So those that were strolling around in the first half where looking for Herrera? See we upped our game against Leicester and scored 3 set pieces within minutes. We wouldn't always be lucky. Aside that we always struggle to create chances from open play even in that match

capricornian:


He did nothing wrong apart from not offering anything towards the attack

capricornian:



You are absolutely right... I enjoyed the Leicester match and I believe it was one of our best matches but I was not carried away. Three goals from set pieces and one from open play. I believe we do not create enough chances and it's even worse when we play defensively compact teams. I believe we would have been better if Martial was in good form like last season.

We gave too many average players who never raised their games when needed. I think we need a very dynamic right winger.

little move, the ball’s fired in…and he’s got an

And that – ladies and gentlemen – is how
"Robbie Savage" described "Rooney’s"
scuffed misdirected shot that was headed over the line by "Zlatan" for Manchester U’s 1st shot on target in the 69th minute of last nights Europa League clash with Zorya.

No serious top team would use Fellaini in the midfield. How he's one here in such very important position is beyond me.

I did not see the match. From your write up you are expecting too much from fellaini. In his mind all he needs to do to believe he has played well and contributed his quota is to not lose the ball and that means plenty of simple passes to the nearest player even if non of the passes are forward passes not to talk of initiating and attack or doing an incisive defense splitting pass to put a striker through on goal.

In fellaini's case I can't even say "you can't give what you don't have" because I have seen fellaini torment US when he was in everton. I guess the roll he plays now maybe hampering him from performing that way.

The truth is that fellaini is not a Man United type of player, simple.

You didn’t read he has a back problem and Mourinho decided to bench him today because he knew Rooney wouldn't reach his optimal. Mourinho said he wanted to protect him from bad press because Rooney wouldn't be able to play his best because of his back problem.

He didn’t get a good hit of the ball because he couldn't jump and twist to hit it. I suspect the back problem.

AikayDaWrapper:
Fellaini is a major reason why the attackers don't perform well.

Players like Carrick and Blind release passes more directly and faster to the attackers thereby giving them more space to attack and do their thing. When Fellaini is on the ball he's simply too sluggish and by the time the ball gets to our attackers the other team has already organised their defence making the job of breaking them down harder.

Fellaini is not a bad player, he's just not united standard and his best role is box to box but man utd require more agility and technique in this position than he can offer. The guy should go to palace or Stoke.

Who's the black kid...Name has been eluding me

WTF is this?? He has a back problem so what? In HIgh School when I popped my acl and out for the rest of my season, next season my coach wanted to put me in for preseason as a sub but during warm-ups I wasn't feeling it and promptly told him...He immediately pointed to another player to get on.


Besides even the worst player on my college team can control that ball and slot it in not to mention a professional striker...He had plenty of time, no need for a first time or what do you have to say about his Northampton miss too?

Face it, it's time for your bf to head to the retirement home!

You.... Played football too? Ajigbijigbijigbi

Any way, anyone can play football when your play mates are your evil gang members high on weed, tired from sex and feeling drunk from ogogoro. No one comes to mark you on the ball for five minutes.

Talk is cheap, I am not here to leak my personal info so hypothetically I have never kicked a soccer ball, but I have cleats good enough to kick some brain cells of yours back to default...Good job avoiding the Northampton miss...Your Bf is finished...Stop clutching at straws

This is what we have been saying for years. It is not that Fellaini is a terrible player, it is that he is just not United standard. And I don't think there is a space for him as a squad player because he is such a situational player and we cant plan to play like the old Stoke or Bolton.

Even the current darling Herrera is a squad player at best in that position for a club aiming to return to the higher echelon of European football.

AikayDaWrapper:

I think Herrera is a good fit for now. The guy might not be a world class midfielder, but you don't need world class in every position. Casmeiro is an example, he's not top class but he does his job and helps the team tick.

Herrera brings something that many of our players now don't exhibit and that's passion for the club. He could be a very good holding mid if Mourinho can teach him discipline. He already has the other abilities like aggression, tackling, mobility, vision and technique. If he just gets that I can't think of too many AVAILABLE midfielder in the world I would pick over him to hold. Verrati? Can't think of anyone else.

elampiro:


There was no real miss in Northampton. Someone swings a cross in from close position that apparently looked offside, then the ball took a flight over the boot of another. How was that a miss?

dopeJemi:


I read a piece that said no Team has had more shots on target than united this season, 76shots on target, we've averaged one shot on goal for every 3.8minutes of possession

capricornian:


It might be true but when u watch our team play I don't think that stat would really matter that much. I am not saying stats don't matter but we need to reflection of the stats. Not sure I know what am saying actually cos am under some influence at the moment but there has been no much of penetration. How many of these shots have turned to goals?

Pogba and a lot of them have been playing shots from outside the box and am sure those were the shots registered.

The way we played yesterday was the same way we played after the CITY match that made us lose matches. We tends to be clueless when we playing against teams that park the bus and unfortunately we will still face a lot of teams that will do same.

I am not blaming the Gaffer but he needs some dynamic players. Mata and Pogba to me are conditionally dynamic... Jesse is not there, to me.. Rashford can only do so much... Martial is off form... lets not even talk about Rooney at all. Herrera....hmmmm

The problem with most of our players is that they are so good at blowing hot and cold . The level of their consistency is ridiculously low.
