The Manchester United Thread

Poor performance tbh! Don't care though through to the next round:) Big plus no more injuries. And more mins for Herrera,DiMaria,Shaw,Rafa,Falcao. Hopefully should have a couple more back for next week.
 
Avoid liverpool and stoke away and city/chelsea home or away that is all i ask for.
 
Is it the system that McNair is getting bullied off the ball? Is it the system that is stopping us playing 2-3 yard passes? Is it the system for our poor concentration? Is it the system that Fletcher is ****? Is it he system that Blackett has no ergency as a player? Think people use this to much, when we cant even do the basics.

Yes. Most of it is due to the system. When CBs have no one to pass they panic and that's what happened in the game. Even the midfield had no forward outlets to pass. Second half improved with 4 man defense and that too with CBs as FBs. System problem is very clear IMO.
 
Funny watching herrera and di maria proper celebrate, west brom scored 7 yesterday and not one was "properly" celebrated was very strange.

So when Fletcher was stood 5 yrds away from Rooney or vice versa and over hits the pass under no pressure is that the system? When about 20 times our players failed to control a simple pass is that the system? Not everything is down to 3 at the back!

Eh no. There's no "system" in existence that can cut off CBs from passing options if everybody actually does their job.

The system would look better with better cb's, a proper midfield and better players suited to the wingback roles but i just want us to play 4 at the back please aha.

Yeah not everything but most of the problems are because of the system. Players looks absolutely clueless with that system and that's one of the reason for basic mistakes. So much doubts on decision making and players rarely move. Not good enough to retain possession, not good enough to attack and not solid enough to defend. What exactly is the use of this system.

Btw how come in the second half players did basics right?

Maybe in an ideal world when players are not suited to a system then you can't expect anything apart from losing possession with that system.

In 3 man defense, 2 CBs will spread out to FB position and central CB should carry ball forward, and you need a player like Pirlo who can control tempo and players like Vidal who are runners to make this system work. We have none.

Me to mate! I will admit I hate 3 at the back, but to blame everything on that is a bit much. I thought we was poor 2nd half even with 4 at the back till they tired after about 60 mins. I think we will play 3 till LVG gets a top CB and a midfield that can control games. We lack quality in both areas.

TBH I thought we were poor with 4 at the back till they got tired after 60-65 mins. I think we will stick with 3 till we get a proper top CB and a midfield that can control games which we lack in both areas.
 
Someone will get injured pre southampton game, i'd bet anything on it.
 
How the **** did they even pick up those injuries? They barely did anything injury-worthy in the first half..
