The Manchester United Thread

Fecking keepers against us this season! Very harsh second yellow for Herrera to get sent off! Should of had a peno. Could of scored 10. Happy with how we played. These games hurt though.
 
Ferguson? so much more, even accounting for the years he was there, he has the worst record by a mile.
 
Clattenberg is awful referee, literally sent a player off for slipping over and didn't send their one off for handball when he was on a yellow card already. Stonewall penalty denied in first half as well. Silly little free kicks given to Burnley when defender didn't touch their striker, just fell over to try and get it. Books their keeper for wasting time in added time at the end, but doesn't add anymore on. List is endless.

Honestly no idea how we didn't win that, very painful, but hard to be critical of anything other than the finishing. We created so so many chances it was beyond a joke that it resulted in not 1 goal.
 
Usually there would be loads to rail at, but actually it's just the finishing. Mata was awesome again, so was Pogba

For protesting a stonewall penalty that wasn't given.

Can't imagine how livid he would of acted if he was on the pitch for when Herrera got a 2nd yellow for slipping over.

Happened in midweek at OT as well, with Kelechi and Valencia (i think).
 
That was perhaps one of the most frustrating game I've ever watched.

Probably created more in that game we did in all of LVG's home games. (Slight exaggeration of course).

Difference is with the very very few chances we had in a game with LVG, they would often be taken. Zlatan's missing are proving very costly.

8 points behind, we're aiming for top 4 again this season, but looks promising with that play. My only regret is that we didn't show any of that stuff against Liverpool or Chelsea.
 
Usually hard to be positive after 2 points dropped. But after that I do. Played well, created chances, Loads on target, nice build up play.
 
Imagine how many goals someone like Ruud Van Nistelrooy would of got today, Zlatan cost us a lot with his missed chances. That one with the Pogba ball at the end is near enough a tap in, no idea how he missed it.

Exactly, that's what happens when you play them in position. Now watch Mourinho go back to that 3 man midfield and either drop Mata/play him out on the wing, and also push Pogba up & out of his best role for Swansea or something, which we don't suit at all whatsoever.

I think the Herrera sending off was a massive moment, a man light in keeping up the constant waves of pressure, let alone our best presser.

Thought the same after Stoke, and put it down as 'one of those days', but you can't have a couple of them and you certainly can't keep having them.

Honestly, the Burnley keeper was great. Many strikers would have trouble scoring vs him today.
 
It was one of those days, but we can't afford to keep having many more.

So many golden opportunities though, I mean even that Rooney one at the end from the free kick, he is in the box shooting and skies it. Such lack of composure it's laughable.

Haven't scored a goal in 4 league games, massively worrying and where do we go from here with this season?
8 points behind, hard to see any miraculous recovery on those teams, top 4 at best again surely.
 
For what it's worth, I thought Ibra was pretty good today, barring his missed opportunities. Linked up well, his interplay was sharp, just couldn't find the net which is what he will understandably be judged on, especially when on a drought.
