I’m puzzled that there’s even a discussion, except by those in arrant bad faith.
The behaviour of the two defenders and Ed is clearly influenced by what Rashford is doing.
He is interfering!

That said, we’re not playing well, and haven’t been for quite some time. It’s another discussion.

I agree we are not playing well mate but this kind of thing has to stop it happens not just to us bent as F

I told myself that I was not going to have an opinion after that stupid first goal, but I don't think it influenced the outcome of the game. It has been subpar for the last few games now.

Maybe maybe not mate but it's a terrible decision.

Would rather we had gone gung ho

Very easy to say that with hindsight but if I recall some of our matches against Manyoo and even Liverpool where we went gung-ho, we were torn apart by quick transitions.

The better strategy would have been to manage the game better after going one up. Maybe midfield could have been reinforced by sacrificing Haaland and then after few minutes we bring in another midfielder or defender to keep an eye on Rashford but sincerely we did a lot of things right up till the point we scored.

Although not at our best a SCANDALOUS descision has done for us they dont get the 2nd without that.We miss Stones and Dias bigtime.We also need to start crossing the ball to the big man as the intricate passing is not working.Something is missing at the moment hopefully Pep has the answers.

Unpopular opinion
Most of our team is too old

I'd qualify that and say most of our best players are getting too old. In previous iterations of the team the ageing players like David Silva, Yaya were being augmented and, ultimately, replaced by the next generation like KDB, Gundo and Bernardo, Fernandinho by Rodri. The notable exception was Sergio.

I'm not convinced that Foden, Grealish, Palmer and Phillips are remotely capable of filling the boots of our previous generations. And that's before we start on the defence.

That said, a few tweaks here and there and they'd look better than they do now.

Ah well, at least we’re not Liverpool. And on that yesterday is forgotten and it won’t consume me like it did the rest of yesterday.

New day. Best apologise to the missus for being an absolute bell end. This fucking game, man.

 

[Dirty Harry]

This. The opinion of former players (for either club, incidentally) is worthless. Virtually all neutrals agree we got well and truly shafted. Some may be enjoying it, but they agree on it.

Spoke to lots of fans from various clubs and everyone is unanimous we got shafted, while the giddies are laughing, hardly believing their luck

Even folk who ain’t got much interest in the game can see it was a very poor decision but hey it’s fooking United so no doubt it will be swept under the carpet

Tbf even a few of my united mates have said they’re embarrassed by it.

 

[blueinsa]

I’m even more behind the lads after yesterday.

If that wasn’t proof finally that most weeks we are playing against far more than 11 players on a pitch I will never know what is?

To have had the success we have had over the years against the bias and cheating we have already faced is a miracle.

Make no mistake, it ain’t going away anytime soon either.
