IrishVilla10 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Really missing kamara. Wish Buendia would stop holding the ball for so long and move the ball faster. How has Casemiro not been booked, he’s been the difference for United he’s stopping everything 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Bottom line is our players look tired and dare I say it a bit intimated in this game. Casemiro for example put in a couple of hard challenges on our players and we’ve backed off him. No one wants to press him when he has it either. The pitch has been awful for us as well(don’t want that to be an excuse though). We need something different, JJ hasn’t been good. Buendia the same and Young looks his age in this game. They can be had but we need to come out with the same energy we had vs Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, unfortunately he just doesn’t have the athleticism we need.. eventually the injury to Kamara was going to effect us.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We crumbled under their intense press, but were able to get two chances. in this game we have to take them. Still in it very much. He wouldn’t get away with so much of the ref actually booked him though 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Poor first half…not because we are losing but so many of our passes are going astray. Lucky to only be 1-0 down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 United the far better team. We need Maguire to come on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LxYoungAVFC Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 United are pressing very well and winning most second balls. Look much fitter than our players. Squad depth is a big issue for us this late in the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheAuthority Posted April 30, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2023 Cannot believe Casemiro was not booked for taking out Ramsay's standing leg. They haven't even shown a replay - might of even been a red. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Following on from Fulham we just look jaded. Every pass is a half a second too slow. We can't get near Ollie. We need to stay in the game and have some inspiration from someone because this is **** tough now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Frustrating game with the weather. Our gameplan is hurt the worst from it, whereas United are just pinging long balls over the top trying to beat the offside trap and eventually it worked out for them. We're slipping and sliding all over the pitch and players are overhitting touches or pulling up short because of the rain. No idea how Casimero hasn't gotten at least a yellow for that tackle through the back of JJ that didn't get any of the ball, but looks like this will be another game where the ref doesn't card anyone and the foul count will climb up to almost 30 against us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casemiro not being booked and probably giving away a foul deep in our half are the only real mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High line to catch them offside. It works alot, but the one time the whole backline aren't on it it's dangerous and opposition attackers have free reign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunther Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Pitch looks an absolute state. Wouldn't be surprised to see a bad injury here. High line hasn't worked at all. Be surprised if we play the same way second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
