Barbara 15,149 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dion 2,476 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Are you seriously bragging about that pass? Conference footballers can pull that off, that goal was all Hazard.Come on, it was a fluke, dude. It's not like he took a look and saw Hazard's movement and free space before the backheel.

CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Didn't work against PSG though. I wonder why. Because it was a KO match and we went out on away goals?Or maybe because our defenders were defending each other as opposed to unmarked Thiago Silva?

CMS 382 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,147 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 dude, he just fought for the goal, what are you talking aboutI am aware of that but when in possession he has been bullied of the ball quite easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laugh1ngMan 393 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,928 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Just shore up the center of the park and we're golden. Herrera and Rooney have been given too much space.If only we had Costa or Remy against his United side. We'd spank them I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Mourinho's tactics have been worthless. The only reason we are winning is because of Hazard's brilliance. Where will Mourinho be without Hazard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 You just cant control midfield if your key player is so shit with possesion under pressure. Cesc wa abysmal apart from that involvement for goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

communicate 2,703 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 They have massive holes in behind, but we have only 1 fast player.I wash thinking maybe we should have played solanke instead of Drogba.

Spike 12,049 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Where will Mourinho be without Hazard? What's Duke Ellington without that swing?What's Alex Haley if it doesn't have roots?What's a weekend if you ain't knockin boots?What's a black nation, without black unity?What is a child who doesn't know pubery?What is my label when I exit boom status?What's menage-a-tois, or, that isWhat is sex when you have three people?What are laws if they ain't fair and equal?What's Clark Kent without a telephone booth?What is a liquor if it ain't 80 proof?What are the youth if they ain't rebellin?What's Raplh Cramden, if he ain't yellinAt Ed Norton, what is coke snortin?What is position if there is no contortin?What is hip-hop if it doesn't have violence?Chill for a minute, Doug E.

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 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.
