Why do we always have to sit back after scoring, go for the second to finish the game off ffs. Norwich are awful.

Could have posted this at the 5 minute mark.
very scrappy now
feck sake, this game is going to have the same sort of last 5/10 mins the Hull game had
Our ball retention must be one of the worst amongst the "top" sides in Europe.
We need another....
When in doubt, hoof.
No idea why Van Wolfswinkel was wanting a pen.
Getting nervous now
Just heard a shout from the United end towards Ashley Young:
"keep it up Young MOTM in the bag"
Not sure if sarcasm?
"keep it up Young MOTM in the bag"
Not sure if sarcasm?
Maybe we're tired too? Half of this team played a tough game 48 hours ago.
Depends. We're great at retaining possession in our own half.
Evans is obviously a very good defender it's hard to argue against that. However I'm starting to wonder if he makes a good partnership with Smalling. He and our defence as a whole looks so much better when he plays with Vidic.
Hull 5-0...
Not looking forward to the next 10-15 minutes or so...
Also Carrow Road has always been a tough ground for us in the last 3 years. If I recall correctly, we've only picked up 1 point from 9.
Norwich didn't play on Thursday?
I've got this weird feeling just about every duo we've used at the back had a good game, which made people declare 'this is out best!'.
Park the bus
We've not had one corner yet. Shows our attacking threat
Maybe statistically but when they play together look weaker. The Hull game is just one example of that.
Welbecks trying to be too clever now,
steal it then give it away...ugh.
Evra has had a good 2nd half don't you all agree?
Sitting back as if we're facing city.
Why are we contented to try hang on to the 0-1? It's come back and bitten us on the arse so many times already this season! Go for the fecking second, United!
Poor cross
I fecking hate it when we stop trying to score.
Jesus, Ashley young. It's so preprogrammed.
Bad crosses from Young
We're a much fitter team then norwich who had most of their team play 48 hours ago, when they lost 2-1 at home to Fulham.
It's not just this game. Almost every game we're leading in we settle for the 1 goal lead and it's cost us quite a few times this season.
Another amazing cross.
One of those defeats there was in 2005. We had tough couple of matches there. Doesn't mean every one has to be. Mind you, with the way we close out games, hold on tight...
To be fair, new manager and a raft of injuries. Ball retention is greatly helped by consistency and fluidity. Hard to have when the side is chopped and changed due to injury every single game. So whilst I agree we are largely crap at keeping the ball, I do predict brighter things in the future.
Right now, 3 points will suffice. Especially so given the debacles against Everton, WBA and Newcastle.
Sums us up. Nice break on could keep pushing towards the box and try and get a second instead we hold it up and try and break them down slowly
I hope we are not thinking of paying Young this week.
Young's effort has been good today but his crosses have been terrible. Terrible in a different way than Valencia
fecking hell his crossing..
But Young has been decent today, my MOTM overall.

Your agenda is to constantly defend his mediocre or invisible games calling them tidy for example. I was excited about Adnan coming today because I think he is one of the best young prospects we've had in years and I'm always excited to see him play.
Norwich are gonna have at least one chance. We need this second.
