We needed to win this to show seriousness of finishing top four. We started well but soon allowed City to boss the game. Our midfielders and forwards had nothing to offer. For Rashford it's all run and run. He doesn't know anything about contesting for long balls out of our defence, instead he hoped for experienced defenders like Kompany and Otamendi to miss a header so that that he could run free to score. Martial offered some defensive cover but he lacked support going forward as Fellaini was all negative. The few times Rashford tried to run behind the defence, Fellaini still couldn't spot him. The game was bigger and stronger than Mkhitaryan. Most of our players were easily shaken off the ball and lost 50-50 balls easily. We were like light weights, except for Bailly and Valencia. Pogba should have offered some power and ball retention. With him, Fellaini and Herrera should have shown. The result is only good for pride and unbeaten run. May with some slim chance of over taking Liverpool. |

AdisaOwala: Rashford only knows about run run run. He couldn't contest for balls to try to win some and bring others into play. |

elampiro: That's part of what IBRA brings into the game. Rashford still needs to learn that but he's good when we possess the ball. Though he's still young but he needs to start learning fast. 2 Likes |

adebayo201:I hope you're not the only wey see that pogba sized hole in our midfield. Jose can setup Herrera, Fellaini and Carrick to stifle the opponent attacking moves but who engineers our own attacking plays? I hope his ready for the Swansea game. 1 Like |

elampiro: Rashford has never been known for winning aerial battles. Coming into this match, who was he gon contest with? Kompany?... The couple of times he attempted to, early in the game, he was bullied off. He's still young and will improve that aspect with time. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by tess1(m): 10:45pm On Apr 27, 2017 |
SIRcumalot: As much as Pogba over does things in matches, we missed him today because of his well tailored passes he used to loft behind centre backs. Micki isn't fully adapted to EPL games. He was so poor in that match losing possession or getting dispossed anyhow. I hope he improves next season. 1 Like |

SIRcumalot: Funso is injured? The one I wanted us to give a run of league games in the absence of Fellaini. We are going to fall back on Rooney for the remaining campaign if Pogba doesn't return soon. |

elampiro:I was just complaining about how they were bullying our attackers and midfielders throughout the match. Almost every 50-50 balls were lost. And Rashford has never been the kind of striker to contest up long balls so I don't think I expected him to start yesterday. That's one reason Jose will prefer players like Ibra. We would have done better if we had midfielders that played the ball of the ground for Rash to sprint to. Mkhi made no single meaningful contribution to our attacking play. I think he lost all the balls he got. It was a repeat of his performance against City in the first leg. The only difference was that our defenders stood firm this time. Bailly has proven to be excellent especially in the absence of other solid defenders. He has been very intense for us. 1 Like |

elampiro: It was so disgusting seeing it. Like what is Mourinho tell that boy. That he is the new ferrari? He won't even contest for long balls, instead stay 100 meters behind defenders who know how to deal with long balls and hope for mother luck. Very rubbish play from him. |

elampiro: you saw it too.. the one that annoyed the most was when he passed to martial on the flanks when rashford made a run similar to the one he made against Chelsea for the first goal fellaini is not intelligent at all, whenever he starts an attack I am always calm because I know nothing will come out of it, he is that dumb |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Khaytunechi: 9:38am On Apr 28, 2017 |
dopeJemi: Saw this one,, twas in d second half and if it were Herrera Carrick or even Blind they'd have threaded the ball to Rashford and he'll easily beat Kompany for pace,, but the camel passed to Martial who was standing so close to him in a crowded area and standing flatfooted,, ignoring someone who was already on the run for a final pass.. I really do not know what he expected Martial to do with the ball.. Fellaini is dedicated and hardworking bla bla bla but the guy is limited technically and soooo very clumsy.. He'll only be good enough when you're pushing for a goal and you need an extra body in the opponent's box.. He gives his best I guess,, but his best is never enough most times.. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by adebayo201: 9:43am On Apr 28, 2017 |
elampiro: Never! JM wouldnot and cannot play Rooney in that midfield. He stated it clearly that it's either he plays as a 10/9/9and half. Moreso, Ibra has been the one keeping Rooney on the bench bar injuries and game plan. And i think JM is trying to make Rooney less a player than he was some years back so that we wont have anything to say of him benching Rooney... That can be said about Smalling too, making English players less of themselves. |

Khaytunechi: God bless you I want him sold abeg, if we need a work horse, we can pick one from our academy or buy a cheap player with a brain that functions |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 11:05am On Apr 28, 2017 |
adebayo201: There was a game Rooney played midfield in the second half earlier in the season. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by adebayo201: 11:17am On Apr 28, 2017 |
elampiro:which game sir?? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 11:37am On Apr 28, 2017 |
adebayo201: It's early this season, I can't remember the opposition now. He played first half as a forward but went there in the second half. |
