They work hard this lot, making it difficult, but my word do we really need a rocket up our arse. We're playing it around at a snails pace just as we did last week and it's starting to wind me up.

Get Schneiderlin off (who has been poor) and move Davies next to Gana. Need Mirallas or Lookman on.
 
When everyone's been banging on about pace the last few weeks I haven't understood.

Now after this one and a half games I get it. We are using 3 at the back to utilise wing backs. Yet we aren't using them properly. It's like we're a man down from the start.
 
Well that was poor. On the plus side, outside of the one header from a corner, we have had better opportunities, but just havent put them anywhere close. Sandro needs to find his footing and start taking shots earlier. We are doing a bit too much attempting to pass it in for a team that isnt in sync yet.

Weve had about 5-6 opportunities to shoot in the box so far, from Sandro, Rooney, Keane etc, but all wasted and no where close.
 
Baines just doesn't get forward. Everyone blamed Mirallas, but he has cover with a back 3 and he refuses to make runs towards the byline. He needs to get that attacking mentality back or we will struggle like this pretty frequently.

He didn't get forward last year. I think Koenman doesn't want him getting caught forward.
 
Rooney absolutely cannot be walking back on that pitch after half time. Absolutely no spark or flair minus Sandro thus far

3/4 of the way through. If we don't concede then we're in. Not looked likely so far so all good. Need some pace and movement but I think we may be good. Stop the meltdown lads.
