1) I didn't watch the game last night, but about the substitution. I think OGS made a right decision.
It is not all about on-pitch performance, u need to take fatigue and fitness into consideration as well.
AWB and Martial just get recovered from injury and sicks.
Martial not yet can play 90 mins. While too heavy for AWB to play full 2 matches 90 mins continuously.
Sub them out in 60 mins is correct decision for me.
2) Lingard and Mata not performing, not surprised at all.
Need to replace 6 players in either winter or summer.
Pogba, Mata, Matic, Fred, Lingard, Peirera.
What a huge project .... haiz ...
3) All player ratings report seems praising Brandon Williams, that is good.
May be can even surpassed Shaw if being developed correctly.
Shaw is good but really too prone to injury.
4) Gardner played out of position, not his fault. At least good to finally get experience in first team. Hope tough debut give him strong mentality about what is going on in Manchester United. Hope he can view it in a positive way, where he can actually stand easily in the team if performing well. Providing how shitty our midfielders are except McTom.
I understand that Martial and AWB is recovering, however with the way the game goes yesterday, Ole should've try to go for the kill earlier. Make the scoreline wider. Reduce the pressure on our player. Should've sub Lingard for Rashford, and replace Mata with Dan James. Then we can have the front pace needed to threaten the opponent side.
Brandon Williams was indeed good but still need to iron out some kinks. Garner was wasted because of played out of position last night. But the sad part is our game is a freaking mess. Like nobody knows what to do. Lack of support, miscommunication, too many sideways and back pass, not enough attempt to beat opponent player. Simply put it, like budak sekolah main bola but with too many side and back passes.
If you watch the match, you can see that Partizan Belgrade played better but no luck. Heck, they are even unlucky two handball in penalty box within a few minutes apart got dismissed by referee. The first handball might be given if a different referee is in charge. Macguire almost twisted his leg kena trick by Soumah. And Asano was very tricky for our defender last night.
All in all poor performance by the team, didn't deserve to win but still win.
