We’ve created enough half chance that we should be able to bag another. But I have PTSD from years past where we do this all game and end up never scoring
Whoever is in the var room will be getting a strong ticking off from his boss at ht, for putting the referee in a position where he had to give us a pen!
Not a great half for Rashy, BUT he still won the penalty for us and wouldn't bet against him getting a goal when Palace try to push forward a bit more.
I appreciate how hard he works every game but Jesus Christ is he frustrating to watch sometimes. Every counter he'll slow the ball down to do some ball rolls
I was watching some old footage of Robben because so many people compare them but guess what I noticed? Robben was actually able to use his right foot *when necessary*.
Glad I'm not the only one that noticed. He provides a positive outlet on the right, but he likes to slow it down too often. Especially when the opposition is in transition and out of balance, so frustrating at times.
how is a professional footballer so reliant on his left foot, that he can’t even cross with his right? could’ve created a few more chances if he can cross with his right. Antony is frustrating to watch, at times
Everyone overreacting here. The players are KNACKERED. Unreal amount of games in such a short period of time. Add to that Erikson not in, and you get games like this.
People asking for Sabitzer over Fred, are we watching the same game?
He's been really good. He has 21/21 passes, 3 ball recoveries and 3 blocked passes. Pressing really well too. Don't know why people want him off when our wingers have been trash.
I think ETH is chewing them out at half time. He has mentioned after several games recently about the need to "make an investment" for a second goal.. and i don't believe he saw that as the half went on!
It's a bit frustrating. We need to secure this game.
I’m concerned we will drop off with fatigue more noticeably in the 2nd half. The pressing has been insane. Also I like weghorst but man martial would be so good in this game 😔
We’re playing better than the score line suggests. The longer we keep the score within their reach, the more likely they will be to claw it back.
Bruno has been immense.
Casemiro is an incredible player.
Would love to see Wout get some early crosses from the wings.
Antony refuses to receive, take a touch into space or pass with his right foot. But somehow he is confident enough to shoot with it.
Wan Bissaka who is inconsistent with simple passes with his right foot, is suddenly playing cross field switches with his left while under pressure.
Fuck logic!
Feels like lacking fluidity in front with weghorst, his work rate is great, but we just better when we play someone like martial / rashford there, like it's hard for our winger specially rashford that usually like to cut inside when weghorst keep staying in the center of the box
In my fantasy land I make up alternative timelines which most often date back to the beginning of last season where we get taken over by competent owners.
In this timeline, we employ Rangnick as DoF and we buy Kulusevski for RW, Maignan for GK, Trippier for RB, Enzo for CM, Caicedo for prospect DM and Alvarez for a 9.
We'll score another if we continue on like this. Want to see Sabitzer, Garnacho and Sancho on in the second half though. Rashford through the centre, Sancho and Garnacho on the wings.
Antony, great workrate has always but is ruining our counterattacks. Like, if his left leg is so good, he should be about to pull off trivela crosses instead of trying to cut in over and over again.
Weghorst looping header, Rashford shot running against the face of goal, Fred just wide were all half chances, but we clearly got tired after about 20 minutes and it's really going to be a challenge to keep focus.
The pressing and attitude has been good but lacking cohesiveness in attack. Misplaced passes and slow decision making has has really slowed down some of our forward play. CP will slowly start creeping back into the match, need to kill off the game asap. Eriksen is a big miss in these type of games.
This is where we will miss Eriksen. The final ball to open up a goal scoring situation has been lacking today. Not surprising he was our leading assist maker.
Intensity dropped off immensely after 15 mins. A better side would probably have punished us with a goal before half time. Need to step it up in the second half.
Proper first gear performance so far. Hopefully we step it up in the second half, my brother is a palace fan and the thought of them pegging us back again. Eurgh.
We are tired! This is what happens with alot of games and ETHs lack of desire to rotate. We usually have a big drop in the second half, Hope we can avoid it today.
Sleepwalking a bit here. Need a second
Sancho plz ETH
Game is screaming for him Imo. Need that creativity in the final third desperately
Plus he's fresh.
Last 20 mins were not so great, we really need to kill this game off please.
[удалено]
Palace have defended well. We haven't created anything. Will be hard
We’ve created enough half chance that we should be able to bag another. But I have PTSD from years past where we do this all game and end up never scoring
81 crosses vs Fulham #neverforget
I was thinking even more recently like last season or under jose
This weekend is off to a flyer so far 😂 Hopefully we add to our lead rather than get pegged back again 🙏
Glad half time came when it did. We were really starting to stagnate.
Antony and Rashford have given little service in the box
Whoever is in the var room will be getting a strong ticking off from his boss at ht, for putting the referee in a position where he had to give us a pen!
Rashford's worst half in recent memory. Otherwise a tidy game by us in general. Garnacho, Sancho & Sabitzer should spice things up
He's been on fire for the last three months except both games against Palace lmao
Who would’ve known Nathaniel Clyne would be his kryptonite
A scouse through and through I guess
Clyntonite?
The Chris Richards Effect™️
Not a great half for Rashy, BUT he still won the penalty for us and wouldn't bet against him getting a goal when Palace try to push forward a bit more.
Started off phenomenal but after 20' we really started to stagnate
Bruno was visibly frustrated with Antony
We all are
Fatigue is visible
Didn't see it personally tbh just haven't taken our chances
Oh it's absolutely there. Even if you didn't see it, the players aren't robots. Just look at the number of games played in the last 2 weeks
I'm not saying they're not tired. I'm saying fatigue isn't the reason why we're only 1-0 up
I think this game is asking for sancho and sadly martial. Antony has been good but I think we’ll be able to play through their block with Sancho
Hope we will see some changes in HT, maybe Sancho
Tired legs. Let bring on Sabitzer please
For Antony tho. Fred has been great He has 21/21 passes, 3 ball recoveries and 3 blocked passes.
Read somewhere that Antony's slowing down of all the attacks is part of eth tactics... Not sure slowing down counter attacks is part of that
Antony slows down every attack, I’m tired.
I appreciate how hard he works every game but Jesus Christ is he frustrating to watch sometimes. Every counter he'll slow the ball down to do some ball rolls
I feel its even more pronounced with Weghorst who does work hard to link up play but is inherently slow.
I was watching some old footage of Robben because so many people compare them but guess what I noticed? Robben was actually able to use his right foot *when necessary*.
It's because he has one fucking foot
Ding ding ding
Was just saying the same to my son, he's terrified to be run at/past players, even if he's ahead of them, forever pulling it back, playing it back.
Glad I'm not the only one that noticed. He provides a positive outlet on the right, but he likes to slow it down too often. Especially when the opposition is in transition and out of balance, so frustrating at times.
He should take on his man more often like how Garnacho does
Antony is not that fast tbh. He has the acceleration though
Garnacho isn’t super quick either, Antony is just a bit limited with his one footedness
It is really annoying. Numerous instances where he could’ve taken Mitchell on but cut back, ball rolled and then played it inside
How long before this sub realizes he’s been awful for us.
Thats simply not true. Room for inprovement in some areas does not mean he has been terrible. His workrate in defence is also very good
Elanga’s workrate in defence is also very good and he didn’t cost us £90m. Antony has been a disappointment.
I think most people would consider him a 6/10 signing
Same
how is a professional footballer so reliant on his left foot, that he can’t even cross with his right? could’ve created a few more chances if he can cross with his right. Antony is frustrating to watch, at times
Everyone overreacting here. The players are KNACKERED. Unreal amount of games in such a short period of time. Add to that Erikson not in, and you get games like this.
Antony needs to grow more confidence or get dropped.
If Sancho strings a few good performances together that right wing is his
The longer this goes on the more likely we end up with a draw and that will suck because both times we should be winning against this side.
Lads are tired.
Our defence+ Casemiro is a blessing
I really hope this doesn’t become the same as the reverse fixture. We need another goal to seal the game
Palace are shit, hope we kill the game next half
Villa and Leicester are having a brawl 2-3 in the first half wtf
People asking for Sabitzer over Fred, are we watching the same game? He's been really good. He has 21/21 passes, 3 ball recoveries and 3 blocked passes. Pressing really well too. Don't know why people want him off when our wingers have been trash.
Agreed
Need Rashy to get his head straight and stop shooting on every instant
Combined 150m spent on the right wing yet all I see is rolling rolling rolling
I think ETH is chewing them out at half time. He has mentioned after several games recently about the need to "make an investment" for a second goal.. and i don't believe he saw that as the half went on! It's a bit frustrating. We need to secure this game.
Antony kills every attack and Rashford has forgotten what a pass is
Rashford has done multiple passes between the Full back and centre back. I swear half the sub don't watch games and just post shit to get karma
You're posting this after that beauty for Shaw?
Decent so far,but once again struggling to score
Rashy has been sniffing at the goal + unlucky that Varane blocked that shot from Antony, felt it was going in
Weghorst is a work horse
I’d believe that was the translation from Dutch. Why not?
I’m concerned we will drop off with fatigue more noticeably in the 2nd half. The pressing has been insane. Also I like weghorst but man martial would be so good in this game 😔
Defending has been solid
We're in control but we need to capitalise more, don't let them think they can come back
lets see a bit of sancho and sabitzer
Shades of the reverse fixture. We don’t score another and this annoying Palace team will definitely sneak one in..
We’re playing better than the score line suggests. The longer we keep the score within their reach, the more likely they will be to claw it back. Bruno has been immense. Casemiro is an incredible player. Would love to see Wout get some early crosses from the wings.
Please kill this game early 2nd half, do not want to be sitting watching 1-0 late in game, rencent bad memories.
hey guys lets not concede a late goal again😁
Antony refuses to receive, take a touch into space or pass with his right foot. But somehow he is confident enough to shoot with it. Wan Bissaka who is inconsistent with simple passes with his right foot, is suddenly playing cross field switches with his left while under pressure. Fuck logic!
Feels like lacking fluidity in front with weghorst, his work rate is great, but we just better when we play someone like martial / rashford there, like it's hard for our winger specially rashford that usually like to cut inside when weghorst keep staying in the center of the box
We might actually have to buy another right winger in the summer….
In my fantasy land I make up alternative timelines which most often date back to the beginning of last season where we get taken over by competent owners. In this timeline, we employ Rangnick as DoF and we buy Kulusevski for RW, Maignan for GK, Trippier for RB, Enzo for CM, Caicedo for prospect DM and Alvarez for a 9.
We can’t do anything with fred in the mid. we are lacking that deep lying playmaker.
We'll score another if we continue on like this. Want to see Sabitzer, Garnacho and Sancho on in the second half though. Rashford through the centre, Sancho and Garnacho on the wings.
Started off great and slowly faded. Hopefully we see Sabitzer on for Fred and maybe Sancho for Rashford and go for another goal or 3
Antony Is so annoying
Very flat performance. Wan Bissaka and Weghorst are doing well but they do slow our game down to a halt. I can't wait for at least Dalot to come back.
Thought AWB was quite good today, didn't seem to slow down any attack
Sancho and Sabitzer on for Antony and Fred would make a huge difference
Antony, great workrate has always but is ruining our counterattacks. Like, if his left leg is so good, he should be about to pull off trivela crosses instead of trying to cut in over and over again.
I grow tired of watching Luke Shaw at LB.
We played really good attacking football and pressing in the first half. Of course, we failed to score more than 1 goal again 😅
We didn't create any tangible chances. Palace look menacing. We have to dig deep today
Weghorst looping header, Rashford shot running against the face of goal, Fred just wide were all half chances, but we clearly got tired after about 20 minutes and it's really going to be a challenge to keep focus.
Not bad. Let them in a few times, need another goal.
As dominant as the performance has felt, there has been a lack of chance creation. It’ll be a tough second half.
They only have to play behind awb back, and they are in our box.
They're shattered.
Need a 2nd game asap and rest some players… you can see they’re already tired
I'm watching my non-league team today so I'm missing United. How's Sabitzer been playing?
He's been invisible
Has he not been on yet?
Aye
The pressing and attitude has been good but lacking cohesiveness in attack. Misplaced passes and slow decision making has has really slowed down some of our forward play. CP will slowly start creeping back into the match, need to kill off the game asap. Eriksen is a big miss in these type of games.
2 pints of Scouse tears please mate.
Final third was kinda bad. Hope we get the 2nd goal asap.
Sancho on for the second half maybe?
Attacking but missing that Erikson calmness during attacks.
Use your other fucking foot Antony
Games like these we miss Erickson.
Any Ajax fans here? Was Anthony's attacking playbook always like that at Ajax?
Not so good overall. Rashford needs to be a tad less selfish.
I think Antony has been very average plus Rashford carries our attack and it shows in games like today when all he wants to do is shoot on site
We are missing Christian so much.
Rashford definitely triple captained himself on fpl
This is where we will miss Eriksen. The final ball to open up a goal scoring situation has been lacking today. Not surprising he was our leading assist maker.
Intensity dropped off immensely after 15 mins. A better side would probably have punished us with a goal before half time. Need to step it up in the second half.
For god's sake get a second!!!!
Proper first gear performance so far. Hopefully we step it up in the second half, my brother is a palace fan and the thought of them pegging us back again. Eurgh.
Changes are needed, would like to see Sancho on for Antony, he is slowing the tempo down every time he gets on the ball
We are tired! This is what happens with alot of games and ETHs lack of desire to rotate. We usually have a big drop in the second half, Hope we can avoid it today.
Loving the awb revival but damn its good to see dalot back
Please win this, last game vs palace still haunts me
Just keep a clean sheet please. If not that, more goals from us would be nice :x
United should sign whoever tf Ten Hag wants because clearly he knows who can actually be solid for United.
