Against "small teams" who are happy to give us ball and possession, we cannot do much. Our attacks are slow and stagnant and no penetration.
This is a big issue we need to resolve asap since there are only more "small teams" than big teams in epl.
its not the case of united rising up.
we are not able to break down teams that defends and happily concedes possession to us. hence the number of draws or losing by the odd goals.
we have always been able to play such football.
it is no coincidence that we have not loss to the sides above us this season and have in fact beaten chelski and leicester on the way. these sides allows us to play that way we want to.
The situation (Joshua King and Dele Alli once the ball came to them) is hard to defend for any defenders. The only way to save it is the keeper rush out very fast and take one for the team (keeper injured) or concede penalty. But why would the keeper risk injury and lose his position in the squad?
Marcus Rashford has scored 12 goals in the last 13 games. Will he become the next Ballon Dor winner?

Alli goal very nice...Great piece of skill from him
Do they have to be exclusive? Nope but looking at the way we're playing, it seems like so.
Is it not the manager's job to set the team up taking into consideration our strengths and the opposition style, and the players to exhibit some on-pitch intelligence to understand the intentions and the opposition players as they go along? Exactly, but he's not doing a very good job at this.. the players too.
My replies in Blue.
We aren't the only one playing counter-attacking style.. others can do it while still garnering more points from supposedly weaker opponents. The way I see it the players aren't motivated to play for the manager or the club on a consistent basis.. mostly only when it's a big game, then they will turn up.
Did u watch e game?
His mistake was giving a hasty pass to McT who was under pressure in the middle of the park and had no chance in hell of keeping it, that eventually led to the goal. And not to mention the 3 United players who allowed Son to canter all the way to the 6-yard box.
I didn’t expect Jose to lose his first match so quickly. I have also never seen Spurs this poor under Poch. Harry Kane didn’t have a kick all game and Chris Smalling wasn’t even there
Fred was brilliant. I hope this is the season to kick start his career here and throw his critics back at the idiots who put him down. If you also didn’t watch the game, don’t bloody say it’s luck that the team won it. The team played really well
Ole 1 Jose 0
I also read we have won only five games this season. WTF? That is really abysmal
Yes it was a great first touch. But he had no right to pivot away so easily, if not for the inexperienced (at defending) Fred rotating himself off to the side, instead of keeping himself firmly between Alli and the goal.
There's nothing Maguire can do about it, he cannot be expected to desert his position in front of goal and Kane to guard against the possibility of other players not doing their job.

Does Rashford realise now he's better coming in from the left.
this and Pereira should be used sparingly now
