Manchester United v Crystal Palace. Official Match Thread. 19/9/20 5:30pm

Not starting Donny cost us the game....

It's that simple ..

One of the strangest decisions I've ever seen.

well, yes. but matic is a very good player and it has been obvious for a long time that we needed defensive midfielders instead of flash dilettante dick weasels. even with matic, we need defensive midfielders, because it is a £#%&!ing joke to expect him to play on his own there.

Had a bit more time to digest this, and we're still £#%&!ing shit.

I agree. But we’ve got 99 problems.

Not brilliantly coached, no. Just wondering if there is something else, though.

Nah, totally different posting style even if there are sometimes similarities in the content. IMO.

Seems to be a pattern forming. Quite some company you keep.

Just do 3. Your first wasn’t very good.

Even you, as cretinous as you are, must have known that was a shit comeback. Why are you bothering? Just flounce again.....

That’s what a shit comeback looks like.

Not sure you understand the meaning of the words flounce or again.

I don't think United are tbh, certainly doesn't look it at times. Same goes for Ole & tactics and dare I say it what he does during a game. Too reactive and more often than not too late.

I think he's doing a very good job in terms of identifying players to come in and go but erm that's it for me atm. Possibly being a bit too harsh.

Yesterday didn't surprise in the slightest given preparations (or lack of) for this season. Looking undercooked doesn't do it justice. Turn up and play like that vs Luton & Brighton this week United can expect the same outcome.

Ole seems more suited to a DoF role than manager imo.

Yep. Whereas media fave Lampard seems more suited to a pundit role rather than a manager.

His signings are a bit hit and miss

Maguire- good signing but overpriced (not on Ole tbf)
AWB- Meh and completely overpaid for him
James- Meh
Bruno- good signing
Iggy- just a body
Donny- fingers crossed he turns out to be a good buy

The front 3 behind Martial seemed to rotate an awful lot. Dont remember that happening much last season but Bruno often found himself out wide.

Greenwood and Rashford also changing from left to right.

Dropping Bruno deep to get VDB in (which did work somewhat) all screams of not having a £#%&!ing clue what we are doing to me.
