I honestly think Garnacho is better on the right because it reduces the urge to just cut inside and shoot every time he touches it. He crosses more from the right and they can be decent crosses. Eriksen should have put away one of those gilt edged crosses.
Hhhhh mazaoui 6.5…. he did a realy fine job in the second half. Off and Dff.
De Ghea long ball passing was supreme but not good with the ball at his feet and short passes? Schmeichel could fucking throw a ball further and with more accuracy than Onanna! And the reason we went for Onanna was for his ability to play the ball with his feet, even to play like a sweeper Nuer esk like? You seen any of that? Goal stopping, compared to the above? Also crap. Ability to win balls in the air and stop crosses? Crap. I knew it would be. But I was kinda looking forward to seeing him play the way he used to play, is supposed to play with the ball at feet. What a huge disappointment he has been.
I didn't actually see the game, liquid breakfast at Wetherspoons, but from highlights and analysis vids Garna mostly played on the right? Been saying it for weeks, we all know his decision making isn't great, played on the left too many decisions to make but on the right side only has two maybe 3 choices to make? Hence he did better? Actually put in a couple of proper crosses in on his good foot that might of done some damage? When has he ever done that from the left?
Wasn’t it a long.ball that led to the free kick? I may be wrong though!
Dalots one big chance must have been to Maz.
Also Maz linked with Garnacho all game, not sure why that was ignored
Agree with most comments that Maz should be higher
A.O was much better at those long balls under Ten Hag right? What happened? Is this just lack of form or is it something tactical?
Mazraoui 6.5 you're kidding
Bayindir was quite good at Kadushing the ball out of play.
The more I see, the more I really like Collyer, and I want to see a lot more of him in a United shirt. He is being restricted to cameos and playing as a utility player this season (maybe due to injury), but what I'm seeing is an energetic footballer with a high footballing IQ. Hes not just a skills player but he's really comfortable on the ball and he gets about the pitch and competes physically without flying into tackles and sliding in (crowd pleasing but ineffective play).
He always contributes when he comes on and looks every bit a competent Premier league midfielder.
Collyer isn't spectacular but what he brings is much needed and desperately lacking in a lot of our squad, especially the rising stars coming through our academy. If I were Amorim I would be putting more faith in Collyer to show us he can step up a few levels and become a regular first team player because I think he has all the fundamentals and he's ready for this level.
Mazraoui was playing out of position,yet he delivered. He certainly deserves better rating. Regards.
Onana 4 for me
That pathetic save at the end again which should have been a goal was a joke
Just bring the ball in, it wasn’t hit hard, stop parrying the ball back in the danger zone!!!
5 is too high for Hojlund and I’m someone who inexplicably feels sorry for him.
I don’t get Mazraoui rating …
Garnacho is a much more balanced player on the right as he doesn’t want to continually cut inside onto his weaker left
Woeful review of the game. Mazraoui and De Ligt both absolutely crushed it imo.
Here's a sugestion, look at the percentage of progressive passes instead of the percentage of total passes. It's easier to do a pass backwards or on the same line than passing forward. There's even a stat that is the number of superprogressive passes and its accuracy.
For me the man of the match was Mazraoui, not only passing but also driving the ball forward.
I'm calm about onana's passing, as for me it says more about options than his ability.
Garnacho can make good decision when he decides he’s not going to be selfish. It’s either that or it’s harder for him to shoot playing on the right so he passes.
Okay. I’m confused. The general consensus amongst fans and fan channels is that Casemiro’s legs are gone. So how come he was able to play like he did yesterday. And not only yesterday but the game before. Legs don’t come back to players , especially at his age. So, how was he able to play that well? So, is Casemiro’s legs gone ….or not?
Fair ratings except maz, he was a 7.5 at least, probably our best player.
stats are ruining the game. if passing accuracy for midfielder is the ultimate end goal oriol romeu would the top 5 best midfielder of all time, and samir nasri was better than ronaldinho and nedved. another disgraceful stats is how many times an opposition dribble past you, if you dont commit to tackle and just run back you’d have perfect score on that.
football is like investment, the only people who have never make any investment loss probably never invest to begin with. these sterile meaningless misguided stats are ruining football and youtubers love it because it gives them a narrative to back or deny a certain agenda
Mazraoui should get 7,5 a least.
Jim Beglin was talking about Mazraoui having a Dalot-esque game and he meant it as a compliment. How Dalot still has people lauding his subpar performances is baffling.
There’s no way Onana just twats it out for a throw in every time in training so why does he do it in games ?
funny everyone praise Maz and not Dalot, he gets sh*t no matter how he do.

Struggling to see how Maz and Dalot are the same 6.5. Maz was great and technical in the final third and almost had a goal and assist. Dalot is constantly doing this danger pass across the front of our box, something maz wouldn't ever do.
Onana was very good at defending corners
I know exactly why Onana was sending it long: We played a tough match with 10 men, then a match with extra time, then a crucial european away fixture, then the arsenal match missing lots of players and 2 days less to recover than arsenal. So…the plan would have been to conserve energy first half, then go for it 2nd half. Pretty simple reaslly.
ste please make a video on the new g nev interview with jimmy
Maz was my MOTM and Dalot was gash! How they get the same rating 🤔
You give zirkzee a 7? Did you even watch the game? I was at old trafford and zirkzee did not do shit… the hole stadium wanted him out. Did not win a duel.. arsenal CBs worked him like he was a Child
What's your thoughts on perhaps automatised passes when playing out, or the idea of going long but surrounding said target with 4 or 5. It's one thing we don't do at all. It's not a physical thing (I acknowledge our it isn't a strength among the players) because we just boot it without any set shape in my opinion. I'd like to see us truly narrow in, and surround either Zirkzee, maybe the wing back. I might tweet you this because Malmo have a way of going long that I like. It does help that Thelin is a big lad up front though
Mazaroui was at least 8
Totally wrong on Maz easy 8
Pass accuracy means absolutely nothing. If you’re passing forward or trying to you’re accuracy will be less and when you’re passing sideways and backwards you’ll always get a high accuracy
Lol you are a man with obsessions. This whole new obsession you gained with Onana's kicks is officially a new one on the list. If Onana kicks and his teammates lose the aerial duel is not down to Onana. Considering that United's defenders are not great with the ball, the midfield are not the most press resistant and an Arsenal team looking to press high, the long balls were actually a good option. The free kick for Bruno's goal actually came from a long ball from Onana to which United won the second ball and Garnacho won the foul. But you are so stubborn and once you put something in your head it is difficult for you to let go
Lol im starting to believe in this one controversial comment per video for traction kind of thing because the Mazraoui rating just doesn't make any sense as most of the positive attacking play came from him and Garnacho interchange and he wasn't poor defensively either. The whole Onana's kicks as well😂. Uniteds goal likely came from a long ball from Onana. You seem like you just go to an app look at the stats and thats your go to. Take your time before the videos, watch the match properly, use your eyes, stop just looking at stats
When you concede around 70% of possession you can expect Casemiro to have a decent game, he hasn't got the legs for a possession game.
Onana did send 3-4 long balls into touch yesterday.
