I'm leaning Ten Hag out. He's got to be intentionally tanking this. Taking our three best players off for scrubs.

Do people not know AWB was out for ages and Hojlund is the golden goose we need to keep fit for the rest of the season? Mainoo is a more questionable sub, but come on people. They were never going to play 90 minutes.

Half has been a non-event. So could have been worse.

This game is done.

Yep, zero threat from us now.

I have said for ages, we barely have any physicality in the team, we foul players, but in the wrong place. Nobody seems to know about when to foul or where to foul. We get knocked off the ball far too easily. You get the ball and it should be like it's your baby and you are protecting it with your life.

Thankfully, we compensate our lack of physicality with a lack of technical ability. Balance.

sixdwarf · Mar 17, 2024

This is depressing. I could take this if we had some kind of balls. But we lack passion. Lack defensive cohesion. Lack acceptable subs. This is an FA Cup quarter final and we just lack.

It's because he's being asked to do everything himself in midfield, against a Liverpool side that play at high intensity. We need another player, possibly 2 with similar attributes to him in midfield. Instead, it's McTominay, Bruno, and now Eriksen. We still haven't got a functional midfield. Mainoo is the midfield.

It is by design which is the most confounding thing.

Sorry, but the fecking subs alone in this match are a huge indicator that the manager hasn't a clue what he's doing. Sad to see, but it's hard to argue really.

Hojlund and AWB were back from injury. Mainoo was clearly gassed. There was no point in letting Mainoo in the field

DomesticTadpole · Mar 17, 2024

Haven't we still got Liverpool at OT in the league as well.

ETH just needs to go

Yep, agreed.

Any other wild takes, oh wise seer?

Oscar Bonavena · Mar 17, 2024

F**king training session for these cnuts at the moment, they have so much time and space on the ball.

But just you wait until we get Mount back. Then, then you will see.

Indeed. If we were to fluke a goal we do actually need to play another 30 mins... with a snail pace midfield

Exactly. We'll do them then

We were done the second that late first half goal went in.

Our whole operation was based on having a goal to work hard to defend.

Almost worked

Wing Attack Plan R · Mar 17, 2024

Why on earth is Mount not coming on? Can hardly do worse than Bruno and he's not on a yellow.

fps · Mar 17, 2024

Onana looks so cultured when he delicately chips the ball downfield to no-one.

Giggsy13 · Mar 17, 2024

Poor Mainoo, we need to find a reliable and younger no. 6 to pair with him next season or we’re going to run him into the ground.

Loon · Mar 17, 2024

This game is a watershed moment and it will likely be remembered for this 2nd half performance.

Miracle needed.

There’s no team that ever existed - even from those PED’d to the eyeballs - that can sustain maximum output sprints over 90 minutes; not even 60. You can’t output at that rate and not be gassed much sooner than later.

Too many teams at OT have more possession than us, the football we play is unsustainable

Dec9003 · Mar 17, 2024

This might be the most gutless second half I’ve seen us play, which is saying a lot after the last decade. We’ve not even made moments. Liverpool are making this look as easy as it is.

r0663664 · Mar 17, 2024

Again dominated by the away team. No joke, ETH, is that the best that you can do?

RedMarcus · Mar 17, 2024

Hard to see ETH lasting much longer if we go out. Nothing left to play for after today - no way we are making top 4.

Andycoleno9 · Mar 17, 2024

We created absolutely nothing in 2nd half. That is pathetic.

AndySmith1990 · Mar 17, 2024

I'm just reminiscing about that time Cantona scored the winner against these lot in the cup. Great times

Superunknown · Mar 17, 2024

Have we even had a shot in the second half?

pjaya · Mar 17, 2024

Liverpool is just toying with us now…at old Trafford. Such a sad sight

Paul778 · Mar 17, 2024

are guys now just padding their stats in the back lne.

Drifter said:

Agreed. Out of his depth.

Yanited__ · Mar 17, 2024

A lot of football is technical ability but a lot of it is also self belief, confidence and the urgency in how you play. We lack all of this.

We're 84 minutes in and it feels like we could be here for another 2 hours and not score. And that's not the United I grew up on.

Top 5 is wide open though. 6 points behind Spurs.

Rightnr · Mar 17, 2024

Now he brings in Diallo. What a clown we've got in charge :lol:

It’s funny that Conor Bradley and Quansah aka « Klopps Kids » are 20 and 21, ie older than Mainoo, Garnacho and Hojlund for instance

Sure. But a lot younger than the United players they're playing much better than like Lindelof, Varane, etc

And Bradley is playing brilliantly for any age group of players

JustCoco · Mar 17, 2024

Off topic.
Does anyone think Maguire's brain is also square?

Superunknown · Mar 17, 2024

Amad?! It's an Easter miracle.

Ahmer Baig · Mar 17, 2024

The team totally devoid of any idea. It all boils down to the manager.
