Get Hannibal on. He’ll at least stick the boot in a few people

Our next managers solution.

 

[Xire01]

I’m tired

 

[Isotope]

Any average fullback can make Antony disappear. It's kinda insane.

 

[Oldyella]

Well that was predictably awful.

Bruno and Antony need hooking.

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

not seen one referee with the guts to stand by his original decision

The problem in that half was certainly not the coaching. But you can blame EtH for team selection with Antony, and not having created more of a media shitstorm for VAR.

This is where leadership from the top comes in, encouraging the manager to speak up against VAR, and magnifying his message.

 

[Fortitude]

Everyone looks like they’re doing things at 80%. Every challenge, every run, every pass. Wanted to see a reaction more than anything else.

This is the reaction! I am a bit surprised people are bemoaning the performance. We're rock bottom in confidence, and it's a genuine improvement for us to go in at HT on an even keel.

Expect us to be tremendously nervous and unsure of ourselves if it's 0-0 by 75min.

 

[Smithy89]

It's strange because, in the midst of fans defending Erik or the players I forget how bad we are, we are genuinely total shite.

 

[r0663664]

I think we can win 1-0 coming from McTominay. That's ETH football, 90+ mins special from Maguire or McTominay. That's our pattern of play.....

 

[PlayerOne]

Any average fullback can make Antony disappear. It's kinda insane.

No need for a fullback Antony can do that himself

 

[slored1]

Our goal should have stood. The rest of the half was pretty underwhelming but it completely changes the gamestate by this point. VAR should be binned for such marginal decisions.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Get Hannibal on. He’ll at least stick the boot in a few people

That worked well against Newcastle, didn't it?

Thing is, I don't think it's our lack of effort. The quality just isn't there.

 

[Winrar]

Fulham look pretty clueless… unfortunately for us, we look clueless too.

 

[Oscar Bonavena]

Who the hell signed off the Antony transfer.
Wants shooting. Honestly the guy is simply awful.

John Murtough DOF would have signed off on it but it's 100% a Ten Hag signing, he knew him inside out and back to front from his Ajax days and still thought he was worth spunking 80 million quid on.

Of course, a club that allows a manager have that much say on such an outlay is utterly dysfunctional.

 

[The Kag]

People blaming our 20-year-old striker when we're a team that, despite committing most of our players forward, still can't create chances to save our lives. Imagine that? Opting for a very offense heavy approach, yet you still fail to generate anything notable? That goes far beyond the striker's input. Switch in a different forward and surely our entire play style (or lack thereof) will be rectified and improved upon! What a joke.

 

[Dazzmondo]

Spent the half doing an Only Fools and Horses quiz instead. Apparently I'm a super fan

Congrats, that sounds like a much more valuable use of time

 

[evil_geko]

There is no excuse for striker not being involved in play. Unless you are Pippo Inzaghi type of striker who literally lives on scraps in penalty box. Hojlund's performance is the same as Martial's and Wout's were. Not good enough.

In this game, sure, but overall so far he is far from "not good enough".

 

[Andycoleno9]

I feel bad for Hojlund. Non-existent service, zero support. What's he supposed to do out there.

Be involved more? Winning a header? Trying to hold a ball?

 

[Swedish_Plumber]

Aah BT pundits quick to say it was the correct decision. Even going as far as defending the pressure VAR is under. Wonder what would be said if it’s the other way. Maybe a couple of weeks of VAR favouring United compilations.

 

[Roboc7]

only when you see how limited Fulham are you realize how bad everything is at the moment. because as bad as they look, they don't seem to be under any pressure or danger from United.

It’s two teams who seem to have no idea what to do and just waiting for something to happen. Both teams there for the taking and just fortunate that they are playing someone equally as inept.

 

[Lost bear]

thats unfair, he needs some bloody service. and when he does get it, not much point when our other fwds are stood on the wings and the midfield just watch.

I really like Hojlund, but he has not had a good game so far. Looks pretty fed up, too.

 

[Ahmer Baig]

ETH should really come hard on these VAR officials. Klopp comes hard on these officials and look how his team is rewarded.

 

[lex talionis]

Amigos, let’s look at this as though the glass is half full, not half empty. Problem is, it’s a very small glass.

 

[Ibi Dreams]

We should see this as a good opportunity. They're there to be beaten

 

[always_hoping]

Imagine paying £80million for Antony. That alone should be a sackable offence.

To be fair whoever is manager at this club doesn't set prices, thats done by the clueless business men in charge of transfers and how they negotiate fees. They have regularly overpaid for players.

 

[justsomebloke]

Thoroughly mediocre half. McT and Maguire our best. Not that that says much.

 

[rooneyberbatov]

On NBC they’re saying Maguire impacts the play because if Magurie isn’t there, the defender clears the ball. This is mad.

 

[RuudTom83]

Such a passive easy stroll, zero fecks given by the lads.

Show some aggression ffs!

 

[Rista]

Fulham are pretty bad. If there's one winnable game to raise the spirits then this is it.

 

[Dempsey19]

Remember the days we use score goals.

 

[lex talionis]

The USA halftime announcers have declared that it was a perfect offside decision.

 

[Oly Francis]

This is the reaction! I am a bit surprised people are bemoaning the performance. We're rock bottom in confidence, and it's a genuine improvement for us to go in at HT on an even keel.

Expect us to be tremendously nervous and unsure of ourselves if it's 0-0 by 75min.

It's a pretty common issue, do you judge the performance by United's standards or by current level standards? By current level standards, it's a pretty decent 1st half. By United's standards, it's horseshit.

 

[Smithy89]

Just feck it, go 442 and chuck Martial and Pellistri on.

 

[SouthMancRed]

Why isn't there an option to turn the commentary off and just have the ground audio?

You can on Amazon and it's superb. When you watch a game on there then go back to the usual suspects it hammers how how much better the game is without constant crap being spouted every second of every game.

 

[Lyng]

There is no excuse for striker not being involved in play. Unless you are Pippo Inzaghi type of striker who literally lives on scraps in penalty box. Hojlund's performance is the same as Martial's and Wout's were. Not good enough.

Absolutely daft comment. The one time he got a decent pass he laid it off perfectly only for Bruno to waste it.
Haaland would look like shite in this team.

 

[Seanus]

Mainoo for Erikson worth a try

 

[Swearing Budgie]

Alejandro Granacho

I missed a sitter there tbf

 

[100]

Imagine paying £80million for Antony. That alone should be a sackable offence.

Even if he came here and was tearing shit up, there was nothing that justified that fee

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

Would it be possible for the club to terminate Antonys contract if he'd get sentenced to jail?

His ex-girlfriend doesn't have the guts to go all the way anymore. Doesn't take away the fact that Antony is shite and that our luck with Brazilians has been FUBAR.

 

[Lost bear]

Hes been utterly hopeless since all this investigation started. He wasn't up to much beforehand, but he is visibly worse now.

Should be nowhere near the squad

Yes, he’s terrible. It reflects badly on ETH too, to keep playing him.

 

[Strelok]

the worst run this club has had in over 30 years.

Nah we had many worse. I had to stop watching for a while under Rangnick for the sake of my mental health. First time ever in my 28 years being an United fan.
