Paul Pogba bad and Alexis Sanchez woeful
David de Gea - 7 (唯一能看的只有香腸了....
Said it all that he made the outstanding contribution in United's soporific
first-half. Saved well low down to his left from Jake Livermore. 7
Antonio Valencia - 4
Ventured into the final third plenty of times as Juan Mata veered inside but
you have to wonder how often he practises crossing at Carrington.
Chris Smalling - 6
Governed Salomon Rondon well and otherwise had little to do as West Brom
heavily relied on the counter-attack and set-pieces.
Victor Lindelof - 5
In a game where United started three central midfielders, Lindelof's presence
further forward was unnecessary. Unable to showcase his attacking qualities.
Ashley Young - 5
Energetic but ineffectual. At times, he was the obvious option but his
blinkered teammates failed to feed him the ball.
Ander Herrera - 4
Could easily have won a penalty after Craig Dawson appeared to upend him.
Otherwise, the Basque's passing was scratchy and he was substituted at
half-time.
Nemanja Matic - 4
On an afternoon where he was inessential against the basement club, Matic had
little defending to do and did little attacking, too.
Paul Pogba - 4 (唯一記憶點就是那個前排扣殺了....
Showcased plenty of style but little substance. Often played the wrong pass
in counter-attacks and substituted before the hour mark.
Juan Mata - 4
Began brightly with his infield running and incision but then became wasteful
on the ball and faded in the second-half.
Alexis Sanchez - 3 (我現在覺得374有時候像是防守中場...
Full of endeavour but, like Mata, his darts inside merely further congested
the middle and deprived United of natural width up front. So careless on the
ball and angered the crowd at times.
Romelu Lukaku - 4
Wasted an excellent opening and his touch was often awry. Worked tirelessly
but lost Jay Rodriguez for West Brom's goal.
Subs
Jesse Lingard - 5
Squandered a good chance.
Anthony Martial - 4
Timid.
Marcus Rashford - 4
All over the place.
