Manchester United v Leeds : Official Match Thread : 8/2/23 8pm

Awful performance. They’ve absolutely hustled us out of it.

Brought down to their level - need a bit of composure Erik

It’s like £#%&!ing Jenga.

Take him out and the whole thing falls apart.

1b not even on the bench. hook him for whom? malacia?

just stop garnacho getting beasted by ayling and we're good.

Needs a cool head out there. One goal and we are in the game but they look panicked.

All we had to do was weather the early storm and not give them something to hang on to.

Very enjoyable half tbh.

ffs

Cannot understand moving Rashford. He is our main attacking threat, play him in his best position and move the rest about.

Wan Bissaka not on the bench. So presumably another injury.

Worst we've played in a while, midfield, and forwards have had a shocker.

What a player £#%&!Horse is

Absolute no use for him. Seems to go under the radar because of how well ETH has been doing but he is an abomination of signing. How shots at goal has even had since joining?

Give him a chance doing better than your boy at Juve

still winnable if erik makes the right decisions. swap rashford and garnacho for a start.

"the storm". a couple of dirty cloggers bundling into people. under strength as we are in midfield, it really should be expecting too much to have a couple of player drop deeper so the defence don't have to play silly triangles with each other.

the passing has been so sloppy.

Can’t believe how easily they’ve pressured out defence. There’s nobody in midfield showing for the ball at all.

Really poor performance
That start has made it a really hard night for us

ETH needs to take the blame for making the stupid the decision to move our best attacker to the one attacking position he is shit in and unsurprisingly he’s been completely ineffective

Nothing you can do about the midfield
We don’t have a controlling DM aside from Casemiro and tonight it shows
Someone needs to give Fred a slap and tell him to pass it to a red shirt from now on

Sancho for the raw Garnacho and Rashford back to left side

Would move rashford upfront and bring sancho on.

Missing the control in midfield, but creating plenty. Feel like Rashford is going to destroy Ayling if he gets the chance.

the pressing from this lot!!

There is no better tactic for a big game than booting your manager out.
