United really struggling when Juve get the ball out wide.

It's a joke that a player on loan can play against their parent club tbh.

Its hard to blame Mourinho sometimes when that sort of thing happens. Matic just followed Dybala at a trot for 25m and made no effort to get anywhere near him when he was in the box.

They are playing between our lines so easily and overloading areas of the pitch causing all sorts of issues. They must be leaving space when defending with that many players around the ball but we are going straight at them.

Robbo · 23 Oct 2018 at 20:28

Whatever happens here, we're 10th in the league so there's huge pressure over the next few games.

The Running Man · 23 Oct 2018 at 20:29

When you pick the slowest midfielders you can do you wonder why we get overrun.?

Lukaku so isolated upfront

fez · 23 Oct 2018 at 20:32

Please take Matic off. Hes not doing anything defensively. Hes been awful lately.

Robbo · 23 Oct 2018 at 20:33

Not sure what Mourinho expects to happen when you have Matic (legs starting to go), Pogba (ill discipline) and Mata (weak midget) against a solid and experienced midfield.

Looks like a training game for Juventus so far. Just stretch the pitch and huge gaps appear.

It’s not like he scores against big teams anyway.

I know this will result in a Ronaldo goal but he looks like the odd man out at Juve. Bit of a square peg in a round hole.

They mentioned he's not scored a home goal since March? That's woeful

The Running Man · 23 Oct 2018 at 20:36

If Mata wants to learn how to be an effective player he should study dybala

Yeah it’s terrible. Speaking of terrible, Keown’s commentary... urgh.

The two players are nothing alike in talent or athleticism.

Why is Ashley Young captaining Manchester United?

Jose rewarding mediocrity.

Shame really.

But even someone who has been a professional footballer for many years should be able to run forward every now and again? Or get into the box

If he didn't reward mediocrity then none of them would be captain!

A toddler could pass it through our press (when we actually bother to put any pressure on anyone)

It’s a step up from Valencia being captain to be fair.

Thank god its half time. What we need to do is bin off Matic, Lukaku and Young and sign some top players. Then we need to take a quick 10 minute lesson on football tactics.

Only hope is that it can't get much worse than that (football wise) than the first half.
