Cheesh! I hope they take it easy and don't go for six!
COYW.
Chance for three points here.
13 mins gone...
Started quite an even, uneventful match with no real chances so far, Fulham the better team the last few minutes with Iwobi starting to loosen up and looks in the mood to do something, and Fulham taking control of the middle of the pitch.
Onana looks so shaky whenever the ball gets near him, hopefully he will give us a couple of assists
This is probably the worst United side I've seen, including the one we beat with no centre backs years ago.
Sitting on a beach in Turks and Caicos. How are we doing?
We run Zero attacks down our right hand side with Wilson out there.
We're so lopsided its unreal. Very predictable.
We've been the better team but also not creating much, need to mix it up

Wilson isn't good enough for 90 mins as a starting RW, he has 2/3 moments in a game and that's it and doesn't apply enough pressure down the right hand side; Iwobi is the perfect example of how he needs to play but he just goes AWOL
We tend to channel everything down the left though. We do this every game, then start using the right wing at some point and suddenly become unplayable.

He's better through the middle getting into the box , which TBF i think he's instructed to do off the right but it leaves us with nothing on the wing
Traore time second half.
Just absolutely nothing final third from both sides. We have to be better

Agreed
It seems to me, we really struggle to squeeze a goal or two out of plenty of attacking play.
Man utd are so poor, we need to be doing a lot more
Rocket needs to be put up them for the second half
Dare I say the match official is doing okay?
Quote from: bill taylors apprentice on January 26, 2025, 07:46:55 PMIt seems to me, we really struggle to squeeze a goal or two out of plenty of attacking play.
TBF we usually create a little more than this. A couple decent chances for Iwobi but generally were not expansive enough. I think Adama will scare the lights out of them second half. We're all not playing out from the back as effectively as we often do. They're pressing well and we're not getting around them as much as we have in other games.
In control but hopefully our subs can help unlock them
0-0 after 45 minutes, and to be honest, the game was quite boring. Fulham played a bit better, but it wasn't enough to gain an advantage
Pretty Dull 1st half, Fulham the better team and maybe would deserve to be 1-0 up if they just made better of the 3 or so semi decent opportunities. They should have made more of them, and made more in the first place.
United have hardly had any attack at all.
Just need that bit more bite in the attack, come on
Get Adama on, if not at half time, than soon after. Muniz and AP on later too.

Some better deliveries from the left and we could be ahead, but overall a very quiet and low key game so far. Both teams look afraid to make mistakes, yet there has been a lot of ball turnover in the midfield areas.

Dull first half. We shaded it. But we have very little attacking threat. Hope we quicken up the pace a bit 2nd half. Worried they get one chance, a goal then sh*thouse the rest of the game with a spawny win like they do at the cottage. COYW
The idea is there with the long diagonals but you need roadrunner Traore going after them to scare them a bit. Otherwise we've controlled everything else, just need a bit of composure around their box and it's there for the taking

Instead of who? Raul decent, I am not convinced Muniz will play better, Adama for who?

Muniz later on, when Raul tires. Adama for Wilson/Iwobi/ESR, whoever Marco thinks is best. AP also, like Muniz, later on, instead of Wilson/Iwobi/ESR.
Yep just get Adama on. Right is non existent
Well no choice now. Wilson frigging looks cropped. Nightmares
Hate to say it but Smith Rowe has been really bad.

Can't get into the game, he's looked very average
ESR doesn't look at it today
Swap for Muniz and drop Jiminez in a little

Maybe I'm being unkind but I'd credit Berge and Lukic more than him. ESR seems not to have his touch about him tonight.
Castagne offers little going forwards and today his defending has been a bit desperate.
Anywhere to watch the game.?
It's hilarious how it's always ESR who gets pelters when you literally had Wilson with the second lowest number of touches doing an invisible man act, or Andersen who's spent most of the first half launching long balls back to United, or Robinson belting all of his crosses into touch, but no it's ESR that gets called out again. It's really boring now
Come on Muniz. Please, please give us some magic as this is dire
ESR is meant to be our most creative spark with quality in the final third
Not been much creative spark or quality in final third
I don't think I've ever criticised ESR? That said I only come on here on match days so maybe I'm missing something.
TC? Just need some sort of quality on the ball

I agree that the forum has it in for certain players at certain times. ESR has been average but, as you say, Andersen's distribution has been League One standard today.

I take your point but he gets more heat than some because other players have better performances in the bank. We all know ESR is a good player - we just haven't seen enough of it.
The crowd has been tragic btw, Ali Mac is ruining our home games and making them feel like away games with this ticketing policy

Yeah that's outrageous. I haven't been to a game in a while just because I can't in good conscience prioritise that kind of money for football.
Is there anything positive? Usually the comments follow the game and not just complaining.
I would love to get to more games but I live in Scotland so it is not easy.
I have sky but apparently they have some sort of nasty attitude showing Fulham. They have no problem showing the poo shows from Manchester.
Someone needs to snap Martinez and show him he's not the big dog he thinks he is. Constantly going in for leg breakers too, he needs to be sat down.

I mean yeah, we've been on top, but haven't created enough. A bit too predictable. United look atrocious.
Just a boring game in general.

It's nothing to do with the price of the tickets every part of the ground is quiet.
I just read the post, 160 quid....WHAT??? At that price time for a protest and nobody should attend a game or two.
I would tavel south for a protest, only cost me the fare.
Sh!t
sane old
Lucky ***** every single loving time.
That's just the icing on the cake.
Ffs

Lucky goal for United as always.
I had a feeling that might happen. Cracking three points for a very bad Utd side.
To be honest this has been insipid on our part, United are shite but we've looked like a league 1 team. Castagne and Andersen have been poor, none of the forwards have asked any questions
If you don't try and win the game you risk losing it
Far to pedestrian from us and getting our punishment for it

Andersen shouldn't even be in the team, should be Diop there

I'm usually positive mate but what exactly has Onana had to do in this game? They are rubbish. Absolutely dreadful. So sick of losing to these at home
Pereira still can't beat the first man with a corner. Waste of a salary
"Frustrating" is how I'd sum up this season.
I'm so bored of being charity fc for these sides.
Iwobi been very poor today in execution
All round attack has been lacklustre, dont deserve to lose but a bore draw would have been the fair result
Crikey the next two days media frenzy is going to be about United turning a corner, how wonderful Fernandez is and is Amorin the messiah. An honest journalist would be tucked in bed now with absolutely nothing to write.
Onana has had nothing to do all game.
Oh yeh we don't need a striker......
Is everyone sure we don't need a centre forward?
Eesh Muniz could have had 2. Gutting this one
We've been awful. I think United have been worse, but we only have ourselves to blame.
Martinez as man of the match, after that horrendous two footed challenge on Adama, says it all.
Edit: two deflected goals. Ugh.
Absolute dog sh!te
I am sorry, but Muniz is not a forward; he has no goals at all, he is a cheerleader.
TV off

What a poor game from us today
What a train wreck of a night against very poor opposition.
Dear Sirs,
Please can we have a No.9?
Thanks
No composure in front of goal at all.

I mean, imagine what it could of been with a consistent additional striker to the roster though. These games just scream how inconsistent our strikers are and we have too many of these days especially against weak opposition.
Their second offside but we've still lost. Gutted.
That sums it up, we've got a minute left and we walk it to the halfway line and boot it out for a goal kick. I have no idea why our players have turned into brain dead idiots but it always happens against United at home. loving Pereira didn't make a pass when he came on did he?

Id love one don't get me wrong but our wingers created absolutely f all for Raul for 60 minutes. Poor from our front line period
This season we've scored pretty well but conceding crap goal after crap goal.

King > AP
Nowhere near good enough when their goalkeeper didn't even need to make a save.
West Ham is interested in Muniz? It's time to let him go! At 23 years old, he doesn't seem to have a future here. He struggles to put pressure on defenders and has trouble finishing. It's best to move on.
We had a great chance when Raul had run free but Robinson delayed and then messed up the cross. Apart from that we created nothing substantial. Utd created literally nothing all game.
Sadly we are flattering to deceive far too regularly
