Match Thread Man Utd (H) - Sunday 5th Jan 16:30

[Markeh]

this is just one of those games where trent coasts waiting for a wonder ball to overrule his unimpressive performance

 

[Fabio]

That was fucking dreadful

 

[Fabio]

This weather is terrible for our intricate passing in fairness

That's a bullshit excuse

Half hearted performances out there and there's no fucking need for itn

 

[Hansern]

That was awful by Salah. Come on man.

TAA is killing us at the moment and Konate / midfield aren’t covering for him as effectively as they normally do. Maybe Konate isn’t fully fit?

Subs at HT me thinks. Szobo needs to come on.

Need Szobo to get out of bed and drive to Anfield for the 2nd half

 

[rubans]

Gakpo too has been slow, so many attacks stopped with him. Warm Jota up.

 

[Holle]

Also Trent is really hurting us right now.
Hojlund would have been offside if it wasn't for him

We should send the jogging around cunt to Madrid already.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Half time shake up.

Think we'll see a tactical shift before a personnel shift.

Harvey for Jones before 60 though if things don't change. And Trent needs to shape up.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Don’t think they can play much better of us much worse so hopefully we pick it up a couple of gears in the second half.

 

[FreshRed]

Two minutes? Fuck off.
Both Utd injuries were 3 mins each.

I was hoping for 0 minutes. Time to regroup.

 

[DHSC]

Jones and TAA awful.
Front 3 lots of effort but no end product.

 

[darkstarexodus]

this is just one of those games where trent coasts waiting for a wonder ball to overrule his unimpressive performance

Unfortunately his passing has been shit today too.

 

[Hansern]

Awful first half. No desire, no running, no passion and no guts.
The good thing is that we can only play better. Hopefully.

It’s not bullshit. It doesn’t wholly explain a sub-par first half, but it’s certainly a factor.

 

[Buddha]

Thank God we’ve got some shit hot subs to come on.

 

[tombrown]

Slot HT magic required

Incoming…

 

[keniget]

Ah. Didn't even realize Szob wasn't in the squad. Hmm. Tricky one then.

Jones has been shit but not sure this is the right moment for Elliot to come on. Endo perhaps?

 

[Frogfish]

I wish someone would take a baseball bat to Trent. WTAF ! Horrendous in defence and utter shite in attack. Get Gomez on.

 

[Hansern]

Both the local lads have been awful. Not good.

 

[Hansern]

I wish someone would take a baseball bat to Trent. WTAF ! Horrendous in defence and utter shite in attack. Get Gomez on.

Even with one hamstring he would have been better today

 

[Markeh]

i think we need diaz out wide

 

[Accedalyday]

Trent - terrible.
Curtis - terrible, too ponderous and clear as day what the difference between him and sboz.
Konate - solid, but can't cover for Trent always.
Salah - will wait to read dreamy's wrap up after another 2 goal performance.
Mac - excellent
Diaz and gakpo - too timid.
Robbo- ok
Alli - that's why he's the best

 

[DHSC]

Ah. Didn't even realize Szob wasn't in the squad. Hmm. Tricky one then.

Jones has been shit but not sure this is the right moment for Elliot to come on. Endo perhaps?

Jota on for Jones and go 4-2-4.

Agree. Visibility must be difficult with heavy rain in your face and footing uncertain given the amount of spray you can see from the ball

 

[rubans]

Helps if the fans there create some atmosphere too. Feels like all there entitled to watch a smashing which was really on this fixture despite some recent big wins.

 

[Accedalyday]

I was hoping for 0 minutes. Time to regroup.

There's rarely proper extra time at half time ... unless a serious reasons ...

 

[DHSC]

I wish someone would take a baseball bat to Trent. WTAF ! Horrendous in defence and utter shite in attack. Get Gomez on.

Not sure if serious...

Unless you meant Bradley.

 

[Fabio]

It’s not bullshit. It doesn’t wholly explain a sub-par first half, but it’s certainly a factor.

A factor which doesn't impact us hitting pointless crosses in to the box when noone is there. It doesn't stop Jones from releasing the ball, doesn't stop Trent over hitting everything.

It's a factor, but it's nowhere near enough of a reason. United have to deal with that as well, and they're overcoming it. And apparently they're shite

 

[DHSC]

Anyway I think they'll crack if we get the first goal.

 

[Hansern]

Yeah, Anfield has been off as well.
Need more from everyone.
