Match Day Thread Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Blaming the tactics is equal to blaming Jose Mourinho.

 

meh..given the refs performance it was given based on the same criteria but felliani flopped and pretended his knee was blown out. it was marginal.

 

Was odd he went down holding his right leg when Duffy came in from his left hand side.

Was soft.. no one seemed to actually look at it and analyse it properly though, probably because it made no difference in final result.

 

That referee was trying to do united some favour surely not a penalty.

 

I watched it in a pub full of Utd fans...I was kind and didn't rip the piss as much as I could have.

my MOTM was Glen Murray. He absolutely bossed the Utd back line showing how to play the lone striker role. he put himself about and Bailly and Lindelof couldn't cope with him. Utd's £100 million + midfield was overrun by players who, while supposedly not in their class, showed commitment and a desire to run and put a shift in. they hunted Utd's midfield down and stopped them. Pogba was lambasted in the pub and Fred was non existent. the game by-passed Mata in the first half and, while Rashford made some runs in the second, he and Linguard never got a foothold in the second. Martial looks shot in this showing.

Brighton were a team. Utd weren't.

 

I think united were scare of Brighton humiliating them and that was what happened.

 

Man Utd were the better team #deluded

 

yeah you could tell from the off that the people who mourinho always targets were now the guys he needed a shift from.

mata and martial prob knew after 5 mins he would be hauling them off and blaming them.

the one thing we know as lfc fans is we won't be out worked by any side this season. we might get beat but it won't be like this.

 

Funny how quickly the statistical nature of #reality reveals itself

Man Utd have scored 4 goals this season
50% penalties
50% flukey deflections

Even going game by game the same trend holds

Bookies have started paying out on Pogba scoring a penalty against Spurs

 

I'm hoping spurs bottle it.

will keep mourinho in job longer while breaking spurs spirit.

 

Definitely want Man Utd to take points off Spurs

 

yeah absolutely. just like last year.
go Utd

 

Mourinho has to win 5 of the next 6 games just to keep pace with last season. He's ****ed.

 

We are not going to take points off Spurs mate, we want them to finish above you again.

 

also the lads in the pub were calling for Fellaini to come on at half time...half time! before the first half was over! they were trying to make out how well he played in the world cup and what a difference he would make while I just pointed out it'll be long balls up to him.

to be fair I was wrong, they couldn't even punt the ball over the top to him

 

have they gone that far that they'd actually be calling for donk ball. they can't even remember what real football looks like.

 

every word is true...they can see the limitations of their team...Pogba (rightfully) got a real going over

 

amazing how 6 years later they are that far gone they would call for a player like felliani. mourinho was never going to do anything but lump it at the 2 big men

 

Yeah, we didn't have a fast lad to lump it to

 

oh dear oh dear.

martial.
rashford
lingard.

terrible effort
