    Passing and movement off and on the ball today has been so poor, instead of releasing a quick pass the player in possession just dawdles and gets crowded out all the time.

    You mean the subs that were made after 3-3?

    Thought Januzaj was brought on after 3-2 or something? I don't know, I knew it'd turn to shit so I turned over. Subs were still dire. Why wasn't Rooney brought off for Mata? Or Rooney shifted upfront for Falcao/Van Persie instead of bringing Januzaj on? Di Maria was making quick, strong and direct runs all the fecking time, so he brings him off.

    Shambles this. Thought we were back when it was 3-1. The defence just can't keep it together and it's ridiculous. No quality what so ever back there.
     
    Oh yeah this one game a week thing is great. The players still look fecked and we are still getting shit results. Disgraceful.

    Rojo is the 2nd version of Buttner. Always up the field and never in position to defend.

    Clearly a centre back and not a fullback by trade. With Blackett out I suppose he gets a run in the centre now. Might actually be a good thing because Luke shaw needs to play at left back.
     
    I mean, he literally isn't applying the same standard of offence to Us as them.

    Slight nudge on Leicester player, blows up give free kicks, signals a pen.

    Rugby challenges on our players, no that's fine, carry on.
     
    Let's not forget their first goal, with the ball that went out.
     
    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.

    For those mouthing Clattenburg a certain Chelsea match comes to memory where he was hailed as a brilliant ref by you lot. :wenger:

    You mean the one where he should've sent Torres off in the first-half, before finally doing so in the second-half for something that wasn't really a booking? Hardly a match to be proud about tbh.
     
    Oh well here's our answer to competing against a team who plays with a high tempo. God help us when we play someone that's actually good.
     
    Clattenburg changed the momentum of the game at 3-1 and that momentum just got bigger and bigger afterwards. Terrible decision, on the other hand we completely imploded
     
    When I play and get pushed, I don't look for a foul. I get up and play on until I hear a whistle. Maybe Rafael should give it a try.
     
    cannot get my head round what just happened there.

    Coasting at 3-1, so Twattenburg thought he'd try and make it interesting with an absolutely scandalous ignoring of a blatant foul.

    The rest, bloody hell.

    What was Blackett doing for goal 4? Where was everyone else?
    And 2 penalties and a red card, just says it all

    Will we ever be able to field our first choice centre backs at once? Now Evans and Blackett both out!
     
    Looks like Leicester is going to spend the rest of the game just nutmegging our players. Interesting.

    Vardy fouled players in the build up to both penos, them not being blown is his fault. As is De Laet being on the pitch. Some of the worst reffing I've seen in ages.

    Blackett stood with no footing, he was shoven away way too easily and if he had done better the ball would be cleared. Though yes, i agree it should have been a fk. Still stupid of Blackett to go in for a tackle when the angle was way easier for De Gea to save than for him to tackle.

    Vardy (& ref) fecked Rafael over for their first pentalty.
    Doesn''t change the fact that Rojo hasn't had control over Vardy thorughout the game and should've been one of the people subbed, LVG didn't see it that way.

    You simply can't blame the referee for not showing De Laet out, refs make such decisions all the time both ways. It's Uniteds fault for not defending better today all in all.

    Yeah, how dare he get fouled like that.

    Are you incapable of analyzing two individual events? Yes, he should've had a freekick. In the end, he still gave them a penalty that shouldn't have been either, just like the freekick.

    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.

    It's not about blaming Rafael. But he's not blameless. As much as the referee cocked up and the player dived, he could have avoided what happened. Blackett was there blocking the goal too.

    I don't see what's wrong with not thinking he's completely blameless.
    Thinking he's not blameless doesn't mean one completely blames him.
