Manchester United 3:1 Burnley

Pronewbie · Dec 30, 2021

Burnley are making us look good. They’re going down aren’t they.

Twisted Nerve · Dec 30, 2021

Can't we just swap slabhead with the pole that holds up the corner flag?

Anustart89 · Dec 30, 2021

Moss adding two minutes to a first half, did someone break their neck or something?

SAFMUTD · Dec 30, 2021

McTominay has been great, MOTM so far.

choccy77 · Dec 30, 2021

Have Amazon lowered crowd volume or is OT that quiet tonight?

He's fine against bottom tier teams, let's not big up mctominay when it's very likely he will be found out against the better sides.

Even if he only does it against bottom tier teams, which is nonsense, it's 100% more teams than Cafe favourite Donny manages.

If we can get a quality defensive mid in January, we need to let Scott loose on opposition defenses more often, he is so much better when he has the license to play higher up the pitch.

I agree. McT looks dangerous when let off the leash but the sort of player who will do what he is told even if it doesn't show his skill sets off at their best.

ronaldo is like a trusty old golden retriever. he is the apple of your eye. he used to go everywhere with you but the years have caught up with him. where he used to bound alongside you on a walk, he now spends most of his time laying on the rug in front of the fire, farting himself awake and soiling the floor whenever the doorbell startles him. just as you think his time is done and you start to load the shotgun, he brings his favourite toy up to you and places it in your lap and waits for a head stroke. you wipe a tear from your eye as you remove the cartridges for another day.

This made today's match thread worth slogging through!

Bastian · Dec 30, 2021

How is Cork not yellow carded there??

James35 · Dec 30, 2021

I wish players would stop passing to Maguire.

He doesn't need to block it, he just need to do the ABC's of defending there, which is to force Lennon outwards to the corner flag. Any shot from the outside should be easy for De Gea.

Under no circumstances should he be allowed to shoot on the inside of Maguire.

That's what Maguire was trying to do, he was just jockeying too far away from Lennon. Needed to close the space between them

Sounds a bit quiet on the radio as well.

babablue · Dec 30, 2021

Bailly made the mistake, but I don't think it's too much to ask for Maguire to block that. If Bailly didn't think he had cover behind him, he probably won't have attacked as aggressively.

Seems rather muted.

forgot to give the signal for someone to start warming his half time pasties so added a couple on.

He’s softer. Goes down easier, never puts in a challenge, refuses to actually put his body on the line and block shots.

And yet, somehow, he's better. Curious, that.

Didn't even notice that Bruno's not playing

You’re right. Don’t miss his moaning face and body language at all.

Kaos · Dec 30, 2021

Why are our corners so predictably shit? :lol:

Might as well just give it up for an opposition GK and hope to press that.

Judas · Dec 30, 2021

We're 3-1 at half time, everyone would have taken this at kickoff. Hopefully we can score a few more in the second half.

Old Yella plagiarism hits a new peak!

Out of position, he will be.

If he plays in this role, he is clearly a far superior player than given credit for.

Cheers mate, too good not to spread.

TsuWave · Dec 30, 2021

Mason sent Lennon to Bolivia with that step-over

laughtersassassin · Dec 30, 2021

Cavani not done a thing today.

Frank Grimes · Dec 30, 2021

Shaw and Mctominay are.playing well. Cavani working back in midfield is important.

KennyBurner · Dec 30, 2021

I love you greenwood. We need to always ply him.

Trouble is we are stuck playing Maguire every game as Lindelof is injured, Bailly error and injury prone and Varane injury prone. Jones is just a no.

I wish someone would come in and displace him so we don't have to endure him. Who's that kid who plays at CB that looked pretty competent in the CL game recently? If we could get Victor or Varane back I'd play him to give Maguire the firm message his poor play will not be tolerated

McT been fantastic

Our best player so far.

Adamsk7 · Dec 30, 2021

I hate it when our players play tiny one yard passes to each other when there is literally no need.

Mental

Offside · Dec 30, 2021

The corner situation has been in decline for years to the point where we literally can’t score from one. Must improve.

That’s blatantly Bailly’s error

So, when players fecks up (and Bailly did), everything after that doesn't count? We can look away from the fact that 80 mil worth defender AGAIN looked awful on one on one situation. It wasn't like he was out of position. He was right there to deal with attacker

Better, let’s keep this up.

Scott having a great game fair play. Look better for having AWB and Shaw back in the lineup like I expected

Yeah bit weird because TRA sounded loud enough for the first 20 minutes.

minoo-utd · Dec 30, 2021

Good half. Mctominay, Sancho and Greenwood give us good energy. Maguire needs to be benched.

We're not brilliant or anything, but certainly a lot better than the abysmal performances against Norwich and Newcastle. Can't say I'm missing Bruno or Rashford

Refreshing not to see the same mistakes repeatedly. Hope others get the nod ahead of Rashford when the inevitable subs start

Has there ever been a time a team dropped their captain? Does anyone know of any instances?
