The old Man Utd Thread

Argh, where was the left side of our defence? 

[5R7]

that was pathetic, oh, and comes from an error of officiating!

 

[feltmonkey]

Really annoying about that throw-in. 

[Liamness]

Great goal, but Maguire (I think?) seemed to step miles out of the defence? Left us very stretched.

 

Bit worried for the rest of this game as we've struggled to keep the ball since scoring.

[Gabzy]

Wow, VAR can't over rule that apparently...

[Gabzy]

If I had a pound for every header Maguire wastes from a corner...

[5R7]

yeah...what its the point in VAR again!?

[feltmonkey]

Their centre back does nothing but commit fouls. He knows he's not going to get sent off in the first half of a semi final so he's just kicking Martial every time the ball goes near him. 

[Liamness]

Ah feck. I think Martial should've done better there. But we're getting forward again, and looking threatening.

 

Yes, they do keep going through the back of Martial and getting away with it. Going to be a tough game for him.

[Gabzy]

You know what, based on Rashford's last 3/4 games he actually shouldn't be starting today. So wasteful in possession it's infuriating.

[5R7]

ffs, that right there, that diving fuck holding his face, thats simulation, he should be booked.

Who would you swap him for? James, Lingard, Mata or Igahalo? I think even a bad/tired Rashford is probably the better option.

[feltmonkey]

That should have been a penalty for that challenge on Fernandes, and a second yellow for their dirty centre back.

Mata all day long.

Edit: as I wrote this he wasted a counter attack by shooting completely off target.

[Gabzy]

Oop another complete waste of a counter attack

[sith]

Jesus, what is wrong with Rashford? He's consistently giving it away and fucked up a great chance just before halftime then.

[feltmonkey]

I think we were the better team in the first half, but I'm worried by how easy they are finding it to get forward on both wings.  I'm also getting annoyed with what a dirty, cynical team Sevilla are.  So many shitty little fouls and so much play-acting.  Even the throw in for their goal came from their manager throwing the ball straight to their player and the linesman just dozily going along with it.

Was this about Williams?

[feltmonkey]

How is it not going in?

[Gabzy]

no...the sevilla twat that dived to the ground holding his face after harry out jumped hi,m while..."touching" his shoulder

[spork]

Seeing a long ball played to AWB in an attacking position with no one around him is a bit like seeing a rebound drop right into the feet of an attacking defender, you just can't get your hopes up.

Yes that was play acting but Williams was equally bad. 

[spork]

These attacks will do wonders for our xG at least!

[Gabzy]

oh my god this is a joke  another worldy performance by a keeper against us

[5R7]

reacting to the sevilla cheating. the ref seems to go for it, we should hit the deck after they come near us!

[5R7]

maybe, igahlo would be a good sub right now!

[5R7]

again, thats not a fucking foul, thats just plane fucking cheating. christ europe needs to issue yellows for simulation.

 

edit - oh, and greenwood clearly gets fouled, and the ref doesn't give it...sure...

[Gabzy]

I wouldn't even mind so much if we got the same shitty fouls as they do. I.e. greenwood got fouled there, nothing given.
