I agree with your premise but I'm not sure if I'd be using the Casemiro red card that came from Onana's mistake. We were generally crap in the Champions League, our games had the level of chaos we've seen in all competitions in 2024, but Onana...

I hope you're right, that would be the way I would go.

In fairness to Southgate England have been better under him than they were for a long time and players seem more enthused to play for them than they had at any stage in my life. I think he has cultivated a good culture which is largely in line...

Southgate feels very INEOS and especially very Dave Brailsford. Absolute peak marginal gains/world-class basics with minimal substance underneath. I doubt he's their preference ahead of Tuchel or giving Ten Hag another year but I would imagine...

I'm always surprised you think he's going to talk his way out of trouble, he's one of the worst speakers I've ever heard as a manager at a top club. 10 minutes of him incoherently rambling and saying "heh" a lot is hardly going to get anyone to...

Ten Hag ending up at Bayern is the only hope of us selling him. He might see him as the replacement to Robben that they've been looking for for years. Other than that he'll be on loan or be sat on the bench for us for the next couple of years.

It's bizarre that this is the plan, to have 1 of the 3 midfielders barely touch the ball when we have possession. You add this to playing a deep defensive line while having our forwards press high and it is really baffling what the manager is...

Yeah but if you stretch it out over his time here and claim penalty shootout victories as matches won, even though that's literally not how they're recorded, then he's better than Klopp and Arteta so it's all good.

We're absolutely terrible so he's made a lot of saves, including a few really good reaction stops, but he regularly lets in goals that a top goalkeeper wouldn't let happen (maybe an aberration once a season). He's just not an elite goalkeeper and...

We've spoken for years on here about how we need to improve the structure, we're in May and we've had a new technical director for 2 weeks, we have no director of football, no head of recruitment and a new CEO joining in July plus a squad that is...

Keeper should save it again but we know at this stage that he's not much cop, shame the manager who worked with him wasn't aware. It's garbage by Casemiro in the build up too, hopefully he's only got a handful of games left with us before he...

It's probably the worst squad of players we've had in my lifetime (the 1st 20 years were pretty amazing in fairness) in part due to him completely underestimating the standard of the league and thinking buying a bunch of players he knew would...

Fair play, he's been very good tonight. I still don't know why any fans would want him back given he seemed more determined to defend his right to not bother training properly than he ever was to play for United but hopefully games like tonight...

The options are always a bit meh in fairness and we'll have to hope a gamble works whether it's this year, next or in 5 years time, I'm not sure why a lot of posters think if we wait a year that the options will suddenly be much better. In the...

In fairness neither of them should be penalties, the AWB was Vince McMahon WWE narrative bullshit to make it 3-3.
