Garry Neville thinks DeGea could have come out to save the cross that led to the equalizer. I wanted to say it yesterday, but people would say I have started.

DeGea is good. Sharp reflexes, etc. But still not commanding his box enough. I have played the highlight several times, I can say Romero came out to punch more difficult balls in the last Europa competition.

My thoughts too but why didn't smalling talk to his Goalie??

Infact ehn, na Rashford make me vex pass yesterday.

"Against Leicester both centre halves were culpable for either of the hosts goals. Jones was caught too far upfield for Jamie vardys early opener while Chris smalling or the apparent inability to readjust due to injury was to blame for Harry maguires late leveller! There is no case for the defence "

Mou conservative approach made Lingard, Miki and Rashford to be playing rubbish in front of goal, pass no, score open net, no. But it's Mou that's holding them back. Muhehehehehehehe. Utter dross.

I think Mourinho has caused a lot of problems with his negative style of play and I won't spare him. The buck stops on his desk whether he likes it or not.

But for this particular game the players need to to be flogged 12strokes simultaneously especially rashford and lingard so that they can cry in unison.

The players should be held responsible for the dropped points.

When we were advocating for perisic to join the team others were yarning dust about his age and what have you! Experience mixed with youth has always been the foundation for all our success at united! Apart from martial Our wingers are mostly just senseless! Never picking the right pass, can't really cross, they don't penetrate, can't link up play with speed and are not really great dribblers or scorers! Turan should be loaned from barca as a stop gap! He is wasting on their bench! Anyway jose has given everyone a chance so there will be no bogus claims of witch hunting as from january or summer when he wields his axe! I'm glad to hear that ryan sessegnon may be a £25m signing with Luke shaw to make way somewhere else! Even central defence may need some upgrades...I really hope this is smallings last year at united too!

Jones isolating his CB like against Chelsea. I don't know if dude thinks he's playing as a midfielder.

It is baillys absence that has caused Phil jones to start to regress. Baily usually communicates to him and gives him solid ideas but that dunce called smalling is the polar opposite...he always injects panic into any of his partners....even when that guy was trying to pass to vardy why not even try a tackle? He was just staring at the ball and shaking like one jellyfish till vardy collected the pass! Smfh!

Lol! So apparently Jones' brain is Bailly? A player 2yrs younger than him. When I call him brainless some think it is hating.

Btw, Smalling going for a tackle there would have been stewped. My opinion

Age has nothing to do with talent! Bailly is our best defender at united bar none! It is not his business that his seniors in the team have decided to remain as otondos for the foreseeable future! What did jones and co learn from vidic and rio? Who is stopping them from still being leaders even under a pragmatic coach like jose who improves defenders?

And Smalling going for a tackle would not have been in anyway _stupid....no one is saying he should have gone in 2 footed but at least try and shunt the guy wide or even from struggling to get a foot in rather than joining him in waiting for his teammate to come and collect the ball and score? Was his wife's picture on that ball?

I think I have come to realize Jose's way doesn't suit young players. Seems dude cannot improve young players especially attackers.


On a side note, the last managers employed by the club has shown lack of direction; 3 different managers with 3 different style of play and each with his own type of players. We need to look at and learn from Barca, Bayern, etc.

Look the season is beginning to take on the shape of a "second place in the league season" even though a lot can still occur between now and may so as from january I actually think he should be looking to blood some new players who may also use the next 6 months to adapt to the league while also improving our all round game with fresh ideas! Allow angel gomes play the 10 role....allow mactominay more game time...get ryan in at LB...recall perreira....try again for perisic, ozil etc....promote another CB and show smalling his time is up! At least the fact that players would be getting penalized for poor performances would ensure the rest sit up and would also make the new guys grab their opportunities with both hands! The squad is stagnating a bit for now!

...... still on the Matter?! I have no Player to blame, rather the Manager. Let JM adjusts his Philosophy, he needs to upgrade and start selecting right Players for the Game.

Lindelof was quiet offensively throughout the Match. Did he even make any Cross at all?! I doubt it. Why was Shaw kept on the Bench, when he should have played LB and Young played RB?

Mata is wasting on the Wing. He's not a Winger, he has no speed to cover the Position. Lukaku keeps spending more time off the 18 yard Box. He's needed in the Team as a Striker for God's Sake! He's signed to bang Goals not creating.

Is Lingard creative, does he get the Skill to orchestrate the Game from the middle?! Mou is getting it wrong. He's killing the Team and the Players morale with his tactical Decisions.

It might be the instruction. Smalling was also caught in opposition's half tracking same Vardy. He was able to foul him though, but Jones couldn't close down Vardy before he passed the ball. The Skysports analyst didn’t blame Jones for being high up the field, but for not marrying Vardy earlier.

But in my opinion, the center backs have no business following a striker down to his own third. However, Lindelof could have helped out. These are some of the things Valencia does extraordinarily that look normal.

Even Bailly goes to tackle high the pitch sometimes.

It is just an incident that could have happened to anyone. Jones has partnered different players successfully, like the great partnership with Rojo last season. It is not Bailly that makes him to stay at center back.
Personally, I believe more in zonal marking in open play than man marking. The center back should stick together while midfielders take care of activities in the midfield irrespective of the player there.

But sometimes, these things depend on situations.

Bailly looks very comfortable because whenever two of our center defenders using right foot (Bailly, Jones and Smalling) are paired, it is Bailly who gets to play on the comfortable right side. Then Smalling. Jones is only played on the right when partnering a left footer.

What does this mean? It could be that Bailly is not yet trusted to handle less comfortable positions. Although I see him as out most confident player. I love his confidence. However looking at the pairings, he is played in his comfortable position. On the other hand, Jones is the one who is played on the left always. It could also mean the coach trust Jones more or that he relies on his experience or that Jones is better using both feet.

Bailly - Jones
Smalling - Jones
Bailly - Smalling
Lindelof - Smalling

The above is the arrangement for our right footers.

Jones was just watching the expected battle between marhez and smalling, expecting one to come out tops. By the time he realized Vardy had stolen a March on him to provide marhez an option, it was too late to catch him then

Mourinho getting all the flak for failing to keep up with a city team that has won all but 1 match this season.
Attacking beasts like Klopp and pochettino are nowhere near him.
Tactical mastermind conte, isn't doing any better.

I no wan even add the other finished club and manager from north London.

But it is Mourinho who is the incompetent one.

The useless manager could only manage to finish 6th last season, winning useless trophies along the way.

Now he has only marginally improved to 2nd.. For the now and has already been knocked out of one the the useless trophies.

What do useless manager.

Kick him out asap
