They've just lost to Colchester on penalties. At home. They played their second string. Still funny. Can’t wait for the tweets |

**A bit of an overreaction and harsh on Ole but the writer isn't necessarily wrong. www.sportingnews.com/ca/soccer/news/man-utds-1990s-tactics-brutally-exposed-by-palace-more-lessons-from-the-premier-league-weekend/1oos8dkw51l8j1rbxowdcphccb1) Palace reveal the blueprint to take down Solskjaer's Man Utd You could see the problem coming a mile off. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is placing tactical emphasis on speed and directness to emulate the kind of attacking waves that characterised Manchester United when he played under Sir Alex Ferguson in the 1990s, even though the modern game of attack-versus-defence, of possession-versus-counter, is tactically completely different to the first great Fergie era. Crystal Palace inevitably sat in a deep formation to limit the space in behind, which, inevitably, limited Marcus Rashford, Daniel James, and Anthony Martial. This was a game for a craftier playmaker, and yet not only was Juan Mata given just five minutes, but Paul Pogba sat deep alongside Scott McTominay. Pogba should have been freed to play higher up the pitch, rather than attempt to dictate the tempo from in front of Palace's 4-5-1. Overall United simply lacked urgency, failing to realise that a fast start is crucial against Palace's frustration tactics; Jesse Lingard was anonymous, and the Rashford-Martial link just does not work when there is no space in the left half-space - where Rashford had chiefly played against Wolves. Things improved slightly when Rashford was moved into the number 10 role, but not enough, and Palace deserved their win, creating, in the process, a template for the rest of the bottom-half clubs to follow.
more like the bottom 14, considering i dont see us better than 6th. |

Paddy Power are taking the piss out of us. Twitter really does highlight the fact that the majority of people are idiots, no matter what the subject! |
