xG less than 3. United gifted this one, they were diabolical in the 2nd half. Spineless.
I’ve stayed away from proper skitting Utd as I feel the pain and shame you’re feeling.I mean I’m not only on cloud 9 this AM, I’m floating above the International Space Station! But to be on the other side of that ….. To be utterly humiliated, in a PROPER doing, well arguably the worst defeat your clubs ever had, at the single worst ground possible for Utd, against the single worst team possible ….. Fair F’s to the few Utd fans left at the final whistle because if that was roles reversed at Old Trafford, I’d have been gone and been back in town for the first train home at 4. Probably at 3. With my head down for the rest of the week. No matter what happens in the future between our two great clubs, we’ll always have ‘
Remember that day we walloped Utd SEVEN …..’
So I totally feel your pain this morning.
But on the spineless thing …..
We saw a proper nasty side out of Utd yesterday that started well before things got out of hand. Facilitated by Madley who was abysmal in the middle by letting shocking early challenges go unpunished. Which just allowed the S to fester. And then he booked Fabinho for his first F challenge! (And Rashford wants retrospectively banning for feigning a head injury first half, then getting up unscathed when he realised play had gone on and we were attacking down the other end. That S is making a mockery of actual concussions and players need hitting hard over it.).
And as disgraceful in that as Martinez and co were, I have to ask …..
Just how the F is that little shithouse Fernandes your captain? A leader of men he most certainly is not!
To say he was truly pathetic yesterday is an understatement. And its not the first time when things aren’t going for Utd. I've come to fully expect the diving and feigning injury but his actions through the whole game were truly amateurish. The kick out at Robbo and subsequent shove of the Assistant Ref showed his typical petulance and should have earned him an early trip to the changies. The dive where he kicked Alison on his way by and then bayaed for a pen/card was only matched by his facial injury where the Konates hand touched his chest and didn't get anywhere near his face like the rat grabbed and went down like he’d been shot. The only shocking part of the day was that he managed to actually stay in his feet as much as he did for the last fifteen minutes or so.
And to top it off, he was throwing his arms in the air and narking at every other player bar himself!
For all the great changes ten Hags made, that is a proper weird one given such a flakey temperament player the armband.
