Manchester United 0:1 Real Sociedad

Post-match discussion


Thu, 08 September 2022

Meh, progress isn't linear, I really don't care about the Europa League, and it was a weird night given what's happened today. Not arsed.

Edit: congrats Sociedad, possibly deserved it insofar as you were no worse than us, also not a penalty.
 
Awful, awful performance, topped only by an even worse decision by ref and VAR.
 
Awful refereeing for the pen and the lack of added time.

Ronaldo is finished and Sancho is useless. Eriksen bossed it in the first half and Martinez was extremely impressive aside from a badly timed aerial duel against Sørloth and a bad penalty decision.

Casemiro looks rusty as he keeps on gifting balls to the opposition.
 
Martinez man of the match.

Ref - cnut of the match.
 
David Silva still destroying us. Wtf
 
Shit atmosphere, shit coverage, game shouldn't even have gone ahead
 
Slow tumescent football for the majority of the game. Midfield minus Eriksen continues to be shite
 
Ronaldo is finished.
Sancho is worryingly terrible
 
Mostly in control, did nothing with it. Second choice players did little to suggest they should be more than that. Terrible penalty call.

Still, growing pains I guess.
 
I'm glad the penalty happened or I may very well have died from boredom
 
Just going to repeat the below from another thread because it holds true:

Ronaldo is an issue and we all know it. We have absolutely no fluidity when he plays. Casemiro needs minutes, he's barely played since he signed. Maguire doesn't fit EtH's style of play, and him having a role is simply a necessity if we're to retain any semblance of match fitness throughout the season.

This is a transitionary period in our history, we're not an amazing team because we won three games on the trot. Our recovery is going to take time.

Didn’t do enough to win but a completely and utterly incompetent ref call cost us the game. Poor opposition who just time wasted from that moment onwards. Embarrassing all around from the VAR team really.
 
Never a pen.

Fred garbage.
Maguire so slow on the ball.
Ronaldo looks a shell of himself.
 
We didn't deserve to win, but we didn't deserve to lose either. That was a shocking decision to decide the match.

But we simply weren't good enough. Ronaldo is looking pretty heavy legged these days.
 
Only the first match in the group. Also I really don’t care about the Europa league this season. Progress in the league is where it’s at for me this season.
 
Meh, felt the halftime subs didn't help. We needed Bruno for Fred not Eriksen, and Martinez for Dalot felt a bit pointless too.
 
Just offered very little but a draw was a fair result only the refs had other plans. They either don’t know the laws of the game or are cheating cnuts.
