That's not as bad as I feared. He's been pretty solid this year and with the amount of games we play we need to avoid a many injuries as we can.
Really poor showing but I'll take the point with only creating one chance the entire game. Kick save my DDG was clutch. I think with missing 2 of our top 3 midfielders impacted the plan. Also we have to find better LB options. Darmian is okay. Blind can't handle the speed of real wingers and Shaw is a question mark. Big game midweek. Hopefully come out more attacking.
Darmian, Young, Blind all athletic liabilities on the sides and I just feel like it's problematic against Liverpool, City, Spurs
Far too static in possession. Some measure of success when they go long to Lukaku in that right corner, but the middle has been really tough sledding due to the lack of combo play.
Is there an expected date for Pogba to be back instead of running half naked in some backyard in Miami?
Jose said he thinks Zlatan will be back and playing before the end of the year. Still doesn't know when Pogba will be back.
Bailly still injured but expected back next week. Phil Jones is fit for tomorrow tho. Would like to see Lindelof get his first PL start. Thought he played pretty well against Benfica on Wednesday. Shaw's lack of playing time is getting concerning imo. Starting to look like its a matter of when, not if, he leaves United in the near future.
Real poor start to the game. Doing an awful job of holding onto the ball in the midfield. Easily allowing Huddersfield to rough up the game. Team has def lost its edge over the last week or so. Martial may not make it to half time at this point.
Just fucking dreadful. Missed pass. Pour touch by Mata. Lindelof should have stepped up and won the free ball.
Apparently our only plan for scoring goals is pounding balls straight down the middle of the field or trying to dribble through 5 people.
Just a complete dreadful performance across the board. Horrific defending. Zero ides on how to score goals. No width. Meaningless possession. Constant giveaways. A midfield pair that has played 1 meaningful forward pass.
Lingard is not a creative player and I'm amazed that he hasn't been pushed out to the wing yet with Mkhitaryan on the pitch.
What a play from Lukaku. He's the only United player that has looked up for it today despite the lack of quality service. Credit to him.
