We used to be good when we were ahead but even thats starting to slip this season. I just can’t see how it gets any better. We need new ideas. We’ve had new signings and that back 4 today was made up of 3 of them and still the same mistakes were happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 19 February 2023 Share Posted 19 February 2023 Had to take Mendy off with being on a booking and Attwell desperate to give soft fouls. Dewsbury-Hall was an odd move. Think the set up was correct but we struggled after half time, not helped by Mendy being restricted. Has to do something about Ward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to give the back four some time to gel, they have played 3 games together. Edited 19 February 2023 by coolhandfox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Madders clearly has a knock, they said on commentary he’s been limited his training in the week but played all 90 minutes. Tete was at least putting himself about but the pre-determined substitution of Tete for Praet also wound me up. They felt like they were all pre-determined subs which is my biggest criticism of Rodgers, he fails to be able to adapt and deal with what is actually happening on the pitch.

You have a point but even some of the basics were missing today. Way too open and were caught out quite a few times. Any other day it could have been 6 or 7 but it seemed like they were trying to tee Weghorst up towards the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely to open, but when you have a midfield letting players run by them a back 4 is going to look poor often overload with Man U having man square.

And thats where the blame lays squarely on the manager for bringing on our slowest player in Tielemans and laziest in Soumare. Should have brought Ndidi on to break things up and disrupt Utds play and hopefully counter our way back into the game. Instead he just gave them a free pass to carry on what they were doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More tripe. If you were a Leicester fan you'd be defending us from the awful officiating instead of slagging off the manager. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand him bring on a more offensive pairing when you are 2-0, don't think Ndidi would have made much difference. Once they went ahead we never looked like scoring.

StanSP Posted 19 February 2023 Share Posted 19 February 2023 Tielemans coming on was fine at the time. Soumare, not so much. Don't get why KDH couldn't have stayed on. Not sure what Soumare could have offered to change the game. At least Youri has some game-changing abilities. Just a shame he didn't look like showing them today. His slowness to react to what Ten Hag did at half-time transferred its way onto the pitch. It's like a different side came out 2nd half. We looked leggy, thoughtless, slow, lazy to name just a few. Several other traits you should never want to see in a team. Let alone away at Old Trafford where it's tough generally. Shame the 2nd half was like that. As if we carried on from the first half, even at 1-0 down, we realistically could have got something out of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ithuriel Posted 19 February 2023 Share Posted 19 February 2023 (edited) Kinda reminds me most games of Neo from the Matrix, when the bullets are going at him and he lets everyone of them pass him wrong thread, damn you Ward Edited 19 February 2023 by ithuriel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ndidi would have at least stuck a foot in and maybe got us up the pitch a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickyblueeyes Posted 19 February 2023 Share Posted 19 February 2023 We’ve not reacted well to collapses this season and gone on pretty dismal runs. I don’t think we can afford another. The manager needs to ensure that this game is forgotten and we go again. Lots of positives from that 20 minute first half spell. Hopefully some time spent with the defence on organisation and take it from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Bingles Posted 19 February 2023 Share Posted 19 February 2023 Are we all Brendan out again after that? 🧐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee7 Posted 19 February 2023 Share Posted 19 February 2023 I'm normally one of the first to slate Brendan but today he got the tactics spot on especially in the first half. We could and should have been 2-0 up. We were well and truly dominating the game at that point too. Even in the second half he made the correct subs. He was just unfortunate that Soumare came on and decided to trot around the pitch. i think we could of played 180 minutes today and not beat De Gea.

ajthefox Posted 19 February 2023 Share Posted 19 February 2023 He got the set up right today, can't fault that. Subs were ineffectual. The strange thing is that we still seem to have this habit of starting slowly. Second half we just didn't turn up and before we knew it the game was gone.

SouthStandUpperTier Posted 19 February 2023 Share Posted 19 February 2023 No PL manager has overseen more defeats than BR this season (13). Just stating a simple fact so no need to jump on my back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koke Posted 19 February 2023 Share Posted 19 February 2023 (edited) He's up against the form team In the league. United are third and for good reason too as they've been on it lately. Rashford turns everything he touches into gold. We have some mediocre defenders and a crap GK. Our team is being carried by our attack. Rodgers isn't the man but today he couldn't do much else. He had us playing in the first half. Edited 19 February 2023 by Koke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
