3-5-2 even suits yeovil...

Some sound from the crowd, not much from Falcao yet.

It is bizarrely difficult to see the ball.

At the moment on Fox I'm just watching players chase an invisible object.

Is it this bad on TV?

This is gash so far. I just hope Yeovil tire and we can push on. Gateshead and Tranmere started like this as well but were eventually murdered.

Oh god that looked sore

Lord TSC

Nasty clash of heads and the ref just looks on :rolleyes:

double GG

Referee letting the game go until the ball had been cleared? Even though there were 2 men down in the box with a clear head injury

I'm watching a BT stream on the TV, albeit a very high quality one but it is difficult to follow the dark coloured football.

The ref took his time stopping play there for a bad clash of heads.

The Moldy Gowl

Head clashes are the worst, hate the way they just crumple when they fall

adox

Ref ****ed up there.

Gits_bone

Utd are rather poor going forward, first ball is straight to the wings.

westernfrenzy

Ouch. Looked very harsh.

madcabbage

Crikey, that's a sore one for McNair and the other lad.

Hococop

Nasty clash

Headshot

My hatred for Owen as a commentator knows no bounds

He's voice goes through me

Liam O

Owen talking about them going up for another whack shows the ignorant attitude to concussions definitely still exists.

Lord TSC

The **** is with all the hoofing of balls out of play....

The cynicism of Tyler is slightly worse, the other guy with Owen is very boring too.:p

RobbingBandit

Yeovil are going to get something on the hop here

sky88

The passing is horrific from united

No possesion in midfield....yet again
All this formation does is allow the opposition to press high
****ing passing it left and right is wrecking my head

Strumms

I really hate BT commentators and pundits it's like a human muppet show.

Depressing play from United so far, no real pace or drive apart from Rafael and the passing of the usual standard of late. On the plus side I like the way Falcao goes about his business, he has actually been one of our best defenders in the last couple of games.

Lord TSC

Rooney not doing great....

besty

This is toxic stuff.

doesnt matter who ye play, its 11 v 11, game of their lives for yeovil, hard for united at the min

A little bit complacent from Utd so far?

TheMilkyPirate

United need to wake up here before they concede a stupid goal.

That's being kind. They've been crap.

That's because Yeovil are pressing like Barcelona did under Guardiola - with players chasing after people like a herd of sheep. It's the worst kind of football on the eye to see. But they'll tire themselves out, should get more chances in the last 20 or so minutes.

Mars Bar

That's much better direct play. Pity Wilson didn't get more behind that shot

westernfrenzy

Yeovil have nothing to lose from this match. I can see why they're going all out.

The Moldy Gowl

Utd are being far too complacent with their passing, too many fancy little training ground passing moves not coming off.

Hank Scorpio

Good chance for Wilson, poor finish. Fletcher needs to pass forward more

Maximus Alexander

United are channelling the performance against MK Dons.

Gits_bone

Seems like LVGs philosophy is to hold the ball so the opposition don't score and then hope one of the big players produces a bit of quality.

Think that's utds game plan. Leave them tire themselves out.

What??? Yes, keep the ball, score goals.

Kinda helps if you want to score goals and win games, you need the ball

At half time.

sky88

Giving falcao and wilson nothing to work with

Good from wilson

RobbingBandit

This isn't a training session lads, play the ball or lose.

Strumms

Dreadful. In the middle of the park there.

TheDoc

Fletcher is so so poor. Just really hasn't come back at all from his layoff

The best teams dominate posession and do something with it, Utd look like they are hoping for a touch of brilliance from a player or slice of luck, not wearing down the opposition and creating numerous chances and knowing that one will go in eventually.

Yeovil keeper hasn't made a save yet.

Rooney's the utter cack

Lord TSC

Rooney has been beyond useless today.

Lord TSC

Haha, McNair you clown...
