Pre Match Man United (A) - Sunday 15:30

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

There are times i want Donkey to become a bit of a raving nutter like a Cole Palmer and just bloody shoot !

The times he passed when he could've taken a swing....what's up with him ? Where's that killer instinct gone ?!

 

[SummerOnions]

Two things that I am taking from this game..

1) Why when he been so poor that Nunez is the one who is subbed...? Nunez sets the goal up for Daiz and work Utd defenders more

2) We need to sell Salah and reinvest in a quaility striker. He has not really got it anymore, regularly for the amount of times that he is look for in play.

Also felt that Jones should have come on Earlier

Jones was arguably worse than Szobo

 

[Modo]

He had a better game than Mo today

Mo was shit, but the amount of dumb decisions Nunez took today was incredible. I'm not sure I've ever seen it before.

 

[mark1975]

He crosses the ball with his right foot like I throw the ball with my left arm.

He put decent ball, after decent ball in. What the fuck are you on about? You cream over so many inconsistent, inferior players. Same old.

 

[jan]

Would have

And Darwin... Played like a real league 2 striker today. In the pockets of a youth defender. I'd be tempted to get rid in the summer while people think he's somewhat good.

He was a bit shit and that slip was Andy Carroll-esque but I'd still feel more confident if he stayed on the pitch

Mo was our worst of attacker and Gakpo did nothing, again

Nunez didn't set up shit. It was a fluke just like everything else he does.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Good fight back to draw. Unlucky overall but could easily have lost.

Had to win 10 league games in a row but we can win 7. Just have to hope Arsenal don’t win 10 in a row.

I was just having a laugh because of your post, maybe not the right time...

 

[jan]

Casemiro shouldn't be allowed to play in this league btw. His head is way too fat for a professional athlete

 

[Buddha]

He’s an inexperienced kid so no hard feelings long term, but god knows how everyone is banging on about strikers when Quansah’s schoolboy error cost us control of the game.

 

[Fabio]

Nah, not having that. That was a perfect flick on header.

 

[Modo]

Nah, not having that. That was a perfect flick on header.

I'm too pissed off to make sense of anything Nunez does

 

[ibromurph]

I hear Nunez is choatic, exciting, etc etc.

He's still not won me over though. All I see is poor decision making, poor passing, poor touch, poor finishing, poor link up play, poor dribbling.

But yeah, he's exciting though.

 

[Tinto]

That’s not unlucky. That’s proper crap as we didn’t learn a single thing from the FA Cup tie.

 

[Fabio]

Because we should have been 4 up before the error happened. Yes, it was shite and a talking point, but I'd rather blame the 80m striker, the 50m winger, the 60m attacking mid and the 300k a week star winger

Errors can happen. That level of wastefulness as this level shouldn't

 

[rubans]

Exactly, he is so easy to get at and him turning on the ball back inside his endemic of his game. Buy a CB in the summer as we need back up for Konate anyway who seems a bit unreliable fitness wise.

 

[DHSC]

Win the next 7 games and we will win the league. Doubt Arsenal will do it.

 

[Hansern]

Tbh, I dont think any of the 3 teams win all of their reamining 7 fixtures.

 

[Squiggles]

Klopps has never had a handle on Man United, especially at Old Trafford. The attacking chaos he likes, and the high line, plays so much into their strengths, even in their banter years.

The ball from Quansah was just so poor and basic. Kids the world over are taught the world over not to play that ball. It's fundamentals. We were not clinical enough on the counter, not controlled or smart enough against the low block. Ultimately this side cannot just depend on last minute winners.

Extremely frustrating. Still plenty of games to go, but we'll have to win out to have a chance.

 

[Fabio]

Like, if we had 10 shots on total, I'd blame quansah more

We had 28 shots, 12 on target. And no one here would dare say it was an onana masterclass because he had to do fuck all for the efforts

 

[Dreambeliever]

2 points dropped on that first half performance

You mean the half where we restricted them to no shots and won vs the half where they had a hatful and won 2-1?

 

[mark1975]

He’s an inexperienced kid so no hard feelings long term, but god knows how everyone is banging on about strikers when Quansah’s schoolboy error cost us control of the game.

We should have been out of sight by then, everyone should be banging on about our experienced, international strikers, because they were fucking shite.

 

[Modo]

Here's another thing that pissed me off.
So, it's just minutes left in the game, why the fuck is Jones playing "try to get the ball off me" and wasting time?

 

[localny]

That Darwin chance in the second half when he should have cut it back to Szobo

Disappointing but as fans we have to also keep the head. The league isn’t over of course.

Two things
1. We are starting to bottle too many big games
2. Our strikers are just not natural finishers bar Diogo

 

[Modo]

Klopp logic, Konate fit enough to be on the bench. Not fit enough to start, despite playing 90 mins a few days ago.

 

[Fabio]

Tbh, I dont think any of the 3 teams win all of their reamining 7 fixtures.

If any of the 3 will, it's city

 

[Donavan Ried]

Jones was arguably worse than Szobo

Quite possible, but Szoso looked dead on his feet

 

[jan]

He’s an inexperienced kid so no hard feelings long term, but god knows how everyone is banging on about strikers when Quansah’s schoolboy error cost us control of the game.

I wonder what was the reasoning for him over Konate? Not fully fit?

Didn't think he had a bad game overall but there's always a bigger risk for errors when you play inexperienced players in a game like this

 

[Fabio]

Klopp logic, Konate good enough to be on the bench. Not good enough to start

Tbf that's 90% of managers logic

 

[rubans]

Like, if we had 10 shots on total, I'd blame quansah more

We had 28 shots, 12 on target. And no one here would dare say it was an onana masterclass because he had to do fuck all for the efforts

But not all of them were that clear chances. The XG end of first half was 1.6, we already have a goal so not huge difference. Sometimes, we have to close out games and we are incapable of it and Quansah has been begging to be bummed like that for the last 10 games. he hasn't learnt.
