Amazing that the ref didn’t even see that as a booking, red or yellow.

Tetê the most overrated player, ever

That has come even quicker than I thought. He is a good player but Brazilian is not a synonym for genius.

Does anyone think that Rashford’s shoulder is ahead of his foot?

If by below average you mean absolute dogshit league one at best, then yes I do tend to agree with you there mate.

I was trying to be polite and measured

Yeah the ref is so well positioned and just looks  right at it and thinks nothing of it. Disgraceful. Then mendy gets booked for a clean challenge

Awful angle for the VAR too. Surely there was a better camera angle available?

They should have played most of the game with 10 men, ended up playing with 12

Would have made a difference losing someone in midfield.

Drew the lines in the position that made sure he was onside. Corrupt as ****.

If you are going to play 4 attacking players they have to do more than that.

 

At times it was 6 or 7 Man U players against 4 or 5 Leicester players.

 

 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Thought we were good value first half, terrible the second. Still reckon we'll beat the teams we're meant to and be fine.

 

Danny Ward needs taking out the back mind and Soumare delivered the worst cameo I've ever seen.

 

Not gonna be overly bothered about today.

Not really - looks like his foot was furthest forward to me.

Yeah. The angle or lack of zoom makes it really difficult to be confident that they are 100% right there 

[Fazzer 7]

Some of the comments in here are embarrassing. Yes the VAR was dodgy. But we were up against a currently superior Utd who are in rampant form.

I don’t think they can apologise for our players not bothering after 20 mins or our fan base wanting to jump on any excuse other than we simply weren’t good enough. Decisions just don’t go your way and we don’t have it in us to make a referees game tough for them and try and force the decision. Other teams would have been around Attwell screaming for a red, we just stand and watch Faes hold his knee.

I was thinking the same mate! Imagine Fans does that job on fernandez's knee and he roll's around like he's been shot and all the manure players surround the ref and game halted just imagine the pressure on VAR. I bet a million dollars they send Fees offbeat its us so we get nothing not even a yellow and our players don't support each other. That crap mentality has to change we gotta get more steely and dirty like the opposition or we get nothing in these games. Small details have big outcomes just saying.

[coolhandfox]

If you are going to play 4 attacking players you need a DM who sits in front the back 4.

 

To often KHD and Mendy cover to much of the pitch and not sitting.

[Harry the Cat]

There we have it. Iheanacho showing his failings and why he’ll never be world class. He can’t consistently hold the ball up and link the play. Soumare loping along without any urgency and standing and appealing for a throw in instead of getting on with the game. Faes diving in and absolving himself of any defensive reponsibilties by continually being out of position. Most worrying for me was was Maddison’s attitude and body language at times. As captain, we need him to lead by example and not acting like a petulant child. Vardy is shot. He offers nothing at the moment. 

[Bryn]

Close game. Scoreline doesn't tell the truth. Move on.

[RowlattsFox]

Defence get a lot of shit but so often the midfield could either run at them or play through balls. So hard to defend that.

And in addition, they are measuring off Faes Fore arm

Seemed to be checked very quickly unlike last week.

[SixtiesFox]

My anger with 'that' today reached beyond boiling point. Yes Barnes missed a sitter, yes Faes makes rash decisions, yes Ward is distinctly average and yes Rodgers has often been the object of my ire, but today all my anger is directed towards the rotten carcass which is the Premier League! Real football fans up and down the country are being taken for fools!

Observations - can’t see when the ball was released - conveniently. Line doesn’t match the lines of the grass - not straight. Worst angle ever. 
 

and that foul…how is that not a red?? That could have damaged his knee.

I'm inclined to stay positive given our recent results, the way we played first half, and the fact it was Old Trafford.

 

But a few things remain true.

 

1 - We have an awful goalkeeper. 

 

2 - When an opposition manager changes something, Brendan is either too thick or too egotistical to counter the change in tactics. United went tight on Kelechi second half and we played right into their hands. Switch it up when it becomes apparent they've wised up to it. Have a plan B.

 

3 - When things go pear shaped, we are too mentally fragile to grab a game by the scruff of the neck and change it. We felt sorry for ourselves and threw in the towel.

 

4 - Faes, while largely tidy and a good defender, will tend to have one brain fart per game. 

 

I think we'll stay up, but some common themes still to iron out.
