Steve McClaren

[Marmoset]

It's Old Trafford, if you get points it's hard to complain. Easy to say after the fact we should have been more expansive but we probably would be a point worse off right now.

[triggs]

The Tiote sub was cowardly as fuck but he set us up far better today. He really, really needs a central midfielder capable of making a mark on the game.

Aye should have probably been Aarons for Ayoze. That sub put us under a lot of pressure.

[Tooj]

It was hardly cowardly ffs.

[Gallowgate Toon]

We needed legs in the middle, tbh.

[Kanj]

Hated the Tiote sub because I think he's rank.

[Hanshithispantz]

It was cowardly as fuck man

 

We effectively sat 3 yards in front of our box until injury time because of it. Keep Wijnaldum in the centre and replace Ayoze with Aarons if he was fucked.

[timeEd32]

Perez had to come off as he was spent. Had no problem with the Tiote sub.

 

In fact, my only issue with him today is I thought all three subs came 5-10 min too late. Obertan because he's Obertan and the other two because they both looked exhausted.

[mrmojorisin75]

Got the point. Looked organised. Zero ambition though. Zero shots on target. Only got Man Utd on the break once. No Aarons at all is disappointing.

Aye, the Aarons thing is really starting to push my buttons. Why throw Thauvin in and not give Aarons a run? Not that Thauvin was terrible or anything but fucking hell.

[Stottie]

Got the point. Looked organised. Zero ambition though. Zero shots on target. Only got Man Utd on the break once. No Aarons at all is disappointing.

 

In fairness, I don't think Spurs or Villa managed a shot for Romero to save either, and the Man U they played looked much worse with Memphis in the middle and Mata uninvolved out wide.

[lovejoy]

The Tiote sub was cowardly as f*** but he set us up far better today. He really, really needs a central midfielder capable of making a mark on the game.

Disappointed to see Obertan, but glad he was subbed off before Ayoze at least.

You really do love the ginger rosy cheeked sod don't you?

 

As I said though, he had the opportunity to replace his attacking winger with another attacking winger with fresh legs but opted to bring on a 3rd central midfielder, and a defensive one at that. This at a time we needed a goal.

I think fitness is still an issue after the shit preseason we had, Man Utd clearly had more legs than us in the last 15 minutes, was quite happy to see him shore up the midfield and protect the point.

I like him, I'll admit that.

 

I also dont think shutting up shop at man utd is deserving of the term 'cowardly as fuck'.

 

Its a cracking point that, there's just no denying it. We looked well organised, which is a hell of a step forward.

i agree it was cowardly in a sense and i'd have gone for aarons but tbf he's trying to build something in his 3rd game in charge and coming away with a point from OT is a good result

 

if we'd conceded then aye, shot with shit, but apparently he's not pardew

[joeyt]

Worried about how much he's going to use Tiote this season, but we/he deserved a point today

[Dokko]

Cowardly as fuck protecting a point at old Trafford. Fucking disgrace man

yep.

[lovejoy]

Cowardly as f*** protecting a point at old Trafford. f***ing disgrace man 

 

exactly.

I'm sure McClaren used him like this at twente, just bringing him on to see out games.

[mrmojorisin75]

nah man, no need for that, throw aarons on and we could win the game

[Mole_Toonfan]

Zero shots on target is massively conflicting tbh, Mitrovic hit the bar and Perez had a shot that just went past the post. Both were more quality chances than anything Man Yoo did before the Hernandez chance and of course Thauvin was a hairline difference away from scoring.

if we'd brought aarons on and we'd conceded he'd have been shot with shit for not closing the game off.

 

cant win.

 

cracking point from a far more organised and resilient side, starts and ends there for me.

Aarons for Krul: a real mans sub.

I wouldn't go as far as saying Man Utd were there for the taking but I don't think there was much need to batten down the hatches (as Bruce would say) for the final 20 or so. We started to push out near the end and the game opened right up.
