The RED side of Manchester

A big match, both the defence were under scrutiny for sometime now. A good outing last week against New Castle and a good midweek Champions league game against PSG a welcome release for Ole. Confidence for Reds but should not get into over confidence is what all United Fans will be hoping for. On the other hand Chelsea had a good outing and confidence soaring as well. Two home defeats on the trout was a worry for the Reds. Nervy and tentative first half Trusted eleven is what Ole had gone with switching back to the four at the back. Packed midfield and probably the heat map would be showing completely red in the middle of the park and slightly on the Chelsea half. With both the teams having phase upfront, the midfield was looking for an error from reach other. Last seven to ten min saw some brisk phase but other wise a very tentative first half.  Should have looked up a little bit more missing out on swift passes and the missed chance from Rashford.  Work rate from McTominay a...

International break, Media highlights, the previous result against Jose's men and call for change of coach; only compounded issues for Ole. How does he cope up? Pressures from all front, no first choice strikers at his disposal and a need for change based on previous match. Ole responded with 5 changes one or two forced, the rest was an intended message by Ole. Mata, the good boy got his chance. Only scary one was Fred who has the tendency to loose the ball in some crucial positions. Overall Ole reverted to his trusted team - the team that saved him his job with a fine performance during end of 2019 -2020 season and Europa. The players who played within their abilities and trusted each other. The Jinx continues Conceding early and then trying to equalise has happened too very often for any ManUtd fan's liking or rather even the player's liking but this has happened way too often. 1:42 Min and a deflection off ManUtd defender put ManUnd in a spot of bother.   But the team ca...

  Pre match review Bailly in and Lindelof on the bench, pretty much a safe side but can they play to their potential and get a good result out of it??? Well its 50-50 for both the teams. May be a Mctominey for Matic but I will still go with Ole and see if that change is needed later in the game. Ole and Jose haven't had the best of comments over last couple of weeks. Son carrying an injury and Wan-Bissaka hopefully will take care of his side. And a kick off #BlakLifeMatters #AllLifeMatters Crazy 45 Thirty two seconds and Martial is brought down with the penalty duly converted by Fernandes. Lot of penalties is what pundits talk about when it comes to ManUtd winning penalties. Well we see Spurs equalise in no time, a huge mistake by Maguire and more day dreaming from the defence and Spurs lead. Mistake after mistake by the defence is not acceptable. One dirty game played by Spurs is understood but ManUtd lost its composure and played into their hands and kept conceding.  Defence...
