Just seeing Ole's comments about the handball VAR challenge. High comedy.

Swear there is more outrage over this accidental handball incident than when Maguire intentionally kicked Batshuayi in the nuts

As a United fan, I'm a little concerned with Fernandez' body language lately. He seems at odds a lot with his teammates out there and a lot of the team, including him, are going through the motions a lot more often than I'd like to see.

I think he's just frustrated because he's a player that runs a lot, and your coach doesn't really do him any favors with the way he sets up vs top 6 opposition.

He's halfway played out of the game before the game even starts.

Man United's form against the others in the traditional big six in the league this season is hilariously shocking, and consistent. These are the results starting with the most recent—if I hadn't heard it on a podcast, I wouldn't have believed it. I knew there were a few goalless draws, but not this many.

Chelsea 0

Re: 2020-2021 English Football Thread

Nah that’s clear as day the VAR ref protecting his friend.

You can watch the VAR ref keep re-drawing the lines until he’s offside lmao.

That’s actually outrageous.

New training method for all players entering the attacking penalty area.



I see Wolves are one-shot-one-goaling them right now. Big FM vibes.

Well why are we blaming only United for that? It’s not like the other teams aren’t also playing them same draw. Last year United did the double against City. Did the double against Chelsea. Did the double against Leicester. Are we not giving credit there too?


What’s exactly so shocking? They are overachieving at being in 2nd place in the league right now. I’m more shocked by that then them trying to keep games close against the teams that can actually hurt them. Under Fergie, that’s how they garnered a lot of success. Keeping it close and countering another quality team to death. It’s what they are trying to do now under Ole.

From the United thread:

Horrible game. United always wanted a draw, or to try and keep it a draw and snatch a lucky goal. Hate that strategy. Thry deserved nothing today. Uninspired boring football.

I'm not blaming anyone—just pointing out that they're the constant in all of those results.

As for shocking, what's shocking is how poor their form is against bigger clubs this season, which you just further illustrated by bringing up their form last season. Therefore, their form this season is, to me, shocking (which mostly means I find it interesting).

I'm aware what i said in the other thread. They are my words lol. I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. I already said it above in here. United always try to keep games close against big clubs and snatch a late result. I dont exactly like it, but its gotten them 2nd place currently in the league, which is higher than any of us really thought to be honest.

It's just as shocking to me then that most of the time other big clubs dont exploit this and get more points off of them.

I'd say they (finally) learned to not take the open invitation to bring players forward and allow United to play on the break where they seem most comfortable.
