One time he thought he had about half anhour, but do prem teams not give the "man on" shout? I don't understand why players weren't screaming at him to get rid.
A more than solid game from Pierre today.

A more than solid game from Pierre today.
It wasn't a hand on his back, it was two arms around his midriff. Destiny got away with one there.

We defended poorly, gifted them the two goals...and very nearly a third at the death.
Not the first time this season we make it harder for ourselves and eventually cost us the 3 pts. Need to address that.
Gotta be more clinical up front too.
Our squad was good enough despite the many injuries.
I said it was a bullshit pen, but we’ve seen them given a hundred times. No one should do that in the box. It’s idiotic and most often will get a pen. He didn’t have to act, you can clearly see doggie pulling him.
Maybe I missed some key moments. I didn’t think the assist was anything special. Rods run made it happen. Did he manage a shot on target? Did he complete a cross?
For a debut, that was a really good performance! Had a lot of nice passes, and a fantastic assist on Bentancurs goal!
Timo shot two absolute howlers which just reminded me of his lowlight reel.
I did like his pace and positioning, though. But we should hope for a lot more from him and BJ in future.
First of all, I think United played well. They pressed hard in the first half and sat back and looked to counter in the 2nd. This wasn't the same United that have looked lacklustre in games this season. They looked to exploit Porro's forward positioning and attacked almost exclusively down the left. Thankfully, Porro put in a heroic MOTM performance and at times it seemed there was 2 of him.
Nice debut from Werner.
Skipp didn't have a great game and often I was sure what role he was playing. Only 37 touches of the ball (Hojberg over 100) and most of those by Skipp were in the United final 3rd. Certainly a midfield player should have the lowest number of touches of any player (including the keeper).
Good point away from home.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
It will always be that way. We went there and played them off their own park. Ritchie did great - his hold up play was excellent but in a world where we have a world class 9 and this is 4-nill
It's not just the on the ball stuff. Huge workrate which is vital.
Happy to be wrong but I thought he had an excellent game, more so without the ball but a contribution or whatever the f*uck they call it these days.
Very solid start.
I’m pleased to hear that. I didn’t have the best view of the game so it was mostly goalmouth and replays which didn’t give him much credit.
Would only have taken them to 2-1 at that point, no guarantee the game continues in the same fashion after that, if you want to go down the bizarro world route I think it's more likely we would have won if you moved back their goal to go 2-1 up by five minutes than that the game continued exactly as it was and they won 3-2.Destiny Udogie caught 'hugging' Garnacho as Man Utd denied 'clear penalty'

You just explained why it wasn’t a foul. It was minor holding that happens all game and the United player decided to fall over.
They didn’t give a pen because of the way he threw himself to the ground. MU fans begging for scraps because that’s what they’re used to.
There's such a gulf in the way the two teams played today. We were brave and played some lovely football out from the back. The way we beat the press with slick one or two touch passing is a sight to behold. We deserved to win but sadly got sucker-punched twice.
By contrast, Yanited looked like a team of individuals without any clear gameplan. We turned the ball over with ease in the second half and looked like the home team. To dominate at Old Trafford is still an accomplishment even though they're now a shadow of what they were under Frazzle face.
Credit goes to Ange especially considering how many players we are missing.
Special mentions for Richy (best I've seen him play for us), Bentancur, and Porro. Just shows we have more big game players than just Sonny and Maddison. Proper team effort - COYS

Result was disappointing but the performance was not and apart from defence( even with the centre backs just returning ) the team is still threadbare at the moment and clearly running on empty in the last 15 minutes.
I have nothing but praise for the effort , not only for taking it to them but also for digging deep and never giving up and running themselves into the ground.
An illness through the camp and the much maligned PEH/Skipp partnership in the engine room on paper would put the fear into even the Lilywhiteist of hearts. Yet we leave the cauldron of prawn sandwich and silence unhappy and that is testament to how far we have advanced in such a short period of time. COYS

Stop being soft, it was never a pen
