If anyone puts this on ten Hag, I'm sorry but they're brain dead. We're 2-1 up and then the players just go and fuck it up like that. I'd expect this from Everton or some shit. Inexcusable.

Mate, no one is saying get rid of ETH, but there is an element on him. That gap in the defence.. Icardi has had so much space for since the first half.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I 100% doubt he's telling Casemiro Mount and Eriksen to not track back. Our players are just lazy, they don't track back. The only one who did it was Mejbri and we took him off.

If you believe that the surely some blame lies with EtH.

Don't get me wrong, I 100% support the guy and would be apoplectic if we got rid as quickly as this.

But if our players are lazy (especially the ones he signed himself) then he has to take some blame for that. Part of his job is motivating players and not everyone seems to be motivated, certainly not for 90minutes.

And taking off the only midfielder who was tracking back can only be on him obviously.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

100% it's always a gray area. Some of it is on EtH, and some of it on the players of course. But the fact that the players just don't work enough is on them. You shouldn't need a manager to constantly have to motivate you to run and track back. Playing for this club used to be enough to make you work your socks off, not anymore...

At least we have a striker that does what he should, is strong, fast and can finish. That's my take from this game. Almost a hattrick damnit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hojlund is amazing. Give him good service and let him cook

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Give it time, the club will kill his talent too.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Back on here with Boost for Lemmy! Feels like /r/reddevils all over again. Lets do this!! Come on you Reds!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Let's just use this for the match thread lol. We gonna build it up

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Might as well, don't need 2 threads for 10 comments

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

major Bruh moment, I think if we add up all the time when we lead, we haven't been holding on to a lead for a full 90 minutes across all the games we played.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can't attack, can't defend. We are not a football team. 2 moments of brilliance aside, I'm not sure what kind of football we are trying to play atm.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

we played well, other than the atrocious defending, Rashford apparent lack of confidence, bruno whining too much at his teammates and Casemiro being awful

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm just at a loss of words. We were 70 mins in, crowd is buzzing, they created no chances and then we go and throw the game like this...

I'm scared this will end with ten Hag sacked, even though that is the last thing we need. Glazers need to go first, clearout of old and lazy players, and build up a fucking team with hungry players.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Holy fuck the kid's fast

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Fuck the glazers. Bunch of cunts. Undesirable result, but what can this bunch of players achieve without having the ability to keep the ball for more than a couple passes?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

We're getting in the box and creating chances but we absolutely need to start finishing these

Too bad on the offside goal

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Good play from Hojlund. Proper strength. Been ajes since we had that in a United forward

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Fucking hell guys...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Icardi has so much space. The manager must be seeing it.

I'm at a loss for words...

The turks haven't won a game in Europe for 5 years...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

they haven't won in England in 117 years, lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Why you trying to ruin my day man?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nice to see Rashford getting nutmegged and then just jog back like it's no biggie...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Fuckkk what a sick goal, too bad it's offside

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Rashford

Right decision ☑

Good cross ☑

Assist in the bag ☑

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Rasmus gonna win this for us

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Mentality of a toddler this team...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Goddamn... this team

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hate that there's no accountability. Perform poorly, you just get to start again. But I just hope we win...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Need a convincing win. Let's go!!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We're back in business boys /s. Such poor defending man...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

At least we held the lead for a whole 6 mins this time

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is terrible...

We got rid of De Gea for this...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No De Gea, no Harry Maguire to be scapegoated for this. Our problems are so much more deep rooted than individuals. Just a shitshow all round.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That's for sure.... Our biggest problem is the Glazers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They're playing perfectly to our strength, which is pass to Rashford and inshallah, and we still can't create much...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

OleBall is back and it's here to stay. I'm kind of tired of counter attacking football...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This quick transition football is not going to work when all our players take 2, 3 touches to trap a ball. Also the inability to win 50:50 challenges.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
  • Disastrous goalkeeping
  • The defence and goalkeeper are not working together.

Ten Hag's system is very susceptible to counter attacks.. every opposition team knows this.. the counter attacks are going to come after 70 min especially

The goalkeepers and defenders have to be much better than this for the system to work

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wonderful assist by Rashford! I thought it was hit too fast at first but turned out to be the perfect height and pace for Hojlund's run

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

How are they swarming this defence...
