I agree but that's why I spoke of a similar performance at Burnley. I mean Liverpool and Burnley are like chalk and cheese. If that's the way it is then we will continue to see performances like this for the rest of the season. Our backline and midfield is going to have an inconsistency in both picking and performance. I don't know what the story is regarding Lindelof/Bailly thing.
We hung tough yesterday like i said but then our forwards are on AWOL. Another day our strikers could be on their A game but the defence is only a mistake or lapse away from punishment.
We knew going to Anfield they would in all likelyhood have most of the ball. Even aside from the defence or midfield pickings, them or Ole can't be blamed for the poor passing, decision making and awareness of our forward line. And i lost count the number of offsides we had.

Going to cut them slack today for not going at it. Still had the best chances despite having nothing of the ball, generally speaking. Plus limiting them to moments of mistakes or bad bounces in the box
But again we cant get away from it. I said it prematch. Another no show from our forwards. Today's performance by them would be acceptable normally but we've seen it too often from them in these tight games.
Martial Rashford and Fernandez im talking about. I dont know what Bruno was complaining about when he got subbed?????
Pogba for all his critics tried to make something happen and could have won it for us. Fernandez is due the odd performance like this but he's had one too many of them now. We simply dont have the defensive abilities to justify an all out attacking approach that these guys need. There's going be game like these more often than not.
Liverpool away and Burnley away, in the last 2 league games. ok........ 2 totally different teams in terms of quality but an almost identical set of games in terms of each teams' strengths and how the performances ultimately went. For the plaudits Pogba's finish got other night it was actually scruffy enough But you get what Im saying???
it cant be sexy all the time
what exactly are our front guys looking for here??? its not going to be handed to them. got work for it and be sharper and more clinical. said this before the game.
Anyway if we had been initially offered 4 from 6 against Burnley and Liverpool I'd/we'd have taken it.
But those issues persist

Would be happy with a draw now if it was offered
And for the life of me, if they start. would somebody tell Martial and Rashford to sharpen the hell up and be more fuckin clinical.
Tomorrow is not going to be a day for getting 2 and 3 bites of the cherry.

Season defining few weeks.
Draw just been made for the upcoming rounds of the FA Cup. Should we beat these then in the 5th round Stockport/West Ham/Doncaster at home.
It's all ahead of you Ole. No pressure
Yeah sorry for making this thread but given the nature of it I thought I'd post the news

Wholesale as expected. Big chance for the entire midfield and forward line to put on a show.

Another case of can't defend can't attack in a big game this season. Seeing it too often now

Like I say whisper it quietly.
It's about managing expectations now without dampening them either, but there will be talk.

Not getting carried away but nobody else pulling up trees either. Hard to believe but title winners right down the heart of the team so it's not like we're total novices. If this was a title push in a Fergie season we'd be laughing but its just that unknown with us. We all need convincing maybe even the players but if the chance presents itself...........

We can forget about strategic signings until the summer. Not saying we dont need changes but as with any January window do expect too much. This is actually a good thing for United signing players. No pressure no hype actually equals productive signings.
If everyone stays fit and start performing as a team and working for one another..................erh. I think we actually have enough but just can't take myself to say it. It's been one of these years.
The Foxes anyone? Just saying. It's all about grit now. We've shown we can dig the results out

They all need to stay fit  The attack is what it is and is just doing it so far and in the hunt so we cant complain much there. We haven't come to be relying on new signing Cavani or VDB and they would have been down for pushing hard for starting if not lining out regularly. Judging by the joy showed by fans when we signed VDB anyway The defence will always remain suspect no matter who is starting. Bailly was a calamity waiting to happen not so long ago, that fall guy recently has been AWB so we have to keep going with what we have. But as i say you just never know what you're going to get with us especially at the back. |
