Motherwell today

[Noddydog]

Think we are running the risk of being overly negative about today. We didnt play great. Few players had a poorer game than for a while. Despite that we got something out the game. Actually I was expecting us to equalise the whole time.

Positives - we tried to do the right things. Just didnt come off (in what was a horrible day to play football).
Fuchs is a definite positive
Hit the post, nearly won it with the last attack, had one/two decent penalty shouts. Actually got no break of the ball or decisions going our way. Showed our versatility with this time switching to the back 3. Their chances came from our brain farts playing out from the back.....and from losing a man from a corner.

Here we now sit 12 points clear of 12th and 11 points clear of 11th. Picking up points whilst not playing our best.

Wouldnt criticise individuals too much at all. They will all have poor games at times, that's the level we play at.

Was going to make the same point about the conditions not making for good football (though same for both teams), but definitely wouldn’t have helped crossing into the box.
But still some poor decision making and “unforced errors” with passing. We seem to find it difficult to make space for ourselves (or are too willing to make tight passes when they’re not really on). Need to improve our work off the ball in possession.

A point apiece. Daylight robbery, really. Motherwell will be kicking themselves."


Get it right up you, whoever wrote that

Well done United, two last gasp equalisers with a comfortable win in the middle

We're now only three points off the tally we were relegated with in 2016. Whatever anyone thinks of MM or his system, that's some feat in our first year up. 👏🏼👏🏼

ok a poor overall misfiring performance today but if you think back to before Jeando and McNulty came in and the gap between defence and attack, we are much better balanced. Too many players had a poor day today but that won't happen too often.

Difficult 2 games now, but you just never know. Any points at all would be a great outcome.

100% agree. Amazing really with the current squad. I'd have bitten your hand off for that at the start of the season.

Caused our selves more problems than Motherwell did due to some really poor passing , even Benji was at it , still dug in and got what could prove to be a ***** point . Fuchs is getting better with each game but please practice dead balls , our corners/ free kicks were horrendous

I really didnt think we were that bad today. At least we now seem to be trying to go forward & are trying to play some actual football. Biggest let down was the rank awful attempt at final passes & crosses. It would be interesting to know how much of wells attacks came from us giving away the ball. I also thought we didnt get too many breaks of the ball & cant say I thought we were dominated by them in any way. Thought we looked likely to score. & we did.

22 shots we allowed them. 22 shots to a Motherwell team at home. Thank f*ck their shooting is as bad as Killies.

Only 7 on target. We had half of our shots on target
