Crystal Palace 1:1 Manchester United

Post-match discussion


Wed, 18 January 2023

I mean, 10 wins and a draw is acceptable, imo.
 
The 2nd half was a shambles, Casemiro getting booked because we were fecking about at the back when he should’ve been subbed off earlier. Then conceding to freak free kick like that at the end, absolute sickener. The only good thing about this game is we didn’t lose. I was pretty relaxed about the Arsenal game but not to much now, the thought of McTominay shielding the back 4 at the moment gives me nightmares.
 
Why?
For me Case is the difference between 3 points or 0 points against Arsenal.
So that’s 4 points from 2 games with Case or 3 points without Case

then you put far too much emphasis on casemiro.
 
We could be 2-0 up in second half with that PEN. But we probably didnt deserve a win today tbh. We didnt create enough in second half. Too sloppy and too much defending that one goal lead.

That one big chance for Palace was always coming. We settled for a 1-0 result and you cannot do that in PL. It’s suicidal.

AWB, De Gea, Varane stood out. The squad needs some rest I think.
 
How the feck did we not score that at the end? fecking fuming we drew that game. Palace were shite but managed a draw purely because we kept gifting them the ball. Fancy a loss against Arse on Sunday will bring us crashing back down to earth.
 
Every United fan's reaction upon seeing McTominay coming on:



Every United fan's reaction at seeing he is coming on for Weghorst rather than our best player who needs to avoid a yellow to play at the weekend:



If Casemiro had come off for McTominay we'd have lost that match 2-1.
 
Should have got a penalty to wrap up the game 2-0. Another shocking decision by VAR. Got the luck at the weekend so bound to happen. Plus we weren’t good enough that second half, thought Rashford was poor. Eriksen needed to come off as well
 
On Saturday morning I’d have taken a point against City and a win here against Palace if it had been offered to me. So in my mind we are no worse off.

Shit happens. You can’t win every game.

I’m very worried about Antony though. He just doesn’t look as though he’s going to cut it.

Our entire performance turned to shit from the moment McTominay came on. We should be biting Newcastle’s hands off if their interest is real.
 
Man I forgot what losing (drawing) felt like.
It's great that a draw away to Palace feels so shit rather than normal.
We were in control for most of the match, a shame to lose it at the end but that was a great run of games.

Hopefully we can something out of Arsenal on Sunday
 
Deflating but these bumps were always gonna happen.

Half way through the season 2nd I'd of snatched your hand off especially after Brentford.

Let's not forget this game was only arranged 10 days ago.
 
Rashford poor, really poor. AWB was very good bar the last quarter when he got sloppy. Lots of pluses in the first half but we only really turned up in injury time in the second half. Disappointing night.
 
Yeah, I wish he hadn't scored so we lost 1-0 instead.

That’s not the point though is it. Him scoring doesn’t and shouldn’t detract they he gave the ball away a lot - one such incident resulting in Casemiro making a rash challenge to try and stop them attacking.
 
We don't seem to create a lot. That's the issue. We get into decent positions but that final ball is missing alot of the time.
 
I'm rating De God about 20, why hasn't he got a super human rating?

Could have been a lot worse. Great attacking football, just missing a propper finisher.

AWB for the mention too.
 
We stopped playing football and fully deserved the equalizer in the end.
We can bury our title aspirations now. I truly believed we were in the thick of it but now it is over, especially without Casemiro in Sunday.

The only reason we had any points to drop was because he was, for about the 80th game in his time at the club, the only one who looked remotely like scoring.
 
People need to seriously get a fvcking grip, it’s a bump in the road that can happen to any team and the fact everyone is losing their shit because a so called title challenge is over is mind boggling,.
Have we all forgotten where we were not even 6 months ago ?
You all thought we’d win every game from now on ? Top 4 and a cup would be a fantastic first season for ETH so let’s all calm down a wee bit eh
 
Dang.
Was thinking towards the end that it was a bit close for comfort but we got away with it and we were probably overdue to get caught out in this kind of game soon enough. They scored about 2 mins later so that happened a bit sooner than i expected.
We just looked a bit disjointed and lethargic to me. Lots of games recently, a couple of injuries, a couple of below par performances, rotation and a debut are all fair explanations but think we've dropped a off a tiny bit in more recent weeks. We'll need to kick on again, some tough games coming up.
 
it hurts so badly to show such cowardice at 0:1 when we've just beaten City and only seemed to be entering the title race. If there was ever a moment to show hunger and courage it was in games like that - trying to settle for 0:1 was always a bad decision and you don't win titles and trophies like that. We've deservedly conceded and sure it was a wonderful free kick that Olise misses most of the other times, but also De Gea was bailing us, terrible second half overall.
 
I must have been watching a different game cause I thought we played pretty well.

Was fearing a hangover just days after the epic derby but we started well, got control and took a well deserved lead. Very difficult to dominate any Premier League game from start to finish and though DDG made a top save, we never looked in much danger.

That penalty really would have made a difference and Cas could then have gone off prior to his booking. We were running out of steam and it’s shame we couldn’t make more of our counter in the second, but when a free kick like that hits the top corner you just know it’s not your day.

Real shame we couldn’t keep the run going. Now need Fred to step up on the weekend.
 
I've never subscribed to the "title challenge" theme. In my eyes the target was always top 4. We're still on target.

This is football, we've scored last minute equalisers and winners, even this season. It feels like a kick in the teeth, especially with Casemiro's suspension (Bruno's fault), but tomorrow I'll look forward to the Arsenal match. We beat them without him earlier in the season.
 
Title challenge?! Anyone seriously? I don't think ETH have a thought about it. If we beat Arsenal, are we in the title challenge again. I think Arsenal is too far ahead for now. Finishing top 4 and winning the League Cup will be a good season for Utd. Last but not least, new owner who are ready to make us great again.
 
Rashford only played for his goal record. Didn’t play for the team in the second half
 
McTominay is chaos. Pure, unadulterated chaos.

It's not just about what he does on an individual level, but it's what his presence does to the team overall. How many times in the past have we brought on McTominay to shore up things to secure the win, only for him to become the bringer of the chaos which results in the result turning negative? It's happened so many times.

What makes it worse is that clearly he's going to start vs. Arsenal now, because ETH doesn't see Fred in the 6, so of course, he's locked in to play alongside Eriksen and it's just gonna be this shit show of us not being able to keep the ball vs an Arsenal team who already are good at keeping it.

For feck sake. Why do those lucky cnuts always face teams minus their best player(s)?
 
100% was a penalty and the Palace player should have been off after elbowing Martinez but we knew we weren't getting those decisions after Saturday.
 
Sickening...Fecking hate conceding in injury time. This feels just like a 3-0 drubbing.
 
Sickening end to the game. Don't think we'll beat Arsenal on Sunday without Casemiro so been a disaster tonight
