Defence

Great back 4 to start the season.

Criminal planning.

What planning!!!!

 

[CyloCybin]

Selles will get the brunt of this, but it's whomever allowed us to start the season with these defensive "options', at fault

 

[T-Blade]

Fullbacks just as much as the centre backs to blame for this. Burrows is starting to worry me.

These COH Clowns make the Prince look like Roman Abramovich.

Seriki has the defensive acumen of Stevie wonder. All good going forwards.. defensively inept.

Is this the beginning of the heath ,atkins days !.

Selles should never have been appointed and COH should sell up already absolute fraudsters, allowing this situation to arise ir is like going back to the bad days when we had no money.

 

[Colombia Blade]

Genius of Selles to force the board to get their chequebook out!

 

[Bladedog]

Don't worry...we,ve got a list.

Owners.

Hopefully this has woke them up.

Far too many players on the pitch who are essentially attacking players. Nobody whose first thought is "where's the danger?". Add a lot inexperience and a gung ho style and you get this game. We need a much better plan in defensive transitions. Some of the senior players also have to do much more when the ball turns over, and when they're pressing. The first few seconds after conceding possession are huge now. The players that lack athleticism have stuck out like a sore thumb as they're continually having to cover long distances defensively. They look like they were pulling a bus at times. The new signings really need to make us faster and stronger if we're going to execute this style.

RND at CB instead of Robbo is madness.

Robbo couldn’t do 90 mins. How many times do folk need to hear it.

 

[utd4ever]

With all the right backs Utd have there is one that gets overlooked that would be ideal to be given a chance.

STARTING!!!!!

Stevie Wonder had a decent defensive brain on him in fairness, like he said, everything's alright if you get uptight (on your man). Reckon he must've played some Meadowhall Sunday League.

 

[shorehamview]

What fucking defence?

 

[Danetheblade]

STARTING!!!!!

SAME OUTCOME LATER IN THE GAME.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Nah. Robbo sorts that defence out for that second goal. And I’m not a fan of Robbo.

 

[Weasel]

I just want to say. Let's judge the transfer window at the end..... feck me sideways.

Perhaps those of us who were saying this was not acceptable might have had a point.

 

[ryza]

Ok tinfoil hat on. Selles started RND to sabotage ourselves so board have to step in

 

[Weasel]

That was one of the most defensively embarrassing performances from United that I can remember. Up there with the 8-0 drubbing v Newcastle re how open we are. Laughable.

 

[robbiez666]

What has happened to Burrows. Looks like he's aged 10 years over summer!

 

[Weasel]

All four of them were wide open. Burrows was appalling.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

If you sell your best CB a week before the season starts, these things will happen. Especially when your other CBs are half-fit or kids.

It doesn't help when they are offered little protection by those ahead of them.

 

[Not Titanium Blade]

Looking forward to seeing the 19 year old loanee CB that's going to turn that around. Maybe we can partner him with whomever AI says is the best defender playing in the Bulgarian Opal Fruits tiddlywinks league

 

[Hblockblade]

No defence selles needs to sort this out before he's gone

 

[Hblockblade]

Bristol City nothing too joke first game

 

[Houston_Blade]

It’s criminal that we’ve started with Bindon and RND at centre back and then had a half fit JLT as the only option on the bench. This is compounded by us only having Seriki who is a right back in the squad and having McCallum as back up for that position.

I’m not sure if it’s the owners, Bettis , Selles or a combination of the above that have let us sell our best defender and let 2 half decent right backs go back to parent clubs without a credible replacement.

Whoever it is needs a rocket up their arse and needs to sign 2 new CB’s and a RB by next league game or it will happen again.

Bindon is Anel without the pace, dribbling ability or aggression. RND should have been let go last contract expiry and JLT is bobbar but Wilder allowed him to trigger enough appearances to still be here this season.

Gerrit sorted Blayards
