MMansuke replylemmy.world1Hide 1 replySo true, the penalty one was iffy but also the kind of call that VAR doesn't usually overturn if given but of course that goes against us haha2Reply
Astrealix lemmy.worldRice is taking up some of the positions that Partey was while he was RB which seems interesting3Reply
Astrealix lemmy.world2Hide 2 repliesStill can't believe we have Declan Rice. I don't think I ever will.3Reply
Astrealix replylemmy.worldWhen he's just on the pitch I'm fine, it's when they take the camera to him that I'm like wow2Reply
ccoygsu lemmy.worldWe need to counter this sub. No way Evans can keep up with Nelson or Trossard.3Reply
Astrealix replylemmy.worldYeah. I can understand Taylor not giving that, a tiny bit. VAR should've given it. It's a clear and obvious error1Reply
ccoygsu lemmy.world1Hide 1 replyNo impetus in attack this match needs Trossard, Vieira, Nelson and or ESR3Reply
MMansuke replylemmy.worldViera was great when he came on last weekend for sure, always looking to create something which we need1Reply
Astrealix lemmy.worldThink we should switch to a bit of the 3-4-3 diamond we did in the Shield, try and push for a winner in these last ten minutes.2Reply
Astrealix lemmy.worldWhy do people watch Man United, they're not just looking like Newcastle at this point.2Reply

Astrealix lemmy.worldDid not realise Havertz could run like that tbh. Terrible deceleration though2Reply
Astrealix lemmy.worldI'm ngl, Saka is beginning to annoy me, feels a bit too complacent and settled in his spot. Some sloppy passes today again.2Reply
Astrealix lemmy.worldReally doesn't feel like Man U have more possession but apparently they do lol2Reply
MMansuke replylemmy.world3Hide 3 repliesI don't think we've seen the Sake-White connection down the right at all this game, he's got off kinda easy so far2Reply
Astrealix replylemmy.world2Hide 2 repliesI mean, given how bad Lindelof has been and with Nketiah's drifting over there, it's not been bad.1Reply
MMansuke replylemmy.world1Hide 1 replyOh I'm not saying it's bad, just that the connection last season between the two was devastating, I think Eddie played the lines and width really well this game1Reply
Astrealix lemmy.worldReally thought Gabriel was gonna get a yellow card there. Not that he deserved it but trauma lol2Reply
Astrealix replylemmy.world2Hide 2 repliesIt is such a bad away kit. I'd argue ours is better. Which is saying a lot.2Reply
Astrealix lemmy.worldForgot that it ain't De Gea anymore. He's been there so long, it just feels weird.1Reply
ccoygsu lemmy.world3Hide 3 repliesHavertz missed a sitter and started Utd’s counter attack which lead to goal. How long before he's subbed out?1Reply
thatdosbox replymstdn.ca1Hide 1 reply@HaleEndGrad @coygsu wouldn't be so sure. He's been decent defensively. Got back and stopped a few attacks. Just needs to take his chances.4Reply
IronEagleBird lemmy.world1Hide 1 replyWe fucked around for 25 minutes so Rashford can score the opener.1Reply
Astrealix lemmy.worldNgl we hardly look like our usual selves in attack, idk if that's tactical but our defensive line are so much deeper1Reply

UNITED FUCKED IN FERGIE TIME, YOU LOVE TO SEE IT!
tbf it ain't Fergie time cuz of how much Onana was stalling lol
inject it!
JESUS!!!!!!!
GABRIEL JESUS
ECHOES OF THE BOURNEMOUTH GAME DECLAN RICE MY MAN
Honestly a very similar goal in some ways lol
Drops free to the man at the far post, chests it down, right foot finish
Reiss looks so fucking hungry wtf
"let's wait until Arsenal begin to mount an attack before blowing the whistle"
First time?
Imagine telling someone we'd see Maguire and Evans in the same back 4, and it's not for Leicester
Nicolas Jover with a yellow. My fuckin set piece coach!!
Random thought, what if we jsut get coaches to run onto the pitch and get yellows to stall time lol
All gets added on now no?
No fucking clue
RICE RICE BABY
I saw this right before the corner was taken. I was like what are you talking about? Lol
didn't even get a chance to comment my rage about the goal we conceded
Surprised we haven't made a sub yet.
What a load of bullshit
If that was called against Arsenal, I would have said it wasn't a pen. 50/50 for me, in all honesty.
@coygsu @9point6 if david luiz knocking the knee of that wolves player years ago is a pen then that’s a pen for havertz
Luiz's was never a pen but this one is 50/50
@coygsu yeah but they gave it 🤷♂️
MAN OF THE MATCH!
Mikel's journey on the M25 should be a documentary
@Astrealix definitely a @poorlydrawnarsenal @[email protected] animated series
WORTH EVERY FUCKING PENNY
Jesus welcoming back Johnny Evans to the Prem
Anthony Taylor just wants to watch United suffer at this point
Vieira pls do what you did last time
Perfection. The Garnacho goal sunk the feeling then boom boom.
DECLAN
THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR THAT PENALTY STOLEN FROM US
Antony might be worse of a diver than Fernandes.
I'm immediately proven wrong lol
Really enjoying seeing Martinelli use his left foot more to cross, I feel like he was getting predictable
How's that for smash and grab for you!
Saka, my boy, wtf was that
If someone else is coming off. It should be Saka not Martinelli
Kinda want to see Nelson ngl
Yes, that's a shot made by a tired leg
This is Nelson's first game all season isn't it?
Like including preseason; was he injured for the whole thing or just most of it I forget
It's fine. We don't need the refs anyway in this fixture, never have
I'm ok with these subs
Not a fan of Tomi coming on, feel like we're sacrificing something in attack
Protecting Zinchenko right I guess? First start since injury, if he's off on international duty too they won't have the same considerations
Oh yeah, fair enough
Exactly, Zinchenko was the starting point of a lot of the attacks
not delighted but it should do
VAR actually doing something for us, I'm actually shocked! Needs to be a wake up call for us, we haven't been good enough in attack
@Mansuke @Astrealix Var taketh (penalty) and Var giveth (offsides)
So true, the penalty one was iffy but also the kind of call that VAR doesn't usually overturn if given but of course that goes against us haha
@Mansuke usually doesn’t happen in the same game though
Can't believe Saka tried that, if only
That doesn't help Havertz's case...
Rice is taking up some of the positions that Partey was while he was RB which seems interesting
Still can't believe we have Declan Rice. I don't think I ever will.
I'm surprised every time I see him. Haha
When he's just on the pitch I'm fine, it's when they take the camera to him that I'm like wow
NO NEED FOR A MATCH RATING GIVE EVERYONE A 10 INCLUDING VAR
Idk about var they stole a pen from us XD
LMAO, THE OFFSIDE CALL WAS NEEDED
We need to counter this sub. No way Evans can keep up with Nelson or Trossard.
Ironic we have this much control using players in their natural roles
That Saka yellow is hilarious, in a very I-want-someone-fired manner
BIG DECK ENERGY
Supermarkets in trouble, we're all eating Rice for dinner tonight
I got mad and went to fill my coffee up, of course I miss the goal lol
FAIRYTALE ENDING.
Has anyone seen Zinny on the left side of the pitch yet?
Martinelli was the best player of the first half
That's a fucking red, DOGSO bruh
Almost kicked Eddie in the face
Mancunian referees union
Yeah. I can understand Taylor not giving that, a tiny bit. VAR should've given it. It's a clear and obvious error
And the high boot
No impetus in attack this match needs Trossard, Vieira, Nelson and or ESR
Viera was great when he came on last weekend for sure, always looking to create something which we need
Think we should switch to a bit of the 3-4-3 diamond we did in the Shield, try and push for a winner in these last ten minutes.
REISSSSSSSS
He's gonna score in the 98th minute
Why do people watch Man United, they're not just looking like Newcastle at this point.
Missing the pure vitriol from this fixture
WE'RE BACK BABY
Back to instantly replying to goals, I can't believe it
What was that from Casemiro to Hojlund lol
Big brother vibes.
Putting on my away kit for these last few moments cuz it is feeling too hot and I need soemthing more cool but also cuz COYG
fuck off antony
We need Rashford to wake us up I guess.
I had to leave just after FT (and so did NBC apparently) but I'm back to soak in all the banter.
Masterful sub by Arteta putting Jorgi on
MY CAPTAIN
When is Onana getting a yellow card
I don't know if it was the camera angle bit when the players exited the tunnel, we seemed so much taller.
I mean that's part of what we did this summer; Rice and Havertz are tall bulky lads.
Decent block from Havertz that
I THOGUHTT HYA WAS GOING IN
MARTINELLI SO CLOSE
Reiss came on ready to go
IT'S HARRY MAGUIRE!
Can't believe he's still there, almost feel bad for him.
I can't believe they've actually signed Johnny Evans
Come on Arteta this team needs a sub
HOW IS THAT NOT A RED?!?!!
Højlund already looks a United player, how's he gotten away with all that
It's Scott McTominay all over again
Already so tense. I hate this sport sometimes lol
That ref on the touch line looks vaguely like Mourinho
F U C K K K K K
Did not realise Havertz could run like that tbh. Terrible deceleration though
What a terrible shot from what a brilliant run from Ødegaard
Havertz winning the pen
He's looked sharper this half
I'm ngl, Saka is beginning to annoy me, feels a bit too complacent and settled in his spot. Some sloppy passes today again.
What is the crowding thinking urging Saliba to shoot
Really doesn't feel like Man U have more possession but apparently they do lol
We really should do throwins quicker.
Dalot is a surprisingly decent LB
I don't think we've seen the Sake-White connection down the right at all this game, he's got off kinda easy so far
I mean, given how bad Lindelof has been and with Nketiah's drifting over there, it's not been bad.
Oh I'm not saying it's bad, just that the connection last season between the two was devastating, I think Eddie played the lines and width really well this game
Idk how Jesus gets back in this team if Eddie keeps this up lol
That was selfish from Rashford
WHAT IS THAT
Let's take that frustration from thinking they scored and go win
Havertz, oh boy
That was bad.
Really thought Gabriel was gonna get a yellow card there. Not that he deserved it but trauma lol
Doesn't matter let's go win this
Fuck
That's a yellow then Lindelof should be banned from the sport, lol
United's kit makes me think we're playing Newcastle.
It is such a bad away kit. I'd argue ours is better. Which is saying a lot.
It's ugly but not as ugly as the radioactive zebra
Idk, it's terrible up close imo lol
HE'S OFF
Fuck yes
DAMN :(
Speaking of those fast throw ins, good one there
MARTIN ODEGAARD
Cmon lads let's not concede in the first minute this time
That's all I needed
Forgot that it ain't De Gea anymore. He's been there so long, it just feels weird.
So many awkward marginal fouls in that sequence there lol
I mean that's a foul by Ødegaard but wtf is that whistle
Also I can't believe Lindelof plays ahead of Maguire tbh
Havertz missed a sitter and started Utd’s counter attack which lead to goal. How long before he's subbed out?
He'll be subbed out first today
@HaleEndGrad @coygsu wouldn't be so sure. He's been decent defensively. Got back and stopped a few attacks. Just needs to take his chances.
Almost feels like 2122 Xhaka. We need him on the ball as well.
Martinelli 🔥
We fucked around for 25 minutes so Rashford can score the opener.
We really hate doing things the easy way
Definitely pressing more so far.
Feel like Saliba shoulda done better there
How's that not kicking the ball away???
I don't know this penalty is 50/50 for me
Ngl we hardly look like our usual selves in attack, idk if that's tactical but our defensive line are so much deeper
Good save!
What was that from Saliba lol
Finally a card for Onana
I mean that's gotta be a pen
He still knocks Havertz off balance
Yeah exactly, it's a clear pen imo tbh
OK NOW SCORE A FUCKING GOAL
The angle they've been showing from VAR is terrible tbh
That was nice link up between Tomi and Vieira
I hate that Lindelof is on the pitch, he really shouldn't be
Bargain bin Haaland coming on
Yeah I thought that would be a yellow, glad to see they actually gave it.
Things you love to see, let's foggin go bois
Trossard for Martinelli, Vieira for Havertz pls
Looks off to me
I hate this
FUCK YOU MASON GREENWOOD APOLOGISTS
