Support NeoGAF

[Steverulez]

We are playing badly.

We are creating nothing. Nobody is getting in the box. The midfield isn't pressing nor supporting in attack. The fullbacks are being got in behind. We aren't picking up men in the box.

Yeah we are knocking it about forwards and back and side to side. That's it.

I don't feel like we've really got into gear because we haven't needed to. Quite happy overall with the defending, Januzaj is having to create nearly everything and we're just sitting back and waiting for it to fizz out.
Good chance earlier which Cech saved, but its almost like we're happy for you to use up your energy when we don't feel you'll break through then when it suits get the ball and go forwards. We've not had much in the way of sustained attacking pressure, we go forwards, shoot/lose the ball and thats about it, back to United attacking.

Dat Eto'two, prolific.

 

[Lambda Pie]

Wow.

Eredivisie-worthy defending.

We've created a few chances, more from Januzaj skill than actual tactics, but it's more than I've seen from this team recently. Let's be honest now, we should have at least one goal, but poor finishing has cost us. That's the attacking side. We're a bit of a shambles defensively.

Genuinely don't think Chelsea have been any better than us though.

This is my job, my precious! Mean ol' Mourinhoses is trying to take my precious!

One goal from where? Absolutely not. We haven't created a clear chance or made Cech do anything special.

Chelsea haven't had to do much. They are absolutely in control and comfortable. Mourinhos game plan is being executed perfectly.

 

[Fergie]

Look at the second goal.

3 defenders standing still in the box, Eto'o beyond them hungry for a goal.

It's a worrying snapshot.

Edit - Ha, Sal said it better.

It's a mess. Team is just unfocused. All over.

 

[Fry]

Damn, our next game is against Everton.

This match will be so important.

Evil Kagawa ‏@evilkagawa Jan 15

Moyes receive FA charge. Misconduct! I say to Moyes "Is it because you caught pretending be manager? Is it Moyes? Is it?" I so bitchy.

That is my personal favourite because it is so true.

I'd count Welbeck's as a clear chance

Spoiler

if it wasn't Welbeck

Welbeck should've scored. Sure he was under pressure from Cahill, but a shot straight at Cech from 8 yards out just isn't good enough.

 

[Perfect Blue]

Mou better put Matic on later for maximum hilarity. Though to be fair he's probably just going to keep it at a 2-0 score line.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Think that's a pen actually. Knocked his right leg out from under him before he's taken the shot

 

[Jarnet87]

We suck. Can't defend, cant attack. Januzaj trying to do everything by himself again as the 2 other attacking players look around. Once again our wingers are clueless and useless. It is pathetic how everytime we attack we've got half the numbers of defenders. Don't know if thats because of our clueless players or because Moyes won't commit men forward. Adnan keeps drifting out to the left but where the hell is Young, again it's dinosaur tactics with these Wingers who don't switch or cut in. Young off Kagawa on and Januzaj out wide, he's practically been out there all game anyway lol. I expected a 2-0 chelsea win, looks like it's gonna be a 4 or 5 nil win.

 

[Ashes]

Puts a defender in midfield: conceeds 2 goals.
Puts a winger in the middle behind the striker: most of his good work down the wing.

 

[Fergie]

Really need RVP and Rooney back.

Welbeck is a good lad has his moments, but he just isn't clinical enough.

All these Adnan chances would be great under RVP and Rooney.


Probably just chuck on Chicha about now.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

He is not being sent out on loan to Vitesse?

Matic in and (easily) scoring on his return would be glorious. brings a tear to mine eye.

Why would that be funny? I would expect him to replace Luiz because otherwise he'll probably get himself sent off

 

[DC R1D3R]

it's grim up north!

 

[Salvadora]

Arsenal could end up being the only big team United beat this season.

Seppuku worthy.

 

[Kiraly]

Hahahahahaha United

hahahahahahaha Kiraly is the BEST!

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Darn, Chelsea's female lion mascot is pretty hot.

 

[Perfect Blue]

No need bro, he honed his skills in Portugal and came to us at his second evolved form. Matic is ready, Matic is hungry, Matic will strike.

 

[Marc]

Only thing that will save this now is if someone knocks the fuck out of Luiz.

If I was Moyes I would be telling Jones and such to sledge the hell out of him, best chance back in the game is that guy getting himself sent off.

 

[Vivalaraza]

It's just depressing that the likes of Valencia and Evra are in this team with no competition, that Jones plays in midfield...and the club have made no effort to bring anyone in.

That really is just staggering to me.

 

[WJD]

Seppuku worthy.

Watch us do it twice n'all

 

[pulga]

I remember before the season started and UnitedGAF were screaming at the top of their lungs about wanting to kick Rooney out, I asked what would happen when RVP inevitably got injured and they'd be stuck with Welbeck upfront

this is what happens

the death of United

 

[The_Hitcher89]

How often does Jones start at CB?

Is it not getting to the point where his future in CB will be in jeapordy because he's spent too long in this important stage of his career out of that position?

 

[GQman2121]

[Perfect Blue]

Well I would expect him to put on Mikel and just play defensively. Having Matic there instead would mean he's going all in.

 

[Fintan]

You'll surely end up signing at least one player this window, right?

and now they worship a kid that would be a bench warmer in any other top team in the planet.

LOOOOOOOOOL

 

[Clegg]

If there's any encouragement for United it's in Januzaj being one of the best players on the pitch.

Just a pisser that the rest of our squad has been poor.

 

[Blackhead]

When a player gets a clear shot from 10 yards or less without a player within 2 yards of him, something has gone terribly wrong

Oh c'mon. They weren't "standing in the box". They had stepped up after the corner to play offside and the defender hanging back is actually the one who messed up

 

[Vivalaraza]

Not sure but id guess about half his appearances are at CB this season.

 

[DC R1D3R]

this half will show whether or not utd are playing for their manager.

 

[GQman2121]

I actually thought Tony and Evra did alright out on the wings. Two or three decent crosses from Valencia and Evra is at least trying.

The FBs have clearly been instructed to stay up around the halfway line and go forward when the ball breaks. That early pressure looked like it was working, but I don't know anymore.

 

[Clegg]

Not looking very likely.

If we put in a big bid for someone then maybe. Don't think we'll do that though.

 

[Vivalaraza]

You'll surely end up signing at least one player this window, right?

Don't see it.

Nothing that suggests we will anyway. I guess it might happen if there is a deal under wraps or if we are desperate after this - but there isn't any serious link that I can think of. Coentrao maybe.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

United are fucking useless

 

[DBT85]

Can someone please show Young how to get a ball more than 3ft off the ground.

 

[Superman]

YOUNG

 

[KidA Seven]

Why does young take our fks?

 

[Kikarian]

Young cannot lift the ball in the air.

 

[K1LLER7]

Why is young taking FKs
