To be fair to dunk/Ole plenty of teams do the fluid front three thing. Personally I’m not sure Mata and James are two players to be doing that with, but could be argued that the Europa is exactly the right sort of environment to be experimenting with things.

That’s my problem with it.

Let’s get the basics right first before we start asking the front players to interchange multiple times in 20 minutes. No surprise that when they stopped it we actually got on the ball and created a chance.

Yeah good one.

Fool.

Gomez

Great to see some attacking full backs

Fred is beyond bad

Has he ever had anything close to a decent game since joining?

He just needs the right players around him.

Don’t think Rashford links up too well with him tbh.

A stalemate in the Big Man's honour

Hard to pick who's the worst out of Fred and Rojo.

I don’t know what we did to deserve Fred and Matic.

£#%&!ing hell.

Matic getting skinned a couple of times was embarrassing.

£#%&!ing terrible as expected these days

Feel sorry for the young players
What a rotten setup to take your first steps into senior football

We don’t have a clue what we are doing on or off the ball
Off the ball some players press but others don’t and it’s not done in any structured way
As for on the ball, £#%&! me we don’t seem to have any method or idea how we are supposed to break the opposition down

James is playing centre forward and greenwood is playing on the wing.

Stop trying to be a smart arse.

Shows ole isn’t really that interested in this competition. He’s using it to try things out.
