Posts: 726September 2012 No opportunity to watch this game but I checked my espn app earlier and saw the score and my eyes about fell out of my head. Can someone sorta set the table for me on the lineup we put out and what went wrong? Thanks.

Posts: 726September 2012 Well I found an article in the guardian that discussed the match and pretty much told me what I wanted to know. We didn't start our top team and paid for it. Oh well, time to get some more points this weekend.

Or, can people with much more experience of football please try and summarise the issues and the game, please.I didn't think it unreasonable.
I am quite opposed to a lot of the USA's actions, though I find the people a very mixed bag. However, I am leaping to the defence of a nation I usually disagree with because you're being such a tit about it!
You're Richard Dawkins in disguise.

As for what happened, we started Francisco Junior, who was far too lightweight against a determined Leeds side, Guaye, who did pretty much nothing, Oviedo in place of baines, who wasn't as good as Baines (obviously), Mucha, who whilst not at fault for either goal, is ropey.
Leeds were faster into the tackle, beat some players with ease. There was a gaping chasm between Heitinga at right centre defence and Coleman at right back, I think down to the latter's positioning.
Fellaini defended woefully, and for the first half was more deep lying.
Again our central defence pairing looked wobbly.
Naismith was utterly gash.
Second half was an improvement, mainly due to the introduction of Pienaar. Neville replaced Junior, and Fellaini pushed forwards. Anichebe had presentable chances to do things, but didn't, with the exception of a great cross to Naismith, unmarked at the back post, who missed with a header by some distance. He remained gash.
Our passing wasn't crisp, the positions had been changed, it was meant to be more a 4-4-2 I think, but nobody seemed to know where they were, or more importantly the other players were.
Mirallas didn't do much all game. I think he was playing up front.
Leeds weren't great, but they were better than us.

Posts: 726September 2012 I was curious about Mucha. I was wondering if those goals would've been let in if Howard was in goal or not. Sounds like Mucha did ok.
Well some younger players do need some sort of playing time and experience the growing pains, I guess you couldn't really be 100% confident in that lineup for a for sure win.
Thank you for your well thought out response. I don't get to watch these games over here and I am trying to learn more every day about this team and whole squad. If I was the coach and had to pick a stronger squad for either Leeds or Southhampton, I probably would've done the same thing. -
Posts: 2,545September 2012 The defending could have been better for the goals, and the first goal was a beast, but Mucha just doesn't have the confidence that Howard does. We need a new back-up Keeper. Shame that we missed out on Boruc.

-----------------
The defending has been a little shaky lately but luckily Howard has been beast. I hope they can fix their positioning some. -
Posts: 126September 2012 They wanted it a lot more they were first to everything and winning everything, they chased everything they didn't give us any time on the ball and they deserved there win.

Nutshell.
It's the Mickey Mouse Cup, the one we joke about that resides across the park. FA Cup I could understand.
I think Moyes's statement was the best summation of the night.
Howdy, Stranger!
