BotleySaint Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 Apparently the Saints bench felt that Lukaku fouled Hoedt in the buildup to the goal. He just out-muscled him from what I could see.I wondered that. Need to see a better replay. I think Lukaku is just too good. Perfect premier league striker.
obelisk Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 It's hard enough against Man Utd without passing the ball directly to them in midfield.
Saint Albert Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 Man U looking dangerous on the counter-attack...Hoedt does well to clear it.
BotleySaint Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 Giving the ball away far too easily. Everyone guilty of it today
austsaint Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 Lemina, like VVD, already looks several degrees better than anyone else we've got. By a long, long way. There has to be a change to our front three - Gabbiadini on.
SaltashSaint Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 I wondered that. Need to see a better replay. I think Lukaku is just too good. Perfect premier league striker. There was a blatant shove just before the cross came in. By the letter of the law, it should have been a foul.
CWD Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 Not played badly but we don't look like creating anything from open play. Painfully inept up front.
niceandfriendly Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 Strangely Romeu is looking off the boil.
Batman Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 alright. United have not had to be good at all to be in front. I would love to see Gabbi on for Redmond...ffs, give us a chance at scoring I would get our £75m defender on also
mrfahaji Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 I'm disappointed with our passing. United have pace and are strong/big. I'm not convinced they are particularly comfortable with the ball on the ground though. If we can get it together that's our best chance, to play around them. Unfortunately we are sloppy, giving the ball away unnecessarily. Davis is guilty of looking for that incisive pass when it's not on. Good that he's thinking about it, but frustrating when he goes for an "eye of the needle" pass when there are other options to keep the move going.
OttawaSaint Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 Meh we don’t look anywhere near scoring. Something has to change. It’s like we watch the same ****ing game every week. Our tactics and formation are utterly ineffective. Why do we keep doing the same thing?
niceandfriendly Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 There was a blatant shove just before the cross came in. By the letter of the law, it should have been a foul. Looked fine to me, but if you're right that probably evens it up for the pen Man U should have had against Fellianiniani when Hoedt pulled his shirt
5string Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 I can't get a stream - not too disappointed, though. Are we really as bad as all the reports suggest?
farawaysaint Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 I can't get a stream - not too disappointed, though. Are we really as bad as all the reports suggest? We beat Palace ok, we're amazing.
Baird of the land Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 Pretty happy with how we are playing to be honest. Utd look a very dangerous side Romeu has made a couple of bad mistakes. Hoedt was very poor physically for their goal. There were a couple of instances where Davis who is having a very good game should have had a shot rather than playing the extra pass. Lemina looks fantastic. Long fantastic hold up play. That was a beautiful know down header from hoedt's cross field ball and you just want the anticipation to be better When we are having shots we are snatching them. Bertrand's one in particular. I'd like Van Dijk on for his physical presence personally.
Saint Albert Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 I don't think Saints played that badly in the first half. Lemina looks classy again. Enjoyed watching him get stuck in against Fellaini. I'm worried they'll get us on the counter as we push for an equalizer in the second. I'd bring on Gabbi for Redmond, but I expect that Pellegrino will bring on JWP first. Redmond has carried right on from where he left off against Palace.

stknowle Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 I know its United, they are very good this year but fux sake we simply do not look like ever scoring with these players and formation. Redmond and Tadic plod out week after week behind an isolated lone attacker and the same non-threatening, non-entertaining, lethargic cr@p unfolds.
doddisalegend Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 We offer about as much threat going forward as a old man with penile dysfunction in a whore house. The difference utd on the counter ( three or four players busting a gut at speed to get into our box) and our counters ( one isolated player running to the halfway line, watched by his static team mates, before giving up and passing backwards) is pretty remarkable.
trousers Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 (edited) At the game. A decent first half performance from us. Have contained Utd for the most part. Utd look a lot more dangerous than us going forward (said trousers stating the bleedin' obvious!). Gabbi on for Redmond in the second half for me. P.s. Fellani getting away with murder as per usual Edited 23 September, 2017 by trousers
NewYorkSaint Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 Bring on VVD and Gabb for Yosh and Redmond.... Saints playing well against a really good team.
T.REX Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 I could be wrong but thought it was Tadic who let Young cross? Think we're playing generally ok, Long isolated but United just look strong all over the pitch sadly. Definitely miss Pelle's qualities in these kind of games.
saintadam Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 Redmond should be dropped for a couple of matches. He must be fantastic on training but he's offering nothing on the field right now.

Think we're playing generally ok, Long isolated but United just look strong all over the pitch sadly. Definitely miss Pelle's qualities in these kind of games. It was Tadic. His defending is as lacking in urgency as his attacking.
SaltashSaint Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 Looked fine to me, but if you're right that probably evens it up for the pen Man U should have had against Fellianiniani when Hoedt pulled his shirt It was a definite foul. But you're right, it probably evens it up. Unfortunately for us, keeping a clean sheet was vital as I can't see us scoring in this game at all.
OttawaSaint Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 Attacking mids don’t want to bust a gut to get into the box. Tadic and Redmond need the ****ing hairdryer treatment. Fergie would have taken Redmond off for that moment where he just jogged lazily up the pitch while Long was busting a gut to bring the ball down and look for runners.

There is much space between the front three mins flick ons go to nobody. I doubt utds defence have had many easier afternoons.
Saint Albert Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 Lemina looking good against the Armenian (I won't try and spell his name).
stknowle Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 Redmond must have dirt on on someone at the club. How is a dead cert is worrying It's just lack of options really if we are going to insist on playing this formation all the time. Give Gabby a go but then he'd be playing out of position so probably wouldn't work. It's 2 out of Redmond, Tadic and Boufal. All of them have been uninspiring at best crap at worst all season and most of last.
Suhari Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 1 goal from open play in the last 15 hours at At Mary's, according to the commentator. Hadn't realised it was quite that bad!
Saint Albert Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 Hoedt down...he looked pretty uncomfortable for a bit.
Saint Albert Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 How did Romeu miss that? Did Jones get a deflection?
OttawaSaint Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 This is better from Saints but someone has to be brave and shoot. Bertrand coulda curled one from there but tried to get the perfect pass in.
mrfahaji Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 Shoot Tadic! Is that an instruction to Tadic or an instruction to a budding rifleman?
Lighthouse Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 1 goal from open play in the last 15 hours at At Mary's, according to the commentator. Hadn't realised it was quite that bad! 2017 Saturday afternoon At home Not playing West Ham Goals from open play... 0
stknowle Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 how was that not a goal? It didn't go over the line between the posts.
niceandfriendly Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 Lemina looking good against the Armenian (I won't try and spell his name). It's spelt exactly as it sounds. Mickateareeyan.
Saint Albert Posted 23 September, 2017 Posted 23 September, 2017 (edited) Heinous give away by Cedric to Mata..he got away with one there. Edited 23 September, 2017 by Saint Albert Mata for Matic
