You have two ancient strikers in CR7 and Cavani. One has now played 180 minutes this week and the other 135. That's not good.

I'm not too worried about Cavani as he's played next to no minutes in the last several months.
Getting outplayed again today thus far
I'm really tired of watching 2 man midfields. I honestly believe Ralf has assessed the talent and determined that there's no point in playing more than 2 because it's a case of depreciating returns with inferior talent.
But it's excruciatingly painful to watch us play direct, counter ball against teams like Wolves at home.

Yaaaawn
Phil Jones has looked good so far, happy for him
Wolves created more chances in the 1st half of this game than their last 3 combined
Bruno misses a wide open sitter from 6 yards out
He's been very good...unbelievably good when you consider this is his first start in years.
I probably just jinxed him.

Welp...can't say it's undeserved
Rashford. WTF
With the exception of a 5 minute spell after Bruno came on, we've been thoroughly and convincingly outplayed.
the complete storybook of Woodward is failure from cover to cover.

He has regressed terribly over the past 2 seasons. Staggeringly bad

The Glazers as well.

Yep.
Hopefully we never see the 4-2-2-2 formation again
It didn't take Rangnick long to identify the 16 players he trusts and then refuse to drop/change them when they are consistently underperforming.
Forget the fact that he's nearly 37...CR7 shoud not be playing every minute of every game. Full stop. I don't care if he's capable of a moment of brilliance or always pops up to score a goal. This team has way too many "moments" and it needs a defined, consistent style of play that isn't stop/start. This team has way too many players who play in moments and not enough players who are consistently involved and pulling in the same direction with the same plan.

Time to move on from Rashford.
It's time to move on from a lot of guys. Honestly, a total roster reset is probably in order.
Rashford can stay a United player till he's 45 as far as I'm concerned. There are at least 3 players currently getting significant playing time (all in midfield) who need to be upgraded. Solve that and this team can theoretically take a leap forward.
Woodward will FINALLY be leaving the club in January as Executive Vice Chairman...successor will be the CEO and has a very similar background to Woodward. Hopefully he will leave the football related aspects to the experts
it's the Bristol U Boys Club. they all went to university together. sickening. but, we have all talked about this before. these are business guys that speak business terms and that's all the Glazers seem to understand.Thunder18 said:

The number of articles coming out about United is kind of amazing. None of them good. Some of them probably accurate, some of them probably not.
But the sheer volume...I mean if you go to any UK soccer news outlet, there are multiple stories about United. Sometimes half of the stories appear to be about United. It's borderline embarrassing to be honest. I get that stories about United guarantee clicks but...should outlets really be devoting half of their stories to United? Yes, they're a big club but they're a big club that hasn't been successful in a decade. What exactly is different now than, say 2016...or 2018?

Did I miss something? Is Ronaldo injured? Didn't even make the bench tonight. Rumors he's unhappy and his complete and total absence tonight won't exactly quell those rumors.
FWIW, I have absolutely no problem with him not playing and would have absolutely no problem with him moving on, if it came to it.

The issue with Ronaldo is he blocks Greenwood from getting any PT and that's not a good thing.
100% agree. Was my primary concern when we signed him. I get why they did but it was a risk from day 1. And it hasn't exactly panned out.
According to Ralf, Ronaldo is out due to "minor problems" and that they both agreed it best for him not to play. Make of that what you will. Kind of hope that United play just amazing, exquisite football without him buuut...unlikely.

Fred with a beautiful ball in to McT. Goal.
Fantastic ball from Fred...but he's made two mistakes that almost led to an equalizer. But he's also winning the ball back well.
That guy is forever an enigma.

First 10 minutes or so were pretty good. Villa have been the better team since. They should have tied it up by now.

Agreed. One thing that people have noticed is that when Fred is receiving the ball and distributing it quickly he is a great player. When he receives the ball and tries to hold on to it, he's a poor player.
Did they say Dalot will need stitches? I missed what happened.
Acres of space on the wings for Villa to bring the ball forward.
Not sure but I'm surprised he didn't come off given how much he seemed to be bleeding.
