He would end up in the same fate as baldy if the club or he himself doesnt know how to take steps to prevent himself from being thrown under the bus by this group of lazy but powerful players

Re: Manchester United's Headliners, Articles and Rumours
 

I hope so too...all of them would hv to be at their best, no laziness, sloppiness n most of all play fast attacking football not so slow the ai mai ai mai type...n make sure they wear men's n not ladies underwear going onto the pitch

Re: Manchester United's Headliners, Articles and Rumours
 

hojlund replaces zirkzee upfront, mazraoui should be fit and martinez reverts back to DC. given chelsea good form, man u unlikely to win, draw at best

FT : Man U 1-1 Chelsea

A fair result I would say.

I'm not sure what Amorim can bring to the club, but looks like RvN is doing a good job.
The play is more direct going forward.
No unnecessary "play from the back" BS.
When the ball is lost, the players will work hard to get it back.
Positive signs.

Chelsea do looks more threatening going forward. The Devils appears quite weak in the middle of the park.
Nonetheless, I feel the players did well against Chelsea. If under botak, likely would have lost the game. :p

I wish Amad would have come on earlier. He was a threat on the right and he holds the ball up well.
De Ligt still looks a bit worrying as a CB. There were a few instances he looks lost. Lucky Chelsea didn't capitalise.

Re: Manchester United's Headliners, Articles and Rumours
 

I had been noticing Zirkzee looks like he got iron shins or what??

He is the only player not wearing proper shin guards, it appears.
Since first match is like this.

Re: Manchester United's Headliners, Articles and Rumours
 

Yes, they did played a little better than under the baldy as the manager is new n he is someone they like...or was it Chelsea was also scared of them fearing new manager bounce n so did not play to their best esp their 2 best strikers Palmer n Jackson....pity Amorim, the incoming manager, don't think he will be able to control these lazy players n so he will suffer the same fate as all the previous managers...let's hope they wake up n play more energetically n skilfully which are the ingredients to win matches

Re: Manchester United's Headliners, Articles and Rumours
 

At this point we need new manager every match…

Re: Manchester United's Headliners, Articles and Rumours
 

a "good" result for man u, not for chelsea :p

here are some addtl thoughts:

- uneventful 1st half, most exciting were madueke and rashford attempts hitting the post, chelsea attack was better as man u struggled to create chances

- man u is vulnerable to high/long balls played in, and chelsea also found their way thru the middle easily, the central square - 2 DCs and 2 MCs are so open that opponents can cut thru at will, need 3 DCs and 3 MCs to make it less porous, maybe amorim new system can improve the team

- looks like casemiro cannot play more than 1 match per week, vs leicester he was all over the pitch, last night he struggled

- hojlund, like zirkzee, was too slow to release the ball to open teammate twice, 2 potential chances gone

- a wtf moment at 55', chelsea attack and cucurella accelerated down the left to overlap neto, rashford saw him run, run abit try to track and then gave up, luckily neto didn't exploit this overload. rashford might not get much game time unless he ups his defensive contribution under amorim

- garnacho was so wasteful, really need to improve his finishing. the attackers in general are capable of creating chances but unable to finish, they must improve finishing as well as composure, garnacho/fernandes skied their shots when clear sight of goal (facepalms)

- martinez was lucky to avoid a red card for his challenge on palmer, he can't be so rash

- next match is UEL, vs PAOK at home, after 3 consecutive draws, RVN will want man u to attack but think PAOK will park the bus, so gonna be a 4th draw :o
