Matic really hasn't recovered his best form yet. That's one of the reasons we look vulnerable imo... when he protects our average defense, he makes it look better, but when he isn't as sharp it exposes their limitations (which aren't few).

I think we played a smart game, we shouldn't be allowing them to win so much the second balls (we clearly have the physical and even numerical advantage), but I feel our players aren't going with their 110% in the duels. Sometimes they man-watch instead of closing the space and tackling. I don't know if they do it because they're confident that's how they'll end up with a counter-attack (and we were unlucky in 2-3 occasions when the ball just missed our players in the counter) or if they're tired, either way, that's the only reason why United dominated possession and had some control over the game. Still they haven't produced much. I think we produced as much dangerous occasions (or maybe more) than they had.

Clear handball by de Gea too. But well, it's not like we should expect any favors (favors = doing their job) from the officials...

Zouma is really not in this game, Felliani has pulled him all the way to the side. So only Matic in midfield lol.

Thats his primary responsibility.He's doing his job

the pass in that counter Iva was fouled but we had the advantage, the one with de Gea handball was by oscar... it wasn't the only thing he's done, but as I said in his thread, the script for comments about him regardless of how the match goes is set before the ball rolls. You're normally fair, but it's so easy to forget what he does for everyone...

ok, you got me, i exagerated, i can name just as many easy passes he misplaced, but the one thing that is bugging me most today about oscar is his lack of energy in defending. He's barely helping out. It has improved since the goal but before that he seemed very lacklustered

We were lucky not to concede in the first awful 20 mintues. Around 30 we started to press more, and the goal came from it. We cant return to sit back with no press at all, that will end with a goal for United probably. Need to keep pushing and get on more counters as we did in the last 15 min.

You dont have to be in possesion, but you cant be passive. Thats what we (again) learned in this 1st half.

100% agree, but I feel some others are the same. I even mentioned it in my previous post, but the worst in that aspect for most time has been Oscar.
