Richardson burns Rooney for pace in the buildup to his missed chance.

How are all the Man United players about 3 yards slower than they were last year?

Well Rooney has been gradually getting slower, isn't a surprise he got burned by Kieran, even through they collided and that slowed Rooney a bit.

They don't respect Moyes. They don't believe in him. So why run fast at all, let alone through a wall. They don't give a...

46 crosses in 45 minutes of football, a cross every minute with added time.

Sweet jesus.

With feckin Rooney, Mata and RVP as the forwards. What is he thinking!

Be hilarious if Moyes said after the game "We train to play through the middle, no idea why its going out wide as much"

Actually it would be sad, very very sad

what's going to be funny is when moyes pulls a chelsea and wins the champions league.
Not with this unorganised defence he won't. At least Chelsea have experience of soaking pressure. This team have conceded early and late all season. Also incredibly easy to tear them apart.
 
I honestly think you're giving them too much credit. They've been that bad. Their only attacking plan is crossing the ball, so utterly predictable.

I know it sounds stupid, but if you cross the ball in enough times, with enough players in the box, it'll go in eventually. Fulham won't score again barring something truly incredible, and there's always the potential for a bit of Van Persie/Rooney/Mata magic. Or Young could curl one in at any time.

A draw is a slight possibility, really can't see Man Utd failing to score though. Its just incomprehensible to have that much of the ball, pinning them that far back, with players of this calibre, and failing to score over 90 minutes
 
Not a great performance by us. Everton weren't that good either although they might have got something if Martinez had played a proper striker. Defoe sub was stupid but it's obvious why he did it. He got a great send off at the end. Tim needs to to stop playing Bentaleb so much. He can play but a lot of the time the game just passes him by. He doesn't demand the ball like Tom Carroll does. He should have brough him back if he wants to make a point, and sent Bentaleb on loan.
 
This funnily enough reminds me of the Kenny and Commoli regime at Liverpool. We bought Carroll and Downing and did nothing but cross the ball because of some stat metric that said crosses were much more likely to lead to goals. We usually lost 0-1. The crosses only work as part of a mixed attack plan, with a tallish striker. If the opposition expect it, it's incredibly hard to score from them.

The fools. If only they had done 4 more before halftime. When will they learn?

Christ, that was annoying. Not only did Downing's crossing ability desert him all season, so did Carroll's ability to get in the box and attack the ball
 
Come on, its Fulham. UTD are bad but not that bad. This would be the shock of the season. The players hate Moyes. But they don't hate themselves that much surely?

Yeah there will be United goals there. It has been almost there so many times now if there was just one or two more players in the box.
