Curious to know what a total reset involves?

[rodney trotter]

United should have made a move for Kieran Tierney in the summer . Tierney is now back to fitness and will likely feature v United next Monday. He would have been good competition for Shaw, instead of Young slotting in at left back .. I'd rate Tierney a better player then Shaw..

Curious to know what a total reset involves?

Switching it off, wait 30 seconds, then turn back on again.

Curious to know what a total reset involves?

Moving Ed Woodward away from transfers and player contracts.  I see tonight Pogba is back in the starting 11 yet a youthful line up will be captained by Tuanzebe.

Peterborough put 6 past Rochdale a few weeks ago. A new low

It's all part of the plan

Hard luck Rochdale a brave performance by them to just come up short in penalty shoot out. Some night for 16 year old Luke Matheson. As for United they clearly didn't heed Spurs getting knocked last night by Colchester (a worse side than Rochdale)

A strangly watchable game, United's worst players were their established ones.

Combined ages of the 2 goalscorers was 33

From Andy Mitten on twitter, thought it was a nice back story

Axel Tuanzebe had captained MUFC at every age level bar the first team. Tonight he captains the first team against Rochdale, the town where he grew up in after arriving from DR Congo aged four - with no English, only French and Lingala. At 16 he got As and A stars in his GCSEs.

A pit Pereira switched off and let Matheson slip in for the equaliser. Again a game United should easily have sewn up but struggled to convery possession and chances into goals. Great to see the young players again and delighted for Tuanzebe especially. Penalties all put away confidently. Tough draw but a good experience upcoming for these lads.

Pogba looked like he needed a game. Hope there's a few back for the Arsenal game.

Just was interested to see Spurs have the same points as United and went out of the Carabao cup to a lower ranked side than Rochdale yet no one is saying Pochettino should be sacked. In fact some are actually suggesting he should replace OGS at United. People need to chill.

Interesting that Poch is constantly linked with big jobs - United, Real etc and Ole has never ever been (and won't ever again) until he won the lottery and got the United job. Why do you think that  is!?

Why is Ole managing United when he won the lottery?

As I said before the spurs gig isn't a pressure cooker like the United one. Poch linked with loads big clubs but he wouldn't last long at any of them and a less pressured job like Spurs suits him better.

On the current United manager. He was a breath of fresh air when he first arrive opening 17 games was as good as United have played since fergie retired however since he got the job full time the pressure has come and its increased by each game now.

Tactically he's gone into his shell. It looks like his main objective is to try and not to lose games. Playing two central defensive midfielders against the likes of Southampton and West ham is not the United way. Even last night I lost count to the amount of sideway passes and aimless crosses into the box, it was Moyes like tactics.

Unless Ole goes back to the style of play he was using when caretaker manager he won't last past this season and surely he will eventually figure out that Lingard can't play the number 10 role, Pereira can't play as a right winger and Pogba is wasted as a holding midfielder.

To be honest that has been there under every United manager I've seen in my lifetime when the team is under pressure and not coping too well with it. Players try to play the percentages rather than really going for it and being instinctive or off the cuff. You can see when players are confident and assured that they play with a bit more freedom. I don't think it's a tactic but it is as a result of pressure.

That usually applies to must win PL games, last night was a league cup tie played at home against a league one side and it shouldn't have become a pressure situation.
