United (A) - League Cup SF | Post-Match Thread

Not sure how long I can happily watch this video on loop for. Stones and Dias embracing like two boyhood friends, not a pair of centre halves who've barely met. We're back

I reckon Dias has told Stones that his ultimate desire is to play a final at Wembley

Our lads wanted it a lot more and were much hungrier than they were.

Apart from Luke Shaw, who definitely couldn't wait for his butties after the game!

Don’t agree with this. They REALLY wanted to win this but their heads dropped when they realised Silly Ole had been lying to them when he told them they were a great team - after a few lucky PL results.

It dawned on them that we were superior & whatever they did we stopped them dead

Great performance. Looking more and more like we’ve got our mojo back! What a leader Dias is turning out to be. Love the way he talks those around him through the game. Nice touch from sky on the 8th minute with the minutes applause (still cnuts though)

Yeah but where they going to play in the team ;)

Forwards usually play up front i think!:))

You are joking aren't you? It was actually mentioned how we looked brighter because of the EXTRA rest we had before the match (by not playing everton)
No mention that we played three days earlier.
I didn't even hear one reference during the game how many we had out or returning after Covid/Injury.

Oh and did anybody notice how the ref was constantly taking positions that blocked our play down the left flank?

Referees patrol a diagonal path. It is bound to conflict with our left sided attacking play at times, and also our right sided defending areas (opponent's left side attacks). Don't be misled into thinking this is deliberate sabotage by referees.

My point was that he was often too far forward with our play. Good refs follow the play. He was preempting the play and taking up his position too early. It might just be his style, but annoying either way.

Ruben Dias is on track to become the worlds best CB if he isn't already.

We FINALLY have a VK replacement that is more than worthy.

Dias and Stones are colossal together.

Laporte must be v worried.

 

[dickie davies]

Poor fucker, he should have stayed where he was.
But, hey-ho, he wanted to be a part of the Rag machine, why I don't know,

250,000 reasons a week

There are a lot of professional defensive midfielders earning 100 grand a week who can't plot a run to effectively block our play, I think anyone who thinks the referees can do it deliberately are giving them far to much credit.

Ha ha. Brought them down a peg or two last night. The great pretenders who are something above thier station now realise the truth. Stand aside you shower of shit, this is how to do it.....
