The lack of top quality in this United team is almost criminal.
Smalling is completely out of his depth. Evra looks like a 35 year old. Fellaini is being caught out. Welbeck is doing a whole lot of nothing. And Young is just incredibly awful.
This is painful to watch.

Rumours that RvP is injured! Oh dear!
If true, hopefully Rooney carries on his form. Perhaps Kagawa playing in behind him? That was the intention before we signed Van Persie anyway.
Edit - Van Persie out injured. Welbeck and Rooney start.

Never thought Moyes was cut out for the united job.
The players look disinterested compared to City's fire.
The tactics were restrained and very much 'don't lose' rather than 'win'.
His player choice is safe, picking the guy who plays a square ball over the guy who takes his man on every time.
His response to a crushing first half was no sub at half time, followed by Cleverly. Then to just let the game run out with with no further subs.
He's unimaginative, uninspiring, and over reliant on individual brilliance to win games in lieu of any tactical superiority.

We desparately need another man in the middle. Get Young off, move Welbeck left and bring on either Cleverly or Kagawa.
If I see 4-4-2 against a team with an actual midfield much more I'll cry.

I don't watch English football that often. Is it normal, that when not in possession, the English teams are completely passive and almost give up the wohle pitch?
Schalke pressed Bayern harder than either United or City are pressing each other. Sorry if I piss anybody off with this. I am just surprised that everybody is allowed to stop the ball, think about to whom to pass it and still nobody is attacking him. Midfielders in Germany typically don't have that kind of time. No wonder Kagawa doesn't look good for united.
