Manchester United 1:1 West Ham United

Can't recall us doing a single comeback in the same game under Ole.

The players will be sulking and be even more insecure in the second half, game over.

Whoever doesn’t blame Pogba for that are the ones with the agenda. I’d take a punch, let alone ball to the face if it meant I got paid week in week out to play for Manchester United when the stakes are so high.

He is world class but not exempt from blame.

All good and well and I am sure if you offered pogba to stand there and inform him beforehand that there is a ball coming to his face and weigh up the stakes he would be prepared for it.

unfortunately when you get a rocket straight at you when you least expect it you don’t always have the time and information to override instinct.

Pogba to score 2 screamers and redeem himself in the 2nd half.

Yeah, I played twice a week before lockdown. When it is coming towards my face, it is quicker to move my head down so it hits my forehead than bring my arms up to handball it.

When I was 8 years old I would handball it. But I grew up.

Badman. When that CTE hits *chef’s kiss*

Really think we'd be in a much better place if half this lot hadn't played and lost on Sunday

rooney2009 · Jul 22, 2020

We look totally burnt out
He has played basically the same team
Come on Utd
Let’s smash them in the next 45mins

Who asked you?

Will quickly exit the thread, can see how this could turn out

just because I think West Ham are looking the better side doesn’t mean I want them to win. I have a strong dislike for West Ham and a soft spot for Man Utd, I’m watching in hope that you win

Clear penalty, no point arguing.

So say the rules, sure, but punishing a person for protecting his head in what I can only assume was an entirely natural reaction, is certainly worth arguing over.

How the f can you say this after that absolute shambolic 1st half?

Half time talk does wonders sometimes. And it is WH.
But in truth, if we can't win by 3 or more then draw is enough. And ffs, we will not lose against WH surely

But you dont have time to think 'oh a ball is coming towards my face, i earn 300k so i will block it with my nose'. You would likely have protected your face the moment you noticed the ball coming towards you.

No your reaction should be to stop the ball and not with your hands

Given how many times we have failed to take advantage of other teams stumbling I don't see it that way. It'd be more typical of us not to take advantage of Spurs beating Leicester than the other way around. Does this team have it between the ears to go to Leicester and win if we lose tonight..? Big question.

You mean that same Leicester team that blew a 15 point cushion? Do those questions only apply to us or are Leicester considered impervious to pressure?

AWB on for FM.

van der star · Jul 22, 2020

That sub might be the end of TFM's career at United.

Hilarious to see people claim it’s not a pen!

Was amazing the ref didn’t give it straight away.

He moved his hands to the ball, clearest penalty I’ve seen all season.

Not only that, but the referee would have been within his right book or send off Pogba. That would have been harsh, but not unjustified.

fps · Jul 22, 2020

I was surprised so many first teamers played in the FA Cup match on Sunday. I hope they have gas in the tank for a big second half.

ColvaleGoa · Jul 22, 2020

cmon turn this shower of #### around.

Taxx · Jul 22, 2020

I have no belief that this team will come back. No way. Top 4 is gone, just temper your expectations. Another terrible, shit season.

This is why you can't just buy creative players and then say, "Go unlock the defence". It's a massive oversimplification of what real creativity is. Real creativity is a system that works seamlessly to provide creative players with the right runs and circumstances for them to do something creative. Creative is not an order for individual responsibility to just make shit happen when the other teammates aren't functioning correctly in their system.

Our front players are not making as many runs as they were a few games back. They look knackered. I doubt they have been instructed not to make runs. It’s not a system problem.

We re more tired than them. That FA cup semi final screwed us nicely

We've lost momentum due to that game. Can see us losing against both West Ham and Leicester now.

Schmeichel=God · Jul 22, 2020

LOOK AT THAT ONCE AGAIN....play out from the back ends with a shit hoof up to not even the half way line by David.

feckING belt it long and get up the damn pitch.

Idiotic tactics

No, you definitely just said that you'd happily miss out on top 4 to see him fired. Try and explain it away however much you want, that's what you said.

Yeah..no. Read better

right Pogba use Antonio mocking you to absolutely destroy them

Fair enough if that’s what you think pal. Very easy to sit on your sofa and say you’d take a ball travelling that quick bang in the face. Even if you wanted to I personally think your natural instinct would be to put your hands up. It’s an error but let’s not pretend most Premier League players especially in the modern day wouldn’t do the same.

I’ve played football for 12 years at semi pro level and if anyone in a team I played with had done that they’d be off the pitch so fast their feet wouldn’t touch the ground.
It demonstrates a lack of physical commitment. End of.

Hahaha! Pogba Lovers, hello!
Told you a thousand times!!!

I'm not his biggest fan, far from it but that was just a natural reaction. People are on here like he did it on purpose.

West Ham passing it so much better than us. Our pressing is rubbish.

For those saying he should have ducked he would take similar amount of stick if he did and it flew into the top corner

KennyBurner · Jul 22, 2020

Rashford so predictable with those obvious overlapping passes. Think faster!

How about duck or head the ball?

Second half is here. We need a monster performance now.

Our final pass has been diabolical.
