United (H) Post Match Thread

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Aw, it would be embarrassing for a lot of teams in this league if we had Messi man. United would have definitely been out of sight. Neymar is a no go so I just hope one of the young lads step up or we will have to splash a lot of cash to get someone in who can be relied upon in high leverage moments.

P.s Messi Hat-Trick

Outside of neymar and Messi (who are no go's) who do you think would be an upgrade on Sergio

Strange as it sounds weeks like this will be the making of our club, you learn a hell of a lot more from defeat than you do in a comfy 4-0 win.

The game against Liverpool was more disappointing than this one.

But they didn’t learn from Liverpool which was 3 days earlier. Didn’t learn a fucking thing with that capitulation.

Two capitulations in one week is enough. Pep should have shuffled the pack sooner but waited again to react! Excellent come back by United, and I say it with gritted teeth. We threw it away and showed the world how weak we are when the game is tough. Sorry pep you did shit today with your team line up and subs. Roll on Tuesday and just wish the gamble was worth it...

i thought we needed 5 pts

we do with goal difference being +13 on utd......however 6 to make sure....

Why do you think we'll be without Fernandinho at Spurs? Did he get sent off and I missed it? The rule on umpteen yellows getting a ban stopped being in force after the Everton game.

Sorry but its after 32 games, and guess what. Today was 32nd game.

 

[Proy]

The only thing I thought Pep did wrong was in not making the changes at half time. It was obviously a tired side, and by the time the changes were made, the game was gone

I expected he would bring on one of Jesus or Aguero, and possibly KDB for Silva.

As it is we are absolutely miles ahead of Utd, and that showed today. Overall, we should be very happy with where we're heading as a football club

Let's get this title won and then enjoy the Summer and make next season even better. After Liverpool, I just really want this season to end now.

So at 2 nil and coasting at half time, where it should have been 5, you'd have 'made changes'

Right then.

Handball had to be a pen, would have been a tap in. Oh wait, wasn’t it Sterling? Correction, would have been a goal kick. Second correction - might have been a throw in.

Third it could have gone through is legs and the scum scored on the break. I’m annoyed with sterling but also want to give him a man hug

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

The handball has to be deliberate and their is a proviso that if the arm is in an unnatural position that can be classed as( such as making your arms wide anticipating a cross)

Slipping over and trying to head the ball but missing and it hitting your outstretched arm is a bloody huge grey area unless you can prove young slipped and in that fraction of a second he thought I will stretch my arm out just in case I miss it with my head.

Is an outstretched arm natural when you slip? That is the only question

It is if you move it to coincide with the travel of the ball!

TBF I said exactly the same at half time
