Not really. Apart from ASM's horror miss did you have any clear cut chances? Felt like the majority of shots were very comfortable for De Gea. Cavani had two clear cut from 12 yards and another from 18 yards when there was no keeper in nets. 

 

Jacob Murphy isn't expected to curl one in and neither is Almiron from outside the box. :lol:

 

Saying that, not the biggest fan of xG myself. 

 

You's had two really good chances and one of those scuffed in.  We hit the post and forced some excellent saves from your keeper.  Just had more shots on target overall as well.  The chance with the keeper out was not clear cut at all, we had like 4 on the line.  We had far more than you, you's got lucky.

About time Ronaldo's attitude was pulled up, Neville going in 2 footed on him and Fernandes tonight. Not before time either, he's a complete fucking toxic cunt. He's exceptional but he's a huge arsehole and always has been.

Man Utd were as bad as the stadium announcer tonight

 

Gutted we didn't win that

He the normal bloke now? Getting someone who can’t read numbers doesn’t seem a wise appointment.

Yeah we were poorly positioned on the initial pass out wide for their goal. Then everyone is running backwards trying to get in position and no one tracks or covers Cavani. 

I stand by that it was poor defending. 

 

But overall we deserved the win for sure.

Haha, aye, hitting the post is "just a shot off target".  But Cavani hitting it 6 feet wide is a real chance :lol:

 

It's from where the shot is taken. Not very hard to understand but seems some people have trouble with it. 

 

A player with the ball on the penalty spot taking a shot is higher xG than someone taking a shot from out wide in the box. 

 

Very, very basic to understand.

Hope not he was dreadful, don't think he's ever watched a football match in his life

As much as Man u didn't play well I think its important to acknowledge our game plan was much to do with that, we pressed high, hassled them all game, broke with speed and never let them settle. Their best period in the game was when we lost some of that momentum and players were clearly getting jaded and allowed them to play a bit more as we started to play deeper.

Signing Ronaldo has ruined Man utd.

 

Was talking to a friend of mine about this the other day.

 

Ronaldo is a phenomenal player, but you really could not have found a worse person to bring into that relatively young Man Utd team.

 

His stature and aura is too big, and all the players in there will look up to him, and instead of using that to encourage them and try and give them more confidence out on the pitch, he actually does the opposite by bitching and moaning at them all the time :lol:

 

He could do that in a more senior team like the one he was in at Juventus, because the likes of Chiellini, Bonucci etc will give it back in good measure and hold him accountable too.

 

In this situation though, it is a complete disaster.
