Match Thread Manchester United v Leicester

[City Fan]

We are getting truly battered

 

[popillius]

Soumare isn't a footballer. He just isn't.

Nacho, Maddison, Castagne and Faes have all been utterly, utterly shit as well.

 

[Brown Nose]

It’s a ****ing joke. And again, they’ll get away with it because it’s United. ****ing sick of it.

It's just angles. Last week and this. They're not drawing the lines to stitch us up.

 

[homer]

Whole second half has been shamefully bad

 

[Miles Away]

Or people are fixating on the goalkeeper whilst the defence in front of him capitulated like a Weetabix in warm milk every time any attacking player comes near them.

If you need to buy a goalkeeper to bail you out in every game, perhaps your squad is in need of an overhaul.

Again, I think you are missing the point. He isn’t premier league standard. It’s very clear and he should be replaced in the summer.

Yeah I don’t know why but I always forget how biased the coverage is.

Today we’ve been treated to some bent officiating too. Not that I’m still watching but I can imagine they’re at fever pitch now that Man Utd have been gifted a win.

 

[SilverFox]

That’s numberwang

 

[homer]

Again, I think you are missing the point. He isn’t premier league standard. It’s very clear.

Oh God yes, that’s definitely true

But on a list of today’s hopeless twats he’s only about ninth or tenth

 

[popillius]

Tete was garbage in that second half.

 

[SilverFox]

 

[homer]

Tete and nacho went off at half time

****ing shite

 

[Miles Away]

Oh God yes, that’s definitely true

you should watch the second again. He looks ridiculous.

That is probably true, but he shouldn't be in the frame for any of the nonsense today. He's been hung out to dry by the ****s in front of him.

 

[popillius]

you should watch the second again. He looks ridiculous.

He's trying to stay tall. It's the right thing to do. Rashford can do what he likes by this point, he's going to score.

Like I say, he may not be the future for us but his name shouldn't be anywhere near the top of the blame list today.

 

[homer]

I’m on Soumare watch for this last ten mins or so

Currently wandering around aimlessly without a ****ing clue

I’ve done this before. It’s pretty grim. He just doesn’t appear to be…trying.

You say that but they (keepers) have made a big difference today. If Ward’s in goal for United we’re 3-0 up before they’ve even woken up and the game’s over.

Having a great keeper is not just the saves. It’s the confidence it gives the defence as well.

And for the record - I think Schmeichel is more of a problem for Rashford’s first. No guarantee he saves it but you can be sure he’d have flown out with arms spread wide.

 

[Feriol]

Men against boys in the second half. We have been abysmal!

 

[Brown Nose]

Barnes at his cowardly best today. Hiding in plain sight.

Maddison worse though. Absolutely awful.

 

[SilverFox]

It’s a shame a manager can’t just call it. That’s enough. You’ve won. Well done. Smashing bunch of lads you have.
