Playing too conservative, all these draws we should have risked more for the win. 3 matches 3 draws 3 points. Lose 2 win 1 is 3 points. It’s madness playing for the draw.
Great movement from keeper, but what was Bissaka doing, on tonight's performance get on the blower to Dortmund asapWhat a save from Henderson!!
And it’s only going to get worse with the run of games in regards to Bruno’s form. He isn’t being rested against City or Milan. I know he makes the right noises about not needing a rest but there comes to a point where your play is a few percent worse because of fatigue - and the signs are there with Bruno and Rashford.Dare I say it I’m not fancying us for top 4 we are sinking like a stone but we kind of know with this team they can suddenly spark and come good but that needs to happen soon.
That was rotten tonight whole team looks dead on its feet and has done for months now season just drifting away Ole needs to find a solution to it and get them buzzing again.
Bench now looks weak because of a few injuries so his options are limited to an extent not sure if fitness is an issue but McTominay has to start that game.
Up top you have to question why Bruno and Rashford are playing Europa League games they look absolutely dead.
The spotlight will turn back to Ole as time after time we have these long runs of poor form it’s so hot and cold he needs to fix that because we’ve had a pretty nice run of fixture recently and not made anything like the most out of it.
I've been worried about this for a while.Dare I say it I’m not fancying us for top 4 we are sinking like a stone
Yes, definitely. If the coaching team had an inkling of a more detailed plan, we'd have seen it by now.Is there a danger that if we buy better players the plan continues to be go out and make somthing happen?
It really does seem like the players just run around and hope something opens up in front of them. There really does not seem to be anything that would look like a tactic or series of actions to get us into scoring positions. The instructions might as well be "give it to Bruno".Our lack of progress is obvious. We still rely on our players to make it up as they go along. Luckily, we have some good players, but without a proper plan, that approach is severely limited.
Maybe but if it doesn’t work then we know the problem is with the coaching staff and not the players and something is then done about it like what happened to Frank at ChelseaIs there a danger that if we buy better players the plan continues to be go out and make somthing happen?
If that's the entirety of our tactical planning, no wonder we're struggling.The plan is pretty obvious we sit off teams to draw them out then try to quickly hit the spaces they leave behind.
I 100% agree with thisI do think there is an issue when players don't feel any pressure for their position. What really happens to Rashford, Bruno or Maguire if they don't perform. Nothing
What is startling is how much we miss a genuine striker. Someone like Van Nistelrooy or Solskjaer himself - someone who will always score you goals when the games are tight. Even we could do with Hernandez right now. Cavani is doing his best but he’s 34 at the end of the day. Rashford, Martial and Greenwood all lack that striker instinct right now. I pray we can get in Haaland but I fear that could be a forlorn dream.
Granted we need the service which is again where we are lacking with Bruno and Rashford out of form. We have badly missed Pogba and this bad run has coincided with him being out.
We need to see the City game as a way to redeem ourselves but we have to be on it from minute one or we are going to have our pants pulled down.
