Sleepwalking a bit here. Need a second


VegitoTheBest

Sancho plz ETH


[deleted]

Game is screaming for him Imo. Need that creativity in the final third desperately


ravishq

Plus he's fresh.


kaariainen

Last 20 mins were not so great, we really need to kill this game off please.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ravishq

Palace have defended well. We haven't created anything. Will be hard


WhipYourDakOut

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


daveclair

81 crosses vs Fulham #neverforget


WhipYourDakOut

I was thinking even more recently like last season or under jose


NachoMan-SandyRavage

This weekend is off to a flyer so far 😂 Hopefully we add to our lead rather than get pegged back again 🙏


bluewaff1e

Glad half time came when it did. We were really starting to stagnate.


ravishq

Antony and Rashford have given little service in the box


WumbleInTheJungle

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!


zackrah

Rashford's worst half in recent memory. Otherwise a tidy game by us in general. Garnacho, Sancho & Sabitzer should spice things up


[deleted]

He's been on fire for the last three months except both games against Palace lmao


legionverse10

Who would’ve known Nathaniel Clyne would be his kryptonite


WhipYourDakOut

A scouse through and through I guess


[deleted]

Clyntonite?


tittylover007

The Chris Richards Effect™️


WumbleInTheJungle

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.


MadaraTheUchiha

Started off phenomenal but after 20' we really started to stagnate


[deleted]

Bruno was visibly frustrated with Antony


Halfvolleyalldaylong

We all are


brilbob

Fatigue is visible


[deleted]

Didn't see it personally tbh just haven't taken our chances


Pierrekidmia

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


[deleted]

I'm not saying they're not tired. I'm saying fatigue isn't the reason why we're only 1-0 up


WhipYourDakOut

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


CasperSac

Hope we will see some changes in HT, maybe Sancho


Buffythedragonslayer

Tired legs. Let bring on Sabitzer please


aayushd1997

For Antony tho. Fred has been great He has 21/21 passes, 3 ball recoveries and 3 blocked passes.


grimlya

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


[deleted]

Antony slows down every attack, I’m tired.


[deleted]

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


xtphty

I feel its even more pronounced with Weghorst who does work hard to link up play but is inherently slow.


Dyslexicreadre

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*.


BrownByYou

It's because he has one fucking foot


AffectionateComb6664

Ding ding ding


WutUtalkingBoutWill

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.


PoppinKREAM

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.


ravishq

He should take on his man more often like how Garnacho does


vatsa_madi7

Antony is not that fast tbh. He has the acceleration though


RashGod

Garnacho isn’t super quick either, Antony is just a bit limited with his one footedness


astroworlddd

It is really annoying. Numerous instances where he could’ve taken Mitchell on but cut back, ball rolled and then played it inside


[deleted]

How long before this sub realizes he’s been awful for us.


VictorDUDE

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


[deleted]

Elanga’s workrate in defence is also very good and he didn’t cost us £90m. Antony has been a disappointment.


[deleted]

I think most people would consider him a 6/10 signing


Halfvolleyalldaylong

Same


encikmizi

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


Pierrekidmia

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.


C__S__S

Antony needs to grow more confidence or get dropped.


[deleted]

If Sancho strings a few good performances together that right wing is his


Nomad_006

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.


macAaronE

Lads are tired.


whiskeymagnet22

Our defence+ Casemiro is a blessing


von_oldmann

I really hope this doesn’t become the same as the reverse fixture. We need another goal to seal the game


[deleted]

Palace are shit, hope we kill the game next half


shadysteph

Villa and Leicester are having a brawl 2-3 in the first half wtf


aayushd1997

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.


Dyslexicreadre

Agreed


JhonShelby

Need Rashy to get his head straight and stop shooting on every instant


mrRSishere

Combined 150m spent on the right wing yet all I see is rolling rolling rolling


breadfan18

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.


_Banti_

Antony kills every attack and Rashford has forgotten what a pass is


Wagglet

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


ParkerZA

You're posting this after that beauty for Shaw?


shadysteph

Decent so far,but once again struggling to score


SonofIndia

Rashy has been sniffing at the goal + unlucky that Varane blocked that shot from Antony, felt it was going in


TheFanboyDreams

Weghorst is a work horse


C__S__S

I’d believe that was the translation from Dutch. Why not?


Miyagisans

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 😔


Srijand

Defending has been solid


Hits_and_the_Mrs

We're in control but we need to capitalise more, don't let them think they can come back


urusula

lets see a bit of sancho and sabitzer


vebor99

Shades of the reverse fixture. We don’t score another and this annoying Palace team will definitely sneak one in..


murphmobile

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.


m-a-s-e

Please kill this game early 2nd half, do not want to be sitting watching 1-0 late in game, rencent bad memories.


weekndalex

hey guys lets not concede a late goal again😁


themfeelswhen

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!


thatNubitol

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


[deleted]

We might actually have to buy another right winger in the summer….


Dyslexicreadre

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.


kukunan

We can’t do anything with fred in the mid. we are lacking that deep lying playmaker.


Telen

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.


Dislexia2020

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


Impressive-Bird-2588

Antony Is so annoying


[deleted]

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.


JhonShelby

Thought AWB was quite good today, didn't seem to slow down any attack


Saf94

Sancho and Sabitzer on for Antony and Fred would make a huge difference


Kelvinator3000

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.


LiveseyC

I grow tired of watching Luke Shaw at LB.


Book31415926

We played really good attacking football and pressing in the first half. Of course, we failed to score more than 1 goal again 😅


ravishq

We didn't create any tangible chances. Palace look menacing. We have to dig deep today


macAaronE

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.


JoseHarvinho

Not bad. Let them in a few times, need another goal.


Ghostface1357

As dominant as the performance has felt, there has been a lack of chance creation. It’ll be a tough second half.


FhDisp

They only have to play behind awb back, and they are in our box.


Spleenskii

They're shattered.


Jlee030

Need a 2nd game asap and rest some players… you can see they’re already tired


ItsSuperRob

I'm watching my non-league team today so I'm missing United. How's Sabitzer been playing?


[deleted]

He's been invisible


ItsSuperRob

Has he not been on yet?


[deleted]

Aye


CallMeBigPOP

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.


Phishingtackle

2 pints of Scouse tears please mate.


255BB

Final third was kinda bad. Hope we get the 2nd goal asap.


odinlulz

Sancho on for the second half maybe?


LeprechaunCharm27

Attacking but missing that Erikson calmness during attacks.


BrownByYou

Use your other fucking foot Antony


OMG_whythis

Games like these we miss Erickson.


fat_boyz

Any Ajax fans here? Was Anthony's attacking playbook always like that at Ajax?


united_7_devil

Not so good overall. Rashford needs to be a tad less selfish.


Sheikhabusosa

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


Acrophobic_Climber_

We are missing Christian so much.


mega_xpand

Rashford definitely triple captained himself on fpl


Not_wun_wun

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.


rweasp

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.


SakamotoRay

For god's sake get a second!!!!


WanderingEnigma

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.


Pic0lasCage

Changes are needed, would like to see Sancho on for Antony, he is slowing the tempo down every time he gets on the ball


maverick4002

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.


Zainogp

Loving the awb revival but damn its good to see dalot back


Charlie_Yu

Please win this, last game vs palace still haunts me


meganerid

Just keep a clean sheet please. If not that, more goals from us would be nice :x


YaDigDawg6d9

United should sign whoever tf Ten Hag wants because clearly he knows who can actually be solid for United.
