If anyone puts this on ten Hag, I'm sorry but they're brain dead. We're 2-1 up and then the players just go and fuck it up like that. I'd expect this from Everton or some shit. Inexcusable.

[–] IbnLemmy 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Mate, no one is saying get rid of ETH, but there is an element on him. That gap in the defence.. Icardi has had so much space for since the first half.

[–] detinu@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I 100% doubt he's telling Casemiro Mount and Eriksen to not track back. Our players are just lazy, they don't track back. The only one who did it was Mejbri and we took him off.

[–] Globulart@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

If you believe that the surely some blame lies with EtH.

Don't get me wrong, I 100% support the guy and would be apoplectic if we got rid as quickly as this.

But if our players are lazy (especially the ones he signed himself) then he has to take some blame for that. Part of his job is motivating players and not everyone seems to be motivated, certainly not for 90minutes.

And taking off the only midfielder who was tracking back can only be on him obviously.

[–] detinu@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

100% it's always a gray area. Some of it is on EtH, and some of it on the players of course. But the fact that the players just don't work enough is on them. You shouldn't need a manager to constantly have to motivate you to run and track back. Playing for this club used to be enough to make you work your socks off, not anymore...

At least we have a striker that does what he should, is strong, fast and can finish. That's my take from this game. Almost a hattrick damnit.

[–] detinu@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Give it time, the club will kill his talent too.

[–] ibasaw@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Hojlund is amazing. Give him good service and let him cook

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

major Bruh moment, I think if we add up all the time when we lead, we haven't been holding on to a lead for a full 90 minutes across all the games we played.

[–] monyetlapar@monyet.cc 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Can't attack, can't defend. We are not a football team. 2 moments of brilliance aside, I'm not sure what kind of football we are trying to play atm.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

we played well, other than the atrocious defending, Rashford apparent lack of confidence, bruno whining too much at his teammates and Casemiro being awful

[–] detinu@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I'm just at a loss of words. We were 70 mins in, crowd is buzzing, they created no chances and then we go and throw the game like this...

I'm scared this will end with ten Hag sacked, even though that is the last thing we need. Glazers need to go first, clearout of old and lazy players, and build up a fucking team with hungry players.

[–] monyetlapar@monyet.cc 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Back on here with Boost for Lemmy! Feels like /r/reddevils all over again. Lets do this!! Come on you Reds!

[–] detinu@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Let's just use this for the match thread lol. We gonna build it up

[–] daithi@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Might as well, don't need 2 threads for 10 comments

[–] NeverSleepWalking@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Fuck the glazers. Bunch of cunts. Undesirable result, but what can this bunch of players achieve without having the ability to keep the ball for more than a couple passes?

[–] detinu@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Holy fuck the kid's fast

[–] wesley@yall.theatl.social 3 points 11 months ago

Fucking hell guys...

[–] wesley@yall.theatl.social 3 points 11 months ago

We're getting in the box and creating chances but we absolutely need to start finishing these

Too bad on the offside goal

[–] IbnLemmy 3 points 11 months ago

Icardi has so much space. The manager must be seeing it.

[–] IbnLemmy 3 points 11 months ago

Good play from Hojlund. Proper strength. Been ajes since we had that in a United forward

[–] detinu@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

We're back in business boys /s. Such poor defending man...

[–] daithi@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

At least we held the lead for a whole 6 mins this time

[–] daithi@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Rashford

Right decision ☑

Good cross ☑

Assist in the bag ☑

[–] detinu@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Fuckkk what a sick goal, too bad it's offside

[–] wesley@yall.theatl.social 2 points 11 months ago

Rasmus gonna win this for us

[–] wesley@yall.theatl.social 2 points 11 months ago

Need a convincing win. Let's go!!!

[–] detinu@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Hate that there's no accountability. Perform poorly, you just get to start again. But I just hope we win...

[–] daithi@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago
[–] detinu@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Nice to see Rashford getting nutmegged and then just jog back like it's no biggie...

[–] detinu@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Mentality of a toddler this team...

[–] detinu@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I'm at a loss for words...

[–] Ryan213@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

we're so bad

[–] IbnLemmy 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is terrible...

We got rid of De Gea for this...

[–] monyetlapar@monyet.cc 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No De Gea, no Harry Maguire to be scapegoated for this. Our problems are so much more deep rooted than individuals. Just a shitshow all round.

[–] IbnLemmy 3 points 11 months ago

That's for sure.... Our biggest problem is the Glazers.

[–] IbnLemmy 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The turks haven't won a game in Europe for 5 years...

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

they haven't won in England in 117 years, lol

[–] IbnLemmy 1 points 11 months ago

Why you trying to ruin my day man?

[–] Heir_Of_Isildur@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Goddamn... this team

[–] detinu@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

They're playing perfectly to our strength, which is pass to Rashford and inshallah, and we still can't create much...

[–] wesley@yall.theatl.social 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Wonderful assist by Rashford! I thought it was hit too fast at first but turned out to be the perfect height and pace for Hojlund's run

[–] ibasaw@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago
  • Disastrous goalkeeping
  • The defence and goalkeeper are not working together.

Ten Hag's system is very susceptible to counter attacks.. every opposition team knows this.. the counter attacks are going to come after 70 min especially

The goalkeepers and defenders have to be much better than this for the system to work

[–] detinu@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

OleBall is back and it's here to stay. I'm kind of tired of counter attacking football...

[–] monyetlapar@monyet.cc 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

This quick transition football is not going to work when all our players take 2, 3 touches to trap a ball. Also the inability to win 50:50 challenges.

[–] IbnLemmy 1 points 11 months ago

How are they swarming this defence...
