Manchester United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2017

This "first 11 " have put in some poor performances for a good few weeks now, low on chances created, high possession stats.... getting flashbacks:(

adox

Pogba has been ****ing awful.

Utd got progressively worse. Stop start from the ref, Utd got slower and slower.

So much sloppy passing too. Valencia our most regular outball unfortunately.

Pogba needs a kick up the hole.

Jose seriously needs to throw a few fu*ks into these fellas

Throwing shapes but going no where

Valencia is like an attacking black hole. All the energy in the universe is just sucked out of the place when he gets the ball.

Simply not good enough
Everybody has been poor
Sloppy passing, too slow, predicable and **** all created
Disgrace if we don't win this today
And for the love of god Tony V you drive me up the wall

I thought Carrick has played well and Herrera has been ok.

Carefull on the racial tones there..:)

I dunno, I see a totally dominant performance, when we get to the final third it falls apart.It is tough when Hull are sitting in the way they are but the chances/opportunities have been there again, Pogba should have buried his.

The players seem to be forcing it themselves, obviously feeling the pressure also. A goal will make a huge difference us but the longer it goes on the more edgy this will get, the danger of Hull smashing us on the break increases as time goes on too. I would unleash Martial at half time personally.

We are missing something from the team...a Keane, Robson type character

There's a book already being written about it.

No way we make top 4. We may go on and win this easily but it's really bad football and it has been for a while.

Our fellow competitors can lose at home to Watford and draw away to Sunderland. A win by any means tonight is crucial. If we do we've a very good chance of top 4 imo.

If you have satellite, Talksport has updates on all tonight's games. R5 is doing City...

If the second sentence hadn't explained the first it might look dodgy alright. :pac:

Just need to get that flow going again that was there before Xmas

StringerBell

Anyway, if the recent trend of second half improvements continue I will relax, but **** me the head has been busted in this first half.

I thought after the first three or four minutes Utd were going to destroy them.

Then the free kicks started, then the pace dropped, th n the ball kept falling to Valencia....

Did I mention Pogba as a non entity?

Quandary

Hull have been very organised and solid defensively in the first half but we really should be creating more chances against them. This 2nd half needs to be a massive improvement.

Anything less than 3 points will be extremely poor.

StringerBell

Rooney coming on (insert rolleyes here)

StringerBell

Carrick coming off is dangerous

I really don't get the Valencia rage. He's driving people up walls? Pogba, Ibra and Mkhi must be sending you through the ceiling then.

Not saying Valencia is perfect, just he's been more of a positive in the first half than most of our attack. He lifted the head and floated some balls into the box, while Mkhi drilled one or two across at defenders ankles, but little if anything said in here about a poor first half from Mkhi.

Much more needed from all of our attack in the second half, not just Valencia or Mkhitaryan. Apart from that beautiful flick, Ibra has slowed our attack right down on a few occasions, for example.

A frustrating watch so far, loads of possession but no penetration let alone a chance for end product. Pogba should have buried that one good chance.

adox

Carrick very unlucky. Probably Utds best player in the first half.

I'd have done the unthinkable and hauled Pogba off.

Trigger

Jones has been everywhere!

We're at home to one of the worst teams in the league with a chance to make some ground and they don't look like doing anything.

Pogba is the sort of player who can play badly for 89 minutes, pick the ball up in minute 90, beat 3 players and stick it in the back of the next from 30 yards. United have a number of dangerous players out there - have to hope one does something brilliant on nights when the team isnt playing well as a whole.

Jones

Jones injured..

Poor Phil. He's cursed

Hococop

Bad?

Oh ****in hell Rashford

KH25

This just isn't our night. 2 lovely balls over the top that should have been finished.

StringerBell

Can anybody explain the point in bringing Rooney on?

adox

Jones injured. Who'd have thought it? Surely his times up at the end of the season.

Rashford with a bad miss.

Hope a chance drops to Rooney who will finish you feel.

He averages 1 goal in 2, due a goal now

Hopefully to rescue the game like he did last week.

First time in a while, been very disappointed in Mourinho's choices tonight.

adox

Miki will be off for Mata I'd say.

Ah the old, stink the place up but maybe score a wonder goal hail mary?

Fair enough

StringerBell

Ref is actually ridiculous.

adox

Every challenge is a free it seems.

adox

This is ridiculous. How many is he going to get away with?

Joke.

Quandary

I'd say that good run of form has dried up. We're playing like we did at the start of the season when we were drawing every second match. Too many missed chances as usual.

adox

Ok I'm getting really worried now. This is slipping away. Nothing happening. Game stopped every minute or so.

We had a blip of good form :pac:

Listening to the game on mutv. Very frustrating.

Headshot

we are ****ing awful in front of goals

Hococop

Every keeper does this.... God I hate it so much

adox

Every time Utd try and get some momentum the game is stopped. Infuriating.

J. Marston

The most pathetic attack in the world when you take into account hype and cost.

adox

That's an incredible save.

Dwarf.Shortage

Season defining quarter of an hour now.
