Out of ideas against a Norwich side missing 3 of their preferred back four. Not great.

Watch the number 8 for Norwich and how much times he has on the ball and then tell me how The Scottish Player is doing.

the number 8 is 20 year old Scottish midfielder billy gilmour btw

Been our best player that first half, that must be embarrassing for you after you told everyone to watch him specifically.

Need to get Fred on

He has done ok. Seems like the interview got to him. Just need to get the ball out quicker and start to £#%&!ing press. This Norwich team is shit. But we are making it easy for them

Really shit half. Greenwood for Rashford please.

Shocking the amount of backwards and side passing, some players haven’t got the %@#$&!s to pass forward against Norwich

Absolute shit. Getting this lot to play well was always going to be a lot harder than someone coming in and telling them to press and play a different formation tbf.

We really lack some intelligent, smart footballers to set the example for the rest of them.

Time to bin Rashford and Bruno.

Give them a break at best.

Sell to Madrid at worst.

The Scottish Player is a squad player. He should be Korean. Squad Games.

When Varane is back push Lindelof alongside Fred, VDB instead of Bruno and Greenwood instead of Rashford.

Come on Ralf. Show some Teutonic efficiency ffs.

We're as good as the sum of our parts, as you can't play this 4-2-2-2 system and expect to control games if the 2 central midfielders are The Scottish Player and Fred.

We really need better players in that area of the pitch, but we've all been saying that for years now, so this is nothing new.

We're over-reliant on a moment of magic from the attacking players once again.

Movement form the front players has been non existent tbf, obviously difficult with how compact Norwich are but at least attempt to create space and then there Bruno who’s having an absolute Pogba of a performance.

The only ham Marcus should be linked with is Oldham or Fulham.

ok I’ll break it down to you.

our midfield are NOT doing a good job because every time Norwich get the ball then can pass through it.

he is up against the man that keeps him out the Scotland national team midfield.

and watch rashford

no final ball

I want to see Ralf pull Rashford off at half time.

Marcus Rashford MBE pretty much always makes the wrong decision. Beats his man only to then run down a blind alley. Looks lacking in confidence tbh.

The whole front 4 have. But I feel like we’ve collectively been dog shit as a team rather than 1 or 2 players £#%&!ing us up. We need to get VDB or a person who can pass in for Fred.

Because they can’t pass the CBs end up with a lot of time on the ball. Lowers the intensity and then Norwich can just defend in numbers

Poor halfs from Bruno, Rashers and Ronnie, McTom easily our best player, can really see him nailing one of the MF.

Mason for Rashford pls.

The only ham is one of those two hams?

so rashford is either injured, coming back from injury , playing through injury or having a ‘mare?

is it possible he might just not be very good.

They’ve barely made any chances and it’s majority come from wide areas.

We work the ball so £#%&!ing slow into wide areas up front and look up to see a ruck of yellow shirts, so they just run into them and hope for the best.

It's clueless £#%&!ing crap, i'm so sick to death of it. Watch other teams like City and Liverpool deal with this shit. They'd have Norwich on the rack. Pulling them wide and making them work, getting overloads in wide areas... Everything we do is infront of them.

You also can't build an attack with Marcus Rashford up front because he can't link up with his team mates. He only knows how to run into space. That's it.

If I was Ralph i'd be £#%&!ing tearing strips off them after that.
