I've never seen us lose a 2 goal lead to any team more than Man Utd, but my god, if we do it tonight it'll be embarrassing.

Dodger penalty and questionable sending off 2nd half, mark my words

 

[Steedie]

I have to say, I think ETH has to be the worst manager we've had (Rangnick not included as he was a bizarre caretaker/eventual director that never happened) since Fergie left.

I don't credit him with any of last seasons success, it was a bizarre period similar to when Solskjaer took over, where we just had this really good run and when the bubble burst, we were welcomed back to reality

Our team looks more devoid of ideas and tactics than it did under Ole

 

[JamesH85]

When was the last time United went five games without scoring

 

[Bounce]

Gotta believe in the project !

Look Rashford had a shot that’s a positive

United last season got lucky that a few teams dropped off and they had a decent run in the cup and only actually played a Prem team in the final. Even then Newcastle deserved to win, it papered over a lot of cracks.

He's wasted too much money on players that arent up to it. ETH hasnt taken United forward at all.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Just shows, David Moyles and Jose did a half decent job at Man U.

 

[el_dazza]

United are certainly getting chances.

 

[Maundie]

Onananananananana is looking much better as a ‘rush’ keeper

 

[Bounce]

Yeah, you’re right. Evans who won 3 league titles and a cl and a bunch of cups wouldn’t get into a fergie team.

haha your right , 40 year old defender who’s slower than my grandad is defo a player in his ‘prime’

Is a "rush keeper" a keeper you dont play? If so I agree completely.

You didnt say in their prime and Fergie brought a near 40 yr old Scholes out of retirement so...

Think Fergie would be looking to bring an 84 year old Scholes atm.

 

[C Kent]

Embarrassing we drew with this shower of ****

 

[Robbo]

Embarrassing we drew with this shower of ****

Yep.

We're normally much worse in the second half too, so this will be fun

 

[eurokage]

Do any United players understand how to stay ONSIDE?!

 

[nemtizz]

Man U's wingers are so predictable. Cut inside and shoot every time, and then get called offside. Hojlund must be fuming.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Composure at the back and the defensive line of Villa is a thing of beauty, very well managed team.

 

[explicit4u]

Villa are crazy good at catching teams offisde, the amount of offsides against United is by design.

 

[Robbo]

Well, we actually did better than I was expecting in that first half.

A damning indictment...

He could do with moving to be fair.
