Well congratulations to Villa and their manager.
They destroyed our high line today and we were lucky it was only 7.
Robbo the only one to hold his head up high imo.
But when your having a bad day there’s very little you can do about it.
We just don’t have a plan B still.
We had chances first half ,but poor finishing again.
Deffo a pen on Salha.
But got what we deserved for that performance.

Maybe because you were being totally outplayed.....

The only person to blame is Martial for retaliating to a shove.

I don't think we were being totally outplayed.

Oh, and Lamela is obviously totally blameless for getting Martial sent off. :rolleyes:
Just because he gave Martial 'a shove' .................... in the face .................... with his elbow!

Thought Lamela was shocking. As bad as any of the worse divers we've seen throughout Europe going down like that. Martial was an idiot for raising his hand and touching Lamela but Lamela over reacted and was very poor

Havnt seen it yet .
But the comments are not good.
How can refs be fooled by this these days with VAR there to help them.

Neville seemed to think you were, as did Evra.

as to Lamela, he and Martial should both have both been yellow carded. That being said, if martial had shown Restraint then worst case you‘Re both still at 11 players, best case Lamela is off.

The Ref wasn’t fooled, yes Lamella is a disgrace, but again it is the law that’s at fault, Martial raised his hands intentionally and caught him in the face, he gave the Ref no choice.

The biggest discussion is whether Lamella should of walked as well, but his raised arm was decreed a yellow.

We have to stop blaming officials for player’s petulant behaviour.

Ole's not the immediate problem at United. Woodward and the Glazers are. They need a proper director of football before they need a new manager.

He is the problem. Granted he's not the only problem but Woodward and the Glazers are going nowhere.

Ole is a medicore manager that has failed at every single club he's been at. He got Cardiff relegated and didn't even manage to win Molde a title. In fact the year before his tenre they won it and the year after he left they also won it! He'd not even get a high level Championship job, yet he's been installed at the biggest club in the country with the toughest job.

He's been at the club for almost two years and the side hasn't improved at all, if anything it's got worse. Under Jose they would at least control games, have a game plan and be well coached. They're nothing short of a shambles and getting worse. The longer he's at the club, the more damage he'll do. All United do is counter attack against the big sides to some success, then turn in abject performances against most other teams and rely on individual quality to win games. Theres no set style, no well drilled formation or pressing - it's all a mess. Last season 66 points was a poor total that under any normal season would be 6-7th, it was down to the wire on the last day even then. On paper finishing third was progress but apart from a run of a dozen games before and after lockdown, they were dire.

He's Woodward's goafer and yes man. Woodward can't sack him because it'll make himself look bad and the Glazers won't get rid of Woodward as long as he's covering their interest payments by finishing 4th occasionally. But even with the Glazers and the bumbling Woodward, a decent manager would do so much better with that squad. Mourinho got a far worse team into second and won two trophies.

I think the VAR ref should have asked the ref to watch the footage .
I would have given Lammela another yellow for simulation and sent him off.

And that’s a red for Shaw. The reffing and laws of the game are posh poor after that.
Who’s was worse Martial or Shaw.

Don't think any fooling took place. They do check red cards on VAR and here they would have seen Martial put his hand on Lamela's face, so no error from the ref, red card stands. Ref gave nothing on Lamela so nothing to review. Perhaps he will get a retrospective ban from the league, I don't know.
