Match Man United [A] Sunday 14 Jan 16:30

[Bazali]

BBC highlights making it look like United were on top lol.

I'm afraid the actual stats tell the truth thou rather than their editing of the match and commentary

And how long did the highlights of 90 mins last?

Ten minutes?

Too much chat and too little footy imv

 

[Confusius]

I thought we deserved the win, but only barely.

Timo didn't surprise, but both him and Johnson are handicapping us in the final third. Porro is the only decent crosser. Timo's and BJ's efforts were hilarious, but my sense of humour won't last long.

For a debut, that was a really good performance! Had a lot of nice passes, and a fantastic assist on Bentancurs goal!

Mate, I'll argue well over the line for Spurs, but on MoTD you see it from 4 angles and you could clearly see he held the player back. The united player pulls his legs off the ground and Udogie pulls him backwards! It's a bullshit pen, but it's a pen. It's 2 pens for Liverpool.

Agreed,I thought it could have easily been given. It’s absolute stupidity to even grab the player there with VAR nowadays. Udogie is fantastic but has some naivety in his defending still. He did have a great game but is it just me or does it look like he’s never at it 100%? Its as if it’s too easy for him at times

Just watching MoTD now. Werner's shots are woeful. I was really hoping he would rewrite his history, but it's started with the highlight reel from his misses.

Pity it's not a highlight reel from his missus...

 

[Confusius]

PEH had 84 passes with a completion percentage of 88%.

How is that 'constantly giving away possession?'

Don´t you dare let facts get in the way of a good narrative!!!

Never a penalty in a million years

 

[Zest]

Richarlison 7 Goals and 3 Assists now, with the first half of the season carrying an injury, and having had surgery.

Time for Props.

I’m not saying it is but could easily be given nowadays. Players do stupid things at times and this was one of those times.

He didn’t need to grab him but then again the slowmo made it look like more of a grab. Not sure I’ve ever seen a penalty given for anything like that.
Maybe the one Haaland got for a grab in the box from a corner but this wasn’t a corner.

 

[White Hart]

Should have gone for that .

PEH. Held wrong side

I didn't see much detail of the match (had to watch it on a laptop from across the room), but I did notice Skipp had a few 'flair' moments. I had to double-check it wasn't Richie! Ididn't notice Hojbjerg at all.

Having Rod and Micky back is so, so good. We could really do with Kulu, though. We need someone who can cross (even if he bloody doesn't!). I was getting angry with BJ's ballooned ones going to the far wing.

How did Dragusin do in his cameo? I couldn't make him out.

Id prefer Porro playing further forward with Royal as right back than play Johnson at the moment

 

[Confusius]

In fairness, both he and Neville talked a lot of positives about Spurs, Keane meanwhile just blamed United's poor form that made Spurs look good.

I hate the twat, an unhinged ex-player full of bitterness and a man who has no joy.

Keane and misery go hand on hand with one another.

That´s some stretch of poor form, from Fergie´s retirement up til today!!

 

[Maureen]

Let's not forget Wan-Bassaka is in top form at the moment.

On the left?

 

[NotThatTedHughes]

We're obviously missing players but I would've taken Johnson off before Timo

Timo was gassed.

Indeed what I have said many times. Think royal would give enough freedom for porro. Whereas porro has to the defending and creating himself atm.

I think I mentioned it during the game

Subbing Royal on as RB and pushing Porro forward

Johnson needs some Ange coaching imv

Maccy T had 2 big chances to score for United.

 

[Percy Clay]

I didn't notice Radu do anything on my stop start phone steam while my wife was driving home.

Glad he came on though, in one of the great arenas, and saw us go away with a huge point, be a part of that.

He didn't have too many touches, but looked good when they came his way. There was one commanding defensive header and a couple of very elegant passes that augur well for the future. He oozed confidence. I think he'll be a really good signing.

 

[bus-conductor]

Fucking Ten Hag post match, "disappointed not to win, we scored two good goals and conceded two soft goals". Fucking silly Wanker.

 

[Streaky Bacon]

that bbc editing was bizarre

Agree. The united player felt a hand on his back then acted as though he’d been pulled.
It was a cute bit of play acting which the ref might have fallen for, but it’s nuts how someone can watch that on tv with the benefit of replays and actually think it was a penalty.
