It’s not common sense, Rashford and Sancho did nothing today, they did not press anything, except for the lucky goal, they did nothing. So, I don’t understand the covering of more grounds that you are talking about.

I guess that’s why you adore Fred. Because he runs around like a headless chicken.

I stopped reading there lol

nitrogen:
You started by saying we haven’t seen Ronaldo, now it’s why play him if we are not creating chances. don’t play any forward players then.

The game hadn't started before you lots wanted to lynch Carrick. That was a very good move for this game.

The forward players that deserved to start today's game are those that can cover more grounds. It's as simple as that. Then we introduce Ronaldo later to capitalize on some moments. There is no agenda there, it's common sense.

nitrogen:
Except you are not watching the game, we have not created a single chance in this game. We scored a lucky goal because of Jorginho’s sloppiness. I don’t understand this agenda against Ronaldo. Someone that ensured that we are still in the UCL

It's not an agenda against Ronaldo. What exactly do you want Ronaldo to do if the team can't create chances? You said he should have started, how would he have influenced the game with the way we had to play today? Are you saying he would have been all over the pitch, creating chances himself?

nitrogen:
Shey Fred for pass the ball to Ronaldo na. You are not creating chances, you are looking for Ronaldo. We were abusing Sancho until the goal because he was not good in possession.

Nawa for you o

Okay the players are beefing Ronaldo, that's why we have not seen him for over about 30 minutes now.

Ronaldo is on the pitch though

weedtaker:
The PK was very soft seff

Unfortunately

AWB saving a certain goal but all we hear is crickets as usual

I was looking at Rashford, was he not further than the ball? A pass to him would have been offside I think

olabode89:
Omo... how the Bleep does this Chelsea team play so wide and high up the pitch??

I go like see them against Bayern, make we know whether them go fit choke them like they do teams in the EPL.

It's the energy and willingness to recover no matter where they find themselves on the pitch. Nobody is strolling around, waiting for some balls to come their way.

larride:
This match you are watching so, is it 11 vs 11?

Unfortunately I don't know again

We may have the slowest reaction in the league

slimghost:
Player for player, there isn’t that much difference between both clubs. The difference is in the ‘coaching’ and ‘management’.
No United team should ever be set up to play this way, not with the talents we have.
I don’t blame Carrick though because he hasn’t had time to impress his philosophy on the players.

First of all, we don't even know if Carrick has any philosophy.

Looking at where we are coming from, man we have to stop the bleeding first before doing anything first. And we were bleeding goals

patrickmuf:
See fools watching Rudiger shoot.

If Rudiger is stepping up, someone should be stepping down to be on him. That's how it should be. That's why it's 11 against 11

slimghost:
Simple! We didn’t come here to win. We set up to keep them at bay. That mindset alone irritates me.

You would have preferred we were losing 3-0 by now. Good one

What we need to understand is that it's more about damage control. There is nothing to build on

frankmoney:
You can't expect to go defensive against an attacking team when your defence aren't rock solid . They will Destroy you

LOL what's the alternative? Play high line?

nitrogen:
Liesssss. Only useless managers will play McFred to cover for their tactical deficiencies.

You didn't answer the question

A major problem is our build-up play. That should be a major focus

nitrogen:
Question is why play McFred, same question we’ve been asking since Ole became the manager. This thing no be about number of bodies in the midfield, na intelligence matter for football na.

Any manager that comes in will still play McFred. Who is the intelligent one that should play in their stead?

These guys are just so soft and be looking confused. The damage that has been done may take a whole year to erase

My God why are these players like this?

We're excited for Rangnick, don't be shocked when he drops any of your favorite

slimghost:
Let’s revisit this topic after the game. None is the 3 midfielders is comfortable with the ball or able to dictate the tempo or control a game.
I wish them goodluck but I am not convinced

I haven't said we will win with this formation and the players the coach has chosen. It's a bold move and I see the logic here. We may not win but it makes sense to line up the team this way against this opponent.

Ronaldo can come in and sneak in some damage

CrystalTiger:
The only problem na Matic really..Does he have the legs to cover more ground?..

VDB for dey there and alow Mctom to sit deep..

Matic will maybe drop into the defense to allow Teles and AWB push up when with the ball.

All these na theory, trying to view the game from the coach's perspective.

slimghost:
This Carrick seems to be a bigger loser than Ole. Hope this parking of trailer works for the Imp.

That's how we said Tuchel parks the bus yet his team is among the highest with ball possession this season

nitrogen:
It’s a stupid move, dropping our main player and playing McFred. It’s BS abeg, na bus this guy wan park.

No he's playing those that can apply pressure all game. Unfortunately that's what we need, not any main player nonsense. Main player has been there from the beginning, but we're in 10th position now. Let's calm down with this main player thing and look at the bigger picture

Fernandes probably end up the false 9, while Sancho and Rashford will flank him

No complaints from me here. This is a very bold move

I guess Fred has the freedom to press higher up the pitch with this formation. Rashford and Sancho will have to run their socks off too

Strugglingman:
isnt salah and co in champions league too?

Please list all your questions, so I can attend to them at once

Strugglingman:
