Thought it was a foul?

A manager should pick the players for the job in hand and not hold personal grudges

Maigure is better than Johnny Evans

To play Evans is just pathetic tbh . Maybe 5 years ago but he's what 35 almost 36

So, picking an international player with a whole stack of experience ahead of an injured player is pathetic?

How did you work that out?

Never celebrate a goal until the game kicks off again.

Kicking off a bit re is it offside. Now a picture paints a thousand words but the keeper has his hands on the player offside. That’s slack play from the offside player.

It’s pretty rubbish that this is what football has become though.

Where’s the squirrel

 

[Billysboots]

That pass and the finish were both top quality.

Right here.



Great assist, great finish!

Waiting for a VAR intervention before celebrating.

Great goal, Burnley been the better team.

I totally agree, it was a great goal.

It has been like this since 2019/20. although it has changed over the years to suit VAR, not the game it is still and will Continue to kill the game for the match going fans. Ideal for telly coz you get to see it from loads of different angles. Even then they get it wrong.
For me the arm chair fans ( and I am one of them ) should see exactly what match paying fans have to see. And that is nothing. They should see a blank screen. They should hear no commentary until a decision has been made and then armchair fans can appreciate what crap match playing fans have to go through when VAR comes into play.

I know at Old Trafford, Tash, the absence of big screens is such that fans don’t have any idea what the VAR is even checking for. I’ve been there when checks have taken three or four minutes and, for a paying fan in a ground, it is tortuous.

I honestly do not think armchair fans have any idea what match going fans have to go through when it comes to VAR decisions. Quite frankly it is purgatory and kills match day atmosphere.

Please, get Scott McTominay off. He is having an absolute stinker.

He always does, unless playing for Scotland. I'd put him in a short list of my least favourite midfielders at Utd in my lifetime

He’s conceding possession consistently, that’s when the game isn’t simply passing him by. He’s so far off the pace of this game it’s embarrassing.

Rashford as frustrating as ever

 

[Billysboots]

Garnacho for Rashford and Amrabat for McTominay would be good changes.

Give him some credit. He’s turned giving the ball away prior to standing and waving his arms at the referee into an art form.
