United (A) | Post Match Thread

So, I now reckon looking at all the comments that most of our players are playing poorly. Does that not suggest that there are other factors here?

It's a hard match. Of course they will have chances, but Rashford was due to Ederson mkstake. What other chance do they have? Because if you are considering half chances, then what about Bernardo's header where he was comoletely alone? Or Foden's? Those are way more clear than any other chance Ubited had bar Rashford one

The one where Rashford ran clean through and Ederson made the save. Anyway, arsed about them we’re just not creating ourselves anymore

So a defender slows down because an attacker is in the way of the ball and that's the referee's fault? Sure his job was to try nd defend it and if he had, Rashford would have become offside

That attacker happened to be offside, so again pal how is he not interfering with play ?

When that goal was given I had a temporary internal disconnect from the sport.

I'm trying to keep the faith and support my team, but with all the breaks the teams in red get when they play us, it's getting tough.

"All the breaks" normally means luck. That decision and what followed had nothing to do with luck.

So you can run alongside the ball shift your body, imitate change of direction and block paths and not be impacting the play now?

I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any means but that was as corrupt a decision as you'll ever see, ever!

of course he's interfering, if he stops and stands still, fine, play on not interfering, but he's carried on his run exactly as he would if he's onside, it's not even smart to not touch it, I think he's only left it because it was on his left foot and Fernandes was coming onto it and probably gives him a late shout.

In a scenario where Rashford isn't there after stopping, it's a straight race between akanji walker and Fernandes to the ball, Fernandes from further back and being much slower than the other two doesnt get anywhere near the ball, they all go directly towards the ball with no hesitation, something that both defenders suffered purely because of Rashford presence and it's swept up with zero problem. It's a criminally disgusting decision. Even arsenal and united fans, the two beneficiaries of the corruption think that's too obvious. What a fucking farce!

Anyway, ignoring that decision and the pen on Haaland which looked a pen to me for a moment, I thought we got the plan right for the first 60 minutes, controlled the game first half whilst staying tight enough to deal with their non-league away counter tactics, created very little but that was fine, was half was about not falling behind then second half we pushed on which got us the deserved lead.

The problem was we went into sit back mode once we scored, we had to carry on as if we hadn't scored and push for the second, it was there if we wanted it but our mentality was shit, forward passes were ignored constantly to pass backwards instead and kill the momentum.

the liklihood of seeing out a 1-0 was very slim and was a poor decision to try that's cost us, I'm assuming that has come from Pep. Soon as they got ahead we were never breaking them down.

That one decision to not push on has cost us along with some atrocious officiating.

Constructive criticism. We're focused on possession not goals. We don't risk through balls enough. Regardless of his goals Haaland is a passenger in this type of tactical possession obsessed football. we've battled and battled but you could count the good first halves we've had on one hand this season. What's kneejerk about that? We're horrible to watch right now.

If you can show me where I said that sort of post is knee jerk, please do.
 
By the way Arsenal are still 5/4 at the bookies to win it. Looking like a shout
