    4th place is our real target. Unless by some miracle we can improve as a defensive unit in the span of a few matches. Doubtful because this result is just confidence shattering.

    I think van gaal needs to drop one of the strikers to field an extra midfielder to protect our backline. Can't see any other way.

    I watched the game until United was 3:1 up and switched to Wolfsburg vs. Leverkusen and suddenly I see the 5:3 result for Leicester. What the hell happened here?

    non-existent penalty given to Leicester and after that we lost our heads.

    When a refereeing decision as bad as that first one was goes against you at a time where you're thinking about making changes, how could it not have such a negative effect? Unreal amount of bullshit. LVG will have to work hard now to restore confidence along the back-line. It has to be said, Rafael is alright and everything but he's so fecking unlucky I'd probably never play him again just for superstition.

    People will go on about you can't blame the ref's for losing and all that, well because MAN UTD lost LOLZ. But sorry, that was a shithouse performance from Clattenburg today and it completely changed the game.
     
    Cool down lads (Although I accept I find it hard myself as well). It is pathetic but at then end of the day, it's just another game. We'll come back stronger in the next game.

    If this helps buying a quality CB in winter or summer, I am glad to take the loss.
     
    We capitulated after that shambles of a decision by the referee... but then we were still 3-2 up we shouldn't of bottled that

    Clattenburg is not the reason we've fecked this up from 3-1 up to 5-3 down.

    We were looking good value and then he gave the penalty plus another and red for that penalty. How is that not changing the game?

    I hope the cnut loses his job.

    So there's nothing Rafael could have done differently?
    No other pace he could have run at?
    No other spot he could have run to?

    Blackett was there.

    Like I said, he could have given him a wider berth, say a few metres, but all in all this was a disgraceful decision, and Rafael should be allowed to try to get between Vardy and the goal. If you really would argue for this kind of caution from defenders, football would change dramatically.

    Can't blame Rafael for the first penalty as he hardly touched the player. Doesn't excuse bottling it and defending like the team is brainless.

    Yep agree but the ref is a disgrace and swung the momentum in their favour but we should/need to be more resolute. But still doesn't mask how shit he was and how much we caved against a little adversity. Great now listening to 2 ex Liverpool players!

    Nobody is denying that. Clattenberg has to take the blame though, we were in total control with a 2 goal cushion pushing forwards with confidence and had them retreating into their own half fearing an absolute battering.

    He gifted them a goal and all of a sudden they are 1 goal behind and throwing players forward with nothing to lose. Genuinely one of the worst refereeing decisions I have ever seen. Inexplicable and he should be held accountable for it, however he won't. He'll slip off to his room, out the back door and into a cloak of silence and protection under the FA.

    this. Never have i agreed more with a post. The main reason why we lost was Clattenburg. Defence was poor, but not before the penalty. They throwed in the kicthen sink and we lost it. Clattenburg was the initiator though.

    3-1. We had momentum.

    Awful penalty decision at home, 3-2, they gain belief (players and crowd), we're rattled. 3-3, bad defending...even more rattled. 4-3, gave up. 5-3, no words.

    Clattenberk handed them that. But we were sat around feeling sorry for ourselves rather than putting things right.
     
    but surely Ashley young and Valencia played a part in all of this:wenger:,somewhere,somehow:wenger:
     
    Severe mental collapse. We thought we had it won at 1-3 and simply stopped. Poor performances all around. Rojo was horrendous. Looking forward to what van Gaal has to say

    We can blame the officials if we want but that would be avoiding the blunt truth that we have been utterly dreadful.

    Van Gaal needs to stop f*cking about with systems and get the team properly organised. The buck for this debacle stops with him.

    Agree , the only thing more embarrassing about the performance is the whinging about the officials, people stuck in total denial to what is going on and thinking that a different ref would somehow make us less crap.

    So what if a decision went against us, shit happens , but to collapse like that is still unforgivable but unfortunately in these times not totally unexpected.
     
    Well... that was not fun. Clattenburg is a joke and clearly influenced the outcome of the game. The capitulation, from RVP and Rooney through to the full-on panic mode at the back, was embarrasing. A lot of work to be done, yet.
     
    Well, the opposite to how I felt after coming back from 3-0 against Tottenham 13 years ago.

    Which of those goals would Courtois have saved???
    Click to expand...
    Once again I'm not necessarily saying that De Gea had a particularly bad game. However you must admit that so far during the season De Gea has not looked like a player with a lot of confidence and he never looks like saving these one-on-ones or penalty's.
    But to answer your question I think courtois would have saved the 4-3 as he showed saving the 1-on-1 with Nugent when Chelsea played Leicester.
     
    The referee triggered the comeback but the defending has been shambolic. They looked nervous in first half but simply capitulated in second half. I don't understanding the criticism of de Gea; what should he have done when defenders are refusing to mark people and getting bumped off the ball in front of him?

    Rojo was poor, Blackett made some poor decisions from 3-3, Rafael is a defensive liability, Smalling thinks he's Rio without the defending part.

    Rafael did the same against Bayern. His fanboys forgot his mistakes while he was injured it seems.

    He made a mistake being fouled? He hardly touched the lad when he fell like a sack of shit.

    Of course he was. Both penalties never should of happened due to fouling.
     
    After the first penalty we crumble to pieces. A penalty who shouldn't have been given to be honest, but still is no excuse for this. This show how mentally weak our team is to concede 3 goals after a shady penalty.
     
    fecking shambles defending as a team, not just the defenders. Dread to think how we'll bend over to a good attack like Chelsea or City.

    Back into the bottom half of the table. :nervous:
     
    What exactly did he do. Their was hardly any contact, never a pen, a complete dive.

    How much clearer does it need to be?
     
    We should be able handle teams better than we did but Clattenburg changed the match big time and brought their fans into it. DeLaet should not have been on the pitch and then the two calls on the penalties.
