NE1 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Watching the Palace game emphasised to me just how slow we really are. Pellistri and Højlund were making some great runs but we are not delivering. We always want that extra touch or two or we haven't got the skill or confidence to find the runners. I remember Ferguson telling Scholes , Rooney , Carrick etc. "if they can't find Van Persie when he is making his runs , he will find somebody who can ". Rashford once again is to predictable . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyF Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Højlund looked good last night. Looks like a good signing. Onana is having a 'mare though. United's one saving grace last season was their defence (mainly due to DDG) and now they look like they need to score at least 4 to have a chance of winning. Could be tough to qualify from here... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentioning fanatics, ofttimes when I am looking at Match of the Day on BBC iPlayer, I see people gesticulating rudely at the opposition players, and/or screaming and shouting as if they are going to have a breakdown. When I used to watch Brighton and Hove Albion as a boy, going there with a family friend who was a supporter, I never saw any of this behaviour, everyone was well behaved and there was none of that rubbish. How times have changed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right about going to the game to "exteriorize their behaviour", and I recall something similar a few decades ago with a gang of Chelsea fans who would go to the games to cause mayhem and to injure/stab people, rather than for the football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're flattered by their current league position due to some late goals in very poor performances. On the down side, he has a very poor squad that can't play the type of possession football that he wants to play. He'll do well to finish top 6 with those players, assuming he lasts the season.

NE1 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 IMHO they lack vision and speed to get the ball moving , there doesn't appear to be any one touch football played , the majority of them just do not require the skill By the time they get the ball under control and looked up every body has been closed down . We need to play the ball forward quicker. Do or die tonight , they need this win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
