Popular Post sne Posted December 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2023 6 times we've put them offside now already and some people will still think it's down to luck. 7 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I actually can't believe just how offside they've been. A good 3 or 4 yards each time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pregra Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Great scoreline, of course, but not a very good half - especially the latter part has been poor. Thankfully United have zero patience with their runs in behind. Try Diaby at LM/LW in the 2nd half please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnkarl Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 We're such a good team at playing the trap, it's ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol We've got our risk/reward ratio relatively on point I guess. True that haha but I do think at moments tonight we've been lucky United are as shit as they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is Zaniolo hasn't looked any better. That's why JJ's been getting games. I know Zaniolo has a couple of goals but his all round play hasn't been great.

Davkaus Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Well taken goals, cracking score but I'm not enjoying this too much yet. We're catching them offside half the time, but the other half, Rashford and Garnacho are running through us like we're not even there. Their shooting is **** diabolical but it'll only take one to turn the tide. It's not over by a long way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half way through the season and only 2 teams have so far and even then I'd say Newcastle was more luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight it just seems more evident than I can remember (spurs at home aside). It’s everytime the ball goes in behind. It makes me nervous, but we’re so good at it.

AndyM3000 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Good to be ahead but think we are lucky to have a 2 goal load. Overall open play hasn't been the best, Watkins must have so much grass to run into I don't know why we don't look to play him over the top more.

briny_ear Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 That has been a fantastic 45 minutes of Emery ball played to near perfection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Really quite poor since the 2nd goal, the crowd had turned that was the moment to turn the screw. Thankfully they haven't punished us. Need to get back on it in the second half, actually control the football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's not so much missed chances that would make a highlight reel its been poor touches at least 3 times and then overhit passes on a couple too Utd have helped us out here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 5 minutes ago, villa4europe said: Not long ago they would have gone out and taken kane and martinez and be a completely different team I still don’t know why they didn’t. As much as we’d have hated it £75m would have tested us / Emi. Kane went for £100m, I reckon there’s a fair chance he’d have picked United last summer with another baby on the way and the PL goal scoring record in sight. c£175m gets them both most likely. They spent about that on Mount, Onana, Hojlund. Then with someone like Kane upfront instead of Hojlund you get Rashford working harder and performing better. The defenders have confidence in the man behind them. They seem to have the money, but just don’t know how to spend it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
