We don enter one chance, Bruno and Rashford form both drop at the same time. No be this same Palace Leeds and co use rub ground like rag.

This is not a sensible logic. Football no be mathematics.

Ole was never a brave manager.

He will never be one.

Scholes said the Chelsea team was mediocre and lacking for pace.
As it played out he was right.
Ole just set up for the counter and hoped to Odin.

Its sad.
Were still far away from where we ought to be as a top club.
Truth is Ole will only carry us so far.

If he must start Fred & McTominay against everybody side,then that in itself says more than a thousand words.

Mctom and Fred are not Ole first choice, we saw that early in the season, he only reverted back to them when he has no other options besides those two are not that poor, with the likes of Pogba and Matic in the game we have loss and draw games. Pogba was in the match where we loss by a Goal against arsenal.
Cavani is injured, Martial has failed to deliver this season hence he has no option than to start both James(who have not done badly in the games he has played recently) and Greenwood.

Which player does not misplaced pass.

Trevor012:
Of course pick on the easy targets Fred and James. Na una way

I just dey laugh, as people dey call Pogba name as if with him in the tram, we didn't play some goaless draw or lose.
Fred and James dey do wetin dey Sabi, this two are good bench players when better player are available.

TLona1:
I no understand for the guy ooh

He be like say Nwankwo Kanu and Okocha are not Nigeria Legend but Obobona and Sunday May are legend. Figo is not a legend of Portugal but Eder is a legend

ChristineC:
assists in itself isn't an absolute statistic like goals scored or interceptions made.
chances created should be a better measure for attacking midfielders.
two attacking midfielders with comparable quality will more likely have varying assist output if one is behind Nistelrooy and the other is behind Eder.

Team strategy and style of play is also a key factor, you don't expect a quality AM in an above average team who is the focal point of the team not to have high chance created than another one in a team that depends solely on team play without any focal point.

In reality, their is always a reason to discard any statistics being use to compare players. Many teams will prefer an attacking player that both score goals and assists.

CapitalCee:
So in other words he has KDB has 19 goal contribution this season with 1 open play goal all season. While Bruno 35 goals contribution. KDB assist most are even a testament of the system he plays in and how good his team mates are.

Stop behaving as if Bruno started dropping his astronomical numbers just this season. Right from his time at sporting his G/A numbers is what KDB wil ever dream of. He immediately came into the league and hit the ground running, no player has contributed more than him in terms of goals contributions since he came.

Since he came to United he has been better than your KDB in terms of Chances Created and Goals/Assists so what do you want him to do? If KDB has Rashford, Martial and James as his forward men his Assist number will clearly diminish, For the past 3 seasons or so that Bruno burst into the scene he has produced better performances than KDB despite playing in more inferior teams.

Let me ask you this question, WHAT METRIC AS A MIDFIELDER IS KDB better than Bruno?

Really, so sterling, Aguero and Jesus don't miss chance. Clap for your self

KingAlabi:
So we played two 4s in matic and tuanzebe?

Mehn!!!!!

Tuanzebe was sub in for Fred., Rashford was bought in to rest Fernandez.
Mention any fit player that could have been use in midfield.
Van de Beek, Mctominay, Pogba and Mata are all out injured, who could he have rested Fred and Fernandez for.

olabode89:
Amad is not ready and he might need at least another year before he could be relied upon. He just doesn't look comfortable at this level, unlike Greenwood when he first joined the team as a 17 years old.

Raphinha has shown growth from him time at Sporting CP and Rennes plus he has been spectacular for Leeds. His excellent relationship with Bruno during his stint at Sporting CP is also a big plus. I don't think the club will spend 70 to 100M pounds on Sancho, as we might have to splash serious cash on a CF and CB in the summer. Raphinha should be available for around 30M and we could put in Dan James to lower the fee.

Clap for yourself

KingAlabi:
I no even bother watch the match

Na experimental analysis match be that

Why will a serious match have matic and tuanzebe in midfield?

Mention the Midfielder that was available.

nitrogen:
OGS no just get sense.

I just pray, he is not injured

Jodera:
This is agenda-driven and it's surprising you've swallowed it too.

Instead of you guys to be thanking God you've an Am that can score as well as creating chances and giving assist, you're bringing up excuse for an off-form striker called Martial. The day that una Bruno fit go injury (I'm not saying such in the spirit of trolling o), we'll see whether that day martial the striker will start scoring goals

Bruno has his own limitations, likewise other top player in the world. Currently, Bruno is the most important man Utd players and his injury will definitely affect Man Utd negatively.

Patrickmuf1:
Well, then it will amount to dislike for the player...

My post is focused more on the criticism of Rashford and Fred which I think is fair...If we shove our emotions aside, we can easily spot a criticism fueled by dislike of a player...

Then the criticism of Bruno is also fair about trying wayward passes and blocking our strikers from scoring based on his Positioning.

The facts remain that Bruno, Rashford and even Fred with their limitation are currently key component of that Man Utd

Leyqute:
The only players who can be exempted from any slander at this moment are Shaw, Bruno and Cavani. They haven’t put forward the wrong foot on many occasions in the last 10 games.

If Tashford improves on the game he had today he’ll join that group. And if Shaw decides to revert to his old self he’ll be rightly criticized. Simple.

Really, Cavani has not missed clear chances.

CapitalCee:
Arsenal is 11th in the table.

Lindelof cant start ahead of

City: Laporte, Stones or Dias.
Liecester: Soyuncu, Fofana, Evans.
Villa: Mings , Konsa.
Chelsea: Silva, Zouma
West Ham: Issa Diop and Ogbonna.
Everton: Mina and Keane.
Liverpool when everybody is fit.

You think because ole is doing favoritism yiu think Lindelof is not useless?

Lindelof will start ahead of zouma, Joe Gomez and matip, Only Man city has solid defenders

patrickmuf:
Lindelof? Maguire? From Rio and Vidic, see where we landed...

Once those two have injury, we are left with injury prone Baily and Tuanzebe which will be worse than what lindelof and Maguire are both serving us

patrickmuf:
Ole should be more daring against teams like Newcastle...A midfield of Matic, Bruno and Mata would have been better...

If we can't keep clean sheets, we should be blowing teams like Newcastle away easily...

Really, Clap for yourself.

CapitalCee:
Lindelof will not start for any of the current top 8 teams bar injury ravaged Liverpool. That he is even starting for us is mind blowing

Lindelof will start in most of this team including Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal. This teams as shitty defenders when expose.

Can this team cope with injury to Bruno, Rashford, Maguire and Lindelof.

hoopLA:
If I call you olodo now they will say I'm insulting you.

Even when everyone was fit,Fred was starting ahead of them.

Oga pipe down,it's not by force to respond.
If you can't comprehend that my post is a general one and not specific to this evening's game, then I camt help you cast that village witch affecting you.

Why won't he start ahead of them, At the start of season, the coach trusted both Matic and Pogba but we were dropping point then he has to turn to Mcfred, in recent games we have seen him benching Fred before the injury to Pogba.

Why are you wailing now, that the only two options available are Fred and Matic.

hoopLA:
All things being honest,

We are marching towards some heavy beatings in the coming weeks if we keep this trash up.

Firstly, I've never seen a club with the Maguire-lindelof partners
Both of them are first-rate clowns who shouldn't be at a top-level club.
They can't play off each other or complement each other except in trying to outdo each other in errors leading to goals we concede.
No synergy between the two loafers.

Then how is Fred starting every game for United?

And what does Matic actually offer anymore?

The less said of Martial the better.

And our dear Amaka too.

Who should have started the game with Pogba, Van de beek and Mctominay injured. Abeg stop this wailing.

chrisley024:
You don't like James, we understand. But c'mon! The guy is doing well in this game. Martial is the worst

I wonder how some fans think, How many goals have we scored against low block team with all other options available.
The only Players that we can't currently replace is Bruno and Rashford.

CapitalCee:
Na so Chelsea fans dey insult all their players until they sacked Lampard.
CHO thought it was business as usual to be strolling on the pitch until he was removed, next time he gets opportunity he wont misuse it.

Here we have a clueless PE teacher who allows Lindelof, Martial and Fred to be dropping disasterclasses yet he keep starting them.

Who should he start in place of fred

adebayo201:
MAN UTD TEAM NEWS

Team to play Newcastle: De Gea, Shaw, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Fred, Matic, James, Fernandes, Rashford, Martial.

Subs: Henderson, Bailly, Greenwood, Diallo, Telles, Williams, Tuanzebe, Shoretire.

Just few injuries, see as our bench look empty. We need to stop selling or loan fringe players until we can get better players for them to replace them.

timay:
Man utd board will be foolish to be tempted to let him back and give him a new contract.

If anything, this is a very big opportunity to get some money from him from his sale and make. Lingard has paid his due at united and it's better for both parties to move on

Lingard is a good squad player.

Oasis007:
Solskjær: "He [Rashford] is getting better and better and closer and closer. He’s improving all the time. The chances he gets he gets because of his athleticism and his movement."

This is what some people failed to observe

Joezinho:
Swears bro.. rashford is now acting like the British sunday makinwa. But it still beats my imagination why ole still trusts him.

I hope we get it right against Newcastle..

Instead of Rashford, who should the coach start

Won't this our coach remove Bruno, Maguire and bissaka to rest a little

Trevor012:
Rashford cannot score nothing. His finishing is absolute zero.

How come, he has 17 goals during the season with zero penalties

Leyqute:
Kingalabi do you still think Rashford would bury 60% of the goals Mbappe got on Wednesday?

He can actually score those goals, Mbappe has also missed clearer chance than that.

eph12:
If that wasn't given as a foul, then I will know there's an agenda

you are just observing

Nezzjnr:
Stupid Ref

Man Utd needs to start emphasizes on the agenda that the ref are against us.

adisaaowala:
This Fred/McTom partnership no be am at all...

We are really missing Pogba's presence in that Midfield

Pogba was not available when we were playing drab draw or he was not available when we lost against Sheffield United.
