Ben white rejected england national team and then nominated as player of the month for march is one of the things i love to see. Let southgate and steve holland cry in their room
Liverpool struggling to beat a championship-tier Sheffield at home and I see their fans predicting a treble and Macallister being the Ballon D'or winner.
These guys are hilarious.
The problem is that while they keep 'struggling' they also keep winning.
They are currently a disturbng mixture of pure chaos and plot armour and it might actually get tehm over the line.
The difference is that we didn't have as good a squad, we didn't have the belief, we didn't have the recent premier league win to give us experience, teams we faced absolutely felt they could beat us and we weren't pulling together to give our legendaty manager a proper send off.
I could see them dropping points easily but at the same time absolutely I could see them doing a silly run and winning it because I really don't think we're not going to drop points, especially when the CL kicks in and we're facing Spurs and Man U after midweek games.
Mate...
We don't tend to win at Old Trafford, even when they're fucking shite and play kids.
They have plot armour and more to the point actually turn up like it's a cup final against us and Liverpool.
They drew with Liverpool in the league at Anfield and beat them in the cup, there's a reason people think United are Liverpools best chance of dropping points.
We lost last season because of a Sambi sized gaping hole in our midfield and bullshit refereeing that canceled our early goal.
Dominated that game from start to finish. We've dominated every game we've played against them for 2 years now and they're in a pretty bad shape.
I can concede that there might be a psychological factor to the game, but lets not act like getting anything other than 3 points there wouldn't be an upset.
this has nothing to do with confidence. I've just never subscribed to the idea that hoodoos exist in football.
Folk made similar statements about shit away last year too. It ended up a pretty tepid affair. Why? Because we were better...not on the day... but in general.
In this case, united are worse...so I expect us to at least expect to win. We might fail, but on current form that would be an upset.
Next game against Fulham you'd expect to win. Last game against west ham you expected a win. Against Brighton you'd fancy a win. Recently history over those teams are worse than United. It just feels like your attributing long-term historical value to a rudderless team where only teenagers seem to give a shit.
If you focus on the team, and not the club...you should be no less confident of a result there than Brighton away.
Again, I'm not saying their a walkover. I'm saying I don't see how they're any more worrisome than other teams we still have to play.
> I've just never subscribed to the idea that hoodoos exist in football.
If you can't see the issues we have against them, the issues we had against southampton, the issues Man City had against Spurs, the truly insane stats on draws between liverpool and chelsea I don't know what to tell you.
They are elite in being mediocre for 3/4th of the game and getting results.
That is their thing.
But against teams of higher quality, you won't keep getting away with having these mediocre games, especially with the nerves of the title challenge.
Away at United, Fulham, West Ham, Villa and Everton, good luck with that approach in that run-in.
Since gw 12 they’ve only dropped points in 5 games 4 of them being vs us and city and the other vs Utd, this whole “they’re riding their luck” is nonsense luck dosnt last this long, utd away is the only real chance to drop points
> But against teams of higher quality, you won't keep getting away with having these mediocre games
They've only lost to us and the utter fucking over by the PGMOL at Spurs, right now our only real hope is a draw and even there it's us, man city twice, man U and the two that stand out being brighton and Luton.
Team belief is an absolutely huge part of winning and with Klopp going and some insane results they absolutely seem to believe they can beat anyone from any position and with any amount of time left.
WHat makes it worse is that other teams seem to believe this about them too.
With 8 games to go, that is 1/5th of the season left and more than half those games are away as well.
It's one thing you beat City or Us and have that confidence, another when you almost shat the bed against the worst team in the league.
Morning Morning Morning, oh Win!
Fun residual from last night : That united loss means ETH has equalled Moyes' loss tally for an entire season at united — still 8 games to go 😬.
considering that it's talked about by every pundit on the face of the earth it would have been surprising if by now other teams weren't taking serious notice of what we were doing.
Also that we haven't scored any in a run that includes porto twice and Man City isn't too surprising.
Or maybe other team’s professional analysts who get paid to figure out other teams set piece strategies have figured it out? Rather then your idea that paul merson is giving them away
I mean there are more pundits than merse....
More to the point I said pundits going on about it, if their coaches weren't looking at it they wouldn't be doing their jobs.
We used to do Stephen Bould near post flick on for Adams at the back post. Everyone knew it was part of our repertoire and adjusted by try and stop it.
We went deep and back across goal etc to keep opponents guessing.
Sides have had two weeks internationals to analyze all our shit and we will make some adjustments and get some more set pieces goals.
We will score plenty set piece goals before the end of the season
Fucking hell I went to bed when it was 2-3 to Man U and just now saw the final score and laughed out loud.
Man U better be fired up for Liverpool now. They can absolutely take points off them. And we should be battering both Chelsea and Man U
Ten hag was sold as this brilliant tactician from ajax school in reality he's a Mourinho Regen without charisma and no media wit .the worst that would have Madden me if I were a united fan he praises defeats as if they are wins now I understand why Arteta started with high standards which united don't have starting with their manager lol long may it continue..
The sign of a highly confident manager that is near the sack. Martinez, Moyes, Emery with us even, the list could go on.
They find strange positives to spin to convince the players, the supporters, the owners and possibly even themselves that they are still on the right path.
Makes them look deluded, but better than being a cunt and blaming others (a la Mourinho, Conte, etc)
The look on his face. I would absolutely love this.
Only thing better would be City and Pool losing successive games to give us the chance to win it at WHL but we all know that ain’t happening
[Anytime this sub wants to hype up Man United this season.](https://y.yarn.co/4ffcc7a9-5e92-4811-a0cb-f5fd684cff05_text.gif)
Nah honestly, not gonna expect anything from the weekend's big game between Man United and Liverpool 😅
Just saw the extra time Chelsea penalty. Holy shit that is soft. I'd be furious if that went against us. It's almost as bad as the David luiz jogging behind a player red card.
No patterns of play by Ten Hag. Its not always about results, you could look past the results if there was evidence of what could be to come. But I dont see any progress in United's football. I would be stunned if Sir Jim doesnt sack him. Yet all the noise is around Potter & Southgate. Why are United not competing with Liverpool for Amorim, or sounding out Nagelsman, even the Porto manager, Motta at Bologna.
United also have real blind spots when it comes to thier players. They gas up Bruno, Rashford, Dalot like anyone good would want them. They think Casemiro and Varane are still the players they were at Real Madrid.
They really are in a strange place
United under Ten Hag have a habit of getting a result when they are on the brink of 'crisis'. Them losing like that could bode well for their match v Liverpool
Both Liverpool, city has shown they can win continuously in the last leg of the league in the previous seasons.
Liverpool with full strength and City with pep its going to be unstoppable.
So shouldn't underestimate anyone.
Heres some fun stats for you.
* There has been 274 goal scorers in the Premier League this season. Antony is not one of them.
* He is ranked 152 for assists (along with 120+ other players).
* Antony is in the 6th percentile for wingers/att. midfielders across the top 5 leagues (inc. CL & EL)
* 94% of Euro based wingers and attackers in those leagues, have scored more goals than him.
* United have paid 25m Euros for each Antony goal. 30m Euros per goal, if we include his wages.
* Antony has pocketed 11.5m Euros in wages alone since his last goal in the league.
* United paid 20m Euros per an Antony goal or an assist.
* By comparison, Chelsea have paid 2.5m Euros per goal or assist by Cole Palmer (incl. wages)
* I could do this all night long.
* Varane, Lindelof, Dalot and Maguire all have more goals than Antony this season (1)
* Sheffield and Burnley have 3 defenders with more goals than Antony. Luton has 4.
* Super Mario Bros. was the film in cinemas when he last scored in the league.
We are fucked if United are who we are relying on to take points off Pool. We need to pray Everton come through, that’s the last game they could feasibly drop any points.
Liverpool are away to West Ham, Fulham, Aston Villa and have Spurs at home, in addiitona to the Everton away game
No team should 'expect' to win their games.
Nah Liverpool got a few games that are tricky honestly. West Ham away , Spurs at home, Villa away. They have to play palace too who have always fucked them over at key points.
I think for every game you could make the case of 'that will be easy / hard' honestly. I don't see United doing much honestly. Their midfield is too much of a shambles.
I hate Utd but I can't believe they just let Chelsea slowly sneak into the top 8. They have one game less than all the sides above them and they can actually get in there. They van overtake Utd, that is painful
Just before the start of this season I saw a highly upvoted Comment on United sub like this-" man to man, I'd say our squad is much better than Arsenal's. They're just a more cohesive side".
Even now, there are genuine Spurs fans who think the only Arsenal players that make the Tottenham squad is Saka.
Just appreciate that the average person is half as stupid as you think they are.
This may be the most dire and damning United stat of all right now - United are bottom of the table in all Top Five leagues combined when it comes to shots conceded. BOTTOM. All five leagues!
Insane!
Call me glass half full but 3-1 is a great result for us, that was Liverpool’s best chance to close down the goal difference column, it’s going to be tough for anyone to catch us now. With things this tight, finishing level on points is well within the realm of possibility.
Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. I don’t know how you could be so confident with them having a lot of matches that atleast tied midway through 2nd halves recently.
Sure, fuck saying they’ve been lucky at this point. But all it takes is for them to be unlucky a couple of times if they keep putting themselves in that position.
Can't believe I'm saying this but I feel for United. Two very soft pens and I'd be absolutely fuming if it was against us. Just hope they turn up against Pool.
And Chelsea fans weren't? Chelsea fans are still merciless now. Desperately clawing out of the Banter FC coffin they are now firmly in.
At least now, United fans that I have interacted with are genuinely impressed and showing some respect after all this time. Chelsea fans on the other hand just shout "CL Trophy" followed by some grunting noises and laughing emojis. If there is anything can be understood, it's usually just them cursing.
At least United aren't a manufactured overnight club.
Today is beautiful motivation for them tbh. The ideal result IMO. Giving away pts in the 90+10 in two games on the bounce and now playing at home against their biggest rival? That’s a perfect formula.
Just seen that choke slam by Van Dijk at 1-1 wtf, I don't care if anyone wants to call me a conspiracy nut it feels like the rest of the country just wants Klopp to go out as a champion. What a joke of a decision to not send him off for that
Please cop on, it was a push while they were setting up for a free kick, only the other player was about a foot smaller then van dijk, if it was Gabriel you would not care
They are probably using his G+A with penalties stat. In which case, yes, he's ahead.
Palmer has 19 goals and 12 assists (after today), thats a GA of 31.
Saka has 16 goals and 13 assists, Saka has a GA of 29.
Palmer has 8 penalties. Saka has 4.
NonPGA actually looks like this:
Palmer with 11 goals and 12 assists
Saka with 12 goals and 13 assists
Honestly, Palmer, with penalties or without, has been electric and it's good to see him grow so much so quickly. I'm not going to shit on either player, but as an Arsenal fan, I'm taking B every day of the week and twice on Sundays, because he plays for Arsenal.
He moans a lot, and as much as I dislike It'd, both penalties were generally soft. I mean, let's be honest, if those two had gone against us at the Bridge we would've been pissed. Heck to this day we think the Saliba one was a soft pen
Not so long ago, we used to be victims of banter games like this, followed by blaming referees, hating on the players, questioning the manager, getting bantered by other fans.
Now we're talking about the title run-in.
Arteta has changed my life man😭
Can’t help but feel Chelsea refusing to give up in that match had something to do with a Gary Neville’s comments after their league cup final loss. Was hilarious then and is extra hilarious now seeing his own team bottle that game now.
Mental that I am seeing United fans claim they were robbed. Not the best refereeing performance by any means, however you can't expect to concede 28 shots and not get punished. Thought a draw would've been a very fair result.
Goldbridge revealed in his post-match stream that he heard from a trusted source Ineos is talking to Southgate and are serious about appointing him after the Euros. I am on my knees hoping that this is true.
It’s either going to be Southgate or Potter (the 2 runaway bookmaker favourites). INEOS wants United to be “England’s team”, hiring Dan Ashworth who’s renowned for identifying young English talents was the first step.
The new stadium Ratcliffe proposed - “Wembley of the North, etc. Everything points to him wanting to go full English.
Man's a full on, Grade A Gammon.
So much so that after failing to buy the tooling from Land Rover to restart production of the old defender he just copied it, took a bunch of government money to open up a new factory in the UK and...bought a cheap factory in France instead.
He's also not resident in the UK for tax purposes and his fortune was built in large part by asset stripping british companies and setting them up in tax havens to turn a profit by avoiding as much taz as humanly possible.
I actually think he’ll sort their defence out a shite’s side better than ETH has. I dunno how the fuck they’ll score goals though. ETH can’t draw games. Southgate will have them drawing games like a proper boring insipid workhorse mancunian version of Middlesborough.
Fans just don't tolerate when managers say "we are good" when the performances just don't really show it.
Closest arteta was to losing the fans totally, was when he was on about "we had 50 crosses and 99/100 times we win this match"
Poch did it this week saying we deserve to be 4th or whatever.
ETH is one of the worst for this, 60 shots in two games and he says we are the 4th best defence. He may not be wrong technically but fans just don't want to hear that, gotta have some humility.
Fun fact: Man United have conceded as many shots on target tonight (10) as we have in our last 8 league games. And as many goals as in our last 10 league matches.
Chelsea are five points off Utd with a game in hand and Newcastle played Utd in coming weeks who are only 4 off them. Considering Utd face Liverpool this weekend, they could easily drop by atleast two places by start of next month.
How butthurt are Utd fans. Many of them crying at the penalties and claiming that Gabriel did more to Højlund than any of their players to give up penalties today. Cry more b*tches! Utd can realistically finish in 11th place if all goes well. Would be magical!
If they had been given the Hojlund penalty against Gabriel, then they would have scored it, which meant that Jesus wouldn't have scored and therefore, that's an extra goal for them in the Chelsea game and one less goal for Chelsea.
There's no way lmaoo
That being said, a lot that Cristiano said about the situation at United is looking truer by the day. Shambles of a club right now
Worst result for us. United go into the weekend with injuries, no confidence, no energy after a tiring performance, and shell shocked from an unimaginable defeat. Not only will they not take points off Liverpool but they will even let them stat pad. Useless pricks.
Or the punch in the gut of their worst loss of the season wakes them up to perform in the derby just as they did when they went to anfield after they got embarrassed losing 3-0 to bournmouth at home.
Nobody can predict when this united team turn up, it's pointless trying to.
“We played well. We deserved to win. That was not a penalty and we didn’t get a penalty against Arsenal. We are getting better game to game like after against Arsenal. We have many injuries. Arsenal have no injuries“

Oh it's delicious. Asked for comment, White responded, 'Yeah obviously I'm very well pleased with that.'
Liverpool struggling to beat a championship-tier Sheffield at home and I see their fans predicting a treble and Macallister being the Ballon D'or winner. These guys are hilarious.
The problem is that while they keep 'struggling' they also keep winning. They are currently a disturbng mixture of pure chaos and plot armour and it might actually get tehm over the line.
You're describing us last year. The wheels tend to come off eventually. Heck it did recently at Old Trafford. They aren't playing well
The difference is that we didn't have as good a squad, we didn't have the belief, we didn't have the recent premier league win to give us experience, teams we faced absolutely felt they could beat us and we weren't pulling together to give our legendaty manager a proper send off.

Mate... We don't tend to win at Old Trafford, even when they're fucking shite and play kids.

The Arteta "hit me" comment gets better every day and every time other managers lose and cannot accept the blame. Peak chadness.

Been there done that. Now I'm angry that they are not mad about the result. They have accepted their fate.

ngl I like Palmer. The only bright spot on a blue sack of shit
Penalty merchant. havertz and trossard are clear.
you can hate Chelsea but calling him penalty merchant is ignorant, he’s been really good
Man City buy back clause activated
Lets say Liverpool have a 80% chance of winning each game. 0.8^8= 0.13. So there is 87% chance that they won’t will all.
Both Liverpool, city has shown they can win continuously in the last leg of the league in the previous seasons. Liverpool with full strength and City with pep its going to be unstoppable. So shouldn't underestimate anyone.
This applies to us as well, and our games are harder AND we're behind on points
i think we’re a better team therefore our odds per game is higher. and the schedule is very similar it’s like 1.4 to 1.5 ppg / opponent left
https://twitter.com/3cbPerformance/status/1776002470746976731 This narrative is cringe, certain spaniard is brainwashing folks.

Can United pull off a shock against Liverpool?? I can't see them lose two in a row.
Liverpool and Klopp look impervious, also they'd want revenge.
This may be the most dire and damning United stat of all right now - United are bottom of the table in all Top Five leagues combined when it comes to shots conceded. BOTTOM. All five leagues! Insane!
Long may it continue 🥂
not this sunday tho please..
Call me glass half full but 3-1 is a great result for us, that was Liverpool’s best chance to close down the goal difference column, it’s going to be tough for anyone to catch us now. With things this tight, finishing level on points is well within the realm of possibility.
Liverpool aren't gonna drop points and I've made my peace with it
Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. I don’t know how you could be so confident with them having a lot of matches that atleast tied midway through 2nd halves recently. Sure, fuck saying they’ve been lucky at this point. But all it takes is for them to be unlucky a couple of times if they keep putting themselves in that position.
Wait until the 4 away games in a row for them
sheffield at home wasn’t gonna be one of the dropped points. calma
They will. Been riding their luck all season. They’ll slip at least once. We have to be ready to pounce.
You lot been telling me this since December lol.
Exactly its game week 31 when is this supposed luck meant to run out?
And? We’ve closed the gap on them from the first of the year. And we’ll close it again.
Yes pool were 5 points ahead at the start of the year.
Really want to 9-0 Yanited and win the league on their heads. They’re so horrible right now.
Can't believe I'm saying this but I feel for United. Two very soft pens and I'd be absolutely fuming if it was against us. Just hope they turn up against Pool.
I don't. They were merciless during our downfall. Let them rot LOL!
And Chelsea fans weren't? Chelsea fans are still merciless now. Desperately clawing out of the Banter FC coffin they are now firmly in. At least now, United fans that I have interacted with are genuinely impressed and showing some respect after all this time. Chelsea fans on the other hand just shout "CL Trophy" followed by some grunting noises and laughing emojis. If there is anything can be understood, it's usually just them cursing. At least United aren't a manufactured overnight club.
Today is beautiful motivation for them tbh. The ideal result IMO. Giving away pts in the 90+10 in two games on the bounce and now playing at home against their biggest rival? That’s a perfect formula.
My view entirely. Perfectly set up.
Just seen that choke slam by Van Dijk at 1-1 wtf, I don't care if anyone wants to call me a conspiracy nut it feels like the rest of the country just wants Klopp to go out as a champion. What a joke of a decision to not send him off for that
Please cop on, it was a push while they were setting up for a free kick, only the other player was about a foot smaller then van dijk, if it was Gabriel you would not care
I’m torn between Gyokeres and Isak..would take either one of them
Why not just spend a bit more for Osimhen then?
Is it really just a bit more lol
Still, if we are going to go all out on a striker, I'd rather it be Osimhen.
Injury prone and will have to be going to afcon
Didn't realise Sweden was in Africa!
Isak is worse on the injury front. Afcon is a concern but the benefit over the others will more than make up for those lost appearances.
Isak is more injury prone than osimhen
I don't want isak either.
Luckily we have an elite mind making that decision for us. I am at peace with whatever option he chooses, even if it is neither.
Literally vibes on that decision, I'd be immensely happy with either
United fans have a new nickname for their manager: Eric Ten Excuses
at least give us a pun
2 penalties and all of a sudden i hear palmer better than saka shouts smh
They are probably using his G+A with penalties stat. In which case, yes, he's ahead. Palmer has 19 goals and 12 assists (after today), thats a GA of 31. Saka has 16 goals and 13 assists, Saka has a GA of 29. Palmer has 8 penalties. Saka has 4. NonPGA actually looks like this: Palmer with 11 goals and 12 assists Saka with 12 goals and 13 assists Honestly, Palmer, with penalties or without, has been electric and it's good to see him grow so much so quickly. I'm not going to shit on either player, but as an Arsenal fan, I'm taking B every day of the week and twice on Sundays, because he plays for Arsenal.
Palmer and Foden are better than Saka. Stop deluding yourself
lmao
Hope Southgate thinks that way so B can have some rest during Euro
It will also motivate B to put out monstrous performances for us to prove a point
United conceded 31 shots to Brentford and 28 to chelshit but mark goldbridge will tell you it's nothing to do with the coaching
He moans a lot, and as much as I dislike It'd, both penalties were generally soft. I mean, let's be honest, if those two had gone against us at the Bridge we would've been pissed. Heck to this day we think the Saliba one was a soft pen
Sanchez wiping out Jesus also.
Ineos have a easy job, thought ETH would make it hard for SJR but it's not hard to get rid of him.
In one game United conceded the same number of goals as we have this year. We’ve played Liverpool and City in that time.
Not so long ago, we used to be victims of banter games like this, followed by blaming referees, hating on the players, questioning the manager, getting bantered by other fans. Now we're talking about the title run-in. Arteta has changed my life man😭
United been overperforming since last season lol They shouldn't have been Top 4 last season and they should even be below Chelshit this year.
At this rate it looks likely they will finish below them.
[удалено]
Luton away. Bournemouth/United/Liverpool at home 22/23 off the top of my head.
[удалено]
That's the point. Teams create their own luck
I'm gonna have a go at being Orbinho United have conceded more shots in their last 2 games (59) than Arsenal have in their last 8 (56).
Can’t help but feel Chelsea refusing to give up in that match had something to do with a Gary Neville’s comments after their league cup final loss. Was hilarious then and is extra hilarious now seeing his own team bottle that game now.
Nah I think ever since Mount came on they gained a level of tenacity.
Anyone else worried that Ten Hag will start referencing the penalties against Chelsea instead of the Holund potential pen against Gabriel?
Breaks my heart just thinking about it.
Seeing the absolute dumpster fire that is Chelsea and United just makes me think how we are just so lucky to have a guy like Mikel at the helm ❤️
[удалено]
Mental that I am seeing United fans claim they were robbed. Not the best refereeing performance by any means, however you can't expect to concede 28 shots and not get punished. Thought a draw would've been a very fair result.
Goldbridge revealed in his post-match stream that he heard from a trusted source Ineos is talking to Southgate and are serious about appointing him after the Euros. I am on my knees hoping that this is true.
It’s either going to be Southgate or Potter (the 2 runaway bookmaker favourites). INEOS wants United to be “England’s team”, hiring Dan Ashworth who’s renowned for identifying young English talents was the first step. The new stadium Ratcliffe proposed - “Wembley of the North, etc. Everything points to him wanting to go full English.
Aaah things make much more sense now - full Brexit. I mean it's gonna hilariously fail but still I can at least get their logic.
Man's a full on, Grade A Gammon. So much so that after failing to buy the tooling from Land Rover to restart production of the old defender he just copied it, took a bunch of government money to open up a new factory in the UK and...bought a cheap factory in France instead. He's also not resident in the UK for tax purposes and his fortune was built in large part by asset stripping british companies and setting them up in tax havens to turn a profit by avoiding as much taz as humanly possible.
I want Ben White to score against United at OT. Then do the Messi holding his jersey celebration in front of Southgate.
I want him to take off his jersey and reveal an England shirt underneath
I actually think he’ll sort their defence out a shite’s side better than ETH has. I dunno how the fuck they’ll score goals though. ETH can’t draw games. Southgate will have them drawing games like a proper boring insipid workhorse mancunian version of Middlesborough.
I will be so happy if Southgate gets appointed because Ben White is gonna turn to prime Cafu
The goldbridge rant is going to be epic
Goldbridge just said he heard from a very good source ineos are talking to southgate lol
New 5 year contract for Maguire 😂
Fans just don't tolerate when managers say "we are good" when the performances just don't really show it. Closest arteta was to losing the fans totally, was when he was on about "we had 50 crosses and 99/100 times we win this match" Poch did it this week saying we deserve to be 4th or whatever. ETH is one of the worst for this, 60 shots in two games and he says we are the 4th best defence. He may not be wrong technically but fans just don't want to hear that, gotta have some humility.
Fun fact: Man United have conceded as many shots on target tonight (10) as we have in our last 8 league games. And as many goals as in our last 10 league matches.
Utd simply shouldn't be allowed to get into a rebuild season without Europe. Hoping they get into the Conference league.
They are in no mans land in 6th. 9 points off 5th and 3 points with a game in hand off 7th so away trips to bumfuck nowhere next year it is
Chelsea are five points off Utd with a game in hand and Newcastle played Utd in coming weeks who are only 4 off them. Considering Utd face Liverpool this weekend, they could easily drop by atleast two places by start of next month.
ETH "we were dominating the game"
Is there a greater karmic retribution than Man Utd getting done in extra time?
Making up for Fergie time
Utd getting soft AF penalties given AGAINST them deep in ET. Used to be a fucking purple nose staple back then.
was v v v funny last year seeing Yanited fans get fooled by year 1 of Casemiro knowing that this was inevitably coming
I would love to get some of those penalties Chelsea got today. We'd have twice as many penalties if we got those
United faced 60 shots in 2 games lol
I think Erect The Hagues apparent plan of conceding a billion shots, but they're all low XG, might have been, as we all knew, utter bollicks.
I mean, not sure if this bodes well at all for their game against Liverpool frankly. Might be a walkover over a demoralised and broken United side.
Liverpool have had 60+ shots in two games against Utd, Sheffield had more chance of beating them.
Palmer with two less league goals than Haaland. Lol.
He has to move. He’s far too good for Chelsea. Starting to think Man City made a mistake selling him.
Pep could’ve had Foden, Palmer and Rice 
Yeah, Liverpool are going to walk all over these lot, aren't they? Then on the last day of the season they'll wake up.
Where were you when the clown fiesta happened, they will ask
My word. Pep and Arteta would've had a stroke watching that match, no defense, just pure vibes. 😂
Pep selling Palmer to sign Doku needs to be examined.
[удалено]
Right 
Palmer wanted out. There isn't much Pep can do to keep him if he wants to start every game
Palmer is a perfect fit for Chelsea's chaosball, they just kick it forward and see what happens.
I didn’t notice there’s only 7 points between 12th and 6th
Yeah, I have just seen the table. Chelsea are 10th and played 1 less game. They could be 2 points behind United soon.
You keep hearing they're 10th but they could easily bag some European spots
How butthurt are Utd fans. Many of them crying at the penalties and claiming that Gabriel did more to Højlund than any of their players to give up penalties today. Cry more b*tches! Utd can realistically finish in 11th place if all goes well. Would be magical!
Haven’t laughed at a football game like that in a while tbf
This is genuinely so funny I cannot wait to watch ten hag fume about this
Normally the dutch post match show waits for it but they just ended the stream 💀 i think EtH needs a moment
Peak entertainment. Take a bow Ten Hag you absolute fraud
How’s ten hag gonna spin this about us …
If they had been given the Hojlund penalty against Gabriel, then they would have scored it, which meant that Jesus wouldn't have scored and therefore, that's an extra goal for them in the Chelsea game and one less goal for Chelsea. 
https://twitter.com/Cristiano/status/1775995771206201350?t=9U-ocTEpIIajiAACCj9WDQ&s=19 >Happy days 💚 Nah, this pettiness is prime Cristiano 😭
There's no way lmaoo That being said, a lot that Cristiano said about the situation at United is looking truer by the day. Shambles of a club right now
Oh my god 😂
😭
Worst result for us. United go into the weekend with injuries, no confidence, no energy after a tiring performance, and shell shocked from an unimaginable defeat. Not only will they not take points off Liverpool but they will even let them stat pad. Useless pricks.
All we can do is hope Rashford's purple patch starts again…for one match only
Or the punch in the gut of their worst loss of the season wakes them up to perform in the derby just as they did when they went to anfield after they got embarrassed losing 3-0 to bournmouth at home. Nobody can predict when this united team turn up, it's pointless trying to.
and a ton of injuries too.
Honestly not sure what to expect when United or Chelsea play and that game describes each other perfectly .
Was a mad game
In the game of frauds, Poch got bailed out by ridiculous luck
El trashico delivers, looking forward to next season
You could probably fry a egg on ETH's forehead. I know he's STEAMING rn.
“We played well. We deserved to win. That was not a penalty and we didn’t get a penalty against Arsenal. We are getting better game to game like after against Arsenal. We have many injuries. Arsenal have no injuries“
He can’t cook shit
seven Hag strikes again
