I think we gave too much respect. If Origi is playing then just let him play at the top as the main striker. The 8 point lead is cut to 6 but that was the insurance we have. Now we can reset and start the next 10 game streak. It is these streaks that have got us to where we are
Solskjaer literally says the referee should be praised for ignoring fouls because it lets the game flow. Ignores the 100 times play was stopped because a Man Utd player flopped because they were tired.
That would make Firmino completely anonymous which, in turn, isolates Mane and Origi too. Mane shouldn't have been moved from the left though. Origi on the right? No sure, where's Shaqiri?
Solskjaer on achieveing 2 shots on target at home: "It is a great feeling for a manager to see the players are giving everything they have"
No mate, they changed to a 5-4-1 and dropped right off on 80 minutes. James came over to the left wing and Martial was left completely isolated, so they had no real out ball. It was a terrible call by Solskjaer imo.
So their 32% possession and 2 shots of target was solely down to the last 10 minutes. We were shocking today, but utd were **** too
They were under no real pressure until he made that tactical change which allowed you time and space to build. Suicidal against your lot that. I thought they’d done a good job of getting in your faces and you never really settled, they made you poor in fairness.
Correct; I don't think it was a foul and I think VAR was correct not to change the refs decision, what's your point?
Clear and obvious error is the biggest f*** up of a rule if there was one. They should simplify it to was there a foul? Was it a penalty? The refs need to accept they can make mistakes. The rules should allow the ref to correct his error not to subjectively analyse it.
Pretty sure that refs would admit they make mistakes, it's the authorities that don't want to "disrespect" them.
Just like last season, this is a match we should easily won on form. I thought we would smash them. 3 or 4 -0. But today confirmed that we have a psychological block when we go to old Trafford. I agree with many of the earlier points made here that we need that creative midfielder to make us the complete team. Trust Solskjaer to put out a formation that least suits us. What is it about the bloody mancs to end our record winning run? I really didn't want them to have that satisfaction on top of slowing our momentum down. Before the match there is no way we have foreseen dropping points against the 14th place club on such a poor run of form. I just hope that these 2 dropped points do not come to haunt us. This season does feel different though. The title is ours to lose even at this very early stage of the season.
The FA doesn't manage to have a 99.5% conviction rate on its charges by thinking it's possible to make mistakes
