kevthebad 914 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Fingertips saved them then. Goalposts having more action than anything. Come on ETH change it. We could win this with the right subs on. Hurray, he's listened to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kevthebad 914 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Two points dropped, with 11 men we should have won easily....but Antony and Sancho meant we were only playing with 9 in any case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hdcantona 9,000 Posted March 12 Author Report Share Posted March 12 I think Casemiro was unlucky but it was a red, however the non pen on the handball was a joke, Bazunu did catch Rashford too though I understand that not being given - gritted out a point playing with ten for an hour and probably still could/should have won kevthebad 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deez Nutz 372 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Can't remember the last time I enjoyed a 0-0 so much. Really open game, Martinez was different gravy again, and Walker Peter's was good for them. You can't win them all, and at least we didn't lose. Still lack composure at times. Southampton were A completely different team to the one I watched getting smashed by Brentford, this new manager has given them belief. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Southampton were A completely different team to the one I watched getting smashed by Brentford, this new manager has given them belief. They played United off the pitch under Hasenhüttl earlier in the season, but lost 1-0. They knocked City out of The League Cup and deserved it. They also won at Stamford Bridge recently. They're the youngest squad in the league, so they lack consistency. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevthebad 914 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Just looked at the table and losing 5 points in the last two games has made 4th place by no means certain! Newcastle away could be a major game. 1Day 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PVAD 4,575 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 (edited) Red cards can influence games we all know that and I would have thought United fans were not that shallow to blame the result on that seems a lot are though on fanzones and twitter. Let's look at the match before the red card, lets look at the opposition where they are in the table just how bad they are apart from a couple of "freak" results. Then analyse it after the sending off it's embarrassing fans focus on the red we've won with 10 before many teams have won with 10 over the years. Some are acting as if we played Real Madrid and got a plucky point it was Southampton for god's sake!! The red and the pen appeals, which were legit, can not define performance. Yes they dug in but they were against the worst side in the Premiership. Fact is United have been getting over the line for months now a combination of an extremely shit squad extremely bad selection choices by Ten Hag and the fact they've played every 3 days since December. Ten Hags insistence on playing almost with the same starting line up bar a change here and there, playing off form players and players in the wrong position is what should be looked at more in depth. I pride myself in not being a winging bastard and I'm not starting now. Refs VAR have saved our ass's plenty of times this season you just get on with it. Yes we could have 2 pens, 1 definitely, but do you really let the performance be defined by refereeing decisions. Fernandes goal v City should never had stood that's just an example shit happens! The Bald Wizard however needs to be very careful in relying and trusting players that are clearly a disgrace to the United shirt. He has started to have his favourites you know "the undroppables" that Solskjaer had his mates that could do no wrong and that is a really dodgy path to go down on.

Albert Quixall 3,867 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Game was ruined by the referee. Why is it they always want to be the star of the show? Ten Hag should complain. This arsehole Taylor has got form. 1Day, Gary and robbo777 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fuckin shockers Sancho is a waste of space. He offers nothing. Good player at Dortmund but something has happened to him since he came here. If he does have mental issues, then I feel sorry for him but the team can't carry a passenger. Anthony is OK and hopefully will improve but for the money we paid for him, you'd expect a more polished player. 1Day and kevthebad 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He had him on his books at Ajax for 2 years so surely there must be other aspects to his game we haven't seen yet? An 85mill transfer fee cannot be justified on a player who's only attribute seems to be coming inside a LB , into the middle which is far more dense than out on his own wing, playing either a square or back pass, and making no movement, providing his teammates with no options other than to switch across field. His left footed curlers into the top corner look stunning but so far they've cost Utd over 28 million quid each. Sincerely hope Erik's not pulled an Ole with this one!

He’s been bought with his Ajax style of play in mind, due to the limitations of the majority of our squad ETH has not implemented many of those concepts yet, he’s there as he knows how to press properly and retains the ball really well, in addition to having a fiery mentality and attitude as he adapts to the league and more importantly as the rest of the squad is moulded to eth’s liking I think he’ll get better and better, in the meantime he’s massively overpriced though (probably always will be to some extent) - he’s not Pepe levels of bad but the qualities I described are worth maybe half what we paid Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think he will improve but my main concern is when? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
