Bruno still has the mentality that if he knows he's going to lose the ball in a stupid area, go down and claim a foul.
He must not realise that VAR has pretty much killed that trick.
It's just complacency. For Rashford to allow him to trot past unchallenged is pathetic, he was obviously winding down for half time.
And how bad a footballer is McTominay? That "pass" to Hojlund and then the next time we have an overload he decides to run across MacAllister and take a foul as he was scared to try another pass.
This team would be so much better with another player of Mainoo's quality in the middle, rather than McT or a geriatric Casemiro.We had the warning with the offside goa.
Disgraceful last 5 mins.Decent half until the cruel deflection. This is still there for us - just hope the team can come out with the same intensity in the second half.As soon as rashford stopped tracking back, we started to have problems. We will never be successful with him.Brilliant 30 minutes, then slowly trailed off, then completely shit the bed.
Bit unlucky as well. What matters now is how we go into the second half.Inconsistent reffing strikes again.
Man Utd being inconsistent isn't an issue(well it is, but you know), but refs are trained to be consistent and should be. It's ridiculous at this point.This mental weakness once opposing team equalises is an established pattern. Somebody needs to give them belief.
You're not seriously blaming Onana for that are you?
100% a foul given 5+ times in every EPL game. Just not a foul when it benefits Liverpool.
It’s the same suicidal football we’ve seen all season. There’s no control.I am done with ETH's method. He really think he got Barcelona, Madrid, City squad. Passing from behind with a idiotic goalkeeper and defenders who stress when the ball comes at their feet. Really? ETH deserve to lost this game. What a stupid manager. Never seen such a team, weak manager and weak players.Liverpool not even entertaining to watch, but switching from left to right down the wings seems to be highly effective for them.
His hand eye coordination is poor, hence why the ball rebounds off the bottom of his hand/wrist and is always blocked back into danger.Few clubs can dominate a half like us and be lucky not to be 3-1 down.
Was it hell. Weak as shit for Bruno to go down like that.It's super annoying that we crumbled like that after starting so well. Mainoo a huge plus so far. Has been the best player on the pitch.Absolutely gave two goals away for being lazy for the first one, Rashford/Bruno) should have tried harder to put pressure on Quansa they were both lazy and just let him run into the box, then some stupid defending all round with a few minutes to go and just conceding a goal. These are our major issues full stop,Hate that the entire defence just stand still with the ball waiting for Liverpool to press them. We're not good enough to play through that so what is the thinking there?
How can you say this after our best half all season and basically playing Liverpool off the park. How is it on the manage that he’s got brain dead players. Just use your head ffs.
edit: sorry quoted the post!
He didn't clatter him from behind, though
Unable to contain pressure, maybe too many hidings have meant they have lost a lot of belief.
Liverpool's equaliser was coming 5 minutes prior and I was hoping United could go to half time but alas..
Why? What's happening next season?Inexcusable. 2 goals in 4 mins
We had a good 30 mins or so
No, It was a good save given the power and how close to the goal it was hit, he did well to get solid hand to it.
Trace that goal back to AWB running in a circle into his own corner with the ball.Rashford again for the first, just let a player run round him - a under 21 player!
Bruno, the worst captain I've ever seen - both are the epitome of every thing wrong with this team.
Not going to blame the manager, but pissing about at the back as one of the worst team in the league against a press against the best pressing team in the league is amateur hour and they scored twice from it, one being offside by a shoulder.I am so sick of playing deep with "quick transition" against every team. I would rather watch Lvg's endless passing than this. Sure, we created some good chances with this setup but sitting deep against Liverpool at OT? Come on, ffs!
What, the first? Did you see it went off Mainoo? He had zero chance.Marcus better wake the F up or we need to be loud about it.Feck off Bruno.....Captain Nobody.
It was indeed time to move on from Dave. Probably should have bought someone who was better though, rather than another mediocre keeper. Which is what Onana is.
That said, I don't think he did anything wrong for either goal today.Very disappointing. Soft foul on Bruno but certainly a foul.
But that doesn't excuse the way we shat it after their first. Looked like we were hoping we could just slowly pass it around the back four for four minutes of extra time. Daft play, heads went down.
Needed to keep taking the game to them at that point.What kind of coach instructs his team to play out of defence against the best pressing team in the world, with a technically abysmal RB like Wan Bissaka?
Agree. Casual play. Got what he deserved.What are we trying to accomplish when we get pressed into our own corner flag every game?We are just piss poor off the ball. Although the first half was even most of Liverpools chances came from us being half asleep, whereas we had to work hard for most of our openings - which we have done well. But you can’t be so open defensively, with players waltzing about not covering their space / man and expect to beat Liverpool.Gonna be 5 or 6 this.
Promising start but when we reverted to type dropping 20 yards deeper and still having massive gaps the writing was on the wall.
Compounded by our captain determining that instead of trying to protect/ not lose the ball on the edge of our box, he'd just lazily throw himself down at any contact and assume he'd get a free kick. Deserve to be behind when that's the person we have to represent us as captain- Status
