    Utd performance out of 10 please.

    2/10 would not bang.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,788 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Really unhappy with that. Defenders can't clear the ball properly. Vera and Smalling are useless on the wings. Midfielders are just booting the ball up the field, hoping Herndez can chase it down. Useless first half. Norwich unlucky not to b ahead :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,601 ✭✭✭✭Liam O


    Evra used to be a good defender didn't he? :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,181 ✭✭✭Crimson King


    I mean this specific team that is playing today. Generally, we'd look a lot better without the injuries.

    I knows you did, this team today is very weak and no shape to them at all. Injuries have taken their toll alright


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,639 ✭✭✭deafroadrunner


    Jesus wept. What a bad half. Think this game adnan to shake it up.

    He wasn't always but he is now.

    Glazers Out!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,894 ✭✭✭Nolars


    What a poor first half, midfield have no composure whatsoever.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,631 ✭✭✭✭Hank Scorpio


    Young and Vidic have been uniteds best players


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25,953 ✭✭✭✭kryogen


    Right, in at half time level by the skin of our balls

    Now David, you can see this system/approach is not working very well today. CHANGE THE ****ING THING!

    Which is what makes how insanely bad he is now so annoying, he simply does not give a ****


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,332 ✭✭✭fatherted1969


    Cleverly anonymous, Evra absolutely dire. Lucky to be 0 - 0


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,517 ✭✭✭Your Airbag


    On the plus side that half was so bad Moyes surely can't leave it the same for the second half and we haven't let in a goal yet.

    Somehow this is still winnable for us.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 856 ✭✭✭rebeve


    Giggs, kagawa and cleverley are beyond crap .

    De Gea has made a couple of stops, Id have him on the list of better players

    Vidic has looked shaky, Young is not as bad as people might make out

    Giggs is anonymous, as is Clev and for the most part Carrick, Kagawa isn't getting the ball enough cause we cant retain possession and Chicha is getting no service whatsoever. He cant be allowed to be so isolated, its pointless.

    Evra is shocking, Smalling is not a right back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,006 ✭✭✭beno619


    Cleverly is awful

    Be careful some boardsies will flame you for pointing out the obvious.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,366 ✭✭✭✭Kylo Ren


    We are depressingly shit


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,973 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    Young is the only player who looks like he gives a ****.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,209 ✭✭✭Cypher_sounds


    Norwich all over us, they are like bees at a honeycomb inside our box for corners....only a matter of time before they get the breakthrough at this rate.

    Adnan & Welbeck for Giggs & Young please . . He will probably take off Kagawa or Chica though. I actually thought we kept the ball ok for the first 15 and we were doing alright, as soon as the 15 minute mark came its like we just fell apart It really doesn't take a tactical genius to see Chicarito is just too isolated to be effective.

    Palace are still holding City too,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,026 ✭✭✭✭adox


    Awful half from Utd. Evra really really awful. A common occurrence now. Not alone though.

    Kagawa hugely disappointing. Carsick continuing his early season form of been poor too. Defense all over the place. Cleverely poor. I could go on and on.

    No faith in Moyes whatsoever. Verging on shambolic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,369 ✭✭✭UnitedIrishman


    I know it was a bad half for us, but a bit of an overreaction in here?

    Players are suddenly completely **** based on one half of football?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Everything is set then for a win with a goal from Januzaj or Welbeck.

    I agree. Gave him plenty of stick but only attacking option playing half decent


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,209 ✭✭✭Cypher_sounds


    Evra is strolling around like an oap out there, get him off!!!

    You must of missed the season so far


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,575 ✭✭✭✭A Dub in Glasgo


    I forgot how much Irwin sounds like Roy Keane when doing punditry

    Terrible stuff from Man Utd


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,751 ✭✭✭newballsplease


    Re: Evra,

    He only looks bothered when going forward.
    Makes zero attempt to track back sometimes if a player goes past him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,517 ✭✭✭Your Airbag


    Watching all of those halftime replays of the Norwich chances and almost all of them involve Cleverly rushing onto a player and getting skint and Norwich running at our back four because of it.

    Its like what he did for that Sandro goal except Norwich haven't got the end result yet. Try tell that to some people though and you will be hit with all of Clevs wonderful passing stats. Nevermind how bad defensively and creatively he is.

    Both him and Evra are really stinking up the place today.

    United will win this by at least a couple. They'll score on the break and Norwich will crumble.

    That's not what I meant. What I was saying is when we're winning, players are seemingly good enough but when we're struggling in one half of football people are going off the head.

    We're missing a lot of players today too. We're 0-0 away with almost a second XI on the pitch bar one or two.

    Just thought the 'we're ****' sentiments were a tad strong.

    You are so full of shít. I discussed the defensive positioning for that goal with you for days on end. You forgotten that?

    Good sub from Moyes.

    Are you watcing the same match? Nobody there to create chances. Hoepfully Welbeck helps with that, but we are missing the likes of Rooney and RVP massively. Even Rafael is missed with his overlapping runs.

    Yay Welbeck on.

    Well thank fcuk, 2-0 united now give Hernandez the service he will score

    Tis the nature of match threads. All the frustrations come out. In a poor season there's lots of frustration built up so there's a lot to be expressed. I agree with you though, no point getting too depressed about this particular half.

    11 men for this half is a good start


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,460 ✭✭✭✭The_Kew_Tour


    Young at least at races


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,762 ✭✭✭bmcc10


    A bit of directness goes a long way Ashley

  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,788 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Not sure what it says that Ashley Young is on track for our man of the match...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,205 ✭✭✭Lucas Hood


    This is way better . How long is Rafael out for ? Smalling ain't a Rb.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25,953 ✭✭✭✭kryogen


    Do my eyes deceive me or is Welbeck on.....................................? For Giggs is it? Nice!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,624 ✭✭✭double GG


    Our defence makes Holohan look like Iniesta
