Zirkzee on please

Get another man in midfield. Ugarte has lead in his boots but is useful and we've nobody to replace him. Mainoo isn't that kind of player.

Theyre gonna continue to target Mazraoui over the top and down the channels.

Need to get Amad more in the game too.

Mr.Crinklewood · 26-01-2025 07:50PM

Zirkzee the pretty obvious first sub

Headshot · 26-01-2025 07:51PM

What an abomination of a 1st half

Fulham are lively but aren't playing well, quite sloppy too... yet we're making them look very good.

Mitch Connor · 26-01-2025 07:51PM

Hojlunds inability to trap the ball is a clear issue.

So your main tactic seeming to be 'lump it forward towards hojlund' feels like a breakdown in thought process.

Going long just comes back, so we need to actually try to builld possession thorugh the phases rather than seemingly try to play off the second balls.

secman · 26-01-2025 07:54PM

We've spunked some amount of money on bang average, at best ,players. And a fair bit of that after Raninck "open heart surgery" comment. We seem to be spiralling down no matter what we do , totally demoralising ☹️

26-01-2025 07:55PM

Højlund being involved in the build up at all is the problem. A player like him you just have to have as a poacher because he's not doing anything else. Amad and Garnacho playing more like wingers when they are supposed to be the main creators through the middle. A vast gap that means Højlund drops into positions he's useless in.

DellyBelly · 26-01-2025 07:55PM

Maybe there's a player in there (I can't see it though) but the fact Hojlund cost over 70 million just shows everything that's wrong with the club.

Not sure about that either given he has 21 goals in 80 career games!

DellyBelly · 26-01-2025 08:04PM

Come on Rasmus....show us you've got something about you...please

Mantis Toboggan · 26-01-2025 08:04PM

Surprised he hasn't hooked Rasmus

I give him 10 mins max, regardless how he does

Yes but his skills are speed and shooting. Good at dribbling facing the goal at times.

He could be effective if he was told to just stay on the shoulder and make runs between defenders. Seems to think he's more than that though.

Caustic · 26-01-2025 08:13PM

Onana has taking a few poor enough touches tonight but no one near him seems like he isn't there fully tonight either hopefully we can avoid a mistake

fatherted1969 · 26-01-2025 08:14PM

We're such a poor team

Quandary · 26-01-2025 08:14PM

Rasmus is having a nightmare. He hasn't had a great season at all but in this game he really has been shocking

y0ssar1an22 · 26-01-2025 08:15PM

off for zirkzee

26-01-2025 08:17PM

Castagne allowed slide in time and again with no punishment.

DataDude · 26-01-2025 08:18PM

6 passes completed. 12 possessions lost. 6 aerial duals. 6 aerial duals lost. Historically bad stuff.

y0ssar1an22 · 26-01-2025 08:18PM

brainless and potentially very dangerous by martinez

mcburns07 · 26-01-2025 08:19PM

How did he get away with that, absolute shocker of a tackle

Tandey · 26-01-2025 08:19PM

Madness from Martinez. That's all we need.

Caustic · 26-01-2025 08:20PM

Jesus Martinez again. Lucky boy.

Thats a lad who doesn't trust his body to go hard into a 50/50

Bleating Lamb · 26-01-2025 08:20PM

Christ on a bike this game would put you to sleep!🥱

Unfortunately Utd badly need to go on a run of some wins and draws because no decent player is going to be tempted into joining the Club in the Summer if Utd end the Season in the bottom half.

Seattle · 26-01-2025 08:23PM

Martinez did that and got away with it in a game earlier in the season too, Brighton away maybe.

He's very lucky that Traore didn't make more of it.

Mantis Toboggan · 26-01-2025 08:23PM

Don't think I'll ever like 3 at the back with wing backs

Headshot · 26-01-2025 08:24PM

God that was awful by Bruno

Headshot · 26-01-2025 08:25PM

God VDS what a keeper and puts what we currently have to shame

Mantis Toboggan · 26-01-2025 08:25PM

Time to scrap the defensive wingers?

Caustic · 26-01-2025 08:25PM

Brunos passing been shite this game ain't helping
