Its not coincidence that when we are missing Carrick we look 1/2 the team. Herrera is coming really deep to pick up the ball and Rooney is back in midfield. It was never going to be a stellar performance. RvP has been in some good positions but his finishing seems to be just as good as before he was injured.

Mata has done okay, clearly he's better in a more central role. I'd stick DM on for Fellaini and put him out wide by swapping with Mata

RvP's one decent chance he was way too slow in the turn

That would mean our CM would become absolutely invisible (mata isn't a CM at all) and any WBA corners /free kicks we would be even more in danger than we already are

Its an all or nothing move

RvP has had at least 3 chances that he would have scored or make a decent effort of when he was in form.

McBain · 2 May 2015 at 18:37

Is he going to book Myhill or what? That's about the fourth time he's prompted him to stop time wasting.

Shamikebab · 2 May 2015 at 18:43

Please bring on ADM or something, this is poor.

McBain · 2 May 2015 at 18:47

Been a long time since i've seen a team setup so negatively.

fez · 2 May 2015 at 18:47

That was stone wall. Not at all surprised that the ref didn't give it.

Shamikebab · 2 May 2015 at 18:48

It's a shame Herrera is playing as the deep midfielder. When he does come forward he's offering us a lot more than RvP is.

McBain · 2 May 2015 at 18:50

That's an absolute travesty.

Lord-Jaffa · 2 May 2015 at 18:50

lol what a screamer

Pretty much knew that was coming with how the game has gone, just a total joke in the centre of the pitch, no penetration at all for what, 7-8 years now?

Shamikebab · 2 May 2015 at 18:51

Of course. Classic really. Terrible defence strikes again. Combine that with appalling refereeing and appalling luck and of course we're 1-0 down.

MacMiniBoy · 2 May 2015 at 18:52

you love it

Jono8 · 2 May 2015 at 18:52

Not a great time for us to completely collapse as a team : /.

Robbo · 2 May 2015 at 18:53

Bit of a fluke that, but we've no excuse, need to break them down.

McBain · 2 May 2015 at 18:55

This ref is having a complete nightmare, playing advantage with no advantage, stalling the play when there's advantage. Christ sake, it's not rocket science.

Shamikebab · 2 May 2015 at 18:56

Lescott raises his arm to block the ball there.

McBain · 2 May 2015 at 18:58

Hahaha, 70 minutes and they're playing the ball into the corner.

MacMiniBoy · 2 May 2015 at 18:59

no way would this united team have gotten top 4 last year

Shamikebab · 2 May 2015 at 19:00

Games like this make me want to stop watching football. So boring to watch one team just stick 10 men behind the ball and time waste for 90 mins.
