We've been hit and miss with our recruitment.

For every Haaland is a perma crocked and technically limited Phillips.

I mean we've had years to get a left back and they went for Gomez who is barely good enough for the Carabao cup.

No one expected Foden and Gundogan to fall off a cliff and for Bernardo to be want away all season or for Dias, Laporte, Walker and Stones to miss significant game time through injury.

Or Newcastle at anfield

Or Arsenal at Old Scaffold

Fucking arguing with the ref at full time. Grow the fuck up and show some balls during the game.

I'd be a lot more worried if they weren't arguing with the ref.

I don’t think the performance was fine. First half was just as bad as Wednesday night. Second half was ok against a wank United side, but still miles off of anything like our standards.

Agree. First half dreadful. Second half much better but we stopped after scoring and then got shafted obviously….. but there is an underlying issue ongoing. We need to snap out of it quick

Rashford took Akanji out of the equation, which is in itself interfering with play.

People saying Akanji should have hustled back quicker, how many times have you seen defenders get too close behind a man running behind the lines, clip their heels, they go down, denial of goal-scoring opportunity + red card. Akanji can't be expected to know with 100% certainty he is offside.

The fact there is a player stood in his way massively impacts his decision making when it comes to attempting to play the ball. No Rashford = Akanji just accelerates and picks it up easily. I don't see how anybody says otherwise. I also think Ederson rushes the ball with no Rashford - he does that all the time (whether it's a good decision for him to do so or not, as demonstrated in the first half).

That's two players who's ability to play the ball is being hampered. Ederson is stuck in position, Akanji is keeping his distance to not make a stupid mistake.

They are 1 point behind us, and haven't lost since the season restarted. So they are in this title race.

Arsenal are six points ahead of them with a game in hand and are twice the team United are. We’ll finish above them too, by quite a few points.

As bad as Wednesday. Really????? We gave the ball away too much but we controlled the game.

Hahaha not a chance they’re winning the league.

They can win it if offside rule is not applied to them.
