Manchester United (A) Match Thread

[Guest ttfn]

I really rate Michael Oliver.

But how the fvck is Fellaini not in the book?

3 fouls he's given, 1 he played advantage for plus the elbow on Huth.

Vardy (apparently, given that the foul he actually got booked for had **** all to it) got booked for persistent infringement the other day with a total of 3 fouls. Then he got sent off for a dive far less cynical and obvious than Lingard's today.

Where's the consistency?

Tough game without Vardy but we've done well enough, had a couple of decent chances apart from the goal and have gradually pushed out their threat as the half went on.

 

I'd put Schlupp up front to give us an outlet with pace.

[MANFACE]

Good half by Leicester, even though Man U look always dangerous on the ball. We are responding very well.

 

 

Bring on the second half.

[KP Fox]

Fantastic match, little battles all over the pitch

[EGBFitness]

Very happy with that half.

Everything expected really, solid defensively!

Should of had a penalty and Rooney should of been booked. Another 30 odd mins of this then go for the win

[AyewJoking]

Dreadful start. Good comeback. Winnable.

[FireFox]

Get Albrighton on.

[TheUltimateWinner]

Oliver was my favourite ref but he's missed two KMIs.

[Sharpe's Fox]

Could have been a peno but needed a replay to call it so no complaints here good tactics by CR so far.

[The Guvnor]

Well HT, curly tops should be off and Mahrez was very unlucky not to get a pen. We have soaked up the pressure really well we just need a bit more composure on the ball as much as I want us to win today a draw would be a proper result.

[foxes_rule1978]

I'm certain the ref gives a fouls on Mahrez if that happened outside the box...

[DelBoy73]

Shaky defending this first half. Stonewall penalty on Mahrez. I fancy us to nick it during whiskey-nose time.

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Thought we were better side after our goal. We were visibly nervous before that. This looks like Man Utd's game against the Spuds I hope. They blew themselves out in that game.

[kingfox]

This game is calling for Demarai Gray.

As for the first half we settled into it, but Simpson & Fuchs are making me nervous.

[Webbo]

Not a bad half. Looks like set pieces might be our best bet. I'm just a bit worried we might get 1 sent off, there's been a few tasty tackles.

To be fair, without your naturally foxy-glasses, Huth had half his hair in his hand. it was 50-50 - both should've been booked. But yeah, an elbow is more than a yellow so, dunno. 

[Matt]

A draw at half time, said I'd take a draw and we're half way there.

Started quite poor I thought but we've come back and looking steady.

[Mark_w]

I can't handle another half.

[The Doctor]

To be fair, without your naturally foxy-glasses, Huth had half his hair in his hand.

True but that doesn't justify Fellani striking out.

[Shamomoa]

Games set for an Andy King winner!

Hope so I've got some money on it! ;-)

[Bryn]

Think I'd hook Okazaki, he's just light weight. Think I'd sooner have an extra rubber from deep. King or Gray.

[BecauseOfBoxingDay]

Growing stronger as the game goes on. Rooney should have been booked for fouling Ulloa. Should have had a pen too. Gray has got to come on at some point.

[LJS]

We've been fine since the nervous opening fifteen. Morgan's goal has settled us down. They can keep tossing crosses in from deep all day to be honest.

[st albans fox]

Jeff seems to be going a bit awol leaving kante to cover Fuchs and gaps in the middle

[Corky]

On first viewing I didn't think it was a penalty on Mahrez so I can see why he didn't give it. Simpson was never a foul but he played a poor ball to put himself under pressure.
