The first thing that stood out there was a certain United players 'little flicks' that rarely if ever come off and just dribble back to an opposition player - and it's always someone else's fault.
Ralf wanting fewer touches in midfield, fewer sideways and backwards passes. Well Ralf's going to need new midfielders for that. Both Fred and The Scottish Player (or Matic ) won't bring about that change. All three at times look petrified to play a forward pass, or can't. |

So many chances to get in behind that we ignore, and yet we love an aimless punt over the top when it’s NOT on. |

We’ve skated by with an absolute abomination of a midfield for 5 years, it couldn’t go on forever. The lack of quality has come home to roost with interest this season.
The truly mind bogglingly infuriating thing is that absolutely every one of us has known the midfield is a massive issue the entire time, and the club have done £#%&! all about it. |

How many at the club have got managers sacked now? Only a handful are worth keeping and building the squad around. Most are not getting any better with any sort of coaching. Lets be honest given players out of contract next Summer if United had any ambition a few midfielders could be acquired next month for reasonable fees and we'd see an improvement. Marseille's young midfielder, Adams (Leipzig), what's Brozovic up to or the AC Milan lad? Moreover perhaps use Ralf's contacts and knowledge around Europe. Mwepu at Brighton for example looks mustard, how much did he cost (Brighton) from Red Bull Salzburg? Just hope something happens and players are moved on and new faces brought in. The 1 or 2 line next Summer just won't cut it, years of neglect means a lot of work is needed and quickly. |

Others are just lazy and careless (Sancho second half. rashford on that two man breakaway first half) and these are the basics we shouldn’t be £#%&!ing up so frequently. |

the passing was shit from everyone, incidentally. dalot put a couple of good crosses in. lindelof would have spotted ronaldo's runs. ronaldo isn't as quick as rashford, though. |

The lack of ability to play the ball forward quickly and accurately from defence and midfield is shocking. |

Lindelof has, of course, been out of action since the Newcastle game because he has tested positive for COVID, not because of any 'adverse reaction to the vaccine', as confirmed by both the club and player himself. Quote:

United’s passing has been shit for longer than I can remember. Even during fergie’s latter years, it was often below par. |
