    This seems to happen recently after we have a massive result, we go on a shit run. Draw against Brentford and a loss to fecking Chelsea.
     
    ETH takes attackers off and we lose again by going into our shell.
    Good lord we didn’t go into a fecking shell we were knocking the ball around perfectly until Marino tried a killer ball. There are a few things based in reality you can criticize him for but not that
     
    He instructs the team, we've been 3-2 up for half an hour
    Exactly. And telling 2 centre backs to get injured in the same game, criminal decision making. Not to mention telling Anthony to leg someone up in the box.

    Don't get me wrong, he's clearly got to go, and tonight hasn't helped that, but we can't blame absolutely everything on him.
     
    Right you are buddy, have a nice night trying to defend the baldy fraud, I'm not getting into it with someone who's clearly living in an alternate reality.
    Basic knowledge of foot is what makes an alternative to yours. Enjoy your big win
     
    No we are not , we are useless bottlers.
    You can't lose 4 defenders in less than 2 games when you've already got 2 injured fb's on the bench, Rashford who can't be bothered to run, two soft pens called against you and about the 12th crazy deflected goal against us this year and not just laugh and say feck it for the year.
     
    We had it and they weren’t even pressing. We were set up perfectly to keep the ball but someone had to try a killer ball every single time. Mainoo was the last to do it and it lead to the pen
    I mean control for longer than 5mins in injury time. We always sit back when in the lead and invite pressure.

    you forgot the ref having a complete 'mare.
    Then adds on 8 minutes out of nowhere, they get a pen after 10 and he still doesn't blow the whistle
     
    Exhausted watching this lot. Tired of it. Probably be more of the same Sunday and rest of the season
    Totally agree, sack him tonight and put an interim in, anyone can set up a team not to be so f…..open in the PL, seriously can not stand this coach, I have never seen a coach do average and yet so full of himself, he doesn’t know how to close games out, he needs to go tonight and that’s all there is to it, lose 12 from 30 games get sacked, simple!

    lose that many leads in so many key games, get sacked !
     
    I mean control for longer than 5mins in injury time. We always sit back when in the lead and invite pressure.
    There was always going to be some pressure but it was by no means desperate and we had control from about 92 minute moving the ball around. Had Mainoo not tried that killer ball it’s three points in the bag.
     
    There's just no composure in our team whatsoever. The lack of maturity in injury time to not just keep the ball, pass it around etc. but to still keep looking for killer balls out wide is just so dumb it's unfunny. And that same lack of composure punctuates the rest of the 90 minutes, too.
     
    It's a hilariously unsustainable way to play games. Was an entertaining watch up until Dalot fell on his face.

    Rashford- the amount of times I just say "please run" to the tv... I feel like a broken record but what's the point of him here. Get diallo up top- he at least would have chased about:

    I wouldn’t be too sure, we have a very good talent of giving away as many corners as needed in injury time to let the opposition score. I should start betting on it.

    All those deflected goals are symptomatic of the fact that our midfielders are never close enough to block a shot at source. The opposition have enough time to get a shot away and the deflections are invariably due to a last minute, desperate lunge.
     
    So Chelsea threw away a 2 goal lead. Utd then threw away a 1 goal lead. And then Chelsea got lucky with the latest goal in Premier league history.
    Utd so unlucky. But both teams look like they seriously lack proper coaching.
     
    Sorry to whip YOU back into reality friendo, but it's not the manager.

    your 3-2 at 97 minutes you make sure you still have one sub left because your allowed 5 and he used all 5 when he could have made a tactical sub to slow the game down, he’s so bad he’ll burn out Kobie, Garnaucho and Hojlund.

    Hojlund looks back to be bang average again, Kobie had his worst game this season because he’s tired and overplayed and someone like Eriksen or Amrabat on the bench when he needs to win 3 points at all costs, shut the game out which he simply can’t do, he’s too inept tactically fir this league and after he’s lost 15 or 16 PL games this season, and of given a chance loses 5 or 6 out of the first 12 then what ?

    Get rid tonight, we are about to find out just how serious Sir Jim is, after all he was there tonight, hopefully Omar Berada is on the phone to Naigelsman who is a huge upgrade on this clown ?

    I would ask Hansi Flick to manage us in the interim period or Julian Lopetagi.

    Chelsea were barely chasing the ball anymore. What would have happened if there any accountability at this club for players doing whatever the feck they feel like is is another 30--60 seconds of ball movement most likely ending in a free kick for us and that kills the game off. Their last goal from the corner wasn't even a cross it was just defending you rarely see in professional football.

    I promise you if you just use your brain a little bit you can find things that were his fault. The last 5 minutes of that match were not and that's not an opinion
     
    Standard practice for our midfield, our of shape and don’t have the legs to get back.Casemiro was really struggiling. We really need to invest in midfield this summer. We really miss Fred.

    Also there were decent bits of play today but then just didn’t have the final ball and our poor ability to just control the ball, control the game is horrendous.

    When we're winning by one goal and we just waste time rather than trying to get another goal, that's on him
     
    Who else is it? :lol:
    The team has been rotten for years. Half of these players wouldn't make ANY top level European team. We've been shit for years as a result of parasitic owners who have used the team as an ATM. We've shat out several managers including Rangnick who told the owners what was needed to right the ship and he was sabotaged like all the managers before him. We'll end up with another shit, yes man like Potter or Southgate and continue to NEVER win ANYTHING. Until we drive out the Glazers and ALL of their toadies, don't expect anything except spoiled, petulant players and mediocre football.

    Well, the fact that we're depending on Mctominay being in correct position in the last 5 minutes of a game tells you how horribly we're run.

    Absolute lala land. Yes the Glazers are the root cause but the manager has spent half a billion quid and taken us backwards as a team. We play some of the most suicidal football I've ever seen played in this league. He's a fecking embarrassment. He could choose to play a proper midfield but instead chucks either Casemiro or Kobbie to the wolves every fecking week by instructing the other 2 midfielders to play as strikers.
