morla84 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Should've brought Muto and gave him some game time, we actually brought Yedlin on as an attacking option? Unfortunately Muto wasn't even on the bench. Why do that when you can have two right wing backs on there. Bruce doesn't trust the chinks in our team, they might be Rafa spies.

Optimistic Nut Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 While Dubravka, Schar & Longstaff seem to be getting the brunt of it tonight...Gayle once again non-existent and missing a chance he has to be taking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 So because they were good when you were a kid they are good now? They literally just got beat by Watford New manager bounce. Penalty due to stupid tackle. Horrendous goalkeeping error to start it all off. 1 in 100 result. Man United are back baby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Needs to forget this 5-3-2 bollocks like. It doesn’t work. It's fucking balls There’s no width. When you’re playing to hit a team on the break and defending, you need the width. If Manquillo and Willems are so far back and you haven’t got the wingers it’s easy for Man Utd to press the midfield as that’s the only place the pass from the back can go. Possibly a factor in Schar and Longstaff attempting the balls they had, they literally had no outlet wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I know there was loads of things bad today but bringing Atsu on every game is so pointless. Never offers us anything and if we were a proper club he'd have been moved on ages ago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 The 2nd goal really knocked us. We started well but the mistakes were poor and they were clinical. I'm judging this on the full Xmas period. See how the Everton and Leicester games go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 As soon as we scored the first Bruce should have just backed 11 behind the ball and told the team to hoof or counter. That’s the type of match you realize you’re not going to out gun your opponents with current squad so do the simple stuff right and do what you do effectively. Instead, the boys had a night they’d rather forget. Ho hum, get 3 on Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I went to bed at half-time since it was game over, but I think this one was lost on momentum and carelessness. Their goal came pretty much from nothing, was a keeping error, and swung the momentum in their favour. Another 10 minutes of holding out and we'd have frustrated them. The second could be foreseen about two passes earlier and should have had Brewcie shouting at them to get rid. It was still an obvious gift to them. The third was an easy blow with us already on the ropes. Since we weren't being outplayed and had still created the best two chances when the score was 2-1 to them, I wouldn't accuse our tactics. We just made some bad errors and handed the game to them. Our hand is so limited that getting back into a game in that situation is out of the question.
