Should have started Cavani, Rashford was poor today and Martial, United could have won that game today

Has Big Sam taken over?

 

Highlight of the game was Luke Shaws foul throw on 76 minutes and Fernandes crying when he got subbed. 

You must agree Shaw was outstanding though?

 

AWB too.

It was dire. United played the same as they did against us. Think they are scared of the big teams, so just try to snatch and grab a win nowadays

So scared we had about 4 chances to win the game in the 2nd half.

 

Big games like that with so much at stake can always be tight. A lot at stake. Considering we are 3 points ahead, going hell for leather would have been crazy.

Shut up

Reminded me of the WBA game. We really are struggling to break down defensive teams at the moment. Missing Jota big time!

We are back to the same issue... labelling counter attacking teams defensive as some kind of slight. We play different ways against different teams. 

 

Not at all concerned by any labels as long as we stay in our current position. 

 

United are 7/1 for the title. Obviously we are still an outside shout, but that looks like value to me.

Those 4 chances are all you had.

 

Have you forgotten what club you are? You aren't WBA, you are the self confessed biggest club in the world who now sit back and defend. I'm not saying you should have gone hell for leather but do you really think it's acceptable for the mighty United to allow the opposition to have 65.7% of possession?

We went to play the Champions who are 67 games unbeaten at home and came away with a point and had plenty of chances to win the game. That will do me.

 

Calling us scared is just primary school level understanding of football.

Yeah right.

 

If you are happy with the tactics that Olly Allardyce plays, that's up to you.

Again - anything which isn't all guns blazing now equals Sam Allardyce. That's really basic.

 

They are 3 points behind us, playing at home, and with their famous front 3 all fit. But yet the onus is on us to throw caution to the wind?

 

Pay a visit to Planet Earth every now and then. Or more appropriately for you 'take your head out of the sand'.

3.35 mins @Kadilo  Ricky isn't me by the way ????

"Luke Shaw looks like Johan Cruyff playing at left back."

 

I don't care about the accuracy of this comment, but it's still the comment of the year so far.

You played the same against us at your gaff and I think we were 9th at the time. You really haven't done well against any of the so called top 6 clubs

 

Spurs hammered you at yours

Chelsea drew at yours

Arsenal beat you at yours

Leicester drew at theirs

City drew at yours

Liverpool draw at theirs

 

I think I'll just rest my case at that.

Whereas last season I recall us doing well against the big teams and falling short against sides we should be trouncing.

 

You are arguing that we should have played a different style vs Liverpool away. But as I said, we took a point and could have easily won the game. So I don't know where you are coming from.

I'm not arguing about anything. I wasn't only talking about Liverpool, it's a pattern forming with this style against other teams. However, if you are happy seeing the mighty United playing like that, then bat on

So if we had played in another way we would be even further ahead in the table? Is that what you are suggesting?

Who knows. Maybe or maybe not. But you would have had your heads held up high for playing the way football should be played, for a club of your stature.

My head is held high. I don't go along with your premise that this is Sam Allardyce football.

 

You can have your tiki-taka. I enjoy watching City play. But United have scored some of the best goals this season too.

 

I am happy that we play pacy, direct football in keeping with our traditions. It would make me uncomfortable playing a style transplanted from a foreign club, which is coached in Spanish, managed in Catalan and funded with checks written in Arabic.

Sorry let's go back to your narrative... that we should be beating ourselves up over our style of play while we are three points clear at the top of the table. 

 

Let's be honest, whoever lifts that trophy isn't going to be kicking themselves saying "I wish we had been more attacking in X game".

 

Stop trying to troll the untrollable and just enjoy what is turning out to be a exciting title race. 

[Jack Hna]

Absolutely delighted, with LFC form and injuries and boreunited in full on form they sat back and preyed for a slice of luck that never came. 

 

United are in a false state of we are back. Fully expect united to get battered 3-4 times before this season ends. 6es and 7s battered.

Think the 'batterings' for the likes of man utd and spurs whose strengths,arguably,  are pace on the break,  happen when they're drawn up the park and their defending is hap hazard.. NOT gonna happen with utds defence that I've been watchin recently . Early season... Yeah .. but now... No.
