Match Day 1 - Soft Like Summer Rain
from Red Army Reaction Hosted by Oh! Brother Studios
Bruno Fernandes may be the most instinctive footballer United possess, which is both the attraction and the problem. Against Hull, every glance forward seemed to promise another early ball over the top. Tielemans had much the same idea, Cunha kept leaving the space a striker might occupy, and Hull soon learned that defending deep required patience rather than heroics. Carrick's faith in good players solving problems can work, but only when their habits complement one another. This midfield produced repetition instead: possession surrendered, pressure broken and no platform for the chances United needed. Hull added two straightforward set-piece goals to expose the lack of sharpness at the other end. One defeat does not condemn a season, yet a side with Champions League ambitions should not need long to understand why this one happened. Twitter Instagram
