A quiet start so far. That move was better though.

Close. mctominay playing so advanced is a bit odd.
They just didOur temp against Newcastle and again today is too slow.A lot of Reading supporters round here.I think everybody has been poor so far but Fred has been particularly bad, they are sidestepping his press so easily and his passing has been off.This is a good test for the players with question marks hanging over their future. It’s always a risk playing a group like this but there are several stalwarts in the spine. They should win but it’s individual performances that really counts.
For real? He has been bang average so far in my mindYoung protesting against every foul is ridiculous
Fortunately they're all in the book thread today.Mata a passenger again19 min
Penalty to United or off-side?
Fred puts the ball in the net after Mata was fouled in the box but the referee Stuart Attwell hasn't decided if it's off-side, a penalty or a goal.
Time for a VAR decision. Old Trafford waits.Pen you cnutOh feck off. Get VAR in.
Because you need to press in numbers and nobody else is so it leaves Fred exposed.Stonewall pen surelyOur pressing is terrible, so disjointed. Reading finding it really easy to play out from the back.Surely thats a pen on mata?VAR in this?Great play.what?Have we got VAR with this?Alexis chance
Surely a pen?Should be a pen before the offside thatThat's a pen if it's offside.Now Mike Phelan is awake.Then it's a pen surely?Mata is so dire for a supposed senior player.Fred is offside, but isn't Mata fouled?
PassengerFeck sakesOoooh VARThat’s a pelantyYeah could be a penalty, Fred marginally offside.VAR sucks if pen isn't given.feck offfJon Moss apparently is the VAR ref
Let's also take context into matter before judging him. Goals and assists isn't all there is to a great performance.
But we scored, so play on.21 min
It's a penalty!
VAR says Mata was fouled by Richards as he made the pass to Fred (who was off-side) but the foul happened first. The Spaniard will take the spot kick.- Status
