Slow and boring

I'm sorry but it's not the Manchester United way.
And the current manager should know this as he played for the club during our most successful era in history.
We dominated english football for about two decades playing a direct , attacking , in your face , up-and-at-them exciting football.
But in the post Ferguson era , we somehow have lost that DNA. That ruthless and rip your heart out attacking football is gone.
Instead , under 4 different managers in 7 years , we've now had to endure watching slow , passive , extremely boring and laboured style of play.
The players are just not good enough. The managers seem to be clueless.
The disturbing obsession with slowly playing out from deep , passing the ball sideways and backwards and midfielders not sharp enough to pick out runs by our forwards - the amount of times Rashford , James and Greenwood are left frustrated after they make a defense splitting run only for Peirera , Fred and Matic to turn around and "play it safe"
We need to get back to what we do best ... An attacking force.
My goodness how United fans are impatiently waiting for that.

Man Utd aren't choosing to play slow and boring

It's not easy trying to beat low block teams like Wolves who has no interest in attacking for 90% of the game. You have to pass sideways to open up the space.

The team looks knackered too and in need of Pogba, McT and Rashford desperately.

Hopefully this winter break will help and we come back fresh but even then it's another big game against Chelsea.

Another well thought out, unique article on the United board.

just think how well you could enunciate these words if you could for once get your lips out of Ole's backside.

Might we possibly be able to field this team at Chelsea?

DDG
AWB Lindelof Maguire Shaw/Williams
Fred McT Bruno
James/Greenwood Martial Pogba

Looks a little better than yesterday?

But knowing Ole he’ll play one of Pogba or Bruno Fernandes in a MF 2

Why have you got Pogba in there at all. Let alone as a forward.

He isn’t going to be back for the Chelsea game and I doubt McT will either.

That’s why I said possibly... trying to be optimistic about the rest of the season.
He plays better as a left sided attacking mid than he does in a deeper 2, for us anyway

That’s a surprise considering he didn’t score.
