Very good first half from us but we need to finish our chances. Bentancur superb, sweeping every single thing up for us. Van de Ven also fantastic, that assist was brilliant. Werner though is just an utter donkey, that one on one was just ridiculous. @Left on the Shelf earns a point for being closest with his 24th min prediction for a Werner miss. Can he make it a clean sweep with the timing of his inevitable substitution?
It's an unlucky slip but he shouldn't make the tackle. It's out of control and high, albeit with little force.
Expect the referee to do all he can to even things up in the second half. We need to be so switched on and not do anything that gives any chance of us going down to 10 men
You can score without being frantic. Ensure the passing is tight/fast enough, and they will have to expend energy in chasing down (which is when the gaps increase) .
And how many reds have utd got away with? Quite a few. And although it was harsh you can see why it was given.
It was harsh but the ball was long gone, he targeted Maddison so he played and lost . I will not lose sleep.
Twenty one years ago we were 3 up at ht against another Manchester side with them down to 10 men ... just saying like
Whilst I understand the desire for the on-field decision to be valid, what is the point of VAR now because other than offsides it does nothing now. i am delighted that Bruno was sent off but VAR should have intervened and made it a yellow, but it would appear that we are more interested in backing the onfield ref than we are in getting the correct decision. As for the game, I agree that United must be better in the 2nd half this won't finish 0-1 that's for sure and even against 10 I doubt we will keep a clean sheet.
