While the separation to Arsenal in 4th is all from the ganes in hand, it's imperative to win tomorrow. That gap cannot widen.


Especially when we are playing bottom of the table teams

Lineups for both teams are posted. I guess we are ready for liftoff.

Dave, Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Telles, McTominay, Fred, Bruno, Mase, Rashford, Ronaldo

Subs include Cavani, Sancho.

Worst team in the entire PL and they have 1 player. 1. Just stop him. Or not.

Well. That was sad.

It's time for Rashford to sit. He brings nothing to a motion style offense.

We look like a team that hasn't played or trained in two weeks.

Sancho was warming up at the end of the 1st half. You may get your wish.

Or at least force him onto his weaker foot

Disjointed is too kind a word for what this is.

Rashford drove the ball the length of the field and had CR7 and Cavani open on his left but decided to jam himself into the area. Why?
Dre_00

I really don't understand the logic of taking Fred off at HT for Cavani. It's like Ralf decided that providing any semblance of control, passing or shielding for the defense was a lost cause and decided to just burn the whole thing down instead.
Mathguy64
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Well unlike Fred he can actually score?
Dre_00

Let me rephrase.

Liked the Cavani addition.

Not at the expense of Fred.

I know basically nothing about Man U, but I bet on them winning, and I came here to say please come through for me.

There is literally no spacing. Everyone is trying to cram themselves into a strip 20 yards wide.

Varane has had a brutal day.
Mathguy64
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Matic is just so so bad. That clearance was horrid.
Mathguy64
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Just brutal. I'm not sure how much worse they can play. I'm afraid we are going to find out.

Whatever system Rangnick had them playing was beyond me. I didn't see any semblance of structure. Just random soccer.

How many times in the last 3-4 years have we dropped points to relegation tier teams? I have to imagine we have the worst record of the Big 6 clubs against teams that finish in the bottom 3
Dre_00

It's going to be a long remainder of the season if Ralf just abandons the idea of a central midfield until he can bring in a player or 3.
Dre_00

Not to pile on but that Norwich team that outplayed us and deserved at least a point against us has since gone on to be outscored 10-0 in their last 3 games.

I still think Ralf was a good hire but it's clear that even the short term issues on the pitch weren't just an Ole problem.

It's a cultural issue pervasive throughout the club and has been since SAF left

Big game today with another bottom feeder. Not winning today against Burnley at OT (and Burnley hasn't played in 18 days) would be a very bad sign.

Bruno is out for card accumulation. I wonder if we will see DVB in his place. If he can't get a start here you have to wonder if he will ever get one.
Mathguy64
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah. No DVB. But we got McT and Matic in some weird double pivot. If they manage to get the ball to the front 4 ij open run it will be a miracle. If Burnley sits back in a bunker this could be a very long day.

Dave, AWB, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw, Matic, McTominay, Sancho, Mase, Cavani, Ronaldo

It's Burnley, this will undoubtedly be an excruciating game to watch

How did Ronaldo not score that

1v1 with the GK and CR7 doesn't even put it on frame.

Scott slots home from edge of the box

Burnley have had some good chances early on as well

Sancho pokes in a 2nd that may have deflected off Ben Mee

Apparently they decided it was an OG. Harsh luck for Sancho
Thunder18

Scott almost bangs in a 2nd from the edge of the box, but hits woodwork and falls perfectly to CR7. 3-0 before half
Thunder18

Naturally we give up a paper soft goal within minutes.

The 3-1 score line belies just how slow these two teams have played. It looks like they are running in sand.

McTominay and Shaw were both class today

DvB has got to go. If he can't get a solitary minute in a game where Bruno is suspended then he has no chance.

Go forth and prosper young man. This place is not for you.
