Was incredible. Not the result we wanted, but this is what being proud of your club feels like. Absolutely class. Nailed it. This time though we know its not going to too long until the next one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours was a fraction too slow for the second. The deflection was lucky but DDG probably saves it anyway. Just the gap in quality. Most set piece goals are lucky, it’s just the way it is.

Really hope we get him in the summer He’d have been sat with Gordon if we signed him in Jan, mind. Though getting an attacking MF in the summer is likely to be high on the list. The issue is that there are a few positions where that can be said - which is why this isn’t going to be a quick rebuild Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it doesn't help your position for you to declare that your opinion is correct. You and many others were absolutely dead wrong about Howe back in early 22. At no point did I write off Howe. Happy to admit he’s been a lot better than I thought and has my total respect for the job he’s done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Anyway, hope we start Isak and Gordon next game. Wilson and Almiron as subs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixx Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Heartbroken. But I want to get used to these occasions. Can’t really fault much in our performance. Burn isn’t quite up to standard and Wilson is completely lost. Still proud of everyone of them. And the support today. Man alive. On to the next one.

We played well without a goal threat. Now do you understand? Your'e obviously disappointed with the result but realistically we are still 3 three years away from Man Utd. What I am saying is on the day we more than matched them which is incredible. Look at the stats. Please dont come back with they scored two more goals than us.

Look at the stats. Please dont come back with they scored two more goals than us. A tired Man Utd sitting back and watching us ineffectually knock the ball around might just skew some of the possession statistics. They looked more dangerous than us second half via their counterattacks. They played Barcelona a couple of days ago, yet somehow looked fresher first half. If we scored, they’d have stepped back up a gear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did alright possession-wise but did nothing threatening for 95 minutes. Man Utd had hardly any of the ball, scored twice and soaked up whatever we had to offer. As I said, a tactical lesson.

toontownman Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Also feel this will just further motivate our ownership. They saw and felt the hunger today, the bitter disappointment. Impossible they weren't dragged deeper into this infectious addiction that comes with this club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Game sums up the season for me. Plenty of effort, plenty of pressure decent moments in the final third. Half-chances created but not taken, no genuine chances where we really opened them up, shots were blocked, saved, blazed over or scuffed wide. They on the other hand went forward a few times and looked dangerous virtually each time. Good quality into the box and a free header. 3 good passes and they've opened us up and it's 2. And from then on they looked in control of the game. We tried hard but they're better than us in lots of key positions and saw the game out like we were doing in October. Fans were superb but Wembley is a place for winners and their fans will go back smiling tonight, it happens and I'll take it on the chin but I'm sick of coming up short. I'll take the praise from neutrals but I'd rather beat teams like that and win things and we're still well short. Trophies >>>>> (patronising) praise. It'll come with time and we'll be back soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 2 minutes ago, The Butcher said: I actually think Big Joe can be an asset over the next few years. If we get a more technical player in alongside him and Bruno I think we'll be fine. He's too much of disruptance to not be useful. The problem (imo) is that we have him, Longstaff, Almiron, and Willock all in the same side most of the time. They all bring a lot individually (and in pairs) but as a team it's obviously lacking in quality on the ball. We only really have Bruno, Isak and Maxi who are actually dangerous.

TRon Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 We just weren't good enough in the end, no fault on the players, they gave their all, but the signings Man U have made this season made a huge difference. Varane and Martinez were outstanding at the back, which Henry Winter did predict btw, and Casimero....fair play @Froggy I took the piss when you splurged £60m on a 31 year old, but what a player.
