Yes, I agree. With the first 3 it's all so slow, it's a bad mix. I'm not melting after one game, but we've seen it all before - we're not a good team to watch at the moment unfortunately.

Pre season game against AC Milan and when we had Onomah, Winks and Alli on we looked so fluid and zippy and linked really well. Not saying that's the answer but it showed how the balance could be.
He had given the ball away before the time that led to the goal and several times after that!
I don't know what game you were watching!
It seems to me that his new contract has gone to his head and he thinks he's alot better than he actually is!
He needs to put in a lot of hard work and he was rightly subbed today.
How about you do the same when it comes to players you don't like?
Anyone moaning about Walker just fuck off. He was our best player today. Unlucky to score an og, he had to try and nick the ball away or Rooney had a tap in.
Its
It's all about pace in this league, especially away from home. Soak up the pressure and break quickly and we have nobody to do that. We isolate Kane so much it's so frustrating. Unfortunately with our current manager it won't change so best we get used to it
Agreed. He's a different player to last season; hope to see more of that.
We were fine today. United created nothing. Our in midfield wasn't great but we shouldn't concede from Bentaleb giving the ball away from midfield. The two centre halfs were drawn to the same player and left Rooney free. But thats our defence and what you cant help expect from them since King and Woodgate departed.
So frustrating today. We were not bad. I feel the way we are setup leads to mistakes though and the opposition know it and are just waiting to take advantage. It was sloppy from Bentaleb he should have seen it coming but he is young and anyway, as I say, I think the way we setup means that mistakes like this will occur most games. So unless we can be super clinical and put away our earlier chances we will continue to see this sort of thing.
What makes you say that? Just the high line pressing?
Yeah, this is my beef about Kane, I'd just like to see him link up more - you can't beat a nice one/two on the edge of the area. His strength is his finishing, once he develops his creativity he'll be a real force. Failing that we can go back to Townsend hogging the right wing, cutting back on to his left and lobbing hopeful crosses into the box - it worked for Soldado.
I think Pocc likes his CB to play out from the back and often spin wide to receive the ball. If you lose possession in bad areas though you have to quickly snap back into position.
don't ask, really....
and if you don't comment - then we are both happy
the guy I was talking to had no problem - but then again, he isn't on a mission to criticise everything I say.
Sorry, you said to ask next time.
Yeah, but he comes deep to try to link up, and he drifts wide to find space. I wouldn't blame him so much.
even when it was explained to you, you didn't have the humility to admit you were wrong, you simply found another way to blame me for your prejudice.
and you wonder why I don't want you to bother saying anything?
Fuck off mick. Really please. I didn't accept your explanation - fair enough?
