Match Day Thread Manchester United v Arsenal

I have decided to stop watching our weekend matches - they are all ****. Mid-week we are brilliant, so **** the PL, let's just go for the CL final and play scintillating , attacking football - so long as we leave Pogba on the bench. Sorted

 

Anyone else notice that when Martial is off the pitch Bruno is nowhere near as effective?

 

When will solskjaer learn that Pogba and Fernandes shouldn't start together? I said it earlier. When together these 2 introduce an element of hesitation. To be fair everyone was ****. Within 10 minutes I knew we would struggle. We couldn't put 3 passes together and when arsenal pressed our defenders they behaved as frightened pussies.

Solskjaer has better choose the players he can trust to fight in the trenches for him sooner rather than later. Otherwise he'll be out of a job when things cannot be retrieved.

 

There is a guile to Martial’s game when the ball is at his feet that’s largely complimentary to the rest of the attacking players. I really like him playing from the left as well. I don’t think he’s a real number 9 in that sense.

 

The fact we couldn't string more than 2 passes together and the fact we were too narrow at times was very much evident in the first half against Leipzig also.

I dare say if Greenwood had put that chance away today, the first half would've been a carbon copy of the that game. The goals mask our inconsistencies, and when the goals dry up, they're exposed for all to see.

We have a good squad except at cb. 7 points from 6 games is a poor return with the squad we have. How anyone thinks we're improving is beyond me tbh.

 

It times like these I miss Matth.

 

You must miss him a lot

 

Could you imagine the umpteen threads on here if he was ffs!

 

Decent squad, absolutely piss poor management from top to bottom.

Simple as that really.

Solskjaer, as I've said before, could be an ok DoF as he's bought well.

****e manager though.

 

It's a shame that Woodward won't see the opportunity here to move Ole into that role and get a new manager in before we lose another season to "transitioning". It could also be that Ole only wants to be a manager and not Director of Football. But ultimately, it shouldn't be Ole's call to remain in the role when the team has consistently underperformed under his watch. Yup! All fingers point to Woodward yet again, and as such, we are fked!
