Post-match discussion


Sat, 23 December 2017

Only ourselves to blame. Lukaku laid it on the plate for three of them. He should have had three assists.

Agree. The 3 fecking stooges. I get they are young. But you just cant miss open goals.

Im not surprised if we buy another attacker which will ultimately force them to the bench. That was atrocious finishing which cost us 3 points.
 
Dont care. Top 4 in the bag. Just silly how many chances we wasted.

Also, Smalling should never have been playing at the back after his injury. Cant defend. Just creates confusion

That was my thought as well. Whether Smalling coming on or off should not be the matter, because he should never do any real work in those extra time. Why was Smalling guarding the far post, the most dangerous area of this diagonal cross. OK Lukaku doesn't want that responsibility but there are may other defender or DMF who can do this job.

I don't think I can watch us in the league anymore right now, too depressing, I know its sounds crap but that's how I feel right now. Just watch the champions league, but even then, probably be disappointed as well.
 
Bar Mata, Lukaku was surrounded by uncreative goons tonight.
Still clearly not Manchester United standard, there is no way we should be 13 points off the pace by Christmas.
Big improvements needed if we want to be a top team again.
 
So frustrating - the chance to open-up a five point gap on Chelsea at the half-way point and we throw it away :mad:
 
The absolute state of our decision making in the final 10 minutes tonight. We should've been at least three goals ahead by the end of normal time. De Gea hadn't a save to make all second half and we somehow come away with only a draw.

LOL.
 
Don' understand why smalling was still playing defense. And I don' understand how martial and rashford don' know how to score.
 
They just seem such an unlikeable team at the moment. Really struggling to watch them.
 
No leadership at all. No ability to see a game out, there was no pressure at all on us yet we still gift then an opportunity.
Considering this is a 'Jose' team we are so poor at gamesmanship and the dark arts. 10 v 10 for the last ten minutes with mike's injury, why not run the clock down and see the game out instead of letting them cross balls in for fun.
 
We are not winning the title, so at best we can say we aren't affected much by this result as Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal drew.

But I hope now people stop blaming the manager from now on. Rashford and Martial are overhyped and Lingard is average. There is only so much Jose can do with the inconsistency of these three. We need signings in their positions.

We aren't just replacing all of our attackforce in a window, thats mental
 
Rashford is the most selfish player I have seen in ages.
 
The shit finishing doesn’t even annoy me, it’s the fact we can’t take a ball to a corner flag. Thick twats.
 
Watching this tonight, there is no fecking way that they doing anything related to attacking on training, not a chance.
 
Should have left Martial on instead of preserving Rashford's appearance streak... no need to play Mkhi either with only a one goal lead. Terrible, terrible draw... will feel annoyed for a long time.
 
Absolutely ridiculous, Jose must have fecking lost the plot to not sort them out. No leaders on the pitch and none on the bench. Dreadful play up top wasting chance after chance. No control of the game against a side with ten men that hardly play with the ball normally.
 
Nah. A few of our players are simply not of the required quality as well.
Yeah, because they’re incapable of dealing with the pressure and delivering consistent performances. Or they just don’t work hard enough.
 
Gutted. Obviously should have put the game to bed. Really amazed at the lack of a sensible reaction to Smalling's injury - surely should have moved out to a more forward position and probably dropped Matic back, with Pogba and Herrera to function as midfield.
 
Rashford needs to learn from Lukaku, try to release a ball quick before it too late.
 
Just needs someone to say , it's only 13 points, it's only late December....
Well no, it really doesn't matter in the grand sense of things. There is something negative going on in the dressing room but today's game shouldn't trigger that many people. We've had much worse performances where we've won the 3 points. We did create enough today and the results is a freak outcome. I've been raging to find reasons for negativity but today it aint one of those days.
 
We continuously praise our youth in Lingard, Rashford and Martial. They've been diabolical. They simply can't play together. No chemistry. No desire.

Try and blame Mourinho for that one!! That's on the players
 
Feck feck feck feck feck feck feck feck feck feck............ can go on and on. Seriously we could have won this 4-1 but drew it 2-2. How the hell did that happen????? Our forward line is a joke, our defense is made up of fragile glass. How the feck are we suppose to compete at the top level like this??Drawing to 10 men Leicester City? SERIOUSLY. United is a mess, mess of shit. Parking the bus against a 10 men team with a 1 goal lead, who the feck does that??? Tired of this site.
 
I don't like calling our own players dumb, but that was such an unprofessional display towards the end.

Like wtf. Do they even have brains?

What a waste.
 
The missed sitters were obviously bad, and something should have been done about Smalling because he shouldn’t have been who was on McGuire on that last free kick, but the thing that really sticks out to me and angers me is that breakaway we had a couple minutes or so before Leicester equalized...

I mean, wth is Rashford doing jogging to the ball, then holding onto it instead of playing in a wide open Lukaku...?

The game could have been killed right there, there was “blood in the water” and we should have attacked, but he just sat on the ball. I don’t get it.
 
First of all Martial, Rashford, Lingard should have all buried their chances to finish the match.

I never understand why the feck we cannot dominate the possession in the last few minutes every match. Just keep the ball, why invite unwanted pressure? It happened against Bournemouth,WBA and now against Leicester(with 10 men). Horrible tactics to concede possession.
 
People blaming lukaku know nothing about football. Fools. He put chances on a plate for his teammates and they choked
Yep. Lukaku was decent today. Not a top performance by any means but he functioned ok. With better finishing, he ends up today with 2 or more assists and people would be praising how his overall hold-up game is coming along.
 
All over the place. Some good, some bad. Some creativity and a lot of wasteful decision making.

Pogba, Rashford, Jones and Herrera all stood out for me as poor performers for different reasons.

Feel for Mata, Lingard and Lukaku who all played well. Also feel for Smalling who got screwed over for both goals.
 
Rubbish. Awful. Disgraceful. Terrible. Horrible. I hate football. We're shit, we've been shit for four and a half years and nothing seems to change.
Spot on , to many muppets around here pull you up and say don’t be dramatic, but you are spot on.
 
Did we try an attack? No
Did we try and keep the ball? No
Did we attempt to run down the clock? No

Honestly, there was no strategy at all there. Absolutely disgraceful

fecking this, what exactly was the plan. This happens every time we take a lead, we just give up playing any type of football.
