Rashford scored

and then did nothing... barely even broke into a trot

 

[bdspeedy]

what do the glazers have to do with this performance?

You're welcome to stay up their ass. I refuse to.

 

[MF1138]

The second half was better... But we seriously lack any cutting edge. Anyone thinks that the malaise this group are in can be turned around with a snap of the fingers are in for a big shock.

 

[Stadjer]

Onana, Amad and Mazraoui played well. The rest were back to Ten Hag performances

Onana and Mazraoui also played well for ETH. Other players looked about the same

 

[Oscar Bonavena]

A draw is the most we deserved out of that. Ipswich missed 3 point blank chances in front of goal.

At least he can be under no illusions now as to the shortcomings in this team.

 

[Red00012]

Amorim gesturing for them to get the ball up the park but mazraoui and Amad just feck about with it.

Poor Amorim has his work cut out with these wannabes

10 seconds left and they decided to do keep ball

 

[Grand Vizier]

Yet there's many who still defend him and blame a lack of service when he's not attacking the 6 yard box on the end of 9/10 crosses or cutbacks. He's got some of the worst natural movement I've ever seen from a no 9

Some people always go too far. It is either Cavani movement or the worst movement in the world. Nothing in between.

 

[RedRocket9908]

That last few minutes was a joke, why were we passing it about in our own half or side to side accross the edge of the box deep in stoppage time when we desperately needed a goal

 

[Moriarty]

Where are the goals going to come from? Corner in the last minute went in high against a keeper the size of Frankenstein's monster. No penetration at all. Zirkzee had no impact on the game and when Garnacho went off, all chances of nicking a win went with him.

 

[Red00012]

right on the dot he blows the whistle

He had a tonne on no cards , he was taking no chances

 

[mitchmouse]

New manager. Still shit. Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. We need to put the screws to the Glazers and drive them out of the team. Sell the spoilt, entitled "stars" and the deadwood but DO NOT ALLOW the owners to continue to use us as human shields and hide behind this shit shower.

this is why I wanted the sheikh to win the bidding: he'd have thrown everything out and started again

 

[PoTMS]

None of our players wanted the win. Look at the urgency in the last 4 minutes.

 

[JPRouve]

what do the glazers have to do with this performance?

They quite obviously didn't put cones properly during training.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

and then did nothing... barely even broke into a trot

Højlund contributed nothing, plain and simple. I won’t get into comparisons because, honestly, I’m not sure if either player has what it takes to be part of our future, although Rashford has produced in the past.

 

[Heinzesight]

None of our players wanted the win. Look at the urgency in the last 4 minutes.

It’s was so odd. Happy with a point. feck me.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

That is our biggest issue and has been for a couple of seasons, so instead of getting a goal machine in we spend a fortune on two youngsters who at times look lost and inexperienced. Pandering to Rashford because he had one stellar season was madness.

 

[Camy89]

What did amad do wrong? Chased after a ball that was going out of play then passed it to mazraoui who took an age to do anything with it.

Amad got it back from him and proceeded to do nothing and just game it back to mazraoui (who then took an age to do anything.)

 

[Heinzesight]

As a Mazraouri fantasy footy owner, maybe we leave it as it is/

Lovely strike, always destined for the top corner.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

They quite obviously didn't put cones properly during training.

and Joel couldn't finish his dinner.

 

[JPRouve]

Glazers can't make the players pass the ball.

Exactly, they are useless.

 

[kaku06]

Has there ever been a weaker striker who loses every physical duel more than Hojlund? The guy is 6’3 or something but he ends up on the floor every time even by an opponent fart.

 

[Bebe]

The eleven that finished the match was much better than the one that started, especially against a high institutional) intensity side like Ipswich. I get why amorim wanted to play the guys with more training minutes but Evans, casemiro, eriksen in the same side can't really work in 2024.

Rashford looks so unbelievably washed. Those runs in the channels hojlund made should have been available all game.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Amad got it back from him and proceeded to do nothing and just game it back to mazraoui (who then took an age to do anything.)

Maybe that is a bit of ETH attitude still in them. We fought for a good point at a hard place to get anything. When we should be going for a win.

Hopefully. I hope that we can build on this.

 

[dwd]

Yeah - the players we have will mess him up as well

Mental

 

[Moriarty]

Agreed. Too many passengers in the squad. Apart from the goal, Rashford was pretty much absent. He made no central runs into the box and drifted wide into his normal position where Garnacho was.

 

[TsuWave]

You're welcome to stay up their ass. I refuse to.

???

Are you OK???

 

[bdspeedy]

The Glazers have nothing to do with this?

Good luck Ruben, you have some job on your hand..

Stay up their ass. They destroyed the team but are still able to use it as their personal ATM (they own it, it's their right but I don't have to like it). New managers. New players. This cycle will never end until they're gone.

 

[Moriarty]

Has there ever been a weaker striker who loses every physical duel more than Hojlund? The guy is 6’3 or something but he ends up on the floor every time even by an opponent fart.

I'll excuse him. They eat some weird stuff in Ipswich and their farts must be like mustard gas.

 

[Oscar Bonavena]

The second half was better... But we seriously lack any cutting edge. Anyone thinks that the malaise this group are in can be turned around with a snap of the fingers are in for a big shock.

And now our best attacking player is playing right wing back!

 

[bdspeedy]

???

Are you OK???

I'm as right as the mail.

 

[Sandikan]

If only we could merge Rashy, Hojlund and Zirkzee into one striker, and probably Eriksen, Casemiro and Ugarte into one midfielder.
We would probably have a couple of strong players then.

 

[Moriarty]

Well Axel had a good game. I can't remember why we let him go. Was it injuries?

 

[bdspeedy]

We were outfought and outplayed by a team of unknown scrubs who were organized, focused and motivated.

 

[lysglimt]

Mental

Not really - in his first match we were outfought and outworked by Ipswich - if they dont work hard then, when will they work hard ?

 

[thisisnottaken1]

Well Axel had a good game. I can't remember why we let him go. Was it injuries?

Yeah I think it was.

 

[dwd]

Not really - in his first match we were outfought and outworked by Ipswich - if they dont work hard then, when will they work hard ?

He’s been here what five days? Come on mate bloody hell.

 

[Moriarty]

Yeah I think it was.

Shame. We had high hopes for him.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Not really - in his first match we were outfought and outworked by Ipswich - if they dont work hard then, when will they work hard ?

It has been reported by Portugal's media that he expects running and hard work and can be ruthless if he doesn't get that, so we will need to wait and see if that is true.

 

[Charlie Foley]

I think he actually kept the ball in play as well? Wonder what the rule is on that

I would guess the linesman = out of play so if it touches him the ball goes dead
