Yeah Feck iff
The problem is there is nobody else.Clear pen and Brighton perhaps deserved the win. Poor display from United today. But Brighton can feck right off and McAllister too.If Brighton didn't have such a brutal schedule left they could be bet on to move further up the table.We had lost control of this game early in the 2nd half and Antony and Martial were passengers, with Fred being totally ineffective.
Why didn’t ETH recognise it and make changes earlier?
Bringing on Weghorst effectively had us play with 10 men.
Leggy and fatigued maybe, but we are way off the pace for a deserved top 4 spot.
Progress, what progress?Absolutely brainless by Shaw.
I think we also have to bite the bullet on Antony too - he offers absolutely nothing.How in God's name do humans with functioning brains in this thread not understand what has been asked of the players this season. Petulant fecking couch managers the lot of you. Do everyone a favor and go support another club. These players are flesh and blood ffs, quit fecking whining.Good game overall. Thought this was going to be a draw all day long. Very even game.
Nah sorry but that is a weak excuse, look at the players brighton were missing tonight and de zerbi came up with a plan for getting round that. You cant convince me playing wout was a better option than bringing eriksen on and putting rashford up top, or playing pellistri out wide and rashford up top
He needs to look at himself in a mirror first. The subs were poor again, he chose to not give Pellistri a shot as a replacement for Antony again, and he puts on the pit of nothingness called Jadon Sancho again.
Martial?
But even just getting them off the books, out of the squad is a step in the right direction. We might have to be smart with players at end of contracts or near end of contracts. There is always bargains to be had. unfortunately we don’t have brightons scouting and recruitment so it probably won’t happen. We just need rid of the players who aren’t good enough. Take a hit for a season or two to build if needs be.
But more to the point top 4 for these bottle merchants is looking shaky to say the least.My God. Game that looked like we should be winning, ends like this. We are so wasteful in front of goal. Plus, hope we never have Marriner again this seasonSquad is knackered. We need some proper quality strength in depthShaw was bar far our best player, only for an inexplicable error at the end.
The first set of subs were decent, not sure why EtH feels beholden to Weggy. He must have made him some desperate promises, as it makes no sense. He can't head, hold up the ball, make runs, dribble, nothing
That isn't down to Glazers. Our recruitment has been as bad as Brighton's is good. We have frittered money away on overrated players. Even now. Antony isn't a £89m player.
Rubbish so he is not to tackle anymore? Might aswell sell him if thats the case. The incidents you are referring to are not even near what was be done to us. Rashford foul going to the ball that ended up with Antony and lead to the malarkey when he was foul. So again going by what ref gave for yellows for, it was one for foul on Rashord and one for the foul on Antony that was the same as the one shaw got the yellow for.
It won't be easy because we are under enormous pressure when Liverpool's form is better than ours. And are we confident we won't blow it? Has this team showed enough bottle? No.Antony isn't a 89m player Antony isn't a 89m player Antony isn't a 89m player Antony isn't a 89m player Antony isn't a 89m player Antony isn't a 89m player Antony isn't a 89m player Antony isn't a 89m player.
Right you lot can all copy and paste this as your footer, even though it was Shaw's fault we lost and the fact that we loose most games when Antony isn't on the pitch.Newbies, assemble!
You're abysmal
Edit;
We have beaten a top 12 team away from home. We've scored less than fifty goals. Post the cup final, our form has nose dived and we've looked really poor.
Apologies. You're right. Wout is a bad choice. But the pen wasn't on him. I thought Eriksen should have started. Fred starting is negative.Actually thought some of our play was good, Brighton are a solid side at home and with plenty to prove
Antony rashford martial all missed clear chances
He was brilliant all game. But that moment of madness has cost us.So we'll be just one point ahead of the Scousers by the time we play West Ham on Sunday night. Fantastic.
But what does Antony ever offer? Shaw was the best player on the pitch prior to his brain fart, as he was for the last couple of games.
We play three forwards every game and only rashford offers any threat. Its no wonder our goal difference is so bad
That and bad finishing from a number of players
Rashford and Antony score, we aren’t left blaming shaw for his only mistake
With two games in hand ? Decent
Yeah the form is really bad. Even the wins were a little bit desperate, as I recall.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer bought Maguire end of story, you should crawl back under your rock.
Did the Glazers not employ Ed Woodward?
what ? was it desperate against Villa? What you all don't realised is bar the Shaw stupidity, the Referees and var are having a huge impact on our game.
You miss the point. We bemoan our strength in depth and blame the Glazers. The truth is our recruitment has been awful and we have overspent on average players and Antony is one example. When you see the likes of Mitoma who cost just £2.7m ...he is far more effective.
Really funny how opposition team seem to score when he isn't on the park then. He rarely give the ball away and can receive it. Yet tonight you ignore the worst player on the pitch by a mile, Martial who has cost us over the years a lot more than Antony has.Last edited:
Woodward didn't pick the players. He held the purse strings. The planning in recruitment has been non-existent. Even last summer. Casemiro was a panic buy and the fee reflected that..same with Antony.
But notwithstanding that somehow we have to get some kahunas because I think we need 9pts from 15 to get Champions League because I don't see Liverpool doing anything other than win our last games. Meanwhile we look flaky.
Of course not, no replay of that but so many when its the other way. Then no replay of potential foul against Rashford before the Antony yellow. They only show replays of incidents that might be against United.- Status
