Man Utd (H) 31/12: Build-Up & Match Thread

[YoungWolf]

We’ve played some nice stuff at times, clearly wants us to play through the middle more often and thank fuck he understands what Matheus’ strengths are but…

They should have scored two by now. Very lucky in that respect.

Hopefully similar plan around the hour mark, get Adama, RAN on.

 

[Del Woppio]

Plenty of encouragement there, we're having a good go and have had a couple of spells of dominance, and you'll always have to ride your luck a bit in pretty much every game, but especially against top 6 opposition.

Robbie Mustoe has just called Semedo a "pub footballer" for his short backpass.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Costa has carried on his last performance. Fine if you just need a body there to make simple passes and lay the ball off. Useless if you actually want to score.

Yeah he's gone physically.

Robbie Mustoe would certainly be able to spot one, the kind of player who'd have had a cigarette at half time.

So that's where he ended up. Always liked him as a footballer. Kind of player we were desperate for in the 90s

 

[YoungWolf]

Yeah he's gone physically.

Quite sad to watch as he’s trying and when you do get the ball to his feet he does hold it up okay.

 

[sycophantia]

Playing well overall, couple of mistakes giving Utd good chances but so far so good.
How the hell is Semedo on a yellow from a minor innocuous foul, not cynical but Casemiro gets away with a body check, a yellow in itself but also stops us breaking.
Gunna need a goal I think.

 

[White Wolf]

Despite looking incredibly shaky we've not been too bad, looking decent at times going forward and used the width well I agree. Nunes playing well, nice to see him being used right.

 

[sycophantia]

Apart from the hideous back pass, Semedo has been excellent.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Quite sad to watch as he’s trying and when you do get the ball to his feet he does hold it up okay.

It's his movement though. It's like mine.

 

[Aikiwolf]

Good to watch us with a tactical plan and some structure in the. Levels above the shite Lage would have served up, however we should still be behind in this game - Sa has made some really big saves today.

Neves has looked a little off so far today, very sloppy early on. Nunes looks better in a deeper role but isn't having much of an affect yet.

 

[Keef]

Paddy power put this up from the game, if that’s someone on here, admins just lifetime ban them now.

 

[YoungWolf]

It's his movement though. It's like mine.

Yeah he can’t do it at all. Be interesting to see how Raul compares when/if he comes on

 

[Loki]

Yet another poor refereeing performance. Never a yellow for Semedo. Should have been a yellow for the block on Neves. Sa has kept us in the game. Is Raul on the bench? If so, should be on for Costa. We are looking much better and fitter as a team.

 

[Jack Regan]

Adama on for Diego. Interesting decision, probably tells us that Cunha will be leading the line our next game.

 

[Del Woppio]

Half time sub!

Agree with it too, but probably spells the end for Raul

 

[Templeton Peck]

Commentary on Costa is poor. Talking about 'nobody to pick out' now.

It's Lycan.

Possibly. Although he can play as a No.10 too. Hwang through the middle with Pod/Traore/Guedes wide
