Stop trying to walk the thing into the net.. How can you have 77% of the ball and the opposition keeper has a relatively comfortable night? |  |

Absolutey. Be brave and aggressive in the final third. We're like those dogs who bark at eachother through a closed gate. Hiding behind possession as domination. |  | | |

Pretty sure his instructions don't include things like have no shots from distance and be circumspect with crosses. Players make decisions on the pitch | |

Decision making which is drilled into them in the style of play the manager instils on the training ground. Possession is priority. | | | |

These tactics are fine for United who have players who can hit 30 yard goals or 25 yard free kicks |  |

My god if a professional footballer can’t hit a clean strike from 25 yards then they Are on the wrong trade. Although the amount of scuffs and misses was laughable and does make you wonder. | | | |

At this stage, I'd be perfectly happy to have someone who can hit a ball cleanly on target at six yards for us. That is seemingly too much to ask, though. | |

exactly.
and the first 11, with 1 or 2 of the reserves pulling holes when needed, are more than fine to do this |  |

Seems to be a few on here starting to turn against McKenna's ideas.

Minus the Charlton game we only scored 11 in the last 12 games of last season I believe [Post edited 10 Aug 2022 10:07]

Doesn't matter how many you score, as long as its at least 1 more than the team you're playing.

Take some 20+ shots early in a game so it changes the mind set and positioning of defenders
Go wide go for the line and get decent crosses in
Get good service into the box from set pieces
And critically runners need to break the lines, stretch teams, break into the box and beat players
I believe we will get there.. and I think Harness is a big addition because he wants to make things happen quickly.
Also Morsy’s drive can add so much when he starts.
A couple of goals and a win Saturday and these jitters in the fan base will subside
But it’s right to call out this lack of attacking edge and intensity |  |

Not turning against his tactics whatsoever. Possession and passing football is what I like. You can't do anything without the ball! However, when a far lesser side has snatched a lead and literally camps out on the edge of the area, endlessly recycling the ball 25 to 30 yards out probably isn't going to cut it. Playing with a bit of zip and pace, putting quality crosses in and some semi speculatve 20 yard shots to put the keeper under pressure, get a deflection or a keeper spill might. | |

Through poor finishing! We had 17 attempts on goals and at least 4 of those were good chances - leigh, humphreys twice and John jules.
I get some of the concerns about proven goalscorers in our striker ranks at the club outside of ladapo (noting I don't include Chaplin and harness in this who both can finish) but I think arguments about us not threatening are far fetched. We've had 53 attempts in 3 games! That's not through lack of crosses and shots | | | |

Love it when people selectively exclude specific events that don't fit their argument! |  |
