We lost this game as soon as he announced the line up , Richi and Spence are a complete waste of time . We move the ball so slowly and Xavi looks shit cos he has zero movement ahead of himself and as for their goal , less said the better . These home performances will get him the sack sooner rather than later . That half is on him . I expect to subs minimum at half time , not waiting till they get their 2nd .

Another disgusting half of anti football
Once we win at home in the PL it will be fine, but....
I did say today would be a hard game. It's not just about our opponents, whoever they are but beating ourselves.
Fear has seeped into the players, and it is literally paralysing them at home.
The longer it continues, the harder to overcome.
Frank has to find a solution or he will be in trouble.

Make that top 10
Kudus makes us even more stodgy and fragmented in attack. Just holds onto the ball until he gets crowded out. He’s just an out ball that’s it. He’s not making a difference to this team. We need better on both wings. And central midfield
Physicality when Richy spends half the time eating the pitch lol
Hopefully we see Udogie in the 2nd half, Spence is killing a lot of our attacks.
Xavi been decent , showing he has a brain at least .
Other than that pretty desperate stuff

Frank confuses me at times tbh. Against PSG he went 3 at the back to combat their attacking threat yet today he didn't think it was a good idea to go 3 at the back despite the personnel missing and the atrocious performance Vs Chavski.
UDogie starting at left wing back and Johnson feeding off Muanis knock downs up top was the way to go for this one.

This is why Bentancur has been getting a bad rap.
He's not great, but it hasn't been his fault in there.
You put Bergvall there and it brings its own problems.
There is no solution for our midfield other than quality additions.
That's the issue.
Sarr is nowhere near the levels some think he is. Bentancur twice the player he is. If people can’t see that then they are kidding themselves on.
The team is so unbalanced because Spence is a poor left back going forward. We have no width on the left.
Get that waste of space Richarlison off with Spence and get Udogie and Odobert on and we can still win this.
Get Johnson off because he’s nothing and just hope tel can produce. Sarr off and Bentancur to get legs,control and composure.
Xavi looks in the mood and Muani works like fuck and is the only front player who springs to when closing g down.
Frank is starting to get on my tits and the line up shows that he’s not going to work here if he thinks starting the game with a left back who’s not a left back but has a better left back on the bench and no width on the same side.
Man Utd are the worst team we’ve played at home this year and caused them zero problems.

Right
Frank - time to earn your money
Sticking with this team and this formation just means seeing out a loss as there's been nothing in that half time suggest anything is working.
If he does nothing till 65 minutes we'll most probably go 2 nil down based on that half and lose the game.
Richarlison and Spence off - both having poor games and not working
Udoggie and Odobert on ...we have to get our forwards in the game

Funny how our squad always become average when we trail or lose. Then in some games we calling for the Palhinha-Bentancur pivot to be abolished and play Sarr - today Frank did that and still we complained again, because the pattern is the same. We are boring.
The system is shit. Coaching is meh. Gameplan is non-existent. If Frank wants to remain, he has to learn, quick enough. But with almost 20 competitive games with us, he doesn't look like he's capable to me honestly. xG stats are embarrassing, and we are AT HOME.

You answered your question
Because they spend hundreds of pounds going to matches wanting to see the team do well while you are an arm chair supporter sitting nice and warm on your bum while their arses are freezing in the cold watching cr@p.
An injured Kudus would do better than richarlison
This was quite disjointed so it's hard to tell, but I guess what Frank had in mind in possession was something like a 3-3-2-2, with:
Udogie for Spence to get that left side going somewhat, as it's completely idle at the moment
Tel for Richarlison, or Johnson moving up front with Odobert replacing Richarlison instead
More long balls to bypass that empty area in the middle of the pitch altogether, since we're playing 2 up front unlike usual
- Richarlison drifting towards RKM to make it two up front
- Spence stepping up to fill that vacated area on the left
- Porro staying back almost all the time to make it a back 3
- Simons dropping slightly deeper to make the midfield a flat 3
Porro-Romero-VdV
Simons-Palhinha-Sarr
Johnson-------------------------Spence
RKM-Richarlison
Possible changes:Simons-Palhinha-Sarr
Johnson-------------------------Spence
RKM-Richarlison

Rather have Veliz back tbh.
I can't see how Frank continues to select him, he's simply not a PL player.
whatever you do, get Richy off the fucking pitch
Is there something in Richarlison contract that forces us to start him? or pick him in EVERY match?????
Please please please, someone ask Frank what he sees in Richarlison to keep picking him?
I mean, after all these games, what are getting from him to even use him out of position? It seems Frank is willing tp pick him as GK even just to have him in...
