    What a finish! We were 2:0 down with 10 minutes to go and fought back to draw. That's Man Utd. We never gave up and pulled out a result against the odds.

    Yet ultimately it was a night of frustration at Old Trafford as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's winning run came to an end, but Lindelof's late goal denied Burnley's first win at Old Trafford since 1962. They defended resolutely from start to finish and took their chances when they came, Barnes smashing in the opening goal after 51 minutes and then Wood making it 2:0 after 81'.

    We threw everything at Burnley to get back into the game and Pogba's late penalty gave us hope and then Lindelof scored in injury time. In truth our attack never really clicked like it has in previous games but credit to Burnley's defence which stayed organised and frustrated us time and again.

    Lots of positives to take from the game. We never gave up and didn't know when we were beaten to grind out a result. Under previous managers we would have gone out with a whimper in a game like that.

    Heaton needed 40 sec to kick the ball back and still no added time. feck you Moss. feck you
     
    John Moss the absolute wanker. 2 seconds before added time was up, and we scored in added time. Should've played until at least 6 minutes.
     
    I think Alexis is a bit crap. It's like he cannot pass properly and his passes mostly don't make the target. Pereira is championship level. Would still keep Mata around. Just one of those games. Burnley defended fantastic except they conceded twice
     
    In all my years following United, I have never known:

    1. Such an incredibly lucky team as that lot tonight.
    2. Such an absolute fecking bellend refereeing a game of football as that fat cnut. He seriously needs reporting. We should have had another minute at least.
     
    is it a tactical mistake to start Perreira when Herrera has an injury or is it a mistake not to have a backup midfield that rivals the first pick midfield

    is it a tactical mistake to start Mata or is it a mistake he was still here

    is it a tactical mistake to start Rom or is it a mistake to sign him from the last manager and have him put 15 kilos on and lose his pace

    is it a tactical mistake that Sanchez doesn't play like he did at Arsenal or was he a panic buy from Jose
     
    Rashford should have given us the lead in the first half and it would have been a different story.
     
    The thing that saves Poch from embarassment is his wafer thin squad, Ole has been dealt a wafer thin squad too. With people who aren't contributing on a big wage and backup's who are Arsenal level.
     
    First of all that pass to rashford wasn't very difficult. only an idiot would see that opportunity and not take it unless the other outcome results to a goal.

    Now the pass Im talking about was the early cross he made. For him to attempt that would mean he thought rashford or whoever was at the end of it would somehow head the ball in from an awkward position. The sensible play there would be for him to MOVE with the ball and try and pick out a better pass given there were three players ahad of him. Is that so Hard for someone that can think multiple steps at a time? I think not.

    I'm not generalizing anything. Lukaku is not so bright!

    He dragged two players towards him and brilliantly played Rashford on. You make it sound like it was nothing.
     
    Okay, the rotation didn't work tonight. We lost the momentum. I really liked the finishing 11 against Arsenal last week. Bailly and Lindelof are much more solid. I have no idea where Jones was for Burnley's second. Jesse makes a huge difference with the space he creates from his constant movement. I think Lukaku cancelled out Marcus and apart from the link up in the first half it didn't really work. It was a Mourinho performance tonight. The Herrera, Matic and Pogba midfiel

    I dont make it sound like anything other than what is was. Read your statement again but without bias. he is a striker with the ball through on goal, of course defenders are going to move towards him. Rashford makes a run into the box and lukaku spots the obvious pass being guarded by 2 players. Stop exaggerating everything.
     
    Why should he be marking woods. That’s on Jones and Shaw.

    Because he's the right back and its a cross into the area he should be covering :confused: Its pretty self explanatory.

    If Vidic was playing RCB he might have taken it upon himself to be in a great position to attack the ball in the air and do it for him, but maybe not. Maybe he would have been pulled out of the middle like Lindelof.



    Usually the right back's responsibility to tuck in when the CBs are pulled across leaving someone free. So yes Young should have been marking him. If the man behind him gets the ball then its his winger's fault as he should have tracked back.

    Meanwhile if his CB is leaving the man straight in front of him free then he needs to react and pick him up. Instead of doing that Young makes a move forward and then cant get back to put decent pressure on the attacker.

    I'd love to hear the theory on why Luke Shaw our left back should be marking someone just to the right of the centre of our goal.

    How am I exaggerating anything? It was brilliant hold up play and most players would be heaped with praise if Rashford scored. Players like De Bruyne get their asses licked by opposition and United fans alike for doing similar things

    Now you are being delusional comparing de bruyne passes to lukaku passes. What are we even arguing here?
