Re: Manchester United vs West Ham United match thread
Spot on Rays, I don't get why we back up so much and invite teams on. At one point a Man U player picked the ball up near his own box and strolled it through to near ours without a single challenge. We have to get stuck into them higher up not allow teams easy paths forward.Rays Rock wrote:
...... we continue to invite sustained pressure in exposed areas such as the wide positions due to the lack of protection our formation gives our "full backs". It happened all of last season, it surrenders the upper hand to any opposition that targets those weak areas.
The fact that we don't concede ALL of our goals through this area is an anomaly, the die is already cast, the opposition has our number and waits for us to break apart and chase the game !
Shocking tactical awareness from a highly paid manager !
It seems shape and tactics same as last year, Bilic too one dimensional and players already look frustrated that they can't contain or break down with those tactics & coaching. Yes it's the first game and yes they're a good side but we were clueless in all departments and it is not the players who are to blame, they need better tactics & better coaching.

But the one foul Lukaku commited on 7 Mins went unpunished?bubbles1966 wrote:Manchester United committed 19 fouls in this game - the highest by any team in the league over the weekend.
can somebody please watch this back and watch what he did off the ball around the 7 minute mark?
This would surely have been a red card

Having slept on it Cheech's battling performance was probably my most positive takeaway from that shitshow. Wasn't 100% convinced about him as a lone striker but he plays bigger than he looks. Shields it well, good jump on him, decent strength, doesn't get bullied. Gonna be fine.

They were kicking lumps out of Hernandez, Matic in particular committed several fouls that might have been yellows that weren't carded.

Re: Manchester United vs West Ham United match thread
At no point did we look like winning yesterday , and once they got the second a draw seemed beyond us .
All 4 summer signings started, by the time the reinforcements arrive three league games will have gone by , and the season effectively all about mid table mediocrity .
Slaven needs to chuck everything he has got at the league cup , everything , hold nothing back .

Re: Manchester United vs West Ham United match thread
Posted on the Bilic thread but i think more pertinent here
Some people seem to be suggesting we let in 4 because we went all 'gung-ho' at 2-0. We certainly didn't. We brought on an additional striker but hardly created a chance, or got men forward.
We let in 4 because the players don't have much fight and gave up. It is tactical / motivational weakness to let in goals in clusters like we did numerous times last season.
For the first goal, Obiang gave the ball away but we were not over committed. We still had plenty of men back but defended absymally. Defensive players really should be better prepared to defend against a counter attack - we simply cannot do it (watch our embarrassing efforts to stop the breakaway against chelsea at home last season)
For the 2nd goal, it was absymal organisation at a corner, allowing their star striker a free header
to be honest i can't remember the 3rd goal, but the 4th goal was not about over committing. Again it was about rank awful defending, organisation and effort
At no stage did we make any real effort to win that game (which would have at least excused a drubbing), but still lost 4-0!
We are still, by far, the most disorganised team in the top flight

So because we lost one game heavily to probably the second best team in the Prem away from home we can write off a top 8 finish and settle for meandering in mid table?the pink palermo wrote:At no point did we look like winning yesterday , and once they got the second a draw seemed beyond us .

It's my rational assessment based upon what I have been watching for a year or so .It's my opinion based upon some hard data relating to GD and European qualification .It's what I believe based upon how tough a league this is when you fall behind .
I estimated 4 points from the first 6 games based upon what I had seen pre season , signings made and whether I could see a discernible game plan .
It's an assessment borne out of observing the current owners M.O. in Managers contract discussions .
Slaven needs a good showing in the league cup because if he leaves it any later the owners will have already made their call on his future in January .
A mid table, negative GD 9th place finish will not see him get a new deal next year .Toss in a league cup , it might be enough .
So, nothing knee jerk, just rational thought .

Re: Manchester United vs West Ham United match thread
We back off because we are slow and the midfield doesn't have the energy to press. To press high up the pitch, the whole team has to be able to do it. As soon as we did press, Matic just put a ball over the top and they were in.Hamburger wrote:

Something is wrong, whether it's desire, fitness or concentration we are just too easy to get at. It's so simple.

three bad games in a row will affect the rest of the season, sure, but there is a reason if you play the first three games poorly, and it is likely to be that the team is a bit ****.
you don't make your season in the first three games.
anyway, onto soton, our first save-our-season game!

Its virtually impossible to judge how a season will develop when a first choice eleven hasn't taken to the pitch yet.
Are Palace destined for a relegation fight after 0-3 at home to Hudd? Chelsea resigned to 5th place at best after 2-3 v Burnley?
That said, I agree that with the squad investment (incl Carvalho and a probable Snodgrass replacement) we should expect 8th place in the Prem as I believe our squad is now superior to all but the big 6 teams plus probably Everton.
So a mediocre 9th without at least say a semi final of a Cup would be classed as failure in my book and lead to us moving on from Bilic

With respect your "rational assessment" completely fails to factor in that we have virtually half a starting eleven of new signings (incl Carvalho) compared to last season who need at least a little time to bed in, not to mention that our 2 best players IMO (Lanz and Antonio) didn't play at Man Utd.the pink palermo wrote: Nothing knee jerk about it .

Re: Manchester United vs West Ham United match thread
if pressed into finding a silver lining, it's that what problems we have were exposed in a way that can't be hand-waved by excuses about their quality and us being understrength. at 2-0 that would've been tempting to keep morale up going into next week, at 4-0 it's a shot across the bow of every player's assumed place in the XI.
i'm writing off goal difference in the hope that one of slav's suicide setups at some point this season grabs us a point which makes the whole thing moot anyway.
