Match Thread v Man Utd

[Van wink 2,994]

Well done lads, good first half. 

[NFN FC 1,123]

Don't think Pukki is the problem, he needs to be fed better

[Foxy2600 300]

Watch Farke make no changes - if we lose this 1/4 final, he should resign tomorrow- his game management is crap! We have a19 year old that’s hungry.

Thanks for that tactical analysis Mr Expert

Decent half and look relatively solid.

Id get Idah on for Pukki as he is just lacking in any confidence.

id also tell Buendia he’s got 10 minutes to impress me or I’m taking him off and putting Hernandez outwide with cantwell in middle

[Ramrod 258]

I thought Idah looked sharp and hungry against Everton.

Cantwell our best player?

Not a bad game, but naively gave away a needless freekick in a dangerous position and over hit an easy through ball to Pukki. 

 

 

[Ramrod 258]

I feel that all season we have missed a striker who can hold the ball. 

[Tumbleweed 106]

Yep, Idah for Pukki and Onel for Emi might just be what is needed.

[KiwiScot 1,443]

Making good use of Man Utd not turning up, but mistakes costing us as usual. McLean trying to shoot when he had people to pass to. Criminal.

[Van wink 2,994]

First 15 of second half has been a nightmare for us this season, main focus to get o 60 at 0-0

[Alex Moss 2,165]

One thing is very evident. Pukki is clearly absolutely devoid of confidence, he looks an absolute shadow of the striker he can be. You get the feeling one goal is all he’d need to start getting back in amongst the goals again. So frustrating to see, and I’m frustrated for him as much as anything! Come on mate, you’re way better than this, have some self belief 👍

[Tumbleweed 106]

Rupp doing very well IMO.

[CANARYKING 637]

Pogba, Martial and Rashford to come, start praying

Perhaps we should all come to one of your games and tell you where you’re going wrong

[king canary 7,599]

A decent 45 let down by some poor execution,  particularly that pass from Cantwell.

I think Farke deserves a lot of credit for this performance so far- there is a clear gameplan, we're pressing and defending as a unit and countering with pace.

[Il Pirata 249]

Pukki looks off the boil, but he hasn't had decent service. Lewis needs to get the ball in the box more instead of cutting back inside. Buendia starting to wave his hands about.... on the positive side Rupp, Tettey and Klose have been good and kept a solidity to the side. 

In general though, we lack composure and our final ball is too hurried. I fear we look good because United look poor, and can see that changing after the break.

I must have missed your tenure as England manager

[Bill 1,788]

75 mins to go

and then it's ours .....................through penalties

[The Real Buh 3,432]

Every second that ticks by man united get closer to losing on penalties

Tick Tock

[keelansgrandad 6,679]

45 minutes left to get something out of the season. In normal times, a trip to Wembley, albeit a semi, would be great for the fans.

I would bring on Hernandez straight away. United are being cocky knowing they can bring on an army of top players when they want. I want them to be pegged back more. 

So take Rupp off, even though he has done nothing wrong, Buendia in the middle and tell Pukki he has 15 minutes to improve or he is off.

Thanks for that, whatever it was.

How many coaches would tell a player to cross into the box with one player in it and he has three men marking him? Crossing isn't Lewis best attribute but I can see why he has to stop and turn.

[Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,800]

I really don't want to be Me Glass-Half-Empty, but we've played well without anything to show for it and Man Utd will surely bring on the big guns soon. I'm apprehensive.

When did Lineker become such a miserable annoying t***? 
 

We get it, you think the games carp, but do you need to say it every other sentence?

[The Real Buh 3,432]

Can we switch off Gary linekar

the guy is an absolute melt.

So you’d do what exactly? Shake it up or plod on until 78 minutes and make 3 subs .
