The Manchester United Thread

Genuine question, when was the last time we scored a well worked team goal under Ole? It's nearly always something out of nothing or one player creating something out of nothing. They all count but there is nothing of any meaningful substance football wise to suggest what we are building.

I really don't get this 5 at the back formation either, I mean sure it works to a degree against bigger teams defensively but totally pointless against lesser sides if you ask me. Negates any of our limited attack we already have.

Meh, don't even know anymore, Ole gets results in big games but everything else leaves a lot to be desired for me. Is that all his fault? Would it improve with a few more signings against lesser teams? I'm convinced we'll have similar problems next season, against "lesser" teams anyway. Which is 90% of our games on paper, that's the issue. You need a concrete way of breaking these teams down.
 
Team vs Derby this morning

Mastny
Neville Hockenhull Hardley Devine
Svidersky McCann
Wellens Mejbri Stanley
Sotona

Subs: Mee, Hughes, Forson, Haygarth, Shoretire

Strong team from United (Mejbri & Devine dropping down) as the U23s don’t have an official match until 2 March.
 
Just realized how increasingly irrelevant mourinho's tactics are becoming. Reactive football is a dying breed since teams don't naively commit men forward after scoring


Thing is I just don't get what spurs are tryna do. Are they tryna defend/park the bus? They push a decent number of players forward and they're pretty **** at it. Are they tryna play on the counter? They're playing too many side passes for that. Are they trying to counter press? They have just Moura and Bergwin pressing higher up so it's half assed.

At least with OGS, you see he has the team always set up to play on the break, using the pace of Martial, James, Greenwood and Rashford. Don't get what Mourinho's plan is. Maybe he's really missing Harry Kane...

I just wished they scraped it entirely. In your opinion, which decision was worse? The Lo celso one or the Maguire one?

Today’s was shocking but both were terrible decisions. Maguire kicks out and Lo Celso blatantly stamped on the lad.

I just don’t know how VAR can look at those incidents however many times and not see the violent intent in either?

Just WHAT is the point of anything if they don’t see any wrong on the 43rd look at a blatant stamp on an opponent?

Madness. Only last month they make a big song and dance about the on-field ref checking the monitor on red card incidents. Yet Oliver completely ignores it.

And don’t get me started on the VAR carnage the Burnley- Bournemouth game.

How anyone can still defend this, like it currently is, is beyond me?
