I truly believe that if Ziyech and Kante are subbed off then our game changes. Props to Ole who was smart enough to use the pressing tactic.

Pulisic - IN
Ziyech  - OUT

Kovacic/Kante too similar .

Watch all Moroccans go overboard when they see Ziyech substituted lol. He is not up for it at all and he is very slender, gets bullied away very easily unfortunately.

Tuchel needs to bin Ziyech at half time asap, guy is a complete liability.

Hurts to see Ziyech like this 😕

I have no clue what his issue is, he went from 'wand of a left foot' cross merchant and forward-driving player to a shell of what he was, horrid passing, looks like game is moving twice as fast as he is, in both mind and body

Ziyech looks 100% like a dude who’s barely played. Every pass is behind his teammates.

I’ve been desperate for him to play but he’s not dealing with United’s press well at all.

Well tbh, he ha hardly started. He needs to be given a run of games to build up form, otherwise, the player will never ever look match sharp.

I would take giroud off at half time. Werner through the middle or Mount false 9 (heck even mount false 9 and pulisic left). 

Give ziyech 15 -20 minutes with more movement, United sitting further back so he has more time on the ball and see if he improves. If he hasn't take him off

I've watched him a lot at Ajax and he looks like a completely different player. He offers nothing at the moment, on and off the ball he is a liability.

I wonder if United decided to press high up after seeing that front 3 of ours when the team news came out because the game hasn't taken the pattern that we were all probably expecting. Giroud has no pace to beat any backline. Ziyech and Mount prefer to come onto the ball. No one makes run off the ball to just push them, to worry them about a ball over the top.

Some show glipses of good play, this guy showing nothing at all, this isn't just lack of matches, he is simply not cut out for the PL seen this before with Cuadrado.

[King Kante 1,643]

Ziyech needs to come off he is an absolute passenger. I am also concerned how Shaw keeps bombing down the wing with Callum not tracking him. I would bring James on and put CHO up next to Mount. 

As for other players, Kante is struggling to pass and Chilwell is not getting forward like Alonso would be but equally he is covering at the back which is needed. However, I am disappointed with him considering he is playing for his place as he should be offering more in attacking phases.

Giroud is playing well enough but his lack of pace means they can push right up on us, if after 10-15 minutes CHO doesn't do much I would take him off for Werner.

Except I specifically said Ziyech needs to come off...

Love Ziyech but this could sadly be true. His poor physics don‘t really help him either

[OneMoSalah 8,885]

Lucky they never got a pen. Need to step it up, possession is good but need to do more with it.

I wouldn't say lucky just yet, penalty could come any minute in the 2nd half with those jammy fuckers.
