Top tip cnut: if your forwards spend more in the opposition half than their own half, they might get a few more penalties too.,
Mourinho: “Bruno had 20 penalties to score”
- Thread starter Moiraine
- Start date
I absolutely love how bitter him and rival fans have been about the number of penalties we’ve got this season.
It’s actually further credit to Ole and the brand of football. It just shows how much more attacking and expansive we have become.
Its not our fault we have fast attackers with quick feet. If opponents stop fouling us then we won’t need any penalties.
Other than the Villa one, virtually every penalty was exactly that, a penalty.
what’s ironic is everyone is bitter about how many we’ve got even with VAR which gets a lot more correct than we used to without VAR.
Maybe we were unfairly treated before VAR and never got as many as we deserved.
oh man it feels beautiful knowing Jose is someone else’s problem. I could see a mile off what was going to happen at Spurs when he went there. I cant wait for their implosion next season. Spurs fans are already on the brink

Having three lightning-quick strikers tends to reward you with more penalties too.
They will be absolutely miles off! I’d be surprised if they make top 4 in the next ten years.
They were very lucky to have a brilliant eleven which was purchased relatively cheap with a great manager in charge. A lot of that team needs rebuilding now with a Scrooge in charge of the finances. No chance they will compete financially with any of the bigger teams for the coming years.
Spurs biggest challenge is going to be keeping hold of Harry Kane. If they lose him, God help them...
Sad little man. Lets hope he doesn't compliment Kane anytime soon.
I wouldn’t call it a nonsense post.
The truth is Jose is broken and bitter. Dinosaur manager who dominated till he was found out.
On that same basis you could defend Arsene Wenger with your same argument despite the fact he was finished long into his last 10 years winning nothing.
By out of job by Xmas . Its Jose he twisted little man who's time is running out as big club manager
We've been slating Jose into the ground since he got sacked, it's only fair he gets to have a go back at us.
I don't see how earning a lot of penalties can be viewed as a negative with video technology involved. All of those penalties were correctly awarded as far as I can remember, so what's the issue?

Good point.
Well maybe if we actually got into the oppositions box from time to time under him we might have had penalties to score from.
This, I find him amusing again now that I'm not pulling my hairs every time he deflects saying something sarcy.
Haha damn some good commemts in there. Take a break guys why you get so mad and bitter for a stupid little joke.
love these Mourinho threads
He's really bitter.
Having been a top manager in the past he has been usurped and bettered by a manager from the Norwegian league, beaten in one of his first matches against us, and finished mid table. Plus he is a gigantic fallus.
One of Uniteds worst ever managers. A remarkable accolade
Poor Jose

There must be something more to this. Can’t remember a United team getting more penalties than the current one.
I remember the own goal fad. Maybe this penalty thing is also a one season anomaly.

We play more attacking football now and get in the box more. When you have players with the technical skills we do, they'll draw more fouls.
Under Ferguson, a lot of our attacks went down the outside wing. Now, both our "wingers" invert and spend more time in the box, resulting in more fouls in the box
It’s just the fact that actual offences now get punished.
We have a bunch of very fast, agile, quick footed attackers and it’s the first year of VAR, a system which by nature is going to result in more penalties.
Rashford, Martial, Greenwood, Bruno, Pogba all running at back fours, no wonder we get so many penalties
A lot of team have much more technical attackers and better attacking philosophy than us and they don’t get as much penalties.
So many times this game out front 5 has had a poor touch at the vital moment. Bruno can’t get it out of his feet and plays a poor pass to Mata instead. Probably should be a penalty but still.
It's a conspiracy to keep Ole in job so that Poch goes elsewhere. Otherwise if United sack Ole and appoint Poch, it will be very bad for competition with United doing quadruple each season.
Again, you guys dont have even near the highest amount of touches inside the opponent box in the PL.
havent seen the stats but i really suspect martial has had alot to do with our penalty success. we play alot of passes in and around the box . Fouls will occur when this happens
Apart from Bruno one against Aston Villa, every single penalty was deserved. Infact we had a lot more denied than awarded
More. More. It’s not enough. I want him to actually score 20 penalties next season
I will like a compilation of all of our penalties this season to validate this claim. No doubt the best attacking trio in football in MMM pace and technical abilities attribute to the catalogue of penalties we had this season, but I feel like the the number is unusually high for a team.
I don't know if the rate of penalties awarded has ramped up since Bruno Fernandes was signed, as that is period of the season I think United played genuine attacking football. My perception of the early half of the season is United were also being awarded a lot of penalties, though admittedly I don't how the rate pre Chrismas compares with the rest of the league vs post Christmas.
Can’t access it. Need a YouTube compilation of all penalties we had this season.
It looked really soft. There was a hand on his shoulder but no pull or anything that I saw.
3 out of 14. Plus two clear cut not given.
VAR has proven beyond doubt that United were not given enough penalties under Fergie
I am still bitter about Carragher tackle on Carrick. Was at the game but never saw replay of it. Carrick was upeneded.
I'm still furious at the horrific tackle by Carragher on Nani at Anfield. Potential leg breaker which went totally unpunished!
1min 55s into the video
Still think the Heinze challenge was superb. He got the ball first but the movement on the ball was minimal, the scissor motion is to try and get the ball again. It's a fantastic challenge and I hate that that would be deemed a red.
It‘s not about the amount of touches, it‘s about dribbling, shielding and speed.
Please add the team you support to your profile.
Nah, I remember back to when I was in a busy pub and someone put their hand on my shoulder to squeeze past me and for some reason my legs just buckled. It was the strangest thing. Of course that never happened because it's physically impossible but you get the gist of it...
Until officials stop buying the ridiculous dives it'll continue to happen. It baffles me how a referee can look at the United penalty tonight for example and come to any conclusion other than Martial literally made the conscious effort to go to ground rather than being brought down by the opposing player. That's simulation. It's a scourge on the game. And that's nothing against Man United or Martial, every club is at it, mine included.
Hah, no worries.
And exactly, the bolded pretty much sums up my thoughts on the matter.
Should be two more yesterday.
