Manchester United- v - Leeds United *** Matchday Thread ***

[bathlad61]

Wonder if MB cursing that he found his pen yesterday!!

So so disappointed. Especially against the scum. Bielsa needs to go to a school for slow learners.
Are we to take it, that they are going to turn us over by 4 goals every season.

Truly grateful for all that Bielsa has done for us and he will go down a Legend when his time with us comes to an end but ffs he made some poor choices with that team today and I am not having it that Roberts and Costa are Premier quality.

Hearing there was some nasties taking place at Old Trufford today as well between scum and Leed fans....hope Andy behaved himself

[Monaco_Totty]

Maybe brutal but as other have said,
The skill limitations of the likes of Cooper, Ayling, Klich, Costa, Roberts & even Bamford is decisive - anything less than 100% from them & we'll begin to show weaknesses.
To many individuals today not connecting as a team - obviously.

Brutal truth is we're still relying on players who aren't necessarily comfortable at this level and it shows at times & today was one of those times sadly.
No doubt the boardroom will have the answers as to why we get exposed but the players we possibly wanted didn't happen so it's Everton next up.
Frustrating for sure & am sorry for those at the game.

Would have rather seen us battle for a draw like we did at Elland Road than go toe to toe and get hammered again.

That team today look so poor apart from little spells in the 1st half.

To say Bielsa is a so called master of the game he royally fecked it up today!

Not happy at all with todays shambles

You know what though Rev at ER last season we put Philips on the **** Fernandwez and he didn't get a kick or a goal - scored fioe in the two games at Old Trafford. I think tactically we've fecked up at Old Trafford both times.

I love Bielsa, and he has got us into a good position, but his stubborness has cost us today - and not for the first time, can't for the life of me believe Phiips wasn't up to it today or couldn't have nulified Fernandez,

We just never threatened them either.

Hopefully this doesn't **** up the confidence, we all know how the crowd can lift us at ER - or sometimes work against us

come on Everton next up - and scum beat them 4 - 0 last week....

We certainly look weak when we don't have KP in the side Tich.

Painful one today...in more ways than one.

Need a win against the Toffees now.

Tyler Roberts and Helder Costa....you know you've Donald Ducked it when you have to bring them on.

So they bring on Sancho and Martial and we counter with Useless Costa and Donkey Roberts.

I honestly almost cried when I saw Costa waiting to 'join the fray' - unsurprisingly, he was as ineffective and lightweight as ever. Why the duck didn't we sell him; or just give him away; or even pay someone to take him?

As others have said, what's the point in having one of the best holding midfielders in the country and not playing him. If he was fit enough to be on the bench I assume he was fit enough to play?

Oh well, onwards and upwards.

[BelfastAndy]

They gave up. Heads dropped. Many were a yard off pace. Raphinha wasn't on form. Koch and Struijk were slow. Hectic - pretty much all around. Maybe Harrison was the positive. Passing and movement wasn't happening

A hangover from a poor pre-season Andy?

You may have a point, but I would never put Costa and Roberts in the same category as Klich, Ayling and Bamford.
