No movement on the ball, the wingers can't drible, no through balls, no one-on-ones, just pass, pass, pass and deliver a bad cross
Crossing has been poor as has our decision making once we get into good positions. Lost the ball a few times in our half as well. Some good performances though from MADDs (best player by a mile), berg and Spence. How Ange doesn’t rate MADDs as much as the others is beyond me.
 
Pleased with Bergvall that half. Passed when he should have, ran with the ball when he needed to and made himself available throughout. Good few tackles put in as well. No Prima Donna about him, or trying too hard for the spectacular. Just solid clever play.
 
I think there are more than enough games to really conclude Ange is not fully using the best of Son and Kulu in these two positions they are starting.

How about just drop them, Ange?
Isn't it just that they're playing bad, rather than Ange not using them properly. Sonny has been like this most of the season, Kulu has been very good in spells. Agree with the conclusion though.

Maybe BJ will come on around 60 if he's fit enough to give some more pace.
 
Good opening 20mins from us, ironically United should have scored before we actually did.

Since then it’s very much been two bottom half teams trying to find some quality.

We’ve created some good situations but final ball lacking, and most attacks have ended with Son.

Bergvall has been our best player for me, but, I am worried at the ease at which United have picked us apart at times, far too easy.

We look a bit like we once saw a picture of some defending happening but we’ve never actually gone and learnt it ourselves, it’s too chaotic and people just chasing the ball.

Danso I still think looks pretty good.

We need another goal or two, and we should win this because I think we have by far the better team and squad. Whether we do or not is down to us sorting ourselves out for that final bit of quality in the second half.
 
Spence has been very good. Bergval is a much better player when madders plays. Madders easily the best player on the pitch. We have been so much better than them but we do give teams great chances.

Good performance so far and get the second and it’s all over.
