So Rino definitely isn't a full back.

Aluko looks decent :shock:

You might say it’s a grand performance from Reading (and it is) but ManU aren’t exactly pressing them. In the Championship that is what happens in most games and that is when Reading look hopeless.

That is what the management need to address - and quickly.

Its the last bit that I find so depressing. We have been in great positions to shoot and then passed or taken an extra touch instead. We are so bloody goalshy its untrue. Barrow just then driving forward on the edge of the box passes when a shot is on. It so frustrating.

Indeed

That and the defensive organisation and the midfield bite and creativity and the finishing ability up front.

I'm sorry but I'm getting really frustrated with this game, no matter how well we've competed against United, we haven't looked like scoring at all. Same as many other games this season.

This second half has been a joy to watch imho. I don’t care if United B are playing crap. We’re having a go with some decent quality as well.

Happy.

Yep, Utd have been totally comfortable and in control no matter how much possession we've had.

Coppells Lost Coat Could this game be one of the most embarrassing performances shown on live TV? Damage limitation is a must - hopefully we can be brave and hold on for a at least 30 mins.
We are a team that have no real defending or attacking qualities. Playing a team that is fully motivated and scoring all sorts of goals.


Quite the opposite! Dominated possession, twice as many shots, easy on the eye. Just lacking quality in final third.

They've let us have the ball for the entire game knowing we'd do nothing with it.

Nothing to get excited about, champ teams won't let us have that time and space
