There were a lot of things not going right today,\u201d Schmeichel told CBS Sports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not nice being a Man United supporter to see that kind of performance today. I have to be honest, right from the word go I never felt there was a goal coming, never at any point, correct me if I\u2019m wrong I don\u2019t think we created a single chance all game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is not a lot of pace in the team. You have got a little bit on the left wing, a little bit up front, but then you have got a midfield [Fernandes, McTominay and Amrabat] who seems to be confused with what their job is \u2013 some of them are pressing, some of them are not pressing, they leave that massive gap between the defenders and the front players, and it is like two linear lines.
