    Feck off Ronaldo, you will miss as always. Why do they let him shot free kicks, why? Did not score in ages.
    There you go... shit FK.
    Dear God, when is this shit gonna end.
    Can't stand these snowflakes, no balls, no brain, big egos, huge wages.

    Look at the Brighton squad. Look at the United squad. Too many excuses being made for a manager who isn’t showing anything.
     
    Really really disappointed with that first half, the results recently haven't been good enough but at least there were signs in the performance that we were improving and hopefully that would lead to things "clicking" at some point but that felt like a big step backwards.
     
    Think when McFred is playing this badly, you sacrifce one of them for Pogba, as it's not really a risk. Neither are defending either, so who cares?

    Rashford through the middle, Mata for Elanga, Pogba for Fred and go 4231. At least it'd be different.
     
    At least the previous lame draws we could point to missing a fair few chances.
    Today is just a nothing game, a classic miserable midweek February game.
     
    Shock horror Fred and Mctom as a midfield pair equals shit build up play
    Anderson was canny crap but one thing he had was a desire to go forward
    I just watched Mctom stand still for a good 5-10 seconds without pressure and decide the only thing on was back to McGuire
    Feck off Mctom and Fred

    Behind your humour I can see the anger building up. That's where I want our players right now. I want them to be really fecking angry. Absolutely apoplectic with rage. I want them to fecking destroy the opposition.

    I want Roy Keane to charge onto the pitch and headbutt Ronaldo to assert dominance. Well, maybe that's a bit far but I want something more than whatever the hell this choreographed performance is meant to be.

    If we're lucky, we might get an angry emoji in a Twitter or Instagram post after the game.

    Or, one of our players might even mutter to themselves when they get subbed off.

    That's about it. We ain't getting more than that. Not with this lot.
     
    Well that wasn't great.

    Well.. lately we've started decently and then fallen off a cliff.

    Maybe today we're switching it up and doing the latter part early, and finishing on a high?

    :smirk:
     
    I think we asked for this with our January window.

    I'm sure it didn't give the players much confidence seeing a chunk of the squad loaned and no one brought in

    Not sure what we where trying to do at all.
     
    One of the very few instances post Ole where I'm watching the game.

    I thought Rangnick was the Godfather of pressing? Why are we so limp, scared and tactically clueless? Brighton by far the better team, pass through our midfield and get to our box without even trying. We have no clue what to do with a football once we have it. Not like we do anything without it, either. Everyone backing off, a half arsed late challenge or two. This looks even worse than Ole in his last days.

    Need Rashford on for Elanga immediately.
    Probably Fred off for Pogba, although McTom's not exactly bossing it either.
     
    Ronaldo never even hits the target on his free kicks, let alone scores any, so why is he still taking them?

    Bruno milked it, but it's a definite foul, Bissouma just hits him on the side of the head. Booking at least.

    And considering he should've had one earlier when he took out Bruno on the counter with an obvious tactical foul he should be walking a tightrope. Instead, he's free to keep committing fouls in the middle of the park without risking anything yet. Meanwhile, McTominay will breathe near Maupay and get booked.
     
    I have bad news for everyone who does not watch United weekly. We are better in the first half...
     
    The fact that we have posters out in-force every week slating the back four (Maguire & Shaw in particular) is just mind-boggling.

    So far in this game, our entire back four have been excellent, absolutely superb. Be under no illusion, with the absolute shambles going on in-front of them, if they weren't all excellent players, we'd be two/three down now already.

    Inevitably, they can't be foot-perfect for 90-minutues, and I guarantee come the end of this match, there will be a 'how do we sell Luke Shaw' thread open because somebody claims he's half an inch too far to the left (or some other sh**e) when we concede the Brighton winner
     
    This game to me feels like the players are just deflated and can't do any of the positive stuff we at least had in the other games. No energy, no build up, nothing. Just so flat.
     
    Judging by the comments, I'm glad I'm watching PSG : Real Madrid instead. :lol: Can't say I didn't expect it.
     
    I can't see this match anywhere and am listening to the radio online.
    Both commentaries I'm switching between have described Utd as a complete mess in every department, bar DDG.
     
    I have defended Ralf a lot but surely if he wants to press then why does he keep starting the likes of Ronaldo and Mctomminay, it doesn’t make sense

    Lingard
     
    Are these guys dumb enough to think if they down tools they might get rid of RR?

    He's literally heading upstairs and will be telling them who to sell and buy. He's subliminally criticised plenty of this squad, it's just a shame he can't be more direct in public, because you know he would.
