2 shots saved on the line and a goal that should have stood and a really crazy fluke goal for Burnley. It's unbelievable that we're 1-0 behind and not leading by 2-3 goals ourselves...

They’ve scored an absolute lucky comical goal. We get a legitimate goal chalked off by this spineless ref. Missed numerous chances including two clearances off the line.Sesko looked better in the last 5-10 minutes as did most of the team. We need Mount on. I'd like to see Mainoo too.We’ve improved last 20 minutes and we will find a way to win this. Remember we’ve had a perfectly legitimate goal ruled out. feck the ref and the shit cnuts in the VAR room. Wankers.
Dont remember barcelona hanging out like thisIt's looked clunky as feck - but their goal was a fluke and we've scored (fair play Walker, you conned the ref) and had two goal line clearances plus Dubravka decided he'd make an amazing save. It will come. They sit so deep with an occasional press I would bring on Mainoo for Ugarte or Case and risk it for a biscuitUgarte should walk into the sea. Mainoo at HT please, Mount for Shaw and push Dorgu to LB.
They're not even playing well. They're just lucky as feck.Typical
Everything against us
Feels like one of those nights where it just won't go in, been many of those in recent years it feels
Can't just be luck and no luckFootball gods absolutely balls deep for Burnley today.
0.75 xG for United. We're not exactly hammering the door down.We started to play decent footballMeanwhile Chelsea drawing with 10 men.So 2 off the line clearances and our goal was ruled out when it shouldn't have been...
DNANANANA United DogmaTwo goals disallowed in two games for nothing incidents.Half-time NewJust hope they keep the same intensity in the second half, we are usually just capable of 1 good half.I have absolute certainty we will score at least 2 in the second half.
We've finally warmed up and are getting into gear. So unlucky on a few of our chances and also the goal conceded was complete freak accident.Luck hasn’t been with us in that half but I think we carried more threat in and around the box than normal. Mind you, we’re up against the worst PL team so that’s not saying much.These players have been forced to play an alien football system for nearly two years. They can't be expected to pick up a back 4 again so soon. This performance is all very much still Amorim's fault.watch the Walker dive get brushed overCunha has a strange position. No idea why we dont push for more widthWe haven't been terrible.
I really don't like to jump on young players when they first sign but I'm starting to struggle with Sesko.Really unlucky.
They're shite...championship team.Still can't believe our goal was ruled out. Disgraceful from the ref and VAR.I'd change a couple of things in the second half.
Sesko
Cunha
Dorgu Casemiro Bruno Lacey
Shaw Martinez Heaven Dalot
LammensShould be about 4 up here.
Not this crap again. The manager shouting and gesticulating from the touchline is mostly performative.We improved towards the end of the half tbh. Bruno has created a lot of good chances. I think Fletch just threw them out there without any plans or instructions honestly
That won't be taking our disallowed goal into account remember.2 goal line clearances , one goal ruled out, their goal was a lucky deflection, this should be 3-0Quite amazing that the best formation in world football can't beat a back 3, which we have ascertained is the worst formation in world football. huh..On one hand there's been a terrible lack of intensity and quality. On the other, we probably should be in front given the extremely jammy nature of their goal and how we had a legitimate goal disallowed.
Oh well.
Was literally about to post the same thing, what prime Barcelona team did this guy watch?
We started slow and turgid., Casamiro switched off for the burnley goal which was then a very lucky big deflection.
Since burnley scored we started playing better. Got to hope we can convert some of the chances we are making in the second.
What a contrast, an animated passionate Amourin on the touchline to a pan faced Fletcher..Ref is so weak to rule out the goal. In the replay there are literally 5 other tustles that are just as significant. But this is the league, we're United and narrative is key. I promise you, if that's a Burnley player on Martinez, not on ly is the goal given, but we were hear all week that Martinez just isn't strong enough to play in the Premier League.An OG.
Ref calling a header a handball.
Ref not booking Hannibal for diving.
Ref ruling out a goal for contact you see every team do at every set piece ever.
Two goal line clearances.
Ref booking Hannibal for diving.
Anything else?The last 30 minutes have been pretty good. What are the odds given for Hannibal with a second yellow today?
I think the disallowed goal is harsh - Walker goes to ground because he is weak in the duel, not because Martinez is too tough in it.
Overall, with Martinez and a more solid midfield, we basically dominate a match for the first time this season... Burnley are barely hanging on, but we also don't really look like scoring much. Dorgu is doing OK on the left, but Cunha doesn't suit playing on the right.Almost 70% possession away from home.Need to up the tempo in the second half we’re still to slow in moving the ball around but we’ve created chances just need to get the equaliser early in the 2nd half.- Status
