Not enough intensity in the second half.

 

[In Rainbows]

He spent all game blatantly nowhere near fit enough to be playing. While Martial stayed home again. We got a glimpse of what our season would be if we lost him to injury.

Fit or not, he was put into good positions where not being fit wasn't an excuse. His selfishness cost him, not how fit he is.

 

[mav_9me]

grow up you melt wtf

Clear sarcasm. In response to the stupid reply to my original post.

 

[evil_geko]

No caf logic is thinking he's changed. This is your typical Rashford from the past. He has 2-3 decent games and then goes back to being shite for an x amount of games. rinse and repeat

2-3 decent games? I really hope you are trolling.

 

[LordSpud]

We never had the quality for a title challenge, Arse and Citeh have better squads than us simple as that. We will get top 4 though and that's good enough for now.

Arsenal dont have a better squad. They are just playing 1 or 2 games a week as opposed to 3

 

[Murder on Zidane's Floor]

Poor attitude. Was it that bad in the first half?

The opposite, it was good!

 

[MUFC OK]

Why would it be both? Fred will come in and it will be the same team as tonight.

We had Eriksen and Mctom away to city..

I.e. we will play both.

 

[NK86]

Bruno and rashford were trash today

Rashford was absolutely greedy the whole second half. Had chances to set up a teammate to get the second goal but just did not pass the ball, kept running into cul-de-sacs. He was the Rashford from the last 2 seasons.

Hope ETH has a word with him to get it across that his individual records come second to United.

Bruno, apart from the goal, was absolutely useless too. Kept trying his tricks and flicks in poor areas, one of which led to Cas getting his yellow. We really need a better #10 too. Bruno at #10 is still palatable, as a RW he is atrocious.

What an awful result when combined with Cas missing against Arsenal.

 

[Dazzmondo]

Still fully believe we'll get top 4 comfortably but don't buy into title challenge talk. Still too early for that. Top 4 and trophy would be a great 1st season for ETH. We can try to push on next season if we get investment

 

[R'hllor]

We got what we deserve, whos ever idea was for us to control a game and contain 1:0 lead, when we aint capable, never was in most cases.

Bruno passing bombs left right center on top being obnoxious moaner. Oh well, move to Arsenal.

 

[A-man]

We were awful in second half. Casemiro fantastic but all together we were awful.

 

[acnumber9]

Fit or not, he was put into good positions where not being fit wasn't an excuse. His selfishness cost him, not how fit he is.

On one or two occasions definitely. His unselfishness also played a part in the only goal we scored. His lack of fitness cost us any other hope of scoring.

 

[chicha14]

With no Casemiro? That means Fred and Mctominay start - no chance.

As many have said, we beat them without him earlier in the season... We have Wout

 

[DeGea]

McTominay is awful. Not good enough to even be a rotational player as he does not contribute enough and is prone to mistakes.

 

[DutchSerb]

A game to quickly forget. We didnt even deserve that win based off of our performance but still feels stolen. At least top 4 still feels like its in the bag looking at the table.

Can't wait to get our striker and CM. Love Eriksen but holy feck what a difference in both halves.

 

[NK86]

At least we can get out of this "title race" bollocks and just focus ourselves on Top 4

I don't think I have ever seen a positive post from you regarding United.

 

[Real Madras]

Bloody hell. I started feeling depressed with Casemiro getting that yellow, but felt, with us taking three points would make up for it. To lose the game in the last minute felt like I cut my finger. No excuses from the players. Bar AWB, we were not great. You can see this United team can really become a great team and we can win things. But you need to win these types of games to win the league. This gives Arsenal a massive boost now and they must be favourites for Sunday. Our players should be angry now and hopefully they can channel this in the right way for a massive push on Sunday.

 

[Still ill]

Casemiro. Gets himself suspended and misses an open goal in injury time. What a prick.

 

[Il Prete Rosso]

Boys are gassed, be mad at the premier league for putting this game in on a weeks notice.

This x100. The scheduling of this game was very poor by the FA.

 

[Berbasbullet]

Second half was shocking, we completely lost control of the game after doing so well. Saying that it all fell apart when the ref decided to not give an absolute stone wall pen.

 

[GifLord]

2-3 decent games? I really hope you are trolling.

No i'm being realistic. In the past few weeks i've seen comments like 'This is the best Rashford', 'Rashford is back'...
It's like you have gold fish memories. Rashford late 2020 was a completely different beast to this one.

 

[MUFC OK]

Not enough intensity in the second half.

Barely tried to score. Showed more in the last 3 mins chasing the game than rest of the half - unacceptable.

 

[TMDaines]

Good example of a match that the best teams will often put beyond doubt so a low xG free-kick or a penalty being declined won’t matter.

 

[Berbasbullet]

At least we can get out of this "title race" bollocks and just focus ourselves on Top 4

Yeah! Thank god we dropped points!

 

[Laurencio]

Casemiro man.

Suspended for trying to prevent an equaliser- that they got anyway. Then in injury time he missed point blank.

We certainly didn't have any luck.

 

[Tigersam]

Casemiro should've been rested, guaranteed yellow card now

Can you send me the lottery numbers for Saturday by private message?

 

[Il Prete Rosso]

Casemiro. Gets himself suspended and misses an open goal in injury time. What a prick.

Can't call him that bro. Without him in the middle there, even though Palace were poor in the attacking phases of play, he was your most important player in breaking down their attacks.

 

[MIC_FIN]

I'm starting to think that you have misread what I have posted. I said that had we scored a second goal and therefore had a 2-goal cushion, we could have taken Casemiro off and therefore avoided the situation of him picking up the second yellow. What's your problem with what I have said?

Sorry dude, the fact we are playing away in London. Hindsight is great. But none of those situations presented themselves.

 

[Berbasbullet]

That's defo the next stage of our evolution we need to sort out, killing games off.

Ah I'm sorry, il Prete. I'm joking of course. I love the man like my own son.

 

[DLE]

How I feel.

 

[Banana Republic]

I missed the first half, but all I saw in the 2nd half, was sloppy play, particularly in the final 3rd of the pitch, giving the ball away, over and over again.
Even when we could get low crosses and passes into the box, it was aimless and limp.
I was hoping the final whistle would come, with 20 minutes to go.
An equaliser was looking more and more likely as the end got nearer.

 

[sixdwarf]

I was saying that earlier. Top 4 and a trophy would be amazing. I actually called losing Casemiro and a goal before the end after 65m. It was coming.

I am not sure how we get a result at Arsenal without Casemiro. We dont have enough strength in depth in midfield.

We pinged the ball beautifully first half without really killing em and have paid the price.

 

[The Brown Bull]

Hard luck.Really top class strike at the end cost us 2 points but we probably didn’t deserve anymore. Thought Rashford was terrible. Despit his goal Bruno poor as well .
Top 4 would be an achievement with this squad.

 

[Devil81]

Antony is the weak link in the whole set up, so many times he had the opportunity to feed the ball into Weghorsts feet and he chose to cut back and pass on the responsibility.

It was a shit show tonight.

 

[Red00012]

Shaw to play LCB and Martinez in the casemiro role for Arsenal. Calling it now

Give it a rest about Martinez in the middle . Some posters on here haven’t a fecking clue

 

[Red in STL]

Give it a rest about Martinez in the middle . Some posters on here haven’t a fecking clue

Talking about yourself again are we?

 

[George The Best]

Really poor effort I thought. We tried to cruise through this with Sunday in mind and paid the price. Crap decision to not award a pen for foul on McTom, and Casemiro booking is a disaster. Rashford looks like he’s still carrying his injury and Antony is not giving us what we need for the price. Forget the title, we absolutely need to get top 4.

Agree on every point, but we might get something from the Arsenal game even though they are a better team. Wout and Antony need to step up.

Olise > Antony
