His positioning, his technique, his effort? Or his bad luck? Because for me it's the last one and I'm not going to hound him for it, that's not shit or a mistake The thing is he over committed and dropped to deep to the six yard box...anything behind him and he is out of position From there the keeper covers the low cross Centre halves penalty spot to 6 yards. Centre halves should not be in the 6 yard box before the ball is kicked Had he done that he is goal side of martial and clears it easily Edited January 1, 2021 by Bazmonkey Spelling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In nearly 30 years? That's an incredible stat. I just noticed that too. Sounds mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted January 1, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2021 We looked on top for a while in the middle of the half and then started making bad passes and getting caught by the counter again. Need to be smarter with the ball and not go for the killer pass. Expecting Ollie to beat both Bailly and Maguire to long balls is not smart.

Popular Post LondonLax Posted January 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2021 Man U have been the most in form team in the league since February. We’re at their place and going toe to toe with them. It was an unfortunate goal to concede and we’ve been very poor with our set piece delivery but it’s not been a bad half all things considered. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd almost rather just pass it back to the keeper than let Traore have another go at one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 we're one goal down but reading this thread you'd think we've played like in 15/16. it's been a decent half. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 United much better IMO. Traore been poor but we really don't have anyone to replace him. Long balls to Watkins not working and they're closing Grealish down. Need something different in the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robtaylor200 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I dont think they were much better than us and fluked a goal in the end. second half and direct approach at them we could pull it back, even if we haven't beaten them since having a kick about during the building of Stonehenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like AEG, but blame him most for the goal. Didn't track back at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 we are not defending well as a team and we've been punished, Traore has been gash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to create and be more lethal with this possession though, cause they will keep counter attacking. And by god, cut out the sloppy passing. Need Watkins, Traore, AEG to actually contribute.
