What an utter embarrassment United have become. Dominated in the stands and on the pitch at Old Trafford by FCK.

[–] Brave-Salamander-339@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Congratulation for the trophy of domination in the stands and on the pitch

[–] bloodfromastone@alien.top 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Man Utd are still stuck in a cycle of despair, they are never far away from a shellacking. The fact is the team still looks directionless in possession, and the last few results scraping results against poor sides have been driven by players Ten Hag tried to ship off in the summer. I thought they would be good with him in charge but the squad composition is incoherent. Whenever they try to implement positional play they get battered because they can’t do it, so they revert to counterattacking football, rinse reposed, they’ll probably beat City on Sunday and then lose 3-0 to Fulham.

Some absolute beatings are on the horizon for United if they don't sharpen up massively

[–] bloodfromastone@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Unless this “turning point” is actually a turning point and not just business as usual

[–] Leading_Ship_1730@alien.top 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

We got 99 problems. Onana is not one of them

[–] Evergreenwood@alien.top 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

McTominay is a major problem

[–] money_mase19@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

how. so many clutch goals

[–] Adognamedbingo@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Heartbroken by this wonderful Copenhagen team again.

They’re playing so well against these top teams, but are losing out on a more deserved result third game in a row.

Hopefully There’s points to collect in Parken when facing United and Gala in the return legs.

Deserved? Are you having a laugh? We should have put this game to bed with multiple 1-on-1s after the Maguire goal. If we could finish it should have been 3-1 or 4-1

[–] Ok-Stomach4522@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I am known to be biased when commenting on my own team. It’s nice to meet someone who tops that.

[–] Footyfooty42069@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I mean, no. It’s not like Garnacho’s poor touch was a fluke- he’s way too young/raw to be relied upon as a consistent player for United. If it were some seasoned top player who missed it, then sure you could say the goal should have been scored. But this is what Man U has to work with right now. “If we could finish” = “We can’t finish, we aren’t a very reliable attacking side, we’re not that good tbh”

Like, you didn’t put the game to bed because the team is not good enough, period. That’s their level.

[–] 99999nine@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Heartbreaking for FCK, who has been the better side in all 3 games, but are left with 1 point.

[–] the_better_twin@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Not really. If United could finish they would have won that by 4 or 5 goals.

[–] Fisktor@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Some forwards that can shoot and that is an easy win the ref cant try to take from us.

[–] SubstantialSquash475@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Hojlund's surprised me, this boy isn't just meat. He's got some solid technique, great technique I should say, considering he's a 9 and how the current "best striker in the world" isn't expected to be able to control a ball.

[–] Downtown-Discount671@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That 1st half was a literal snoozefest, 2nd half I expected rashford to be subbed off for garnacho, starting to think the only reason rashford played well at all last season was because of shaw

Maguire has improved & fought for his position, hope he keeps it up & doesn't get complacent

Mctominay was OK but could do a lot better thought the pen was very harsh, I was surprised he wasn't subbed instead of Amrabat tho

Eriksen as usual a great player with great passing changed the game

I still can't believe rashford & garnacho didn't put their chances away!

Fernandes was nonexistent first half, then was much better 2nd half, I'm curious why we even bought mount at this point, we should have spent that 60mill on a cb ffs

[–] moonski@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

There's so many places in the squad £60m would have been better spent than on a player who basically plays the same position as Bruno

[–] TeamUlovetohate@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

united still dropping to the Europa league I think

[–] SubstantialSquash475@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Onana making a great stop and saving a penalty, the narrative's going to change into him being a world class keeper now.

God this "redemption" shtick makes me sick, I hate football fans.

[–] SilverDragonfly6794@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You're arguing against a point that you invented lol. No one has made that point.

He made some mistakes in earlier games and was under pressure. Today he was great and helped us get 3 points. That's all

[–] friedballbag@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’m just here for the Maguire/Onana revenge arc.

[–] MrDman9202@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He went down holding his head as well, reverse the roles and it would be the top post of the year on this sub reddit.

[–] Evergreenwood@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Oh if that was Antony for example it would break the internet
