Impossible to get a pen at anfield without var if not in red

We should have had one a clear pull on his arm.

But imo if you claim to many times for silly ones your unlikley to get one as the ref thinks your taking the mick.

None of the handball shouts were penalties- even with VAR they wouldn’t have been given , one of them hit Kostas in the stomach

Yours makes up for your first goal being offside tho lol

At least one of them was hand ball if not two

Some things just don't seem to change.

Yes he did look off
Gomez his arm is by his side.
The other hit Timikas stomach then his arm that’s not a pen either.
Back to the old days ball to hand.

If they were the other way, you can bet your life scousers would have got at least two of them.

Why when they werent handball ?

We didn’t get the penalty when Jones was pulled back or when Bowen took out Gakpo

 

[PJ87]

I'll take the positives. Until the stupid decision by Alvarez to make that tackle we were in the game and least looked like we might make something happen

Killmans control for that chance was unfortunate

Good game, but once your down to 10 Liverpool are going to run riot with those attackers

 

[clubchamp98]

Idiot getting sent off.
You were still in the game until then.

Yep was a stupid tackle , it was only 3-1 then and still causing issues

Not sure why Antonio doesn’t start more he made a huge difference

Very stupid tackle, he was never getting it and Salah wasn't going anywhere. Just leave him be. On a yellow he needed to think more.

But Rodriguez will cover him Saturday and prob be a better game for it as we will have to not play 2 deep defensive midfielders

That's a generous word to use.

He stumbled round like a new-born deer on ice.

It was the slip that cost him the chance tho, whilst he did stumble if it wasn't for that slip he would have got that . Nevermind

That’s saying the refs are biased

Leandro Trossard: Arsenal midfielder's red card against Manchester City was correct, says KMI panel

Referee Michael Oliver was right to send off Leandro Trossard in Arsenal's dramatic 2-2 draw at Manchester City, says the Key Match Incidents panel.

As someone said on the HYS on the BBC, what is the point of this panel.

Another flop for EtH in Europe or is it a case of expectation by media and fans is now so high and they are expected to go deep https://www.skysports.com/football/manchester-united-vs-fc-twente/report/521752

Not sure it is a "flop", nor do I think expectations are high. Although, when Utd don't win, for some reason many seem to be comparing how bad Utd are to the way the side played under Sir Alex in PL.

Utd are nowhere near finished article, so that means it is inevitable they'll fail to win games they should have done. But, the progress will be that if we don't win, so long as there is a feeling we controlled much of the game and should have taken chances, that is progress towards a better "style of play". Worse if we are losing games, and being absolutely battered and deserve to lose.

I actually wish we had one or 2 players with huge arrogance / confidence in front of goal, because nobody seems to be ruthless at all.
 
Bruno now seems to be the biggest problem in this spell. He has been really poor, I didn't even realise he was playing last night until I saw him back end of 1st half. Hopefully if Mount stays fit, Erikssen hitting a decent patch (despite error last night), and several options as defensive midfield cover, ETH will look to "rest" Bruno at some point, and Bruno won't take his place for granted.

But, I have been much happier this season with performances, except the spell Liverpool smashed in their goals.

Fair argument. As an outsider who always want the English sides to do well in Europe, I find United a hugely frustrating watch especially in Europe. The Eridivisie isn't as strong as the PL and Twente should be a side that United can beat especially at home. There seems a fragility at times and almost trying too hard to win and certainly not concede. I have been one that suggested EtH gets time to build and mould and I stick with that. However I do think a poor European campaign would significantly weaken his position if the PL form also struggles and they only get a Europa Conference or league place again. I think owners and fans see CL as the benchmark

United have won 1 in 10 of their last 10 European matches.... That's frankly pathetic.
