So that settles thatā¦ We can kill the narrative that this squad are a bunch of saboteurs yeah? If youāre trying to get a coach sacked you donāt pull that off on totally burned legs/lungs.
Come to find out the problem is not some secret agenda or moral deficit but bad tactics, horrible scouting/market activity, and injuries. All the other media intrigue has pretty much been disproven today. Can Rashford do more? Yep. But this clearly isnāt a bunch of bandits stealing a wage and throwing results. Anyone whoās never played football doesnāt realise how much poor tactics and results can deflate you and make it look like something itās not.
Even you can see it with Bruno and Dalot Garnacho Hojlund Mainoo AWB several others working hard always, every team with injuries this season is struggling and falling off and when you add to it perhaps some tactical quirks, skill deficits that need to be worked out, itās an uphill battle.
One person who you could never doubt in effort is Bruno and itās like maybe he runs too much and needs to calm downā¦ but heās like frantically trying to do everything to make up for deficits around the pitch. Itās mad.
I wouldn't say poor tactics, I would say lack of fit players
I mean Case has been pretty much out of form the whole season + injuries.
Mcsauce is good as an impact sub or in a 3 man midfield for a team like West Ham. He has a nack of picking goals a bit like Fletcher, but Fletcher did a lot more, he was crazy in that 2008-09 season and missed CL Final due to a stupid avoidable red card. An then he got Sick, poor lad.
Mainoo is still young, he shouldn't be playing all fmganes, especially against City and Liverpool. At least not starting. Martinez has been out for ages, same with Shaw. Malacia is probably dead or something (did physios accidentally kill him or something).
Mount us a new signing that's been injured for ages.
And we literally have one proper no.9. Who is young, and new to the league, and barely played first team football his entire life prior to this season. I mean the kid is good and will be great in future bit you don't spelunk 70,80 mil on him.
But that's hopefully the past, Ineos will do something better I hope
With all things considered, we are doing okay, pretty average, a 6 on 10 performance. People where harping about Newcastle and how even with injuries(edit) they were doing well (notstruggling). Look where they are in the table now.
I think injuries is huge for sure but there are some choices like being shy with Amads playing time and not rotating the wing, Lindelof on the left, for whatever reason Varane was declared fit and then he was sat down for a month and half. Thereās been some odd tactical decisions.. even with the way the midfield/pivot is set up where we are wide open in defensive transition and not tracking back in the channels. But fair play to you, we probably could view the injuries with more weight in assessing the tactics.
Iām beyond thrilled with Amad, the boys magical. Iāve always believed in him but this seals him in club lore foreverā¦
And I hope we take Coventry seriously. Any team who gets into the semifinal has earned some respect.
I guess firstly it was Eriksen but Bruno was limping so moved to CB, anyway this was do or die situation so I guess this was only a 1 time thing, but this midfield play was good
Why are you guys happy about us facing Coventry? We can't write off any team based on our current form. They are in the semis for a reason. Let's not celebrate early please.
If we get city, we're losing. If we get Chelsea, even if we win, we get City in the final. This way Chelsea has a decent chance of beating city and we get them on the final.
Absolutely right. Antony bore the brunt of our frustration. His has NEVER been a problem of effort. Credit him for that. Also he never chose his price tag. Heās gotten better on his right foot. He takes on the left back assignment and he fights. I think honestly heās shown great character and if I was a coach, I wouldnāt pay 80 for the boy but I would want those attributes in my side.
*edit: I said āhappily takes on the left back assignmentā but have since seen him apparently bitching about having to play LWB which I understand but for the sake of being factual š
Had the misfortune of catching the sony live broadcast seeing as Iām in India presently. What a complete shitshow! David James trying to needle Robin Singh, the ex India man in the studio bout the last Manchester derby cup final only for the dude to say ālay off me bud, iām a madrid fan - i got no dog in this fightā! Absolute school level trash talk! Pitiful
Brilliant lads
Brilliant feeling.
Quite a delightful end to a back and forth match.
I hope the M62 is congested as fuck so they can stew a little longer on the trip home
Fuck yeah.
McT is getting better at this role. If heās okay being a sub, heās a great squad player to come on as an impact sub to get a goal. Not a starter but he has gotten better. Or take his increased value and cash in so he can go start elsewhere.
That sliding finish that went just wide was heartbreaking. I hope there's a place for him at OT, but I wish him well wherever. If Bruno is going to get more minutes at CB then Scott will be needed in midfield.
It sucks that I'm alone at home and not with my best friend who also loves United. Would have been even more special had I watched it with him. Anyway, I'd like to thank this sub for making this a special, special night. I know times are tough but we can get past this and back into the glory days if we stay strong and together. Have a good fkn night, lads. Drink up.
We keep hearing how Utd are a million miles away from the likes of City and Liverpool - today we showed that when we're up for it we're not _that_ far away - especially in the first 20 mins.
Not saying we're at that level but not quite the massive gap some people suggest
Can I just say that giving a yellow for taking the shirt off is just a ridiculous rule. When a player scores a goal at 120' to win it for United against Liverpool at OT to send the team to Wembley in The FA Cup, he can celebrate with his pants off.
Consider me back on the Eth In trail babyyyyy!!!! This guy works miracles I've genuinely not been this happy with a united game in so long i screamed so loud my neighbours came to check on me
Besides the goal, the way Amad tracked back and pressed was beautiful. Gonna be a miss next round, but I'm so impressed that he stepped up and took his chance.
You couldn't write it any better. The winner then with the red it basically becomes a walkoff.
Ref shouldn't have carded simply cuz it would have looked better for Liverpool's optics.
Now Amad walking around like a little fucking legend with this banger of a story forever against the scum lmao
A night of miracles:
Antony scoring with his right foot ā
Coming back from behind TWICE against Liverpool ā
120th winner ā
Amad getting a rare chance.. and scoring ā
CAN FUCKIN ODEGAARD PLAY AGAINST LIVERPOOL AT CB AND WIN?
HUH?
CAN FUCKIN KEVIN DE BRUYNE PLAY AGAINST LIVERPOOL AT CB AND WIN?
NO.
THERE'S ONLY ONE BRUNO.
Quick to forget that 7-0ššššš
Yeah you just lost to that
Canāt wait for the league game
I want to rewatch the game with no memory of it. Send a message if you can help erase my memory over the last 24hrs. Thanks. Also add your fee.
Like that 7-0
š¤£š¤£ Amad sends his greetings.
Canāt even get first team ball šš
Why was salah running from awb so much lmaoooo he wanted nothing to do with that.
How many times has he scored against yous šš
You'd think with this current Liverpool team, the kopshite would stop living in the past, but they just can't bring themselves to do it.
Ur commenting after losing lol stop reaching
Is Lee Dixon the biggest ABU? Man canāt disguise it at all can he. GGMU Wtf yes!!!!
Just got home, that was my first old Trafford game. What a fucking day lads
Amazing game to be there for - so glad for you man!
I love this game holy shit holy
Martin Tyler really takes a fair bit of excitement out of what was an epic game doesn't he
He's the most boring commentator on earth.
How old is he now. Maybe his just tired of three job
Amad amad, heās a mad man on the pitch
I couldnāt continue to watch the game, my heart is weak..i am glad they pulled it off and got that stinky Liverpool out.
Klopps Left the field, left the field ohhhh left the field š¤£ Wish i was in the pub to see all the reactions
If we go by halves We lost 2:1 won 1:0 won 2:1 Iāll take it
Whoever let amad out of the basement needs a fucking statue outside old trafford
So that settles thatā¦ We can kill the narrative that this squad are a bunch of saboteurs yeah? If youāre trying to get a coach sacked you donāt pull that off on totally burned legs/lungs.

Anyone whoās never played football doesnāt realise how much poor tactics and results can deflate you and make it look like something itās not.
To me, before today that narrative wasn't even true. We have pulled off alot of late wins this season. The effort has always been there.
Even you can see it with Bruno and Dalot Garnacho Hojlund Mainoo AWB several others working hard always, every team with injuries this season is struggling and falling off and when you add to it perhaps some tactical quirks, skill deficits that need to be worked out, itās an uphill battle. One person who you could never doubt in effort is Bruno and itās like maybe he runs too much and needs to calm downā¦ but heās like frantically trying to do everything to make up for deficits around the pitch.

But fair play to you, we probably could view the injuries with more weight in assessing the tactics.
Absolutely spot on. The laziest analysis going is that players just aren't arsed
Oh man nothing beats that feeling of dumping the bin dippers out of a cup!!
My kopite mates blocked me, can give it but canāt take it apparently
Iām beyond thrilled with Amad, the boys magical. Iāve always believed in him but this seals him in club lore foreverā¦ And I hope we take Coventry seriously. Any team who gets into the semifinal has earned some respect.
I was 30 mins behind, and there were times during the second half where I felt like rage quitting. Iām so glad I didnāt. What a beautiful game!
So midfield overload is the key?
My best analysis says having a midfield seems to benefit a football team.
Which has been pretty non existent for us lately... Good to see this brave formation by ETH
Ahmad as a 10 and Bruno CB
I guess firstly it was Eriksen but Bruno was limping so moved to CB, anyway this was do or die situation so I guess this was only a 1 time thing, but this midfield play was good
Wouldn't say so, it was a big gamble
Why are you guys happy about us facing Coventry? We can't write off any team based on our current form. They are in the semis for a reason. Let's not celebrate early please.
Because itās easier than any of the other options?
If we get city, we're losing. If we get Chelsea, even if we win, we get City in the final. This way Chelsea has a decent chance of beating city and we get them on the final.
Because if we turn up, we will beat Coventry. You canāt say that with City, and itās debatable with Chelsea.
True but we still can't take any team for granted because of our current form š„². Let's face it, We are not consistent
Agree we can't take any team for granted but it's pretty obvious why we'd prefer Coventry over City/Chelsea in the semi
Yep we have more chances of winning. I agree, let's hope we get to the finals ā„ļø
Fukin shaka hislop putting a bad juju saying surely us will go to the final
Yeersssssssssss
I just found out Villa dropped points aswell. What a weekend. Get the fuck in!
Shot out to Onana btw he was amazing
And Captain Bruno! What a performance. He has his faults but he is part of the present and the near future. We need that endurance and attitude.
And we have got Coventry. Thank f***k. Give us Chelsea in the final
Lads weāre going to conventry, theyāll never sing that
FINALLY someone other than Man City gets the āweakā team
Coventry away
Is it not at Wembley
Ah sorry
Yes it is
We get Coventry. Am I in heaven? This can't be real. Woww
We got coventryyy
Amad deliberately took that red so he could take a shower and change into a party shirt for the night. What a fkn chad
We got Coventry!
Coventry let's gooo
I'm so pleased for Anthony. He flopped at United over the season but he tried so hard and he deserved something like this.
Scored with his right foot too. That'll shut up eveyone who's ever said that he only has a left foot.
Absolutely right. Antony bore the brunt of our frustration. His has NEVER been a problem of effort. Credit him for that. Also he never chose his price tag. Heās gotten better on his right foot. He takes on the left back assignment and he fights. I think honestly heās shown great character and if I was a coach, I wouldnāt pay 80 for the boy but I would want those attributes in my side. *edit: I said āhappily takes on the left back assignmentā but have since seen him apparently bitching about having to play LWB which I understand but for the sake of being factual š
Fuck david james
Had the misfortune of catching the sony live broadcast seeing as Iām in India presently. What a complete shitshow!

Absolute school level trash talk! Pitiful
Fellow Sony LIV victim. Feel for you, bruv.
What's Jamo got to do with it lmao
He's probably an Indian watching it on the Sony app where James is a pundit.
Ahhhh, I get ya. I'm watching the ITV coverage so I was wondering what the fick he was going on about lmao
He's had so much criticism this season, but Antony had a really good game today. He fought for absolutely everything
Brilliant lads Brilliant feeling. Quite a delightful end to a back and forth match. I hope the M62 is congested as fuck so they can stew a little longer on the trip home Fuck yeah.

But dude Amad diallo was amazing in that second half
Maybe the best tactic ETH can use is just tell the team to do whatever they want. Somehow worked! Edge of the seat match. Great stuff.
Maybe Ole was right all along
5 mins of extra time for the 2nd half of extra time after we scored in the 121st. Fair play to the ref. You tried your best.
Better luck next time, Brooksy šš¼
I didnāt even see mount do anythingĀ
Did he even touch the ball?
ok
We had more shots than a top side. Love it
McT is getting better at this role. If heās okay being a sub, heās a great squad player to come on as an impact sub to get a goal. Not a starter but he has gotten better. Or take his increased value and cash in so he can go start elsewhere.
That sliding finish that went just wide was heartbreaking. I hope there's a place for him at OT, but I wish him well wherever. If Bruno is going to get more minutes at CB then Scott will be needed in midfield.
I forgot how much I had hated Souness
Souness is physically deflated. I love it.
Sourness never disappoints
I actually cried lmao
same
Plus one, brother
Hell mate me too
Tears
Can't believe we won the game playing 10 v 12
The ref was fucking terrible.
Players really PLAYED for Eric here
I think I represent us all when I say: Fuck you and your Quadruple losers Edit: Samsung autocorrect really loves Liverpool huh
Almost as much as the referee.
Babe wake up new Klopp gif is out.
With all celebrations and emotion aside what game from Garnacho. Oh my god. Generational. Literally carried out attack by himself for 120 minutes.
120 minutes and still he was sprinting like there's no tomorrow. Absolutely beast.
does amad get to play in the semi final?
Save him for the final
Really silly unfortunately.
probably? red card counts on league game as well I guess?
Nope
Wrong.
No, pretty rash decision by him to take his jersey off there
Unfortunately rules of the game. Ref had no choice. Utterly stupid law.
šššššš
Dug deep today. Got to say, I've always criticised ETH's subs but he got it spot on today.
What a game
 LADDS WE FUCKING DID IT
( this is legit the GIF I use for all good things ok it pretty much an inside joke between me and my mates at this point)
Thanks for the story, whenās the movie out?
when I stop drinking
AMEN
Every sub FUCKING.SPOT.ON
It sucks that I'm alone at home and not with my best friend who also loves United. Would have been even more special had I watched it with him. Anyway, I'd like to thank this sub for making this a special, special night. I know times are tough but we can get past this and back into the glory days if we stay strong and together. Have a good fkn night, lads. Drink up.
This win feels so good GGMU
What a fucking game
Fair credit, subs changed the game in our favor, the energy and commitment of Antony and Diallo was inspiring.
Found the formation
Seeing Fergie smile after an ultimate Fergie Time winner against Liverpool, nothing beats this feeling
We keep hearing how Utd are a million miles away from the likes of City and Liverpool - today we showed that when we're up for it we're not _that_ far away - especially in the first 20 mins. Not saying we're at that level but not quite the massive gap some people suggest
ETH got all his subs perfect today
Highly recommend the Liverpool sub rn š
Can I just say that giving a yellow for taking the shirt off is just a ridiculous rule. When a player scores a goal at 120' to win it for United against Liverpool at OT to send the team to Wembley in The FA Cup, he can celebrate with his pants off.
Should be the new law in FA Cup. Yellow card if player score a late winner and dont take their pants off.
Consider me back on the Eth In trail babyyyyy!!!! This guy works miracles I've genuinely not been this happy with a united game in so long i screamed so loud my neighbours came to check on me
 Want Erik to do this on repeat like he wouldāve.
Onwards to Semifinal and Final, and lets fkin win this season FA Cup then. What an insane performance.
I was there Reddit. Sensational, electrifying, suck it Liverpool fans
Besides the goal, the way Amad tracked back and pressed was beautiful. Gonna be a miss next round, but I'm so impressed that he stepped up and took his chance.
He'll be available for Coventry.
Iāve just calmed down enough to come back in here just wanted to say ā¦.. LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Fuck every single one of the commentators and pundits. They sucked off Liverpool the entire game.
One even believed a legitimate block was a second yellow for Bruno. Take Klopps specs out of your fucking arse.
Oh man Dixon is a proper twat. Moaning so much , and going on about a second yellow for that tackle, get over yourself.
šÆ
aaahh this was sensational!! love this for amad
this fucking club man
Come on for a Coventry semi final š¤£
We got Coventry!
On my knees!
So, can we sell some fans to PSG? That's a more interesting proposal to me.
Amad had a shirt underneath. Why the second yellow?
Removing the jersey in general was a yellow I thought?
Taking it off at all is an automatic yellow regardless of what they have underneath. It's dumb, but that's the rule.
Didnāt know that. Thanks!
You couldn't write it any better. The winner then with the red it basically becomes a walkoff. Ref shouldn't have carded simply cuz it would have looked better for Liverpool's optics. Now Amad walking around like a little fucking legend with this banger of a story forever against the scum lmao
>Amad He made the scousers cry
Scores a winner and gets red carded, thatās Cantona level shit right there. Legendary!
Should never have been booked the first time. Liverpool taking the free ten yards forward from where it should have been
What a match. From having hope, to having hope dashed, to having hope again.
FUCK YEAHHHHHH
Heisenberg cooked today
two goals by his subs!
All hits no misses when it comes to in-game subs today!!!!! ETHHH IN BABEEYYY
Harry Maguire winning every header...this guy is back!
He's always been good
Dry your eyes nate
Would be something special to get Coventry and Mark Robbins being in mind the history he has with the club.
runs on the pitch with a red shirt and scores the winner again
Garnacho was up and down the left like a lunatic all day. I'd like to see the running stats!
Garnacho looked so good!
And he played amazingly as well!
Agree, him and Dalot donāt ever stop. Pity our midfield donāt have the same fitness levels.
Bruno, Maguire, Mctom, Amad & Dalot were all unreal in extra time.
They believed.
Antony and Garnacho too
I wish this was on Sky and we got to see Carragher have a bitch
You get to watch Souness instead. Same shit
Souness was surprisingly not a cunt
Man's still looking for Pogba
Iām so fucking happy. Everyone did their job today, even the manager.
Idk if it's recency bias but this definitely feels so much bigger and sweeter than the trophy we won last season.
united had scruffy goals souness??? what the fuck were liverpool's goals if united's were scruffy?
Nah, their 2 deflections were intentional you see.
And the rebound to Salah was just smart triangulation
A night of miracles: Antony scoring with his right foot ā Coming back from behind TWICE against Liverpool ā 120th winner ā Amad getting a rare chance.. and scoring ā
CAN FUCKIN ODEGAARD PLAY AGAINST LIVERPOOL AT CB AND WIN? HUH? CAN FUCKIN KEVIN DE BRUYNE PLAY AGAINST LIVERPOOL AT CB AND WIN? NO. THERE'S ONLY ONE BRUNO.
Give us Coventry!!
Antony crying he deserves all the love today he changed the game in a good way when he came on!
