So far the best word to describe this half is "disjointed". This is ugly on each end.

Forson didn't anticipate Rashford getting to that through ball. Had Hojlund been able to play, I'm confident it would be 1-0 right now. That was excellent by Rashford.
And then an excellent save by Onana.

Garnacho has had some bright moments the last few minutes...just hate that it took us the better part of 35 minutes to get into the flow of the game
Fulham was better to start. We eventually started to look more dangerous. Both teams will be thinking they can get 3 points out of this.
McTominay and Eriksen on
Casemiro and Forson off.
Casemiro and Forson off.
Casemiro clashes heads so ETH replaces him with McTominay...and also pulls Forson for Eriksen? 4-6-0? McTominay as a smash/bang forward?
So far these subs are coming up Millhouse.
Fulham have complete control of the midfield at the moment.
Thank God Jedi can't get in a good cross today
That goal had been coming all game long.
Because it's Mainoo and a washed Eriksen trying to play midfield for United. Bruno has moved to the right where he's generally ineffective. McTominay is at minimum playing as a 10.
And of course Fulham scores. 2nd half has been atrocious. Those subs were atrocious.

Oof
On the bright side, Minnesota United has hired away our set pieces coach.
Addition by subtraction
No disrespect intended to Mainoo by the way. Almost impossible for anyone to compensate for Eriksen by oneself.
Like everyone forgets that Eriksen was never a true central mid when he was younger. He was a 10. It's Mainoo and a bunch of other midfielders who want to be a 10.
Actually, it's worse than that. Our front 6 consists of 2 10s, 2 wingers, 1 McTominay (an 8 1/2 playing as a 10?) and Mainoo.
What ETH is doing to Kobbie borders on child abuse.

Throwing away 3 points at home against Fulham is how you insure you don't make top 4.
Harry Maguire with the equalizer! I don't believe it.
Slabhead saves the day. Check that off the bingo card.
Kind of surprised they didn't call McTominay offside and interfering with the goalie on Bruno's shot.
Let's go!
Always rated the Slab
Someone make a run to the back post and put that in. Good lord!
Leno is dropping a lot of scraps onto the floor. Keep shooting.
****
I don't want to beat up Onana… but that looked saveable.
Edit: he guessed left. What can you do I guess. Good shot.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Ah well. When you/re consistently leaving only 3-4 players back and everyone else is pressing hard in the attacking third, you always run the risk of that happening. Was a very high risk tactic. Didn't work.
Really couldn't afford to lose that one at home

No kidding. I left the house after the first 20 minutes so that was by far the least stressful way to experience that match.
If anyone is thinking that the games have been more stressful than usual recently, you aren't wrong. 4 of the last 6 EPL games have been decided by 1 goal (1 draw to Tottenham and the 3-0 over West Ham the 2 exceptions). In those 4 games, the game winning goal was scored in the...
82nd minute (3-2 W vs. Villa)
82nd minute (2-1 L vs. Forest)
90+7th minute (4-3 W vs. Wolves)
86th minute (2-1 W vs. Villa)
Looking ahead, next 5 games are:
@ Luton
Fulham
@ City
Everton
Sheffield United
This team is capable of losing each and every one of those matches but, with the obvious exception of @ City, that's about the easiest run of 5 games that a team looking to climb the table could ask for.
@ Luton broke the streak (though Barkley hitting the crossbar very late nearly continued it). To make up for the one week "break" we had a game tying goal in the 89th and a game winning goal in the 90+7th.
United games. They will take years off your life.
2 draws and 10 losses
Ten!
Ten!
Manchester United have conceded 435 shots in the Premier League this season. Only Sheffield United have conceded more. [@StatmanDave]

Tell me that Casemiro's form has fallen off a cliff without telling me that Casemiro's form has fallen off a cliff.
Eriksen really should've taken a yellow and fouled Traore on the break before their 2nd goal. Especially with Harry on a yellow (who also take some blame for heading the ball straight to the Fulham player)
LOLOLOLOL
Dalot - Lindelof - Varane - Amrabat
--------Casemiro---McTominay------
----------------Bruno--------------------
Antony-------Rashford---------Garnacho
And Onana
With Amrabat and Lindelof both starting today, say a prayer for this weekend because the LB that we trot out there is going to get absolutely murdered.
