That game says it all

[toptoon]

The team put in the effort across the whole game and the tactics were spot on in the first half - thanks Rafa.

We ran out of steam and lost the game because we had nothing on the bench. What did Hoss, Murphy and Atsu add to the game? Less than nothing IMO and Atsu was utterly sh*cking again - he wouldn´t get a game for the mackems at the minute.

You know how strong your squad is when you´re 0-2 up at half-time and still fully expecting to lose.

[Milburn9]

Gotta agree. Atsu....FFS.

[Geordie_Jacko]

Yep your spot on there. It's a hard loss to take and even though we were the better team not at one point did I think we would win that game and I hate that. Although at 2 up if the ref would have given the clear Fu(king pen we could well of put the game to bed but it just wasn't to be.

[Zippity]

Yup-said pretty much the same on the match thread.

Rafa had the tactics for the win and was let down by the quality of the subs available.

Atsu should never play for us again.

the difference is their subs who came on compared to ours !

[waalsendmick]

They spent £120m on their 3 subs alone.

Our team, fight hard, battles for their manager and gives their all.

We are just crap, end of.

Man utd only had to turn up for 20 mins and it was enough to beat us.

[Cannylad]

Even though he let three goals in MoM for me was Dubravka, some of his saves were spectacular and kept up the hope we would win.
Why the f'ck can't we play like that at home, great effort.
The commentators kept piss'ng me off by referring to Manure as "united" every two f'cking minutes.

[Kingstonbob1]

Only ourselves to blame and the blind officials of course. Muto header in the first half, blatant hand ball at the free kick (aye it was a hand by Muto later) that Ritchie would have scored then at 2-2 Diame whatever that was, it wasn’t a header from 8 yards. Played well but we will NEVER have a better chance to beat them and sack an ar2ehole manager like him. We now go into an international break to dwell on that which isn’t good. Brighton is must win. When did we last say that?

[Zippity]

Diame's challenge for the free kick that led to their goal was bloody stupid.

[Jammy89]

Exactly toptoon.

It'll be like this all season because our cancerous parasite of an owner wouldn't invest in what we needed.
