Just watching the "highlights" :
28th Minute - chaotic build-up in the area - Grimsby score. Referee disallows the goal for handball. Very much a 50-50 decision... referee clearly could not have seen it from his position ... dodgy decision goes in favour of the rags.
49th Minute - desperate rag defending... rag arm stretches out to deflect a dangerous ball ... clearly off his upper arm ... 50-50 decision...penalty to Grimsby? NO .. the decision goes in favour of the rags !
71st Minute ... Grimsby Score... Offside Given !... even the bloody commentator said it was onside because Maguire intentionally played the ball. 100% bent decision goes in favour of the rags
89th Minute .. rag corner ... Maguire grabs the shirt of his Grimsby marker ---drags the Grimsby player away .. and then -unmarked- he heads the ball into the net to equalise .
But then ..silly me ... this is MANCHESTER UNITED we're talking about.

Added to the joke penalty they missed v Fulham and the clear 2 handed push for their goal that somehow was allowed.
All this in just 2 games.
But even with this they cannot win.
A manager who cant watch penalties and plays with magnets on a board and a 75 million striker who was left to 10th choice to take a penalty.

I love every minute of it, but I don’t believe he is truly that bad a manager. There is something very toxic at that club - it sits in row Z and stinks of piss.

Amorim continues to pick sub-standard players so he can't be that good. And the pundits keep repeating that they have a strong squad. Apparently Mainoo is "a generational talent" and Amad is not actually a headless chicken but a "fantastic young player." They bought Amad for £20m after he had loan spells at Rangers, and Sunderland. He is aged 23 and has scored nine goals from 40 appearances at United. So he's more shite than "fantastic." The delusion about their players is relentless.

It's very strange. They've moved a lot of so called troublemakers out, how many more are left? They have become what they accused us of, a team of mercenaries only interested in number one and not the team. It's wonderful to witness.

I think one of the selling points used by the rags when hiring new players is the extensive and positive media/social media coverage and global profile that rag players typically receive, together with what you could generously describe as "sympathetic treatment" by the match officials and wider football authorities. As a consequence, this means that they continue to attract the self-entitled, narcissistic, man-child personality players, the living embodiment of which is their current captain Fernandes.

What they need is team that has a Fernie, Vincent, Andy M type backbone.

What they have is a rat-faced wanker and many more like him.

So sad!

Liew is so insecure, having to resort to garrulous and dense prose to hide his lack of understanding. Have you seen some of the bile he's written about City? One hack to definitely avoid at all costs.

I notice in that aricle Liew said United played well in spells against Fulham and Arsenal. That was the laughable media narrative. But the pattern was set in those matches for last night's result. The United players ran up and down the field like headless chickens lumping the ball into the box at every opportunity in all three matches. Last night they again looked like a lower-league team resorting to long punts and throw-ins towards Maguire. Most of their team can't control a ball or play a first time pass so they are always being closed down. Fernandez is their best technical player but he is bone idle.

Fantastic article this
www.theguardian.com

Grimsby deepen ridicule for Ruben Amorim as he ploughs on with flawed, final stand | Jonathan Liew

Carabao Cup humiliation is the latest setback for a coach who may actually be the last real thing at Manchester United

The point of the article is - unfortunately as usual, Liew is shoved way too far up his own arse to construct something relatable, not dripping with his own self-appointed importance and intellect..................

I’ve mentioned to a United fan for a year now that their midfield is completely useless. Mainoo is of the Rashford mould - one good game and an entire lifetime of adulation, England call ups and ass smoke blowing. Partnered with Casemiro or Fernandes and they just ball watch, the game flows past them/over them.
Fernandes is stat padded by his penalties, when he arrive he was surrounded by decent players , now he’s surrounded by mediocrity and reverts to his default (and United’s) mode of whinging to the ref and diving.

The only decent midfielder they had was Erickson- but his legs were gone, so the same thing happened.

Their attack wasn’t supported by the midfield, it lived on scraps from the defenders, chucking 200m at the problem isn’t going to solve that disconnect.

Their defence wasn’t supported by the midfield, leading to calamity onana situations as the defense buckles from overloads and midfield mistakes.

They spent money on the wrong positions, again.
