It’s a foul. There’s no more to it than that. It wasn't. He was begging to not have the chance to fuck up another 1 on 1 There is nothing else to it. OK I don't put the equaliser purely down to this. But ultimately he's a wuss. |

They’re all diving all over the place nowadays. It’s not just Rashford. Anyone in their right mind is hitting the deck there because there’s enough contact to and the alternative is a foot race with Kyle Walker which maybe about three players in the world stand a chance of winning. Going away from goal on your weak foot. |

Going away from goal on your weak foot. Generally I agree. The game has gone way too soft. Was just speaking about that one instance. |

Reading through different forums and ETH is generally getting slaughtered.
Just can’t see him as part of the future setup(they will just see him as part of the old failed regime).

If we're claiming enough contact for that to be a foul, more would be coming. |

I also don’t think he’s really in a position to carry it much further as Walker has his arm across him so would’ve got his body across. |

On the plus side, Ten Hag set the team up more circumspectly.
Unfortunately, Casemiro and McTominay are for different reasons completely ineffective as midfielders. (Eriksen too, of course.)
The season's over. I know he's sent Gore off on loan, but wouldn't it make sense now to see if there are any youngsters who could contribute?
It's also pointless giving Rashford and Antony any more minutes: there's nothing to be learned about them.

I’m not arsed about United players going down too easily. Couldn’t care less. You don’t get decisions based on having principles or morals or being hard. Shy bairns get nowt. |

Happy to differ on this, he should've kept going imo |

Neglected the forward line last summer, chickens coming home to roost.

We will soon be a laughing stock. Delusional. What happened to the man who coached the brilliant Ajax and wanted to end City's and Liverpool's era in PL. We cant defend , we cant control the midfield or keep the ball , we cant score goals and crack under the slightest hint of pressure. ETH plays that useless Antony in every opportunity overlooking more deserving players. And now you have him coming and defending these players and performance. He has to go out. |

Those who peddle this injuries excuse need to learn that this injury thing is not luck. Season after season mancity have a fully fit squad for the last part of the season...it is not chance guys. Their style of play is sustainable.
The style of play is a huge factor in this. Every time you see mancity playing 600 or 700 passes, it is not just a cool stat. It is a stat showing how much more they get the ball to run for them vs players running for the ball. Our players dont even have a deep understanding about why we pass the ball vs running with it.
Against mancity we hit around 200 passes and they hit 700...imagine how much running our players did..will you be surprised if we suddenly get 3 more injuries this week.
Our style of play which is direct, transitional and end to end means that players run much much more. More running means more injuries. This is why you see some fans emphasizing the need to control games...you can not attack every time you have the ball. Great teams treasure the ball...they will recycle the ball with the GK over and over again inorder to bait the press. Pressing is them running more.
It shocks me that we have a keeper who is fantastic with the feet but we keep going direct even when there is no space behind or run in behind.
At some point you guys have to accept that ten hag is coaching this chaos survival football on purpose during the week. If we struggle with this number of injuries when playing once a week, imagine how many more we will have if we play twice a week.
