PL D FA Premier League

Manchester United 1:1 Southampton

Post-match discussion


Sat, 12 February 2022

I'm not sure I can stomach another season of watching Rashford and Maguire play in Manchester United shirts. They won't be deservedly shipped out in the summer though, because 'United Way' or some other bollocks.

Instead we'll lose Pogba and Cavani, arguably the only two proper footballers in our team right now.
 
We have a hell of a lot of problems in that team:

Ronaldo looks a mile off the player he was. Not sure if it's just form or age but really needs to show something soon because he is breaking down a lot of attacks.

Rashford is looking terrible at the moment. Similar to Ronaldo, I hope it's form but to be honest he barely looks like a footballer at the moment.

McTominay (I know he divides the fanbase) but just isn't good enough. A complete passenger once again and really poor defensively in my opinion.

Maguire is a joke at the moment. Looks absolutely terrible and was skinned time after time.

Really worrying that we had no striker options on the bench, no midfield options and almost half the team who don't look like they should even be in the premier league based on that performance.

Only positives I can take are Pogba and Sancho looked good I thought.
 
We might as well give the kids a run out. Ronaldo Rash mctom maguire need dropping. It will be a miracle to finish top 4, and would be better long term to finish 8th. Loads of coaching by the new coach can then be done with no European football in the way
 
well, that’s top 4 gone now I would say!! if the 3 teams below win there games in hand we are 7th.

Quick question, did anyone ever think they would have seen the day that 5 Southampton players would easily get in our starting 11?

1) Walker- Peters
2) Ward- Prowse
3) Romeu
4) Borja
5) Salisu
 
I love my club but this team is breaking my heart. No heart, no work rate, no notion, no joy anymore.
 
Missing an incisive player like MG to be honest.

Rashford is appalling. Ronaldo offers very little.
 
It's the same every week, get to half time at 0-0 or maybe a goal down. Then come out for the second half, flood the midfield and we're fecked.
There's nothing more to it, it's piss easy.
 
Weak as feck. I'm annoyed that the players are making the same mistakes over and over again. Not capitalising on the chances/possession/control in the first half, and then letting teams back in, in the second half.

Too many draws and losses. The players have to take responsibility. It's no good thinking that you are on the same level as the elite clubs, if you don't put the performances in or get the stats/points that these clubs get. We're a bunch of frauds.
 
I think Ralf was sold a pup. The team was broken before he arrived and, even after clearing some of the players out, he wasn't even given 20M to improve the team. There were options we could have got at this price range, and we need multiple people there so it wouldn't have been the end of the world for a new manager.

Now we will miss out on Champions League football, the revenue that brings, and it will make it harder to obtain our player/manager targets in the summer. If we gave the club over to the PG Tips chimps it couldn't be worse run.
Lack of CL doesn’t matter a feck. We have had CL over the last two summers and look where we are.
If we aren’t competitive for CL then feck CL and build this squad properly instead of using CL to go down the easy route of Sancho and Ronaldo.
Just get who we need regardless of name
 
Sancho, De Gea and Pogba were fantastic. Ronaldo is done, the age is showing but what is Rashfords excuse?
 
Really bad game management.
Lucky not to concede a pen and were flirting with a red card or two this game.

Not good enough, should be putting away Burnley and Southampton with all due respect to them.
We are Man Utd ffs, should be easily 3rd with the squad we have, 4th at absolute worst.
 
Groundhog day. Certain players doing the same dumb shit.

Referee was appalling.
 
Different day, same story
 
Didn't expect United to win so can't say I'm surprised. 1-1 draws until the end of time. This season is dragging on too long simply no spark, desire and passion in that United group of players to finish the season on a high.
 
Get ready for a barrage of social media posts about how we're working hard, players are hurting and we'll get it right next time.

I despise this lot. Absolute chokers.
 
Serious rebuild required. Man United should take a gamble and hire the guy from Celtic
 
I don't even think Sir Alex could do anything with this shower of shit of a squad.
Spineless, gutless, pathetic.
 
I wish we blocked Martial's move. Options look really bleak, maguire still gets in the team, who knows why. Ronaldo looks like he checked out. The whole squad is a shambles and bruno cost me my triple captain. This season is a write off, we need a mircale to win champions league.
 
Maguire is really bad. Not necessarily because he's so slow and cumbersome, but he doesn't really have redeeming standpunt qualities. He doesn't seem good at the ball, he's not fast, not a good offensieve header of the ball. He's bottom half level.
 
Thanks for cultural reboot, Ole. Now the team is full of overpaid cnuts.
I hate every single of them
 
We go massively off the boil in the second half, and yet we don't change a fecking thing until its way too late.

Seriously, is Rangnick an idiot?
Change what? We don't have any players to change shit. Keeping Ronaldo in and letting Harry start is something he needs to answer though. This team is in no shape and mentally weak. Starting the second half is something that needs to be worked on. But we seem to lack energy to play 90 min.
 
That defending by Captain Maguire in the last Southampton attack in the final minutes of the game was world class, sign him up for life.
 
Poor quality and poor effort from some of our players.
Bullied and outmuscled for most of the game.
Pogba lackadaisical and not up to the required pace or physicality.
Rashford nowhere near good enough.
Ronaldo, a passenger for a big chunk of the match and no longer up to the pace and physicality.
Bruno, erratic, going from brilliant to wastefully random in an instant.
McTominey, too passive and vanishes at times, but left on his own in the middle and left to hang out and dry by his team mates and the game plan.

Nobody should have complained if Southampton has won that.
 
Out-coached - stands out like a bloody mile !

Lampost upfront and centre half ( Not Varane ! )
 
i missed the first 30 mins, all i saw was one team play some nice football passing it through midfield and getting in again and again, and another throwing men forward and trying to find them with hollywood balls / hopefull punts upfield.

we dont have anyone that could be classed as a classic centre midfielder and it shows, especially when were out numbered there.
 
TV rating, match day attendance should drop. What kind of team is this? Takes a lead but end with draw or lost. Maguire should not be starting any games now. I don't understand why Rashford and Sancho needs to swap side. We needs a CB, DCM, ST and RW. Omg, millions dollars yet we can't address this issue. Forget about Top 4, every club is laughing at Utd and the Glazers.
 
If we bring Poch and Kane in we will have a better chance of qualifying for the Europa league .
 
We flatter to deceive, often looking capable in attack only to run out of confidence in the final third. This is on the manager imo.

Ah if he's responsible for the poor decisions and technical malaise he needs to be banned from the game.

The issue with most of these players predates the current manager. And while he hasn't fixed them, I'm beginning to wonder who can.
 
Serves me right for wasting 90 mins of my life thinking we might turn a corner.

Counting down to Rashford’s next tweet: “Not the result we wanted but we fight on”
 
I had high hopes of Ralph when he come in to drop poor players....no same ole love in. Rashford, Maguire and Ronaldo have beeb terrible for an age...in Maguires case his entire career.

The coaching at this club is horrendous, the gross over payment for poor players and bloated salaries from years of on field mismanagement in the pursuit of off field commercialism have killed United. This isn't Spain or Italy where the top teams get the money and the other 17/18 get pennies - the Premier is so competitive and United haven't been- for almost a decade
 
Just so frustrating. The fitness levels are dreadful and we simply cannot sustain a performance for more than 45 minutes. The age old United problems of appalling decision making and technical ineptitude of course remain.

This season cannot end soon enough and it's at the stage where you almost hope the wheels properly come off, just so that we avoid the ignominy of the Europa Conference League next season. That will probably happen next month anyway, when City, Spurs, Liverpool and Atletico will surely steamroller us.
 
Worst in the league all things considered. This is now just a pre-season for the next campaign.
 
I reckon the conditioning of the players is poor. They can't sustain the sort of football RR wants them to play - they're dead on their feet as the game goes by.

Playing with Ronaldo absolutely doesn't help as we really are playing one man less than the opposition. He wins no 50/50s
