Rocker Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 1 hour ago, Froggy said: I think Wilson and Sancho both dived and shouldn't have got the pen. Ronaldo's was the pen. Trippier just bundled him over as he was about to shoot from a few yards out. Froggy mate, take a day off man. From what I remember you're actually quite a nice person in real life. Divven't spoil it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a long way to go. The closest precedent to it I could find is the Zaire player in the World Cup booting the ball away before Scotland got to take the kick. A staple of bloopers tapes until people started to wonder if laughing at underdeveloped footballing nations for not knowing the rules was a bit rum.

Stottie Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Here's the Fred chance. I thought it looked well off in real time, but the commentators seemed more interested in having a go at Pope. Man U get 0.4 xG for a chance that would not have stood as a goal, but I'll take that so long as Schar didn't injury himself in challenging Fred.

The Butcher Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Trippier on Ronaldo was just clever defending. Never a pen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 For what it's worth I thought we actually played quite well yesterday. We're a million times fitter than we were under Ole and Rangnick. Very few teams are going to have the intensity and workrate of Newcastle. If we play like that against bottom half teams we'll blow them away.

buzza Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I agree, second half you plyed much better than we did but it didn´t click for either side up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a long way to go. We usually do this quite a lot but the majority of times we had players down yesterday they’d taken a fair whack. Bruno Fernandes doing a Yohan Cabaye and trying to break someone’s ankle then immediately apologising. He makes someone like Zaha look relatively sedate with his whinging.

aussiemag Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Yeh Man utd’s ability to pass through our press was actually quite good. We lost our shape and midfield solidarity when Bruno went off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a fair chance he'd have been subbed for Fred if he had started, especially in a game as physically demanding as this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Thought ours was about as clear cut a penalty as it gets, Wilson was cleaned out by Varane. How it wasn't given beggars belief. Sancho's was a pen too and I think he would have got it had he not massively oversold his dying swan act.

Kid Icarus Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Incidentally the amount of people on tik tok and YouTube trying to claim that the world is against them is class. Apparently Ronaldo's 6 meters offside goal and him kicking away our free kick should have stood, they should have had a pen, the ref was against them, and Tifo have anti-Man United bias. There's no supporter group in the country that's more populated by overgrown entitled bairns than Man United's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Thought it was weird how we tired in the second half. I wondered if Howe had told players to conserve energy for the run of games (coupled with us having a thin squad) but he mentioned there's been some illness in the team so maybe it was that.

Sima Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Would be interesting to see Froggy's patter if we were superior to Man Utd for a sustained period of time.

We play a high intensity, pressure game which takes its toll, especially as we don't have a squad yet capable of doing it for a full 90 against the better teams.
