Sanchez is not living up to the hype, although most of the hype was created by the simple and deluded amongst us, like Robb.

We miss Herrera tbh, Hazard has been getting so much joy down the wing
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You've done nothing but slate him all season... and rightfully so
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He’s been crap but he wouldn’t be letting Hazard run off scot free. Plus he started very well against Sevilla

Eden Hazard has created more chances in the first half (3) than every other Man United player combined (2).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He's head and shoulders above anything we have as a footballer
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He’s a midget

Their threat is down the wings. Martial and Sanchez aren’t tracking runners.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sanchez has a few times but I think martial has a remit to stay forward
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah I think the plan is for those two and Lukaku to exploit the space when their full backs are drawn out.

The problem is, as I mentioned about 20 minutes ago, that the defence and midfield aren’t pressuring the ball enough and moving it quickly.

By the time we win it back we are near our box and the midfield and attack are too far away from each other as well.

I don't get how people think matic has played well? someone explain cause how i see it is. hes slowing our play massively. can't get the ball out of his feet. misplaced 4-5 passes. committing so many fouls. but people are saying hes playing well i don't understand? I get hes there to break up play. hes lucky not to be on a yellow.

united need to pressure the ball and use our creative players better, and teach Valencia how to cross a ball...oh wait to late for that!

The performance last April and now are complete polar opposites

Agree

Surprised we have two players forward in this game. Usually we just have lukaku up top and ddg hoofing it to him

To be fair to the lump he does win those but it goes to no one on our side

Chelsea surrounding the ref at HT.

Should see them given even more of the 50/50 calls.

You do know we are playing Chelsea, right? A very good team... He has been a constant thorn in their side and really stopped them getting into am attacking flow for most of the game. Would you prefer him to be risking a yellow card or pulling out of tackles?

United have done all the years.

——
Won’t happen, the pressure bit anyway, we’re about 70% into the season it’s not going to change now, we just wait until the opponents lose the ball, you would think we would have energy to spare latter in the game but no

I think matic has played well personally

Matic has not played well. The only midfielder for United who has looked good is Pogba.

thought players weren't allowed to surround the ref... each should get a yellow card!

Newcastle?

Pointless being a thorn in their side and breaking play up, when as soon as you’re pressured you give it then back.

We're off!

Come on the reds!

Nah, he hasn’t had a particularly good half but wasn’t awful either.

He kept the ball well for most part... one or two bad passes get remembered though, i guess
