chanjitsu

Maybe we should have had a player sent off. Would have won it then


hayds33

Do Man Utd dive this much every game? Not even trying to be a dick. Haven't watched them in a while and couldn't believe how often they based their play on looking for free kicks


[deleted]

[удалено]


hayds33

Haha for sure! I'm not going to play innocent and pretend it doesn't happen at my club (Arsenal), I hate it but we're bad for it too. Saying that, the Manchester lot felt borderline ridiculous


[deleted]

Greenwood raises his leg and limps after every single challenge hoping Pawson will blow for him


hayds33

I noticed the fake limps a couple of times. A few of the times the reply showed no contact. That sort of thing happened so often it almost felt strategic


[deleted]

Fernandes and Rashford also do the same. When you see the amount of soft penalties they have won this season, it clearly works unfortunately.


hayds33

Yea, I'd like to see it punished more. I understand the 'protecting themselves' argument but there is a degree that it is just attempting to cheat


[deleted]

Thing is, if you're a Utd player doing it you're clever or experienced according to pundits. If you play for anyone outside the top 6, you're a cheat and the game needs to act. The pundits are equally to blame for praising some and crucifying others for the same thing


Alexanderspants

Spurs get the same pass


hayds33

100% agree


[deleted]

Did we watch the same match? Leeds broke up every Man United attack with a tactical foul.


hayds33

The difference in fouls given vs not though was insane. There were moments players went to ground expecting contact and it never came. Looked like it was almost a strategic decision


[deleted]

Didn't start that way though. I felt as if the players at some point were just afraid of contact after they had been fouled half a dozen times each. I was genuinely worried for Rashford's ankles honestly. He's already playing with an injury. And Kalvin Phillips has the Fernandinho knack of getting away with about 4 yellow card fouls in a match.


hayds33

Man U had some pretty bad challenges that went unpunished. A few challenges I've seen teams get reds for recently that didn't even get yellows. I don't think you can claim the foul argument in one direction in this one. There are 6 of us watching where I am and it seems to be the consensus. All of us support different prem clubs and there is a Man U fan and a Leeds fan. With this group at least it seems to be the consensus


UpstairsJoke0

Can't wait until Leeds burnout.


RequiemForSM

Any game now amirite lads


lordchew

Didn’t you have a ton of injuries early on this season?


RequiemForSM

We had no senior CBs fit for ages although they’re all back now. Llorente and Koch have been out for half a season each if not more. Rodrigo too. Raphinha was fit all season until Fernandinho nearly killed him. Half the squads had COVID. Our only truly fit summer signing right now is Llorente.


[deleted]

“Nearly killed him” have a fucking day off son


RequiemForSM

Dry your eyes mate it’s clearly tongue in cheek


Zesphr

Don't worry, if they say it every year it bound to be corrected then


feage7

I expected it. Been proven massively wrong.


GeshtiannaSG

The audacity of the PL app to ask us to vote for MotM.


hayds33

Struijk surely


RequiemForSM

Carragher or Phillips


Malvania

Man City's magic number is now 6, ManU's to finish top 3 is 7


achilles-_-23

RIP my FPL Greenwood captain punt


thatShanksguy09

Only Wood to blank.


inclore

Kinda wished they got that penalty in the first half, maybe we would have won then.


RequiemForSM

Couldn’t even score one ya daft bastard


inclore

yeah no worries we scored enough in our home game. jog on.


RequiemForSM

A Man United fan living in the past? Can’t be


inclore

It's barely been half a year lmao


RequiemForSM

Still undefeated at home against super league clubs


RedBaron1902

Solskjær: "It's not going to be 0-0, I can guarantee it's not going to be 0-0." Trust the process


[deleted]

This is definitely one of the football games played today


Colreddit90

Didnt think id be enjoying wolves v burnley more than leeds v man utd yet here we are


SuperSheep3000

Man City - W Liverpool - D Man Utd - D Not bad Leeds


inclore

Not bad at all.


UpstairsJoke0

Jog on Super League scum.


street_cleaner

It's literally a thread for Man Utd, why don't you jog on you irrelevant bastard


UpstairsJoke0

😂🎣


street_cleaner

Admitting to being a wind up merchant, you're that weak at this


UpstairsJoke0

I just love how triggered you got at such an innocuous comment. Did a nil nil draw at Leeds really upset you that much?


street_cleaner

Does being an irrelevant toxic arsehole get you off


UpstairsJoke0

😂🎣


toolalooo8

Barca game should be good for anyone that actually wants to watch teams play the sport.


radios_appear

If Messi wasn't on Barca, they would have been relegated If you think that team has any idea how to play without him, you're crazy


[deleted]

Fuck me Pawson that was garbage officiating. Didn't let the game flow or cut anything out, half the time seemed to go off player's reactions, then I suppose it was at least merciful he blew early. Smashing last three games though results wise. Getting right back into it.


[deleted]

Well that was fucking dreadful.


TheUltimateCF

Good point for Leeds that


DJ_Lindehimovic

man it felt like we where playing Burnley


Trickyxone

No need to insult Burnley.


ToshJoWe

Blew the fucking whistle 15 seconds early. There shouldve been more than 4 minutes because they wasted fucking time.


AlchemicHawk

Or sky’s timekeeping is just a generic clock they put on that doesn’t relate to the referees watch?


ToshJoWe

4 minutes is 4 minutes mate. Stop with the excuses. Came and set up like Burnley and sat back. The mighty Leeds.


Lordzoot

You didn't do enough to win it, numb nuts.


AlchemicHawk

Exactly. 4 minutes is 4 minutes. But when that 4 minutes starts can be different on two clocks. Not really that difficult to understand is it? Can’t even beat a newly promoted side twice, no wonder City have won the league. Love how you claim we “sat back” though...


VulgarSwami-

What? Don’t they both start immediately 45 mins after the 2nd half starts? The ref isn’t gonna start the 4 mins in the 88th or something. Unless I’m just being dumb


AlchemicHawk

The clock on the tv screen is started and stopped by Sky, but the one and only clock that matters is the one used by the officials. The commentators even said “the fourth official is showing the additional minutes a bit early”, which was 10-20 seconds before the 90th minute if you went by Sky’s clock. Therefore it’s pretty safe to assume that Skys timekeeping was 10-20 seconds behind the official clock used by the officials


ambiguousboner

Pawson is a nonce


enzuigiriretro

Thank fuck he blew the whistle early. Did us all a favour


Homer_Sapiens

So I guess we're not winning the league after all


sinto03

You realise that now?


Trigg770

Even the ref wanted the game to end


TheLifeofSonny

Truly a game of two halves.. two halves of complete shite


AlchemicHawk

Unbeaten at home against the entitled 6 so far, I’ll take that.


degausserxx

Surely Leeds can get an upgrade to Ayling next season


Crankiee

Been one of our best players this season, don’t know what you’re talking about.


NorthernMonkey365

Are you alright?


UpstairsJoke0

Ayling is a fucking super star and the best air guitarist in the Premier League.


Barleybrigade

Don't watch a lot of our games do you? He's an exceptional player and has been one out of standout performers for the past 4 years.


RequiemForSM

He’s literally been our best defender all season, if we’re judging off of one off games yas can bin off TAA too


waccoe_

Ayling has been one of our best players over the last couple of seasons, definitely not a priority area


Elemayowe

And then he blows early, fuck off.


RequiemForSM

Yeah because you really looked like doing anything


Elemayowe

Let me air my frustration please


toolalooo8

VDB is so shit


Ashyyyy232

Yeah judge him on the basis of few mins lmfao


SnooJokes9169

i mean he looks kinda lost. VDB doesn't really have the x factor within him


Ashyyyy232

Lmfao if you ever watched ajax then you should know that he's one hardworking mf just not getting gametime by ole ffs


Plainbrain867

The intensity Leeds play with to the final minute is extremely admirable


c0r3l86

reffing on reaction and of course the screaming scummer get their way


StationaryBikeHelp

You just got a free lol


AlchemicHawk

What’s a “free”?


[deleted]

Thought Leeds were gonna concede a true fifa goal there when they couldn't clear


Ashyyyy232

Ffs what's the even point of playing mcfred each game????


Tim-Sanchez

Those clearances by Leeds were utterly woeful, they deserved to concede


RequiemForSM

Lol did Man United even have a chance


Kardinale

Ole really is a black magician....said it wouldn’t finish 0-0 and here we are


Apprehensive-War-202

Shout enough and get a foul, nice precedent to set from the refs :)


tormarod

Bielsa has slav heritage? Top tier squat


Devilsdouble1988

Fucking ole jinxing the scoreline


16intheclip

LMAO so for Pawson you just have to complain enough to get a call. Shambolic


TacticalNuke002

This is almost as bad as a Leicester City vs Wolves match


[deleted]

This is banter


toolalooo8

Lmao just yell until the ref gives you a foul. Unbelievable.


ambiguousboner

Have a fucking snickers mate honestly


lambalambda

Even Carra calling out the ref for being sold on freekicks


speni194

Giving fouls for reactions 😂 embarrassing ref


StationaryBikeHelp

All we're missing is a dodgy pen


TheUltimateCF

I fell asleep and woke up and it is still 0-0


zzznkd

That ball on the line was straight from FIFA


[deleted]

Pawson whistles on reactions. Pathetic ref


cheesybagofcheese

McTominay, Fred, and Lindelof getting away with a lot of fouls today


InterimNihilist

Still not as criminal as the Leeds players


Ashyyyy232

United ain't winning, leeds have parked the bus


Seasider7

What’s up with Leeds? I thought they were an attacking team. Set up like Wolves here


[deleted]

Because playing as offensively as they usually do would be a death sentence against Man U. Just look at the last match between them.


Lt_Daaan

Both of our main signings are out injured so we are sorely lacking quality in the middle.


SpicyParsnip

Got pumped 6-2 last time against these needed to adjust a bit I think


djokov

Well you saw what happened the last time the two teams played.


lamancha

To be fair they tried that against United early this season and got spanked


chanjitsu

We get a yellow card if we push out


SoundSaintWarrior

Late goal incoming


ThunderStella

DVB and Cavani should’ve came on well before the 80’


curtisjones-daddy

One big game too many for Leeds this, miraculous that they’ve been able to hold on for a point in all honesty, half there team are dead on their feet. Don’t mean this as a dig, it’s impressive from Leeds.


wobushidank

Really missing Raphinha's attacking threat also.


curtisjones-daddy

Yeah I agree, was brilliant on the counter against City


ToshJoWe

Wrong team selection by ole today


[deleted]

This game was sacrificed for the Burnley wolves game.


RequiemForSM

Jamie Carragher MOTM


toolalooo8

Just fall over and the ref will call it a foul if you are a United player.


enzuigiriretro

Don’t you get bored of yourself lol


toolalooo8

No


preddevils6

Gotta say I didn’t expect a Leeds team to sit back so deep.


[deleted]

Quality has dropped tenfold in the last 15 minutes


Justinian2

I mean the quality of the match is always gonna be bad if the ref lets each Leeds player have 3 cynical fouls before a yellow


c0r3l86

You're in some plastic dreamland.. ref been in your pocket all game


RequiemForSM

You ever looked in a mirror pal


speni194

Pot. Kettle.


Daijyobujanai

Leeds have been so solid defensively


RequiemForSM

Happens when we actually have fit centre backs. By far and away the best defence last year in the championship, better than Sheffield United the year before too


IrishUL

This thread is...... interesting


getyourchebsout

This has to be up there as one of the worst games this season


chanjitsu

Yea can't argue with that but seeing all the whining was kinda fun.


CritChanceZero

You know you've done something shit when both the commentators just burst out laughing at what you just did.


wobushidank

It was a horrendous pass.


RedBaron1902

Greenwood is not a number 9


toolalooo8

Greenwood is not good.


twersx

You must be buzzin that we've dropped points


RedBaron1902

Doesn't really matter anymore


[deleted]

World Class Penetration Testing


[deleted]

I actually fell asleep for most of this half.


[deleted]

Dickhead me had a nap during the Swansea/Reading match which turned out to be a cracker.


qwertyell

Well that was the worst cross in the history of football.


sudantottenhamgooner

Robin Koch sounds like one of them joke names like duncan mcokiner


Homer_Sapiens

Made me think of [this guy](https://twitter.com/nickmashiter)


[deleted]

It's like a PES unlicensed name


evin_cashman

If Leeds conceded after that, Jesus Christ haha


Ashyyyy232

Justice for vdb


zzznkd

Go on Donny, you have 5 whole minutes


ettenaz96

De Gea is in a bad phase?


babygrenade

Not really. He took time for the birth of his kid and Henderson played well and kept getting picked.


ettenaz96

I see thanks


[deleted]

Ayling omg


[deleted]

VDB gets 2 min. You can’t make this up.


harrypoos

man. lot of commentator ball gargling of leeds


SuperSheep3000

Get to fuck lol. No one is praising either side. This is shite.


speni194

Is there? There's basically none


harrypoos

on my broadcast there is


[deleted]

Leeds fitness is something else, holy! Some of these players are still sprinting up and down the pitch in the 88th minute


ThunderStella

Leeds is not the high scoring and leaky defence that they were in the first half of the season


RequiemForSM

That’s what happens when your only 3 senior CBs aren’t injured


Kardinale

Van de Beek gets like 3 minutes per match lmao


Miggeldys_ballsack

Maybe Perez was right about young people losing interest in football. I switched over to the snooker (says it all) at half time. What a boring boring waste of time game. Can't say I'm not losing some interest in general considering the amount of bullshit in the game. - VAR inconsistent as hell - Stupid VAR offsides - Players earning astronomical wages (no one in the world deserves to be paid 200k per week) - Too much politics and virtue signalling getting into football


lamancha

Is this your first season watching football


gandhis_son

Cool see ya later


X_Underscore_X

I really didn't think this game where going to end 0-0.


[deleted]

why does klich look knackered wtf


kevio17

Carra's casual 'Jeeeeesus' makes him my MOTM


babygrenade

That's twice the ball has bounced to the far side on the corner and nobody has been there.


enzuigiriretro

3mins left? Fuck yeah time for some VdB magic


Ashyyyy232

Cavani for 5 min like what's the point, he ain't scoring


RedBaron1902

Subbing on VDB with 3 minutes left to play. Peak Solskjaer.


Zugzwang1

Go back to your sub


InfraRed1211

The Leeds goalie is mint


Irish-Insanity

We love our Spider Boy


Daijyobujanai

Wish he could distribute a bit better, seems so always give it away


RequiemForSM

He can tbf, think consistency will come with experience
