If this result stays, we’ve only won 3 out of our last 15 games

I think we are in trouble lads.

Trouble is, what do we have off the bench? We are so thin on quality. Not to say we dont have any. But we have so little of it and our bench shows it. It is all good and well saying B Fernandez gives the ball away so we passed up on him,, but tell me he isnt an upgrade. Tell me he doesnt create. 3 players in was never going to be enough. I was fuming when the transfer window closed. We just dont have enough quality. Crystal palace is showing every team from 8th down how to play against us. I feel quite demoralised by it all and it is only game 3.

Ole isnt perfect, but he has been done up like a kipper by Ed. He just hasn't been given the tools to improve.

I was absolutely fuming at Pogba, typically nonchalantly losing the ball, absolutely fantastic tackle to win it back.. great work between Rashford/Martial.. tremendous finish from James..

The wolves game, in my opinion we hardly put a foot wrong, and we were unlucky, today was just terrible.. so so poor, Rashford, Martial, Pogba, Lindelof, Maguire, DeGea the ones who we should be counting on were all poor..

Speaking about Barbie doll, I would like to watch Annabelle(the scary movie) tonight. Because it wont get scarier than this

Mobi,

we weren't too clever in the second half against Wolves .

Agreed we needed to sign more quality, but and this is a big but...I dont think Ole is good enough. I say it again we have good individuals, but no team. 3 attempts on target at home. Really poor!

Btw this is the first win to palace at OT since 1991

WeAreUnited August 24, 2019

3 wins in last 16, that's the correct stat.

ffs, that's relegation battle stats.

who do we play up top now that martial is injured? rashford? ok

but who plays from the left? James? lingard? a 17 old Greenwood?

or do we get Llorente for free?

we are liverpool 2.0

it is what it is. through thick and thin I guess

And all those hamstring strain just 3 games into the season? Totally weird

Who would have predicted this? We are not out of August yet, but we blew the League already.

With display's like this, I am afraid to say, Ollie will be gone soon.

Yes Big Dave should have saved that shot, but it is not his fault that our outfiled players are clueless and cannot create anything. We are eve shite at penalties!

A game at home with limited chances and zero creativity. Our game plan were tailor made perfectly for Palace to handle very comfortably.

I always wonder as to why we didn't start the game as direct and penetrating as the last 10? Our plan has always been passing from side to side, waiting for an opening that never comes. Zero crossing when the opportunity was begging them to cross. I said game plan but I question my self whether there was even a plan.

The one or two positive things are:
1. The last two games, we conceded more due to personal error more than a team. This sounds counterintuitive but I think it's easier to deal.
2. Martial with so limited service has been impressive. He really takes his limited chances and turns then into a real opportunity. Something that other players are lacking.

Don't worry . At this rate we should have about 50 points by the end of the season, which is guarantee we are staying in the Premiership.

Not good not good at all.
A few bright moments.
Already getting tired of Ole’s excuses not his fault.
I have to think if this was Moyes or LVG they’d be in trouble.
Going to get worse when the Europa Thursday’s start.
Oh well,

Only positive for me was immediately when James was swopped to the leftsided attack, he looked dangerous.

Zana August 24, 2019

I still cant believe what just happened? Its sickening to my eyes to see a crystal Palace player have a better ball control than a senior united player. Just cant believe it.

Lol Zana are you joking.
Utd are poor. Have been poor for more than 6 years now. You better believe it, lol

Utter shite instead of pressing when we were 1-1 we got sloppy. come on, I know it should have been a foul on Pogba but to let them free run and no challenge, at the end it was Bissaka's blocked, but it came back and the low shot should have been saved by the DDG

why do I care, they don't seem to care. what the fuck is happening to these players? they don't seem fit enough what about those famous double session.

I am tired, missed penalty, what the fuck

do we approach pochettino now or later?

bring back Moyes?

oh selling your second best midfielder (didnt deserve to be sold), selling your "first option" attacker (deserved) and not replacing them is stupid

also as bad as Alexis has been, do we really want to rely on a 17 old kid to hold his nerves as the third option striker?
it's been rumoured that we're in for llorente, surely not? as a backup he is ok, only ok, but surely not the Fellaini of strikers.

now im done. watching arsenal liverpool after our dross will be sad. ffs

see you next Sunday or whenever our game is. !

a piss take

I don't think it can or will get better whilever Ed is in charge of the football side of the business and we dont have a skilled manager befitting of a club like Manchester United.

It is just going to be more of this for the foreseeable.

So furious right now, already ranted a little, but as they say, a cooler head prevails, so I shall wait until tonight to speak..

Red,

I've been very vocal when it comes to Ed Fookward. But Ed isn't responsible to the individual errors nor he is on our inability to answer tactical challenges.

Red_Gambles August 24, 2019

Scholess,

That's why I said about having a manager with the skill that befits a club like Manchester United. And between Ed and Ole, we haven't done anywhere near enough in the window. We are stuck with these 18 players for the next 9 months and it is not acceptable by a long shot.

I have said it already,OGS is not the solution. He fits our DOF more than the manager. There is more to being a manager than what he is doing.i laught oit loud really, that some people believe the defense is the most important position to fix.our setup is 90s. Pep or poch needs to come teach our mamager what modern intelligent football is

When James was bought i said it here he is not thw aolution to the RW.Weve just bought another LW player AGAIN.Our over realiancw on Pogba will hurt us more this season.

In transit. Just saw the headline so came to Rom.
Looks like it was more of the same. A few of us suggested an impending relegation scrap last season unless we made big changes. We didn’t make the changes and it’s early days but it seems things aren’t good at OT. Put them all on performance based contracts with a big win bonus. Fuck em all.

Oh Carlos Vella who plays for LAFC is some player. Way to skillful for us.
