Manchester United v AFC Bournemouth

Defending is woeful. Rashford totally unmarked again. We make these teams look brilliant. Mings and Simpson must think they are awful not to get in this defence.

Oh do cheer up for fucksake.

It's a makeshift defence and midfield, and going forward they are better than us.

However, we could still get something out of this, their defence has no excuse for looking so poor.
 
Officially our worst Xmas period since 1982 when we conceded 9 to Lincoln, then 5 to Orient.

Only 8 so far, in 1 1/2 games..so still feeling positive:grinning::grinning::grinning::grinning:

Nonsense, that season we got a point at home to Reading in a 1-1 draw then beat Brentford on New Years day 4-3.
 
Problem with saving players for Watford....if we lose this 5-1 then the ones that did play have their confidence further dented.....Watford are playing well and want revenge...so many angles to look at!
 
Daniels, Ibe, Stanislas all playing in their non favoured positions due to injuries in the squad. That weakens central midfield, the left flank, the right flank and central defence. So unsurprisingly we might look a bit disjointed.

What I’m confused with is why Brooks only tracks his man to about 15 yards from goal and stops each time.

He’s not stopping Pogba regardless, but he does it every time including the third. It’s a bit odd.

Great assist though so not knocking him.

I think you will find the Factmeister is correct. 18th Dec 9-0 Lincoln, 26th Dec 5-0 Orient. A 1-1 draw in between with Reading

Yes I was at that Lincoln game. They scored three whilst I was walking out of the ground.
 
It’s probably too late. It MIGHT not be.

But it shows that they’re not all that, if we had been set up correctly with the right players playing. They look vulnerable from corners, and we have a 6”5 UNIT on the bench, as well as a young CB who always looks dangerous from set pieces. Stupid. And not playing Lerma is ridiculous. I don’t care if it’s “looking ahead to Watford”. **** Watford. I thought Eddie took every game as it comes? Choosing to leave out your best player for a winger to try and cut corners goes against everything we usually stand for.
This .
 
I have just had a giggle at some clown on COWS who has stated that Ake has given us a lifline by scoring before half time.

The gimp probably has not realised that we had already conceded three and it is in fact ENDEX game over!

The delusional world of the Rose Tinted Spectacle Brigade!
Gimp,your choice of word isn't very good.You really are a fool
