Is that 4 pens conceded in the last 5 games? The concentration levels are absolutely terrible.

Shout out to Casemiro, who spent the last 20 mins playing where the feck he wanted!

The pen against Coventry was bs. Ref making a bad call and VAR pretending to have a job by allowing it. Neither was a pen as the arms were in natural positions in both instances.

Onana costly again. Does it too often. Ruined a great game by him aswell to boot.

needs to cut this out big time

Why does he get the blame here? Casemiro heading the ball softly there for the vibes did us no favour.

I honestly have no clue what formation we played at the end. Total free for all, no shape, no quality. ETH has to go now

Sick of these players being tired after 70 minutes. They're out of Europe ffs.

We drew this because our forwards didn't take any of their chances in that first 30 minutes.

Threw the kitchen sink in at the end and couldn’t pull it out.

Feel bad for Onana, as he had single handedly at times kept us in the game.

Maguire with a really good match today. Just about the best I’ve seen him play for us in a long time.

Inexperience up front showed today with the inability to put chances away & honestly the 1 we got was almost a fluke with Antony falling over as he struck it.

They always pull the trigger too late and then the new boss has no time to assess the squad and prepare for next season. Rinse and repeat.

We've already missed out on Arne Slot too.

We are our own worst enemies. Off the pitch and on it. Glazer Culture. The reboot can't happen soon enough.

Antony losing out on 2 winning goals due to our stupidity and naivety in defence in this month.. I can't decide if I feel sorry for him or to point out that Karma is, in fact, a bitch.

I agree, but give neither or give both. The pen we conceded the ball had gone and it wasn't serious foul play so should never have been a pen. We seem to concede a weak pen every week.

I swear to god, this is the worst United team ever assembled by the great Erik Ten Hag. Zero control of the game, stupid goalkeeper who thinks he will get away to silly foul. He got lucky with Wolves. I cannot understand why Onana us a ball magnet, every ball out to CB or FB will end up going back to him. Just at the start of 2nd half, one kick up the field and Burnley got 3 attackers against 2 CB. What kind of coaching is that? Why almost every goalkick ended in a corner or throw-in to Burnley??? This how we train daily, passing from the front where we would lost the ball everything. AWB and Antony on right side doesn't work, it seems ETH doesn't understand. 1-1 against Burnley, what a joke?! ETH get the fxxk out of United.

ETH really doesn’t know it, his fate was settled three months ago, I’ll drive him back to Amsterdam.

He has supporters, but surely even they must have finally given up on his huge tactical deficiencies as a coach, Another £200 made by putting £20 on at 10-1 at 83 minutes standard ETH can’t hold a league, you think the bookies might have worked it by now!

I’m sure like most United fans, I’m simply oblivious to this team and coach now!

That poor result probably means Man United will need to beat Newcastle to stay 6th and I wouldn't be too confident of that happening, on the plus side this long season is nearly over.

As for the game today, dominated the opening 20 minutes somehow didn't score and the fact they didn't came back to haunt. 2nd half such a disjointed error ridden half of football fitting two goals came from errors. Onana foolishly gave the penalty away and no doubt some will blame him for the dropped points but only for his top drawer 3 or 4 saves United would have conceded a few more goals today. Burnley only one defeat in 8 games now and earned their draw today but that match could easily have been 4-4 instead of 0-0.

A game that highlights our frankenstein's monster of a squad.

We've got Bruno and Garnacho wanting to play a fast transitional game, but Mainoo and Eriksen are too young and old respectively to run up and down the pitch all day long, they need a side that has control and dominates midfield to make the most of their clever passing angles.

We've got a striker that plays high and therefore needs penalty box service, but we've got an inverted winger on one side and a goalscorer on the other, so he gets none.

We've got CBs that can probably play a safety-first high line game ok, or can defend the penalty area deep, but we're doing neither of those things.

The full back situation is like deciding between wearing two left shoes or two right shoes.

We've got a keeper who loves to play fast long passes, but our entire frontline is dreadful at holding up the ball.

We can criticise the individual players for their form and we can acknowledge the glut of injuries that has made things worse. But this is such an incompatible group of players that, however we want to play football, half the team can't manage it.

The squad is not equipped to sit deep and play counter attack, not equipped to press high and transition from the front and not equipped to control the ball and dominate. Instead we switch between doing each of these badly, and doing nothing at all.

What a shambles. I don't care which manager we have next season, the team overseeing our recruitment is 100X more important.

I don’t really look forward to international tournaments. They’re more like a summer bonus when there’s no football.

i cant wait for the euros this summer. Just a nice distraction from the absolute shite we have to suffer week in week out

Was going to give Onana motm until he did that.

Good for the first 20mins and then poor.

Huge gaps in behind our midfield yet again.

I don't have to decide. I just want to same rules applied to every team. We can't have different rules when it comes to us.

Hojlund needs to take a lot of the blame for today, pretty invisible. EtH did right to take him off but should have had the balls to put Wheatley on.

For the handball decision? Because I'm not sure the Onana incident can be anything less than a penalty.

But we're relying on that to stop us from winning by a single goal against a team who are likely to get relegated. And it's not the first time. We're so shit it's unreal.

Yeah, Ten Hag should've forseen Casemiro attempting a ridiculous header back and Onana punching someone in the face. He should've drilled them in training the whole week leading up to this game specifically to prevent this from happening. Also the fact the players are made off glas is his fault.

Let's get Inzaghi, Tuchel, or Southgate and be in the same situation in 2 years time after a promising initial season!

Still another 4 games to wade through until the final.
Why does the end to this season feel so stretched out?

We really need to get someone, anyone from the missing defender list back asap.
We can't keep playing 8th choice Casemiro there.

There's nothing elite about this team. Everything is mediocre, the way we attack, the way we lose the ball and the way we keep having to sprint back and forth aimlessly, wasting everyone's energy for nothing. We have a lot of players with limited technical skills, physicality and bad decision making, usually this kind of players need a very strict system to flourish but our football currently just not supportive and protective enough for anyone to play in.

Well tbf those will be ETH's last 5 games here so he can go out on the bed he made for himself by signing him. Quite fitting in a way.

Imagine if this team were under pressure and playing for something. This is how they play with no pressure. Sad.

So poor and Burnley maybe had the better chances?
