alexscottislegend 2,064 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Maybe the fact we were given a good workout today will stand us in good stead for Tuesday when hopefully the crowd will lift us. Or am I straw-clutching? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th of foot 5,834 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 The United Keeper made one save the entire game. United went ahead in the 65th minute, we had fully thirty minutes to get back into it. A couple of half chances, ball drifting wide or over the bar from crosses. Two games without shooting. We may never know what type of keeper Malmo have, if we don't take a shot. The Manager must find a way of injecting energy into the team. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisabeer 409 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 We had one or two chances to score but never took them. But we have to be smarter with our substitutions. Lundstrom (who i think will disappear as the season goes on) and kent should have been hooked a lot sooner. Sheer desperation in the end. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 6,784 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Maybe cancel all tickets for Tuesday, we were amazing with no fans (no pressure) in stadiums. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oustanding last season but hes struggling badly at the moment. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet you said the same when Borna struggled for 12 - 18 months? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedan 93 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Really poor performance. The players have a lot of credit in the bank and I'm not worried per say but we are clearly off the pace and the the build up is nowhere near crisp enough. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoohBear 1,074 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Anyone get the feeling that we moderate our activity levels for these games? Do the coaching team try and get us winning with minimum effort with regard to the fact we have to get through so many games? I have no idea honestly, just a thought? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet a wee deflection helps them out. United may have done nothing but our lot did far less ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may never know what type of keeper Malmo have, if we don't take a shot. The Manager must find a way of injecting energy into the team. While today was meant to give game time to Aribo and Morelos, who worked their socks off, the rest of the midfield line-up bar Kamara and Davis were hardly helping. Lundstram and Kent were not injecting anything into our forward play, and as much I and some people like Kent`s workrate, there are games (too many, TBH) where much of his work ends up with nothing. My biggest bone of contention though is that he`s nearly undroppable. Wright has been a breath of fresh air, Roofe looks dangerous and even Itten looks a threat on either flank. It is time to put up the strike-force we have on display, instead of playing "attackers" who don`t come up with the good. At least as long as they don`t. And maybe it is time to give Patterson a shift in the Premiership too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
