upfront would be nice, other than that taking care of business.
Very unimpressed with the lack of progress Obertan has made.
Yep, I said pretty much the same thing to be honest. I was just expecting more than one goal in the first half.
I also can't make up my mind about Obertan and Bebe aswell.
Maybe...
Also, their manager is a Chav.

Obertan is gutless.
Good half of football, Wes and Sheasy have given us a solid platform to build on, Gibson started off sloppy but has played some really telling passes in the latter stages of the half, the twins have been good in attack and Hernandez is lively.
Obertan looks pretty nervy when it comes to releasing the ball but he moves with it will, Bebe on the other hand looks full of confidence but is raw as hell and seems to aim for the winger on the opposite side with all of his power crosses.

I guess that first half was OK then.
No need to change anything just yet. The players out there need the game time, we can clearly see that. Defensively there hasn't been much to worry about. But at least the midfield and attack are starting to come together now. So many passes, crosses and opportunities have been wasted by a lack of awareness/anticipation. This team needs more time to gel and we should let them have it. Kudos to Gibson for stepping up his game and running the show.

Crawley fans support their local team.
Their manager is physically inbred.
Obertan has been awful since returning from the production of the latest Simon Pegg film.
Pogba for carrick.
I like the fact that we've been first to nearly every 50/50 ball. Nothing wrong from the commitment/complacency side of things so far.
We have some right clowns in the side though, if we're being brutally honest. It's a somewhat sad stsate of affairs when we go 4-3-3 at home to Crawly fecking Town, and Darron Gibson has to be the one to step up and even get us on the front foot. Their players were more composed on the ball than ours for most of the half!
That said, if we had two strikers on the pitch, it'd probably be about 4-0 by now.

Articulate as ever, Gordon.
not really
he was ok but then the opposition are shit so i think we can expect that out lads should be head and shoulders and the rest above them
Its been nothing better than a professional performance which will do. I think we will get a few more in the next half if we press home our fitness and talent superiority.
Bebe is not a right winger.
'You're just a parking lot for Gatwick!' should be sung by our fans.
Obertan seems to have forgotten how to dribble.
I want to see Bebe's rocket shot in the second half. As well as Pogba/Tunnicliffe/King, obviously.

Rather King for Obertan.
Obertan is showing no progress. He has pace and obvious talent but no end product. Very frustrating. He should be ripping non league Crawley a new arse-hole. And he needs to bulk as well.
Lindegaard is kind of insane.
"We should sell that Gibson fella, Ted."
"Shut up, Dougal."
Goalie?
Does Bebe ever look up before putting in a cross?
2 superb through balls from Gibson. Not keen on his decisions to shoot though.
Bebe and Obertan have a long way to go. Obertan looks absolutely lost out there.
