What player spoke post match?

Maddison, I think.

[chrishlcfc]

Good 1st half didn’t take our chances and were punished.

 

2nd half we were awful.
 

Ref was your typical old Trafford United biased. Never expect any different. Absolute disgrace.

Brendan Rodgers Post Match

 

Good first half, what happened second?

"We never got going. First half we had good chances and a continuation of the last number of weeks. All three goals we conceded were preventable and normally our counter pressing has been really good but the first goal Fernandes has played it through really quickly and Marcus has timed his run and finished it really well. The two goals we then conceded, the second one lifts the crowd and Marcus is onside but we should close the space and the third one we force the pass when there is no need. For us we showed a good level in the first half and got undone with moments of quality from them and they were comfortable at the end."

 

Sabitzer on Faes?

"It is a sending off, a straight leg on to the knee, how it was not looked at and deemed that is incredible."

 

Think of any reason why it wouldn't be given?

"I don’t know. The last few weeks some of the decisions we have seen. Someone has said it was after an incident but I don’t buy that. Look at Arsenal’s pen v Man City, Nketiah has a shot but the follow through makes it a foul. He has straight legged him right on his knee."

 

Will this be dent to excitement and confidence?

"We showed enough in the first half. The second half was disappointing from our perspective but the first half was much more to our level. You just have to defend better against quality players. De Gea makes two fantastic saves, especially the first one and that maybe would have changed the feel of the stadium, I have seen enough over the last few weeks to say we are getting back on track."

 

Tete?

"He has settled in really well. He has come into tough games, two games away and a home game v Tottenham. He has settled in great. He is a really good footballer, settled in well and given us balance on the right side."

 

Why Mendy over Tielemans?

"All the team from last weekend were outstanding. That team deserved to start the game. There were always plans to change it, especially when we went to 2-0 I thought we had to get two players on who could progress the ball better."

Rodger’s highlights how important De Gea’s two saves are for Man U but doesn’t equate that to out how not having a keeper that can make saves like that could be detrimental to our team. Fact is, if Ward was in goal for them, they would’ve been 2-0 down - Barnes’ would hit the ball straight through him and he would’ve been routed to the spot for the Iheanacho header. 
 

As for the Mendy Tielemans question, Youri’s 20 minute spell should’ve been more than enough to answer the question. When Tielemans came on with Soumare we looked worse. Not surprisingly (for everyone except Rodgers,) we progressed the ball way slower when the two dawdlers came on. 

[Jakemoore]

Recorded the game. Turned my phone off. Rushed home to watch it excited. Got to 60 minutes and turned off. 
 

Unless there’s an angle that I haven’t seen, how the **** was their second goal onside?!? 🤬🤬🤬

 

We were bang in that game until that happened.

I wouldnt call Tielemans a dawdler as he does try despite his obvious physical limitations. I still don’t think he commits 100% full blooded due to his eye on the exit door but he does try.

 

Soumare on the other hand… 

[lcfcjosh]

oh well it lasted 2 games

[LCFCJohn]

Thought we started really well, got to take the chances that come though.

 

Thoughts are;

 

1 - The red that should have been for Sabitzer. Don’t get the ‘still makes it look worse’ people. The still shows exactly where he studs him. The live footage is worse anyway as it shows he has had come side on.

 

2 - How the **** are Faes and Mendy booked given the standard set with Sabitzer.

 

3 - 2nd goal, I do like to see borderline ones given but it does look like the lines have been drawn to ensure the goal which just raises the question, why bother with VAR. 
 

4 - Rodgers, think he set us up well but the collapse when we faced adverse circumstances is concerning. I’d expect to see some fight and siege mentality. 
 

5 - Bruno Fernandes, knob.

 

6 - Weghorst, also a knob.

 

7 - Just a crap second half, just hope it doesn’t start another ‘run’….

 

 

[Tanya]

Ward never, ever saves a goal he shouldnt. Never pulls off a worldie. We are so hampered by that lump in goal. 

 

Faes was poor too.

 

Onto the next

Yep plus concedes goals he shouldn’t as well. He just isn’t dependable 

[coolhandfox]

On a plus note, we have only got Man C to play out of the big 6 away now.

Reckon if the challenge was made by our player he would be off.

I can't help but fear today ends the 'run' as opposed to the way you're talking of a run.

 

1st half was excellent but the 2nd half revert back to what we've been accustomed to, you have to ask yourself which was the 'norm' and which was 'out of the ordinary'.

Of course we all fear that, but in truth Manure away and Arsenal at home aren’t really the measure. Southampton away certainly is. My hope is we can get 6 points from the 4 games left before the March international break. If we do that we will have 30 points with 11 games left and close to safety, and safety is my only ambition for this season. Well, that and another Wembley trip.

I also stopped watching at that point - when they showed the ‘line’ for about a nanosecond and moved on. Sums the world up. I hate that it can still occasionally have such a negative impact on me. It’s just a game for corrupt rich people with the “authorities” totally complicit.

It was offside. But as much as it annoys me, we’d still have lost 2-0 because De Gea did an outstanding job, and our Danny boy didn’t.

That VAR looked very dofgy.

there is no point playing Vardy anymore it just doesnt work and 2nd half rodgers didnt react to their change of approach .they barely touched the ball for 30 mins first half but made a change and we didnt react to it .

we will beat a lot of teams though

OK the camera angle isn't great but the line is exactly parallel to the mown grass lines across the pitch. Therefore, unless the ground staff have been on the piss, the line is not angled to favour Rashford. I'm not saying I'm not frustrated because I am, but the fact is there.

 

Any given point in the distance will appear to be not parallel with the focal point, It's called a "vanishing point".

 

This nonsense was supposed to be settled by going with the original decision unless there was a ‘clear and obvious error’ which patently there wasn’t in this case, but that seems to have been forgotten for some reason

To be honest all the matches to the end of the season will be tough. Teams keep getting results, Southampton, Everton, Forest. so we need to turn up for every match. Today was never going to be easy . If you strip out the ref. V.A.R. missed chances etc. they were a bit better than us but 3-0 was flattering. It just shows you how having a striker on a hot streak like Rashford makes all the difference as we know from Vardy.

He put pissing Soumare out there. Game was over as soon as he came on with Youri.

Still soft as shit mentally then

I blame our finishing more than our keeper. Ward is crap. Everyone knows that. But missing those chances in first half killed us.

Didn’t say that. I’m saying we had 2 cracking shots and De Gea did well to save. Our keeper is shocking, you cannot argue that.
