Greenwood must be dumbfounded to be taken off when Martial and Rashford were not doing anything whatsoever. Not subbing off Martial though that took the piss tbh
Yes we saw last time we played Sheffield that their weakness was outside runners making runs behind and Greenwood was literally the only attacking player making runs off the ball Pogba and Bruno had no option. If your going to that stagnant up top you at least need a player next to Pogba to try to connect the lines (Van De Beek/ Mctominay) but of course we had slow ass Matic content as a non defending centre back
Think our luck ran out in the end cant keep playing like this throughout a whole season. Keep conceding, going from behind to try and knick a result. Not champions material
The thing is with United they can go on a few months run of good results, but then we can go on a bad streak.
Just the same cycle

And by the time Ole decides to put VDB on its too late and decides to bring on a left back for attack.
Every time has gives a poor ball hes looking at everyone like "why arent you making up for my horrible passing?"
Man I just watched the 2nd goal again, when he gives the ball away watch how he tracks back
he does a light jog no actual attempt to get the ball back

He did it so many times it's ridiculous. If Id be on that pitch Id lose my s*** as a midfielder or defender.
Gary Neville had made a similar observation in his a***ysis of our draw vs Liverpool. And some of those highlights were from early in the first half so fatigue isnt a legitimate excuse.

Same mistake of players not closing down quick enough around the final 3rd and being out of position compared to where they need to be. Recurring problem now. Not sure if its that our players simply aren't good enough to execute it or if the coaches aren't good enough to recognise it. Both are bad.

I think it’s both tbh there’s been a repeated pattern of results where we’ve performed like this. The Istanbul game comes to mind this season and there’s many more Crystal Palace, Tottenham, even the Sheffield United away game and the West Brom one.
Going back to our Europa league games during the summer when we got knocked out there was defensive errors, set piece errors etc that still haven’t been sorted. So yeah your right our coaches failure to recognise these mistakes and rectify them is our downfall
Someone on Twitter made a fair point:
I just hope we sign a top level CF to replace him, and the board don’t try and skimp out with Cavani upfront and saying Rashford and Greenwood can cover.
man has the same amount of league goals as harry maguire
maguire is actually a bigger threat, if he worked on getting his headers on target he would score more than martial
!Wish All the best to the the Fab Dab
Should do well for them now that the United pressures off

yeah hes got the ability to be like a Barkley type for sure
Diallo starting for the U23s tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing him but there's a lot resting on Greenwood Cavani and Rashford since I have no faith in Martial or James

we need a new striker but idk who. we need other areas too. wish we can sell martial and get a Haaland....but wishful thinking. Haaland is most guaranteed next superstar not on a big team yet, there is.
We really can't let Partey walk over us. Need a proper counter attack masterclass tomorrow at the Emirates

we're so s*** against the top 6 seems like we get our tactics wrong every time. lets see if Ole can figure something out

Man i'd take a s***house win vs. Arsenal anyday.

!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s6oJWUYB0Uman ive blacked out so many of these games. I remember more moments from before then like 2007-12. compared to the Moyes/LVG era.
honestly wish we had an aging rooney/rvp from that season versus martial/rashford in current state.
I need a CF
I'm holding out for a CF 'till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a CF
I'm holding out for a CF'till the morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
