There was so much wrong today that it would be a full essay to get it all off my chest.
Lack of desire and spirit.
Lack of the basic ability to pass the ball to one of our own players.
Pass the ball and make an angle for the return - we couldn't do that - give and go is the expression.
We passed the ball slowly, we moved slowly, we went backwards because there was no one ahead to take the ball, we left a huge hole in the middle of midfield, we didn't want the ball - it just goes on.
Let us remember fellow posters that our Manager is probably on £70k/week and that the wage bill for the starting XI was upwards of £750k/week - they are all expected to perform better than that and no one did!
Certainly not the Manager who was clueless although he can only work with what he has and I can't think of any player who I saw have a good game.
Absolutely pathetic and disgraceful.
Utd weren't much good but they deserved the three points.
This is our 7th season at the top table and I would be happier with the team that came up in 2013 starting today - at least they tried!
That is really damning in my opinion.
Got to stop!

Roy is a manager that is stuck in The 1990’s...Football has moved on. His team selection and substitutions (or lack of)are nearly always strange..he seems to always pull the player that is doing ok
He plays players out of position...
It’s plain to see that Scott Dann is past it, Luca looks really unfit and just can’t seem to get into the game . We needed a game plan in case we went a goal down...one where we have players on the pitch that have a cutting edge offensively
You need to be able to bring on Camarasa, or switch Meyer into a central position, perhaps introduce last weeks mom Ayew ...Put Wilf on the wing . You don’t take your flair player off and bring on yet another holding central midfielder. Or was Roy taking a 1-0 defeat?
Today, we knew that Sheffield would be physical and a big side.
Kouyate perhaps should have started...I appreciate it’s easy said after the game, but these are basics and just obvious to most

Sorry, but yes after two games, where do you see the improvement coming from?

If you can't see that our coaching is far below the standard needed you are deluded. Look at Leicester City today, they were god awful under Puel with a similar set of players, Brendan Rodgers comes in and they look very good. Our players look scared on the ball, too slow to pass and there is absolutely zero productive movement when we go forwards. This is down to coaching, not the players.

We were made to look that way.

To look as average as we did today against a side that is second favourites to go down is what I mean by limited.
