Oh look.

Our only fit senior full back going off with what looks like cracked ribs.

Mcclaren is a clown.

We're desperate for defenders and goal scorers and defensive midfielders too.

What a team.

Swapsies? Fellaini for a full-back.

Even Dummett will do.

Dummett and Haiadara are both injured - we're using Lascelles (CB) at full-back. Or Mbemba. Or 3 at the back with Gouffran in an LWB role. No idea either which way tbh.

Nice to see Benik scoring.

Can't believe we gave Sanogo numerous chances but never gave Benik a sniff

Aye were doing alright for goalkeepers and attacking midfielders

That's about it tbh

Dont worry though we turned a corner in our 1-0 defeat to Arsenal and have spent 70m...

Our defence let Charlie Austin have a free header in the area.

Fuck sake, United are completely incompetent even when I don't want them to, cost me a De Gea clean sheet in FPL.

I was looking forward to you lot grinding out goalless draws for the rest of the season.

Fucking depressing.

Most sustained boos so far, it really was that bad. Might be the worst of the season, never looked like winning and I went into the game expecting us to struggle.

Pass me the alcohol.

We're going to regret buying Mitrovic instead of Austin forever aren't we?

Should have just bought both?

Mitrovic offers a lot but isn't a goalscorer and if he's going to be upfront by himself then what on earth do we expect?

I swear Mitrovic has missed easy chances in all our games since Christmas. So as much as he works hard, he's clearly not the answer. Maybe we need to go out and find somebody who will be, as well as finally buying a capable left-back.

Steve McClaren's tactics are actually baffling. When Newcastle lost five in a row he kept it the same. When Newcastle win he changes it.

Seemed to start with a back four, plays well, then swaps to a back five with two deep midfielders. So basically playing with a defensive 7 - one of which is a winger. Bizarre. And Saivet playing as a total anchor so Shelvey had no way to maneuver.

I didn't want Shelvey - As I thought he was a complete Hollywood player, who is normally average at best. He took a week to prove me wrong. And two weeks to prove me right.

And I can't stand the sight of Wijnaldum- another game another dreadful performance.

McClaren seems to lack any sort of balls with his subs. Took off his easy targets in Saivet and Aarons, left on Shelvey and Wijnaldum. Made his subs too late.

Watford looked pretty awful defensively. Sissoko looked to have the beating of Ake, Britos looked really bad and Paredes looks an absolute joke.

Yeah there's something lacking coherence tactically with his decision making, and its very odd that an injury to Paul Dummett of all people means we have to go for a destabilising personnel and tactical shift. The system used v West Ham seemed to work better, and surely even with Lascelles or Mbemba out of position at LB, it shouldn't have lead to an immediate double whammy of changes that sapped of the good qualities of that afternoon.

Seems to be a forward thing to - apparently Janmaat and Shelvey were seen complainiing the forwards didn't do enough moving.

NUFC have been in the bottom six since the opening month, and only 5 wins in 23 for McClaren... most clubs in this position would've pulled the trigger by now.

McClaren switched tactics because he wanted to - Not because of the injury to Dummett imo. He played five at the back last month against Watford.

And Watford's second goal will look bad at MOTD but they had us under the kosh for a good 10 minutes the goal was coming. Janmaat, Colo, Mbemba and Lascelles had reasonable games today.
