maqroll Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 We still look like we will score whenever we're in their end. We can win this. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One For The Road Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 If we are to somehow nick a point from this game, we will need to improve our crossing and take advantage of set pieces. We've been dreadful at both so far. Can't see anything but a heavy loss and have no confidence in anyone on that bench to change that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Don’t think we can complain too much about losing, despite the nature of the goal. They have created a lot more than us, I’d really like to see Jack our wide for the 2nd but can’t see Smith making an early adjustment. We know we have goals in us though, game isnt over yet.

We must look to unlock space like United did and either move it quicker or overlap and offer some pretty great passing to unlock defence. wan sick bag cannot go forward like thag with Grealish on the left Grealish, Traore and El Ghazi all guilty of slowing play down when we are breaking - very fristrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted January 1, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 1, 2021 Just because they scored doesn’t mean we should forget we were getting on top and generally playing okay. Traore has been really poor and his free kick gave away the possession for the goal. Watkins has been poor in my view and once again a little naive again, he needs to be more aggressive and not wait on the ball reaching him so often. As for Mings, he had a good 45 but his mistake cost the goal. People can say he is being scapegoated if they want but as far as I’m concerned that goals on him and I think Hause makes that header. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Mings has been fine on the whole. It’s the front line that is worrying me more. Ollie looks fed up and out of confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 When the ball goes wide....Ollie has to make better positions and attack the space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 That Traore free kick just before they scored was absolutely criminal. Seriously poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully deserved lead. Absolutely, it’s the best I’ve seen United play since Leeds. They’ve upped their game and we went down a level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're cursed against these bastards. Playing alright generally. Ridiculous free kick from Traore when Luiz was completely unmarked for the roll back on the edge of the box. We know he can shoot. No shame in how we're playing though, this was always gonna be a bit of a free hit. I've said it so many times, I feel like I've spent the rest of my life paying for the 94 Cup win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Were comfortably in this game and have dominated large parts of it. Switched off for the goal but looked good defensively, luis and mcginn running large parts of the midfield. Need to do more to test them at the back. Dean will give them a boost and we'll come out strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see on numerous occasions he checks for where Martial is and then still let's him drift in front of him when the cross is actually being delivered, definitely could have done better.

I think that's causing the angst. We shouldn't be losing but we are. And the manner of the goal makes it worse.... Traore's free kick set them up for a counter attack. It was so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
