Not a great result must still think they can get something next week. Def need to play the reserves on Sunday though ;)

Thought we got it wrong tonight
4 5 1had served us well all comp we went 5 at back and let in 2

Change of player and formation back to 451 and suddenly we looked dangerous
 
Looking for opinions on this...
This pic was taken at the moment the shot was taken from just outside the box. Decent shot but the 2 attackers appear to make it more difficult for the keeper to have a fair attempt to make a save.

On that photo alone, I would say offside then. However, the referees found a way to ignore the rule at the weekend when Xhaka scored against Utd, so what do I know.

Offside was my 1st thought.
 
Weird game and atmosphere at OT last night. Chelsea ran rings round us in the first half and we are still are not working hard enough off the ball. I watch City and Liverpool and when they lose the ball they are all over the opposition. We let Chelsea carry the ball a third of the pitch , or thread a 25 yard forward pass along the ground before a tackle is even attempted. A rethink of the formation is required, 2 holding midfielders is dated and tactically managers run rings around our predictable set up.

Rashford gave no assistance to Telles and Reece James exploited this perfectly. Whether he was told not to track back or not, the space behind him was ridiculous. Kante is still one of the best players in the prem.

Glimmer of light was the back 4 seemed to be more organised and less panicky without Maguire. Roll on the end of the season.

For the telly clappers, Gary Neville on commentary described it as embarrassing on numerous occasions. I've no idea what Rashford is up to. He just walks around the pitch, occasionally breaking out into a jog, trying to fake it that he is doing anything with a purpose.

The two defenders are also in line blocking his view.
That’s what someone said in the UTD game when Arsenal scored a similar one.( Not sure who it was.)
The offside rule is as bad as the handball rule nobody seems to understand it. Even the refs.
But imo that should be offside.

That’s the managers fault then.!
He should not be playing if he’s not even putting in the effort.
 
Big weekend for the Mighty Millers this weekend in League 1. Final game against Gillingham and can still finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd! Don't think it is likely we will go up as Champions as Wigan have a distinct advantage but we have, on paper, an easier game than MK Dons but no doubt Gillingham will be fighting for their League 1 lives and won't roll over. Hope we get it done early and don't suffer the late heartbreak of last season when Swansea equalised in the 88th minute to send us down. Fingers crossed for the right set of results

You’ve certainly made a mess of the final run in, I didn’t even get a text from my brother the other week when we beat MK Dons for you ?
Good luck tomorrow ?

All the top 3 have had a little stumble in the last few weeks - Wigan haven't won in last 5, losing 2 and MK Dons have lost 2 out of last 3. Hopefully we have turned the corner at the right time :eek:

Hope you don’t win, and the Gills take the points.

I suspect he only got a start last night because there was a lack of alternative options owing to injury, illness and Greenwood’s alleged sense of entitlement to do what he wants, when he wants, with anyone he wants. Otherwise Rashford would never get a start in a United shirt again.

The rumours are now emerging that Arsenal are keen on signing him. Always said he was another Danny Wellbeck. That just proves my point.
