Manuel Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Good 1st half defensively and midfield. Struggling in the last third but man u doing well defensively. Maybe bring on some height Austin + Pelle and get some crosses in next?
LaptopSaint Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Clasie superb that half. Hope he can keep it up.

NewYorkSaint Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Not a v entertaining half, but one thing clear on that evidence. We're the better team. We're closing more aggressively and edging the midfield battle. Basically, Clasie better than Schneiderlin. Think about that! Clasie's been a joy to watch. Mane has had a frustrating half. I wouldn't say he's played poorly. More that it's been desperately frustrating. That chance where he burst through had what seemed to be a brilliant first touch, but the ball landed on his thigh and threw him off. He's tried a bunch of ambitious passes which haven't come off. I think he's trying too hard. He has shown some courageous tackles including an esp tasty one against Fellaini. I think we're going to nick this 1-0. Austin's moment beckons.
Chez Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Excellence performance so far by Saints. We were in complete control for long periods and looked threatening on the break. Classie having another very good game. His first time forward passing has been the only real genuine bit of class on the pitch. Mane just can't get it right at the moment. Everything he tries fails. Hopefully he will get the rub of the green in the second half. He looks the likely man to unlock the defence, but just needs to get the ball under and go. One big negative is our throw ins. I would go as far to say that 80% end up going straight to the opposition. The formation perhaps isn't helping, but giving the ball straight back, especially in your own half is criminal. Especially considering the effort to get it and keep it see her. Got to do better. COYS you can beat this ****.
JoeShmoe Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 This game really is there for the taking - they are awful - put a bit of pressure on and they'll crumble i reckon

Hopefully you are good at predicting too.
Saint Charlie Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Minor picky point but our throw ins, especially deep in our defensive third, are awful. Need a down the line option. A couple of times they got shots in following us giving a throw straight to them.
saint francis Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs!
Patrick Bateman Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Man United look poor but we aren't capitalising on our chances. Can we keep a clean sheet? Hope so, I've got a bet on at 2-0 with Mane to score first ...
Chez Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 This game really is there for the taking - they are awful - put a bit of pressure on and they'll crumble i reckon Agreed. Up the pressing even more. They are not good envy to play their way out. Charge!
Chez Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Minor picky point but our throw ins, especially deep in our defensive third, are awful. Need a down the line option. A couple of times they got shots in following us giving a throw straight to them. I was saying the same thing. What on earth are Target, Mane, Long and Tadic playing at on throw ins. To feet, and do it quickly. Basics.
Wes Tender Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 great stream on Saintsplayer. Showed the penalty shout for Long and both pundits thought it was a clear penalty. Not at Old Trafford though.
Convict Colony Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 mane's playing like his laces are tied together, clasie being a don, tadic/targett not really in the game yet.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Replays show clear penalty foul on long in the box from corner Right in front of ref not given! I thought this ref was in trouble for home bias after Chelsea
Baird of the land Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Decent first half. A mane in form would have taken that ball down and put it past De Gea. Right now things aren't quite going for him despite him doing 90% of things right. Still not sure about Tadic being in for Davis. Despite the fact we've played well there's been a couple of occasions where we've let them get too much space on edge of the box for shots. One of those knife edge games where first goal could easily win in. Nice to see their crowd turning on them after 30 minutes and them being pressured into launching aimless long balls to try and apppease them
NewYorkSaint Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Spot on, good analysis. Hopefully you are good at predicting too. Check my spot in the prediction league... ;-)
Saint_clark Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 great stream on Saintsplayer. Showed the penalty shout for Long and both pundits thought it was a clear penalty. Not at Old Trafford though. Saintsplayer has live streams now!?
Yorkshire Saint Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 After 60 mins if still the same Austin for Tadic mane in the hole
igsey Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Minor picky point but our throw ins, especially deep in our defensive third, are awful. Need a down the line option. A couple of times they got shots in following us giving a throw straight to them. Something I noticed against Palace in the cup - our throws just slow us down and give them possession. Needs to be worked on, like a team of 9 year olds.
doddisalegend Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Total borefest better for us than them I suppose. Hopefully we nick it depends which teams players stay a wake the longest I guess....
Saint_clark Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 After 60 mins if still the same Austin for Tadic mane in the hole Absolutely not, Tadic has played some great passes and crosses and is literally the most dangerous crosser of the ball in the Prem this season. Austin thrives on that, we need Tadic on the pitch if Austin comes on.
mrfahaji Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Been impressed with Tadic's ball retention, he seems to hang on to it and find a pass even when he's given it under pressure. Mane gets into good positions and then picks the wrong ball or overdoes it. Long is doings. A decent job, if not quite creating much so far.
BotleySaint Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 All set up for us to dominate the second half and Rooney to get the only goal of the game 1-0 Utd. If we go true to our form this season!
Saint_clark Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 In a bid to make United seem so not bad, the stream i'm watching compared Lingaards first half stats to Mane, who has been our worst player so far. Try comparing his stats to Tadic...
5string Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Kept em waiting start of 2nd half. Argentina v Holland 1978, anyone?
5string Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Quick break from ManU, Bertrand tracking back brilliantly. £25m?
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Not happening for Sadio, just need a lucky break perhaps
eurosaint Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 great stream on Saintsplayer. Showed the penalty shout for Long and both pundits thought it was a clear penalty. Not at Old Trafford though. Great stream Saintsplayer, amazed that others don't use it, no adverts etc...
Batman Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 mane has been terrible. great chance to break and he messes up. he keeps trying though. they are a lot better this half
Saint Charlie Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 We are struggling with their extra man in central midfield. JWP for Tadic soon I reckon.
eurosaint Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Mata making a difference for them, Grrrr....

St Chalet Posted 23 January, 2016 Author Posted 23 January, 2016 United really coming into the game now.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 They are better going forward should be more vulnerable too after Mata for Fellaini They are pressing more 3 corners already for them
Batman Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 miles better from mane brilliant break and almost a brilliant cross to long
northam soul Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Target also needs replacing, has not offered enough today
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Tadic a passenger this half. Only been 10 mins
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Wrong ball from mane What could he have done?
Guan 2.0 Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 What could he have done? Good ball from Mane. Darmian got Schlonged though.
5string Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Wrong ball from mane I thought it was an excellent dangerous cross in, put their defence under pressure, with 3 attackers bearing down. Unlucky not to make something from it
Batman Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 ooooooh wanyama goes very close to be fair, their defender on the line probably would have stopped it
