Manchester United 2:0 Newcastle United

P-Nut · Feb 26, 2023

Thought we grew into the half after starting sluggishly which is to be expected after how many games we've played.

Newcastle haven't really looked threatening, so them having to come at us second half should play right into our hands.

I'd go double change Sabitzer and AWB for Fred and Dalot, no need to take any risks now

I fecking hate this british attitude of foreigners cant do any showboating. If that was Jack Grealish they wouldnt have said a fecking word

Yep. I still remember what was said of Nani, specially against Arsenal

UnitedRepublic · Feb 26, 2023

Antony you filthy street baller keep it going.

eire-red · Feb 26, 2023

Kill the game in the second half and let these cnuts crawl back into their hole.

It’s insane. Credit to Alex Telles?

mitchmouse · Feb 26, 2023

At this rate, Casemiro could be the PFA an writers player of the year. varane and martinez brilliant as usual and antony is doing well and working hard. weg also chasing down almost everything

RedDevilRoshi · Feb 26, 2023

Newcastle will bring Isak on for probably Joelinton.

Will see how it goes and if they start swarming us, maybe get Sabitzer on to bring some control
in the midfield. We also have Sancho & Garnacho on the bench if needed so there are options there for Ten Hag to use.

Next goal is going to be crucial.

always_hoping · Feb 26, 2023

Thankfully VAR gave the 1st goal and lucky deflection on the 2nd leg. We'll take the breaks lads long overdue. Now close it out 2nd half and nothing nervy please.

bosnian_red · Feb 26, 2023

Casemiro is such a fecking big game player. Him and Varane. Something about having those 2 just gives you so much confidence that they know what they're doing

Telsim · Feb 26, 2023

Yeah, yeah, waste time now, come on. Utterly unpleasant team. Can give it, but can't take it. I'd love to see us beat them.

Love the nous of this team. Also Casemiro is a monster of a player and how we ever managed without a player like him is baffling. He's everywhere.

We didn't

It'll never be given by VAR ever again

You can slap players in the face, right in front of the referee, be given a red card only for VAR to overturn it now apparently. Ridiculous.

Surely Joelinton should have been booked for that high punt towards Antony. Disgusting.

For me it was more about the subsequent push

well after he scored he was going on about how expensive he was for his age and then says we took lead through the veteran at HT.

Ronaldo's ego said:
Imagine how annoying Neville would be if he hadn’t been associated with the club for 30+ years.

Funnily enough, the fact that he WAS associated with us for 30+ years, is the reason why he's being such a tit as a pundit.
Trying so hard to be unbiased, but dials it 150% the other way.

LordSpud · Feb 26, 2023

The Weghorst pass for Rashford was brilliant.

Newcastle are truly the Atletico of England. Trying all kinds of shithouse tactics.

Get Dalot and Fred off. Fred I think they are targeting for a red. Dalot I'm just worried about just in case.

Samoerai Jack · Feb 26, 2023

Great half. Dare I say Weghorst was looking good? Some other excellent performances from Antony, Casemiro and yet again Rashford. Really encouraging!

Yup and wish Tripper were on the other side for us.

Raoul · Feb 26, 2023

All were missing is a third goal and an Antony seal dribble.

Tiber · Feb 26, 2023

Newcastle are playing well so delighted to be comfortably ahead

AshRK · Feb 26, 2023

Top performance. Let us not be complacent and score one more and finish them off

Rojofiam · Feb 26, 2023

I already hate Newcastle more than most of the top 6...this score at half-time serves them well.

Had a feeling all day that one of Casemiro or Antony is gonna score. Hope it comes true.

Spot on prediction.

By the way, sign Weghorst.

What's he saying?

Essentially sympathising with Joelinton for pummeling Antony because of his showboating, saying he'd have done the same

Eric_the_Red99 · Feb 26, 2023

Fred and Dalot off please. A red could really feck things up for us here. It helps that they’ve actually been two of our weaker players in the first half.

AWB and Sabitzer on please. Then Rashford off for Garnacho a bit later

Can't put into words how much I love our shithouses

What many pundits don’t understand who call out Antony for this is — ETH wants nothing more than Antony holding up the ball and drawing two defenders to him, even if it just results in Antony passing back to Dalot/Case/Bruno.

We get to move up the entire team and it opens up the defense.

we didn't! haven't really since Keano - that's been a huge part of the problem(s)

Mike Smalling · Feb 26, 2023

So much positive from that first half. Had never expected to be two goals up!

Antony running rings around Dan Burn was something else. Feck the haters.

Yup. They've done feck all. Havent played in a week and cant create anything.

They're not shouting any more are they?! :lol:

Irrational. · Feb 26, 2023

The only way Newcastle have a chance is if their shithousery gets one of our players sent off. They tried to do Fred at the end of that half.

ETH needs to be wise to that and sub off both Dalot and Fred around the 60 min mark for AWB and Sabitzer.

FriedClams · Feb 26, 2023

Anyone have a gif of Antony before weghorst left footed attempt? @GifLord

What Antony did was amazing ball retention, only clueless dinosaurs would criticize him for it. Dribbling to keep the ball ≠ Showboating

I can't watch the game unfortunately but isn't this exactly what Grealish gets critiqued for all the time? Keeping the ball, drawing mistakes?

Think it was Neville, said about his age, weekly wage and whether he came just for a holiday

caid · Feb 26, 2023

We should bring on Sabitzer and Wan Bisakka. If getting someone sent off is the plan to going behind then keep them busy for another 45.

Cutch · Feb 26, 2023

Antony loves playing against Dan Burn

Withnail · Feb 26, 2023

Fairly outrageous Newcastle only got one booking in that half.
