If only we had a keeper that saves
Behave yourselfOne and a half
When did that happen? Not the first time you have written this tonight.4-3 loss against Real 20 years ago, anyone? That scoreline also flattered to deceive.
De gea in goal and we win this.
Yeah, that pissed me the feck off. Shit decision all day everyday.My only real issue with the outcome tonight was that pen. All the other goals were down to us playing like shit or playing well. But that pen, which has turned out to be the decider was fecking stupid. I have no idea why both teams, all teams in the CL aren't just running up and down the pitch toe blasting the ball into players arms in the box from a half yard away. Absolutely ridiculous decision that was all the more suspicious when it was "check over" before "actually no, we're going to check it again.".
Agree that Casemiro and Eriksen were culpable for giving ball away in crucial area and appear slow in tracking back.Worrying how Reguilon is our best player for 2 games straight.
Casemiro, okay he scored 2 goals, but he was diabolical and so slow for everything
Eriksen is done at this level
Rashford and Hojlund don't seem to be compatible
Lindelof's passive defending is really irritating. Annoying how we couldn't sell Maguire and get another CB in
Upgrade on Dalot needed badly
I'd start Garnacho in the next game, he's the only winger that can actually dribble past defenders when he receives the ball with the defender in front of him
Pellistri was not good at all
And his energy and commitment also saved us but that gets ignoredLike I said the midfield is a huge worry. Eriksen and McT where shocking. Doesnt change the fact that Bruno being careless cost us in the end.
How is Reguilon the highest player rating but not in the top 5 in the man of the match vote? Odd!
Reguilon, Martinez, Hojlund and Pellestri played well considering who they were up against.
Onana better sort that shit out as he's a great goalkeeper and we got rid of De Gea for this exact type of mistake. He played well the majority of the game.
We were lucky they weren't ruthless.
Lindelof, Dalot, Casemiro, Eriksen, Bruno and Rashford were awful today. When it mattered they didn't defend well at all I'd be interested to see their pass completion stats today because it looked awful to me.
Bruno rarely does well against good teams.
I don't think so.
Agreed 100%. We lack physicality everywhere. I see the likes of Upamecano, Kim Min Jae, Goretzka, Davies etc. lineup for Bayern and I think where are our athletes? Where are our physical specimen at the peak of fitness? Varane is the only player who actually has the physical attributes you want from a top athlete in the squad but he's injured too often. Rashford has them too but he's too lazy to use them. It's a major deficiency in a game that is becoming more and more physical everyday adn a reason we often can't keep up with teams of lesser quality.We really lack athleticism, all over the pitch but especially in midfield - and it’s odd because I don’t think it’s something that Mount offers us. Hoping that Amrabat can inject some soon, but we’re a lightweight team who get outfought routinely.
I don't know if Bayern attacking going to waste so many times because of sloppy, lazy decisions or Utd lazy, timid playing was more infuriating. Shite game.Could have won the game if Utd were a serious team. Bayern played that half arsed as if they were playing a bottom of the table team they could beat at will while having some fun along the way. It reflected badly on both teams.
Who knew that having a gk who could stop shots was useful to have? Not the people on Redcafe...till now.
There was such a drumbeat for YEARS to get rid of DDG. Maybe the new guy will come good...the defense in front of him isn't doing him any favors. I presume he's good with the ball at his feet; it's hard to tell at the moment when he's just constantly picking the ball out of the back of the net.
And his energy and commitment also saved us but that gets ignored
What a strange football match. The head scratch is just the lack of midfield balance. How that’s a pen against Eriksen when we never got that one at Spurs is beyond me
Our ability to constantly shoot ourselves in the foot is quite something to behold. Feel a bit for Onana, 6 games in and already getting pelters. The truth is even if he hadn't made the error Bayern were much better and they would still have found ways, but the spotlight will be on him instead. Harsh.
It is the most bizarre thing to watch. I've some sympathy with the argument we could've got as good (or even better) for less money but bringing back De Gea is absolute insanity talk.Let's not forget DDG made some howlers last season. Everton in the fa Cup. West ham away. Fa Cup final to name but a few. He was the best shot stopper in the world at one point but his main attribute was running away from him...
Bayern the best side in Europe ? I am all for being optimistic but this is a bit delusional. I dividual mistakes cost us today.Wasn’t that bad at all. A ridiculous penalty and a goalkeeping error the difference. Don’t forget we were away to probably the best side in Europe and we half less than half a team. Things will only get better.
Every single goal they scored was somehow tied to an individual error. Nothing wrong with the tactics, lineup or sub, just can’t focus for 90 minutes. Manager will pay with his if it continues this way like always, but it’s been like this under the previous 2 managers.
