PBP: EPL - Manchester United FC vs Leicester City FC - Aug 10, 2018 [R]

Probably needs to clear his throat

 

FFS Lindelof toughen up.

 

Is there any kind of review of calls this year? Same as last year?

Also, Leicester is having free rein up the left side, need to do something there.

 

Darmian gonna Darmian, very easily beaten.

 

Darmian got beat by Gray and just turned and ran away. Hahaha.

Good Lord he is awful.

 

Rashford is current unable to play as a CF in this system. His hold up play is awful and he doesn't win enough contested balls. He just doesn't provide the outlet needed.

 

Why on Earth are we already surrendering the initiative after such a positive start? Way too early and asking for trouble...

 

God we are awful to watch. We refuse to press. Our fullbacks have no interest in possession and neither does Alexis.

 

Why did we just kick the ball back to their goalie when they didn't have possession when the ref stopped play?

 

We started positive until we settled in to Jose's game plan. Sit back, bore teams to death, try and counter with only the front 3.

 

AP looking very composed.

 

The players need to stop looking to the ref for fouls and just get on with the play. Also, is there any semblance of an attacking strategy? Everyone looks clueless when United have the ball.

 

AP is very good. the full backs are very bad - but that's cool, I guess... it was part of Woody's vision to not get Sandro.

 

I would pay another club to take Darmian.

 

Really wished we were more aggressive and look to pick up the pace a bit.

 

It only takes 25 minutes to realize the pace of the PL just destroys something like the WC.

 

We're going to concede soon. Our defense isn't good enough to lean on like this all game.

 

Shaw napping a bit there.

 

Which is exactly what Leicester are doing. We shouldn't be surprised if they get the equalizer before the half. Not surprised at all...

 

Valencia and Young are, by far, our best options at FB. Tout va bien, n'est-ce pas ?

 

FFS Mata that's an easy pass. The only thing you can't do is leave it short.

 

I think he's been harshly treated in the calls though.

 

That's why I really hope Dalot can be a surprise and somehow show us something as soon as this season once he gets fit.
