I'd feel some type of way if my manager walks half way accross the pitch to give Ronaldo a hand shake and ignore me walking right by him :dead: :russ:

Levels :wow:

How compact was the defence to the attack?
Did you play a high line?
A lot better positionally as a unit.

Players were proactive in winning the ball back when the ball went to Palace’s forwards, they had no time to turn/no space, which allowed us to sustain attacks, which is all in line with having a more compact shape and there being less ground to cover.

A long way to go in terms of attacking patterns of play(Sancho is going to eat once players start running off him when he’s in pockets of space).

One word to describe it was probs Ralfs most word used so far: Control. We were in control with and without the ball.

I'm not putting a negative spin but palace were really poor today. It was easy for us to play a high line against Benteke and Zaha was too deep. Their passing into the final 3rd was shocking. Their only opportunities were from set pieces really.
The game would be loooked at different if Ayew wasn't trash as he probably missed the best chance in the match.
United played well mostly in the first half. Lots of passes. A bit more than usual which was good and gives the control RR likes. There was a lot of moments were the front 3 didn't click and not helped by Bruno's erratic passing. I don't trust McTom and Maguire against good teams. Dalot did quite well. Played on the front foot a lot.

If we can get a good midfielder in Jan i would but we need 2 midfielders next summer.

It was far from perfect but I think you have to give us credit, we made their passing in to the final 3rd look bad by actually crowding and putting the receiver under pressure.
