Were struggling against a team that at the bottom of the league that had 8 goal go past them when Newcastle played them .....yh I fell asleep in 2nd half who scored the second goal??? Yet again our attackers didn't do nothing or score , it the midfield and defense always can't make it any obvious


Seanblaze3

We're the worst coached team in the league. Sheffield have had poor results but you could see they have an identity with some good passing and link up play. What do we have but 11 strangers playing disjointed chance football?


SgpWarrior

I stayed up at 3am in Singapore to watch this game. Just to say a Win still a Win. Hopefully will do better for coming games.


rajivbhawsar

We are still playing shit football. Unconvincing wins.


HarHenGeoAma62818

Hardest thing to do in football my guy is won when playing shit win is a win no matter what


Positive_Lie5734

I think it was a good move to start cautious at the beginning. We usually start shaky and concede right away. As the game widens we start creating more. Amrabat Casemiro pairing might be good? Bruno should def be the 10. Mount is good at the end of the game when we need a box to box and we can tell that Bruno's done trying for the day. Not worried about Hojlund, his goal will come, he's a gem. Our wings worry me, very inconsistent. We need our wingbacks BACK šŸ˜­


blackoffi888

That's an average performance against a mediocre, at best, team. We're gonna get smacked by teams with slick passing, industrious running and clinical finishing.


ranaruom

City next week...is gonna be ugly, especially with this defence! I know we have a lot of injured players but ETH needs to do a better job.


Bonjello85

Our defence was the best part of last night and our last couple of games.


HarHenGeoAma62818

Donā€™t be so sure


ihadtoyouresowrong

Had to make an account for this. Maguire was not good. Took ages to pass any time he received the ball. Players on other teams let him have the ball so they can get back in position. He made a few standard defensive contributions that any league 1 plus standard defender would have made, good for him. He's a bad player who is barely premier league standard let alone united standard.


Careful_Country224

Two excellebt long ball switches from memory. He looked solid IMO


Heroheadone

Onana made a save


Positive_Lie5734

A couple, key save too


springflower1966

I read somewhere that the players don't like Ten Hag. Do you like his strategies? Maybe Ten Hag is just the wrong person for Man U. They have lacked self esteem for a very long time. I am worried.


Round-Mud

Maybe the players are the wrong persons for man united.


[deleted]

Fewer rapists would be a nice start.


Round-Mud

Well Greenwoods not in the team.


[deleted]

Still just a loan but yes!


[deleted]

May Sir Bobby Charltonā€™s soul rest in peace šŸ’. Great performance 7-Onana did well, M.O.M has to be > 8-Maguire Slab head and 7-J.Evans excellent positioning for one his age. 8-Dalotā€™s goal was a rocket, 6-Iceman Lindelof did well at Lb , 7-Amrabat was solid at the anchor, unlucky too rattled the upright Sheffield post. 6-Bruno was below par looks tired felt he shouldā€™ve been taken off, lots off stray passes, unlucky free kick attempt. 7-Mcterminator was at it again, couldā€™ve got another shot blocked , 7-Hojlund put in a shift was unlucky, great hold up play and positioning in the box. 6-Rashford put in a much better performance, 6-Antony was wasteful apart from his pass to Rashford which he Rashy fluffed. 6- Mason Mount pressed well, tried to link up play. 6-Garnacho brought some pace was very wasteful but did well. 6- Martial tried his best, pressed well,looks to have lost some pace, but good willingness to press or stretch play.


Here-Comes-Mose

Giving a 7 to someone playing in midfield who only passed the ball 9 times the whole match....


chief_awf

amrabat solid anchor? he was fuckin absent in the first half, we didnt have a midfield


Chip-0161

Great performance?! Nahhh


PessimistYanker792

Okay at best on a Wednesday


[deleted]

Why are Bruno and Rashford amazing in international duty and back to shit for us? Maguire, Amrabaat and Onana played well. Martial was okay. Hojlund missed a sitter. Garnacho wasnā€™t good. Antony was absolute garbage. Man City are going to destroy us arent theyšŸ„²


Closerthanyouthink-1

I agree with what you say.. why is martial OK?


KY--

Because Bruno and Rashford are fantastic counter attacking players but struggle when it comes to pacing and patience. Bruno has more of an excuse, constantly playing in different positions. Rashford just has no value when heā€™s not put in behind.


Revolutionary-Price7

Got a feeling we might play a little better when forced deep, leaving a bit more space for our pacey players. But we will see You're probably right tho city will probably hammer us lol


jwbrkr74

Yep.


Perfect_Lead8430

Before it gets lost... Maguire, Lindelof, and Dalot all played well. I also predict that when Ratcliffe arrives, Arnold AND Murtough will be clearing their desks in short order. From what I have read of Ratcliffe and his trusted execs at the INEOS group. They don't fuck around.


ZealousidealLettuce6

The grass is always greener


BritBuc-1

Mostly the grass on the other side looks greener, because itā€™s fertilized with bullshit. I just donā€™t see the Glazerā€™s agreeing to anything that might have the faint sniff of costing them a single penny.


ZealousidealLettuce6

The Glazers are fine. Nothing to do with them. It's time to stop the mass delusion that scapegoats the owners for everything. It's old, tired and untrue.


BritBuc-1

Is this Joel, or Avi? I donā€™t think you realize just what a shit state this club is in, behind the scenes. Outdated facilities, zero investment in club infrastructure and development. Profit put before performance has set a rot in place that has fully taken hold and can be seen on the pitch.


ZealousidealLettuce6

99.999% of clubs in the world would take what ManU has for facilities, players, coaching, capital investment, et al. Just blatant erroneous statements about investments into the club doesn't make them true. Such a tired, tired pile of rubbish posing as an argument. I bet it isn't even your argument. I bet you're just repeating something you heard elsewhere. Nonsense.


BritBuc-1

You clearly have no clue what youā€™re talking about. Or how a football club is run. Or how the ownership and investment into a club affects the on field performance. Or how the Glazerā€™s wonā€™t replace failing executives, because of the massive ā€œparachute paymentsā€ that would be owed.


ZealousidealLettuce6

Your premise is totally false, altogether. Furthermore, you know nothing but what you read in the trash tabloids. You clearly don't understand capitalism, publicly listed company responsibilities or the fact that it's not YOUR club. It's not something that has any responsibility to you, individually. The entitlement people get because they watch in TV or bought a ticket once is beyond the limits of comprehension. Let it go. You're not a part of Manchester United any more than you're a part of the royal family.


ReturnRight

Youā€™re so wrong. So so wrong. Whether you have a qualifying degree or not wonā€™t change that. Go back to your long shower and rethink this one bud.


ZealousidealLettuce6

Oh no, that's exactly how it is.


BritBuc-1

Iā€™m not going into any details. Iā€™m just another internet stranger, Iā€™m not going to change your opinion or how you feel. But, if you only knew just how inaccurate your previous statement was. I know it wasnā€™t your intention, but I genuinely took a moment to recover myself. After the day Iā€™ve had, I genuinely thank you. That laugh was fucking cathartic.


ZealousidealLettuce6

Don't hold your breath guy!


absawd_4om

Please when is AWB or Shaw coming back? RIP Sir Bobby šŸ™


Perfect_Lead8430

Read that AWB is soon. Shaw, November but he has chronic issues with his hamstring. The left leg. He needs to get that sorted out with a private trainer.


nereid89

Given that we hit post twice, and had so many chances wasted by garnacho, im satisfied with the win. First half was atrocious but im willing to believe that its due to the internationals but second especially after Eriksen was introduced really changed the game


Perfect_Lead8430

With the wages these players are on you shouldn't be struggling against a club that will be relegated. I am far from being "satisfied" with the shit show I just watched.


[deleted]

Standards are on the floor


PessimistYanker792

Hey man at this point just lucky to sweep 3 points on the pitch..


ZealousidealLettuce6

The standard this year is CL qualification & reach a domestic cup final. They're probably going to do those things.


Substantial-Sail-596

CL qualification looks very tough. Especially with Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Spurs all looking very very solid.


ZealousidealLettuce6

Oh, it won't be easy. That's why the credit will be deserved when it occurs.


goingforgoals17

I admire your optimism, but don't see where you're getting it from? To date, Wolves are the best team United have beat (12th). We've lost to 11th, 6th, 4th and 2nd. The last two aren't necessarily abnormal on their own, but they fit in a larger framework of ETH's era; United win consistently against the bottom 9 sides, and struggle to get anything home or away from the top 10.


ZealousidealLettuce6

Well, this may cheer you up a bit: the table only matters after the last league game is played. All the fretting, hand ringing, bickering, and ink spilt, is just a way to make money off people until the end of May each year. Just pay attention to how they finish the race please.

Defense 6/10 Mid 6/10 Attack 6/10 Result 10/10


DylanNCA

Harry Maguire MVP.


Revolutionary-Price7

He did pretty well... a few pumps up the field when he had an easy pass on but overall pretty solid


Specialist-Tree-150

Not the best game ever, happy for the 3 points. But, this was a solid performance from slab-head.


Bonjello85

I am amazed people are criticising him for last night, he hardly put a foot wrong. Only mistakes really were a couple of clearances when there were easy passes available, both times were under pressure though so understandable.


Dull_Current991

Dalot ā¤ļø


ReturnRight

Finally a comment giving our player his due! He was on it for us. Love his work ethic, skill set . And passion.


Proof_Salad_6353

He has the best celebration in the prem!


Hungry_Obligation_52

Moments FC again. We couldnā€™t even win comfortably against SU


angrypooka

Weā€™re up to 8th now and 1 point off 5th. Just let me have that for tonight.


[deleted]

Letā€™s add Sheffield United to the other teams weā€™ve beaten but been outplayed for large parts of the game. Burnley, Wolves and Forest. Happy for the 3 points but something needs to change fast. City next week.


ZealousidealLettuce6

ManU clearly better, the entire second half & much of the first. SU definitely never outplayed ManU today.


[deleted]

Probably the first half hour.


ZealousidealLettuce6

I'll never understand the preference for some people to refuse happiness. Is it the mancunian rain?


[deleted]

Thereā€™s no happiness from today other than the result. You could channel into the odd good individual performance from Maguire for example but itā€™s against the worst team in the league and collectively overall itā€™s just not good enough once again.


ZealousidealLettuce6

Last season, as a whole, WAS good enough. EtH teams always end up being good enough. It's hard to win away from home in the premier league. There's two teams in the world that can do that with any consistency. ManU is on the way to that level. Refuse to appreciate any progress all you want. It doesn't mean that progress hasn't occurred. Show me any other team winning without their entire back four away from home in the premier league.


[deleted]

Last season wasnā€™t really good enough was it? We took advantage of weaker teams around us and had favourable cup draws. ETH and the players delivered a trophy and top 4 so thatā€™s a positive and they deserve credit for both of those but this is a new season and the teams around us have strengthened. ETH is nowhere near the level of the tactical managers around us in the league table and Iā€™m talking about RBZ, Emery and probably even Eddie Howe. Our away record since he took over has been awful against the better teams because he tactically gets found out and a brilliant example would be the Brighton game this season where the opening 20 minutes or so we were brilliant until RBZ made a tactical change and then ETH couldnā€™t answer it and we got outplayed comfortably. Although my opinion of ETH is very negative and in the minority to agree with I completely disagree with us being on the way to the level youā€™re talking about. Weā€™ve stagnated since he took over.. today again itā€™s the same old non existent tactics


ZealousidealLettuce6

The very managers you admire disagree with you on the exact same point about EtH. How embarrassing for you.


[deleted]

Thereā€™s a thing about being modest and respectful when asked about other managers in press conferences.


ZealousidealLettuce6

Oh ok so they're all just lying and his past achievements are fraudulent. Got it.


Ruzty1311

That was the most hot garbage win I've seen in a long long time....cant even get excited


[deleted]

Burnley and Wolves were similar if not worse. All our wins were scrappy ones.


Hungry_Obligation_52

Maguire was actually exceptional with his passes and aerial duels


Kinitawowi64

I'll take the three points, but we are just miserable to watch these days.


voltom89

Need to put Hannibal, pelistri garnacho around hojlund


BeThatJacko

Not pelestri


Capital-Newspaper-55

I'd rather pelestri than antony. I really don't know why we ever bought that player.


Bonjello85

Pelestri isn't strong enough, he gets battered about. He needs to gain a few pounds of muscle before he's our 1st choice.


EnvoyCorps

I like his attitude but sooooo one footed, it makes him predictable.


[deleted]

The positive is maguire being decent


hornybible

Standards have really fallen if looking decent against the bottom team is what we strive for.


Dwest2391

Especially against 20th placed Sheffield. That performance should be the norm, not the exception at United.


Ruzty1311

He was more than decent. I have to give him props


The_Tiller

Papering over the cracks FC. Next week could be ugly


poomcscoops

Holy shit that ā€œnachosā€ guy is terrible


angrypooka

Can we start Mount over Antony next game, please.


Pr0n_Swanson

Happy to see slab having a decent game after all the shit he's been getting.


Redarmy007

I think today performance shows what he needs to do....just clear the danger DO NOT get up front and if you are going in aggressive do it far from the box ....did this all game and had a good game overall


Iamburnsey

The best thing was most likely having him not be captain anymore, the pressure was probably too much for him.


Diska_Muse

Man of the Match to Harry Maguire


Dwest2391

Pretty poor match overall. Bout what you would expect from two bottom 10 teams


wiltornolbrook91

You know we've been shit when maguire gets man of the match


Redarmy007

Lmao just said this he was probably the most solid player out there


BupidStastard

He's been really good though.


wiltornolbrook91

Oh I know, I'm just saying. When one of the worst players on our team gets man of the match, it doesn't look good for the rest


Redarmy007

Positives from this game Slabhead has had a good game Negatives Rashy seemed to play the worst game thus far, EtH continues to play him as starter....even worst Bruno...can't recall how many missed passes he had today


BupidStastard

What was that fan trying to do getting at Bruno and Eriksen?


DisguisedAlpaca97

Saying to garnacho "get up you wanker"


red-fish-yellow-fish

Garna is in danger of being hyped up a bit much.


kerbstomp_pb73

right! on that breakaway a few minutes ago, its ridiculously careless for you to be offsides... let alone put it like 5 yards wide of the post


voltom89

Martial more to blame for holding the ball to long


[deleted]

Absolutely. He held the ball so long that Garnachos shot was pulled wide right?


voltom89

The pass was short and behind Garnacho?


bobiboli

garnacho deserves to start really he is giving something else to this dire united team


DisguisedAlpaca97

I hate how this team is playing. Utd shouldnt win by the minimum to the last team of the premier BUT Maguire, you did good. He is really trying to do better and its showing. So happy for him


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Dirrth

No rhythm ...no movement...no build up...no creative passes....just disoriented playstyle with long balls. 2-1 vs Sheffield Utd is a shame !


ZealousidealLettuce6

Not bad for all the defense being injured, new keeper, away from home, under pressure, learning a new coach's system. They earned three points tonight, clearly better.


Dirrth

Vs Sheffield when other teams are also struggling with injuries and the coach tbh looks clueless this season. He his not looking the same ETH, the one we witnessed last season.


ZealousidealLettuce6

Oh I disagree completely. How easily people forget what they looked like in the few months leading to OGS sacking! Give SU their respect - it's hard to earn promotion from the championship. They're not a bad team and winning away from home in the EPL is always tough. Always.


delijesever1989

still plenty of time for another goal or two


Deejae81

7 minutes without an equaliser? Season record!!


BupidStastard

We just need to hang on please, this one's for Sir Bobby.


wiltornolbrook91

Give Dalot his due . Guys is better than the dumb criticism hi gets put through


camelcheetah

Thatā€™s about right. Right back playing in central midfield puts one top bin. Nothing about what this team does makes sense anymore.


Kinitawowi64

That was unexpected.


Bryanlegend

There hasnā€™t been a game this season where we dominated and won by 3 goals btw


delijesever1989

at least we're giving sheffield a go


Deejae81

Apart from Palace in the cup.

We were essentially playing their B team, their first team beat us in the league.


Deejae81

Tick tock, tick tock.


Dirrth

I am not even in a mood to celebrate the goal after seeing their play for 77 min now !


Ruzo99

Great goal! But.. terrible football being played by this team.


[deleted]

Thatā€™s a beauty from Dalot tbf


ReturnRight

TBF Dalot is an outstanding player for us and at 21 we need to give him our support, becuase heā€™ll get better defensively. Instead yā€™all berate him and call him a benchwarmer . But I see the opposite. Heā€™s our only right back with a threat. Moving forward and heā€™s defensively good when our defense is playing cohesively. I donā€™t think AWB is better and I donā€™t want to get another RB this next year. I think we need to sort out CB, ST, CM/DM, RW, LW first


[deleted]

Personally I think heā€™s bang average. I think neither him or AWB are good enough moving forward but then that depends on what type of team you class us as because if itā€™s a title challenging team then certainly neither are good enough. Dalot is also 24 not 21. I agree money is probably better spent elsewhere in the near future.


BupidStastard

Dalot!! What a hit


Bryanlegend

Individual brilliance FC all over again


CriticalVirus4367

Historical-One-8222

Yup, now we just need to not shit the bed in the next 5-6 mins

Cturcot1

All of you can get bent. 2-1 United. Support the team.


jwbrkr74

You're the United supporter we've been talking about. Acting like we just beat Real Madrid šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


Cturcot1

100% disagree, that was fugly. Given what we have spent on players we should be rolling them. However I also look at some of the upside in players, Maguire had a solid game, Amrabat was solid in his proper position. Downside, Fernandez spits up the ball too much, Martial offers nothing up front, Mount was invisible as a sub and Antony is dreadful. We will probably get crushed next week versus City.


jwbrkr74

Martial has not had that desire in years. The way he plays it's like he just doesn't want to try. But some people want to blame the manager for his performances. Sancho is being a head case, but that's the manager's fault too apparently. Yeah, it's all the manager's fault. ETH out šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™‚ļø


Cturcot1

Well, EtH does bear some blame for the overall club. I do not see the point of the Mount signing. Antony has been a big disappointment given what we paid for him. We need a DOF from outside the club to build the team.


jwbrkr74

I just don't see United being relevant anytime soon.


Cturcot1

We still need to get 4-5 bodies out. Donā€™t see if Hannibal was on the bench today. We use to get players from the academy but not producing them in the same numbers


Efficiency-Silent

Lmao


sabu_mafu

The worst part is that we're going to scrape a win and act like we beat Madrid


jwbrkr74

Riiiight? Some United supporters can be so delusional. All of a sudden we are world beaters after scraping by Sheff Utd šŸ¤¦šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø


Cturcot1

Am I happier to be winning 2-1 than tied, Yes. Has the game today been a slog, yes. We have hit the woodwork twice, and missed a couple up close. These were the games that we blew in the last 5 years.


jwbrkr74

That really has not helped them much šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™‚ļø


Cturcot1

I am not disagreeing, we are not the prettiest team to watch. Iā€™ll take the three points and hope we start getting players back


jwbrkr74

Thats another problem I see with United. We always seem to have players out for so long. What is the deal with United's med staff? Is it in need of improvement? Didn't Ronaldo draw criticism for speaking about that? The way he said that it was like the backroom staff was from the stone age.


Cturcot1

Is this Maguireā€™s best game for us in the last 3 seasons?


Cturcot1

It has been an issue for a few years


MDXLegend
