Frustrating half of football. We're well on top and the Mancs have offered absolutely nothing but the quality in the final third has been desperately poor. So much possession and territory but we've barely created anything of note.

The Mancs have the look of team who will crumble if we get the first goal but I've no idea where that goal is going to come from.

Endo and Gravenberch off for Elliot and Gakpo/or Jones for the second half.

So wasteful

Szobo had an interesting half to say the least

Can't keep allowing ourself to play at the level of our opponents, worst passing I've seen this year, woeful.

These are so bad

lgvkarlos · « **Reply #6 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:18:48 pm »

Salah, Trent and the crowd need to wake up.

Schmidt · « **Reply #7 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:18:52 pm »

Please stop shooting from range.

Libertine · « **Reply #8 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:03 pm »

Dominating a dreadful team, as expected.

But the lack of quality in the final third is alarming. So many players off form right now.

ScouserAtHeart · « **Reply #9 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:04 pm »

We really need to be winning this given the other results this weekend

DelTrotter · « **Reply #10 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:10 pm »

Pretty crap so far, in control but then they have no intention of leaving their half so that's not hard. People moan about Darwin's misses but it's much more worrying when he's getting no chances at all.

Get this won.

Chakan · « **Reply #11 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:10 pm »

Disjointed, off the pace, and just lacking in anything resembling an attacking threat up front.

I mean United are playing for the draw and we look like we're helping them with our front 3 just not doing anything together.

Fruity · « **Reply #12 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:12 pm »

had all the ball but not done much with it. Similar to the last few games.

Flat as fuck

Simplexity · « **Reply #14 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:15 pm »

Why is Gravenberch playing in this game? This is surely a game for someone with something about them?

Get Jones or Elliot on for heavens sake.

Caston · « **Reply #15 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:17 pm »

Atmosphere is really flat

Poor game all round by both teams.

This front 3 just hasn’t worked for ages, maybe freshen it up a bit

rushyman · « **Reply #16 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:19 pm »

That endo booking 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Is he for real

naYoRHa2b · « **Reply #17 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:20 pm »

What a boring game of football.

Darwin can't even stay onside with united on their 18 yard line

The_Nomad · « **Reply #18 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:21 pm »

Are we playing the occasion instead of the shit team in front of us?

Cesar · « **Reply #19 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:23 pm »

Dom has been sloppy, Darwin needs to learn to time his runs. So, so frustrating from him. Harvey and Cody on imo

killer-heels · « **Reply #20 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:28 pm »

They have given us plenty of encouragement but we havent wanted to take it.

Nunez is ridiculous at times getting caught offside.

Hestoic · « **Reply #21 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:34 pm »

Embarrassing that we haven't scored. United are doing well to be fair though breaking up the rhythm by giving us loads of throw ins.

Neville on comms is

He keeps going on about the atmosphere like it's a hot take.

Samie · « **Reply #22 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:35 pm »

We started well but didn;t take our chances and the mancs have been shit.

HOW THE FUCK HAVEN'T WE SCORED AGAINST THAT SHITE?

SerbianScouser · « **Reply #23 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:42 pm »

Gomez and Elliott will give us the balance we need.

Just hope it's sooner rather than later.

AndyMuller · « **Reply #24 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:43 pm »

Szobo and Salah absolutely dreadful.

bird_lfc · « **Reply #25 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:45 pm »

Not great. Look like a team of strangers. This lot are beyond garbage though - should still win

Ref’s been shite, commentary is insufferable, nothing new

Cruiser · « **Reply #26 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:46 pm »

It's all set up for us to score a flurry at the new end

mentalgellar · « **Reply #27 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:46 pm »

That was so poor.

They really are one of the worst teams in the league and we seem too nervous and are trying to force everything. Just need to play our natural game.

Waiting for someone to whack one in from 30 yards basically.

Attack is completely blunt. Diaz looking lively.

Theyve been better than szobo so far

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #30 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:48 pm »

We need Gakpo on, he at least can connect with others in the final third. We're are painfully predictable there at the moment. We need a big half.

thaddeus · « **Reply #32 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:55 pm »

The lack of precision and urgency when we have stretched them has cost us a few chances. A bit too much slow, slow, slow and not a lot of fast. At least we're not behind

Qston · « **Reply #33 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:57 pm »

Won't be long before Elliott is on. Need his energy to liven things up

Agent99 · « **Reply #34 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:19:58 pm »

There is just no connection between the front three at all. What are they doing in training?

What else are we supposed to do, any pass that the front 3 try to make goes out for a goal kick.

Nick110581 · « **Reply #36 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:20:01 pm »

They have showed zero ambition.

We have been really poor though.

He has looked ok. The right side has been a mess.

Wool · « **Reply #38 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:20:04 pm »

Shite game. Shite crowd. It was always going to be a slog because they’ve got no choice but to play more compactly factoring in their injuries etc.

HeartAndSoul · « **Reply #39 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:20:06 pm »

Absolutely abysmal by the players and the crowd have been awful. Tbf the players have gave them nothing to shout about. We’ve played like this in 95% of games this season but got the results. Performances have been awful and it’s not any different today.
