I think the main issue is central defence.

Once Bailly is fit we would have a better midfield infront.

No.

Having bailly back we will be less likely to concede, it doesn’t make our midfield any better.

I think the issue is that Matic looks absolutely knackered.

It might make them more confident anf comfortable knowing they wouldn't concede easy goals. It will also let the midfielders play with more freedom.

That is also true matic does look tired abd we really need new midfielders in the summer.

Issue has been cm for months .
There can't be a team in the top 10 that let's the opposition get at there cbs as much as we do .
Our attack is just the from 3 players .

Issue is the way we are asked to play and players like Young starting ahead of Shaw is another major issue and sums up the mindset.

Midfield drops too deep, is too slow to support the attack. CB's are uncomfortable on the ball. Attackers aren't on the same wave length, turn up 1 week vanish the next.

There are zero relationships forming on the pitch, (can anybody tell me about a positive partnership forming? ), every game is like a bunch of strangers rocking up. There is no pattern to the play, almost like there is no offensive plan, just purely working on defensive aspects of the game I assume (and not looking too hot at that whenever a team attacks us) .

We have the players, the manager is just not using them properly, I also don't think he is preparing them properly. We look unfit, reluctant to work off the ball, slow to react to second balls and unaware of where to be when we get into a dangerous position.

Frankly it's a shambles almost every game. You could have Roy Hodgson managing us and we would be getting the same results and performances. Tools are being used incorrectly. I appreciate we are 2nd in the league blah, blah, blah, but we haven't even left 3rd gear this season and as for enjoying the spectacle, are we even meant to enjoy watching Utd anymore it feels like it has been banned?

We have only conceded 3 goals this year.

It's about scoring goals for me and I assume most Man Utd supporters.

Does your wife beat you, Beast? If i were this unhappy i would have stopped watching United. Try it for a bit buddy.

WRD, Matic looks knackered because he played pretty much every game. Let’s give Carrick a game or 2 and give Maric a well earned rest.

In answer to Singh I think there is an element of a shaky central defence affecting midfield a little. If the midfield have to look over their shoulders and lack even a little confidence in the centre of defence it will affect their play, just like a defence with a shaky keeper, anyone who has played those positions will know that. Improve our central defence and midfield will improve as they start to face in the right direction, forwards. SAF built teams on a solid central defence, which we lack. The spine of the team isn’t strong enough yet, including midfield but midfield would be better with an improved central defence.

It will be no surprise that I disagree with Beast on most of his rather negative points, except about Shaw who should, unless carrying an injury, play ahead of Young.

The question is why there is a lack of intensity in some players, to me it looks like the 70’s and 80’s where players are choosing when to put an effort in and usually it is in the cups. SAF would move a few on to get a point over and I hope Jose does the same.

Agree Tony, hoping he gets a rest today, play Carrick or McTominay.
