Granada 0:2 Manchester United

RedDevilRoshi · Apr 8, 2021

This ref has to be Mike Dean’s pen pal or something.

Constantly letting them kick our players all over the park and any Granada player that gets fouled by one of our players, they get penalised and given a yellow card.

Dan James making a brainless run, taking both himself and the defender into the space Greenwood is looking to run into.

Although both have been anonymous.

bosnian_red · Apr 8, 2021

They haven't created any chances (accidental post from a cross isn't a chance) and we have almost 70% possession with the lead. They're super pumped up obviously and the ref is letting them get away with fouls that he is giving us yellows for, but I'm not too worried. 2nd half I think we'll get another 1 at least. Just can't be dumb and give the ref an excuse to send someone off.

Agree but most others have also been useless, especially dan james

Longshanks · Apr 8, 2021

Not great, lots of sloppy play like playing a big sam team very direct playing for free kicks and corners.

Ref has been awful, rashford,bruno and pogba have all be kicked alot but its three of our players who have been booked, any euro game another terrible ref.

OnlyTwoDaSilvas · Apr 8, 2021

Somehow we have 3 bookings and they have none, despite 45 minutes of them twatting lumps out of us, Rashford in particular.

Shame we don't have someone like Fellaini on the bench, to bring on for the last 10 minutes to throw some elbows around.

Dan James can’t play football

Doing well to be making a career out of it then, isn't he?

Absolutely. Seems they brought the ref with them.
Sunday league standard.

Hughie77 · Apr 8, 2021

Great pass and great first touch and finish lovely goal, needed in a game like this where there not coming out much. They have to come out bit more in 2nd now. James should stay on theres going to be spaces opening up in 2nd . I hopewe take our own ref in the ring and knock these out, as the one on pitch is giving them everything.

DrRodo · Apr 8, 2021

Didnt know we where playing the spanish stoke

Verminator · Apr 8, 2021

It seems they have been set out to injure our players, and the ref is trying his best to make it happen.

Leg-End · Apr 8, 2021

James just doesn’t have a good football brain, it’s evident given he has pace to burn anyone and pull defenders away but he just ends up in everyone’s else’s way. It isn’t good enough at this level, I’m struggling to see how we don’t have a better option than him in this squad, young or not.

Ref is bollix. Every time we touch them they go down like they have been shot. Yet they are kicking the shit out of Rashford at every opportunity.

It seems bit deliberate the way the kick Rashford's ankle and ref doing nothing about it!!!!

We have taken a massive gamble on Rashford. However, that first half performance shows we needed to. James, again, looks like this kind of game is beyond him. Greenwood is going down blind alleys, Bruno's been quiet. Without Rashy showing a bit of clear mindedness we wouldn't be ahead. God willing we don't regret it if we get through. Can't see this team being able to go all the way without Rashford so we should all be praying for his health!

stu_1992 · Apr 8, 2021

1-0 is decent at this stage, but I'd want at least a goal lead ahead of the second leg so we could rest a few. Great pass for Rashford's goal and cool finish. Been an annoying game to watch though, between them being super defensive and all the fecking fouls. No idea how we have as many yellows as we do, and that they don't have even more!

And James? He did even less, so 9 men

yamo123x · Apr 8, 2021

Poor scrappy game to watch but isn't every game recently. They are a bunch of diving thugs

Concerned this ref may give Shaw pogba or MCt a 2nd yellow and that will turn the game.

Barring the goal front 4 very poor, need more.

RedTiger · Apr 8, 2021

They're gonna score a flukey goal on the break

Alemar · Apr 8, 2021

So bring on Diallo at half time

Jonno · Apr 8, 2021

Dull, but professional performance from United. We've had most of the ball, most of the chances and deserve the lead.

Hopefully we can get more shots on target and score one or two more.

Was one of rare occasions that standing still was the right call.

Anustart89 · Apr 8, 2021

Can’t really tell from this thread, what do we think of the ref’s performance?

MonkeysMagic · Apr 8, 2021

Nothing new but our players just can't pass and move quickly. All the more bizarre that Ole insists we play out from the back and if the goal has taught him anything it would be to mix up with going long at times.

And the ref deserves some sort of reward for displaying one of the most inept refreeing performance this side of the equator!

Rashford’s goal was almost identical to Kroos -> Viniscus last night.

Unbelievable we are on 3 bookings and they're on none.

it wasn’t meant to be salty! Perhaps I should have added a smiley.

didn’t hear it on commentary, mind you I didn’t even see the goal, so think everyone was sleep that half.

Fair enough. Btw i just read that naked guy run on the pitch. When was that??

These shitehawks are pissing me off. Dogged, sneaky, whingey, horrible bastards. I will 100% take a dirty win against them and this arsehole ref tonight. We've shown flashes in the middle part of that half. Mctominay getting into it a bit, Bruno and Pogba sharper. James and Mason need to sort themselves out. Another goal should do it for us.

What pisses me off is that we can't seem to trap quick passes. It's not even a recent thing, it's been like that for almost a flipping decade

Art · Apr 8, 2021

How is Dan James starting over Amad ? It just doesn't make sense. He plays with the maturity and decision making of a 14 year old.

Carrick can whip out the ipad with some tactical instructions for him, but it's just a slideshow of Marcos Rojo two-footers.

Scholesy going bright red when they talk about his wonder strike all those years ago :lol:

this man wasn’t made to be the centre of attention

You know they’re struggling for highlights when they have to talk about one of the pundits’ goals from 20 years ago.
