Precisely.

 

Moyes trying to manage one the biggest clubs in the world following the greatest manager in PL history. Hes not a top 6 manager.

 

Mourinho was a poor manager by the time he entered Man Utd and has never recovered.


With Moyes, they appointed him and didn’t back him. Expected to still be pushing top 3 with an aging squad on back of an all time manager. Jose was the choice they should’ve went at that point.
 

They then signed a bunch of established stars after Moyes, went LVG who wanted to play possession football which they wasn’t ready for. Sacked him then went Jose, but then at that point, started to move away from established stars which made little sense and then that ended.

 

OGS then in, and guess what, back to established stars :D That ends badly and it’s ETH and move away to passing. Goes poorly, so then get the next in thing in Europe but then in summer target prem based players without a prem based focus manager.

 

Way they go, they’ll sack Amorim, get a premier league based manager then flop to signing players from Europe that are not cut out for Prem like the Ugartes etc.

 Sesko didn't impose himself on the game at all. Man U is not the place for a centre forward lacking in confidence.

 

I do have a thing about modern commentators not identify players for you and giving you pointless facts and stats instead. Peter Drury could not conceal his feelings of wonder when he shared this nugget with the world - 'The last Manchester Derby which featured neither Ederson nor De Gea was 14 years ago'. 

 

Fascinating stuff.

Every man utd manager since Ferguson left has been short term and the wrong appointments.

mourinho never stays anywhere long, van gaal was drawing his pension when in charge, solskjaer poor manager fan favourite, moyes could've worked if given time, ten hag unproving, Amorim unproving.

basically told the German fella to do one when he told them what was needed.

Its like he sticks his arm out to cover space not to intentionally go for the ball. His reaction tells it all.


Not for me. Just turned his back cowardly with his arm up for extra protection.

 

Didn’t move his hand towards the ball deliberately or stop a goal bound shot going in.

 

Just feel the threshold is still far too low for what is going to lead to an almost certain goal. Maybe as a compromise an indirect free kick at most should be given.

In general I agree but not in this case. Wasn't deliberate but arms out like that isn't for protection.

So if it’s not deliberate it shouldn’t be a handball IMO.

 

Im not for one moment saying the current rules it’s not a handball. If they do they do but it just leaves a bad taste in the mouth every time for me.

 

When I think handball I think Suarez in the WC semifinal. Thats what penalties should be given for. Cheating and stopping certain goals.

There's a middle ground which I'd say this one was. It wasn't deliberately hand to ball but was making his area larger so the ball couldn't get through that space. Its his reaction as well, he knew there was an element of deliberateness to it

Aye was blatant handball TBF. 

Ah well at least Man U lost. Long may the Sesko drought continue- the idiot should have chose Newcastle. He can watch as Eddie makes Woltemade in a World Class player

The Liverpool/Burnley pen just feels so on brand for a game like that. A team on a hiding to nothing and definitely going to go down against a team who’s going to push to be champions. Just the way it goes unfortunately. The Burnley kid shouldn’t give them that decision to make.

someone should do a Isak Vs Pedro Vs Ekitike Vs Sesko Vs Delap Vs Woltemade Vs Wissa tracker 

 

Would be interesting to see how it all unfolds

 

Perhaps same with Kudus Vs Mbuemo Vs Elanga vs Semenyo
