Another dodgy performance from United. At least it wasn’t a loss!
Average of 2 goals conceded a game so far, won’t get far doing that.
So many of the players are bang average. No idea how Dalot keeps getting picked, shocking. Nice cross from Shaw. But both full backs drive me made, they never want to rush out to a winger and stop a shot or cross. And with how our back line and keeper deal with crossed they should maybe try and stop a few.
Playing with no striker and instea Cunha floating about doesn’t work. Cunha is usually everywhere apart from inside the box.
The keeper wasn’t great today. Clueless as to why he punched that easy shot away instead of catching. I was never on the band wagon of him being the answer in goal. He gets away with a lot due to being fairly cheap and not a complete idiot like Onana.
But if you’re honest, he’s not a top level keeper. You rarely win anything without a world class keeper, and he’s not that. Maybe he will be in 4-5 years, but not yet. However, he’s not helped by the headless chickens playing right in front of him. Conceding 18 shots to Everton is a disgrace.
No kind of any plan. Slow, slow and slow just like all the other games. The only time you see any kind of urgency from United is when they are behind, which we are likely to see quite often this season based on the first 3 games.
They need to get it together, and soon, or some of the better teams will have a field day against them.
Fingers crossed they put in a better performance in mid week.

Was screaming all game for fullbacks to overlap. Shaw did a handful of times, and got a really good assist. Dalot is pure s****! Didn't do anything all game, as usual. Poor management after taking the lead twice, did not take control and kill the game at all. Cunha was poor today too. Very disappointing result.

You can add how the full backs don't make overlapping runs to support our wingers.
I think 4-3-3 would work better. One thing that is concerning is a lack of plan B. It's like watching Southgate's England team today.

That's another game where we have failed to hold on to a lead... It's happened a lot over the past few years, so it's no surprise. The common theme is that back 4! Just no composure, and they just look panicked at the end of games.
But, hey ho, the board don't think it's a necessity to invest in that area. Lots of work to do. PS Sesko has to start now, Cunha doesn't work upfront.

Conceding 2 a game is a big worry for the season ahead. We're so poor out of possession. Teams harass us, get in our face... we just stand off relative to the effort the opposition show.
Subs were poor, just hold onto possession rather than defending deep and lumping it long.
Thought the whole point of our midfield rebuild was so we could control games with press resistant pass masters. So far 3 dross teams have scored 2 against us, and we've failed to control the game. Ipswich was a deceiving scoreline.
City up next, which I'm really not looking forward to.

Lose to City next week, and we are 8 points off the pace after 4 games, but it's ok. Shappy says we are over reacting.

The results and performances need to get better. And soon. Watching the Arsenal and Chelsea game, when United play these, it could be a cricket score.
06 Sep 2026 17:21:52
Agree, Fallguy, I'm genuinely worried about playing the big teams.
06 Sep 2026 17:32:48
Well, we won at the Emirates last season, so not sure why it would be a cricket score this season. This Arsenal game is manic because there was an early goal and Chelsea are good this season. We will get better. We were pretty unlucky today.

Maybe because we look worse than last season so far, GDS2.

Damn, now we are blaming Lammens. ? This fan base gives me the ick.
