Why is Luke Shaw at centre back again?

1-3 City. No i'm still confident on a win, a Rashford goal and our intensity upsetting their rythm.

Because Maguire is a fucking donkey.

I'm surprised Antony isn't playing. I thought his defensive ability would be deployed to stop Cancelo.

[Gabzy]

Believe! (Until they score..)

[Loik V credern]

Is Cancelo much of a threat going forward any more? 

 

That was so reckless by Martial, 3 seconds in lets leap over a player and fall awkwardly. 

[Loik V credern]

I wonder if Weghorst will when in an offside position make the effort to walk by onside so we can attack.

[feltmonkey]

Ooooh unlucky Bruno!

[Loik V credern]

I think I might be behind

[spork]

Fred 😍

City aren't gaining any fluency are they, Bernardo spinning around in his own half looking for passing options is a weird sight. A grind to get out to De Bruyne wide where he limps out a pass to no one, then the crowd roars as United quickly play up the pitch. Just seems like our play in the final third is rushed. 

[Loik V credern]

Yes Casemiro and Fred double team every Haaland shot. 

[feltmonkey]

Martial looks like a guy playing with an injury. He's reluctant to do any unnecessary running, and I don't think he's capable of running at a full sprint.

[Dark Soldier]

We had that break earlier when Martial had the ball and he just looked so casual and slow. I'd like to see Garnacho get a run up there, Elanga is gash.

[Loik V credern]

The passing out from the back has been so calm, clean, accurate, then it goes to shit in their half. We're losing shape and they're getting joy in that eventually they'll score kind of way. I thought United would press more than this, if the half goes without any good chances created then we might as well ask if the intent was to just not lose heavily. 

[Loik V credern]

Garnacho's tenacity needed definitely, I'll be disappointed if Martial lasts until 70 minutes. Rashford was calm there and did everything right. I guess he could have shot on his left first time.

Goddam heavy touch Rashford arrghhh

I think he decided to go himself too late. As he received the ball he was thinking about passing it, but the passing opportunity never appeared.

 

We've got to take one of these chances though.

 

Oh fuck Rashford down.

[feltmonkey]

We've been the better team, but I think we need to make changes. There's not much point trying to play with two injured players up front.  I can see why Martial was picked half-fit, as his job was to release Rashford. However if Rashford can't run either, there's no point having either of them on.

[Loik V credern]

As someone who with about 36 other people in the world has captained Rashford over Haaland in fantasy football this week I am fairly keen to keep him on...ngl

They're being given too much space. All the out balls are to no one. If a team is being sloppy why let them build up a rhythm. It just becomes inevitable. Disappointed in this performance, if lesser teams like Southampton don't turn up to just not lose heavily it just cements the difference in class if you don't play. 

[Gabzy]

Such a weird decision to insist on keeping a visibly injured Rashford on when Garnacho is on the bench. I mean he literally can’t sprint, so it’s not like he’s helping defensively.

[Loik V credern]

Urgency now but it's too late. Ended the half happier with clear chances, needed to start the second half on the front foot. As soon as they get a goal it completely settles them. 

[Gabzy]

Garnacho on! For… Eriksen. 😶

[Gabzy]

Fuck off ref, and VAR. What’s the point?

[feltmonkey]

That should be a goal 

[Gabzy]

AHAHAHAH and again… if they rule this out, fuck off.

[Gabzy]

BRUNOOOOOO FUCK YOUUUUU BLUE CUNTSSSSS!!!!

 

wan Bissaka did tremendously for that goal as well.

[JPL]

Yes!
