    How was Rashford pre red card? Was it worth having him play on the opposite wing to put Garnacho on the left?

      I think the reason they played Rashford on the right, was because Elias Jelert is actually a right back, and he’s been a little uncomfortable on the left recently. So I think they gained quite an advantage putting Rashford on him.

        Ah that’s makes sense, so it was a situational kind of thing. Gutsy performance from you guys, good luck against Bayern.

    Even Michael Laudrup on Danish television says VAR got it wrong tonight with the red card and both pens.

    I wish I could be as terrible at my job as Ten Hag and still not get the sack. Man is living the dream

    Gonna need therapy soon with all this shit lol

    Is it me or is the handball rule just dogshit now just kick a ball at the players hand then it’s a pen lol, but I suppose it’s more clearer than the PL handball rule

    First time this season I’ve seen rashford aggressively track back to try & retain the ball & Yet another bullshit red, I’ve seen more red card worthy tackles given as yellows in the last 2 weeks then we get this awful officiating no wonder there lookin for refs lmao

    Dalot was doing well then went to sleep again he’s done that a few times this season

    Awb as always recovered/saved us at the back probably our best player today

    Hojlund finally got service & got 2 hopefully he starts getting service in the league now too

    All in all, we should aim for europa, we ain’t good enough for CL atm

    Spending 60mil on mount instead of a cb has fucked us in def & won’t be surprised if he goes next summer as there’s no way he starts over fernandes

      Is that what fans mean when they keep saying Hojlund needs “service” to score goals? He scored 2 tap ins that were on the goal line with no keeper in sight, is THAT what it takes for him to score goals?

      I agree with all your points except the red, it’s a clear red according to the rules. Rashford looks at the player and then studs first stamps him high on the leg, without ball between. Clearly a red card all day long.

        So what should Rashford do to defend the ball in order to not get a red then, not much he could’ve done

      well Ronaldo probably had some mental problems after his kid died, and we know ETH will look the other way at rape, but mental poor health is just too much.

    This is ipad football. Games are decided by VAR screens. They broke the best sport ever invented. No common sense in Refs anymore. Nobody likes these handball rules. Nobody likes yellow card after every little challenge. Just let the boys play the game.

    ETH needs to get rid of CR7 asap. He is simply not good enough anymore for United.

        CR7 who could score against Bayern, Barcelona, etc. Yes. Turns out sometimes you score, sometimes you don’t.

        Kind of like yourself, sometimes you say dumb shit, other times… well nevermind.

    ETH not reacting to the red card AT ALL in the first half was baffling. Eriksen for amrabat should have been an obvious substitution as soon as rashford was shown red.

    2-0 up against fucking copenhagen, any decent CL side would have easily been able to see that out in a 4-4-1 parked bus.

    ETH was terribly slow to react and that resulted in United conceding their lead for 2-2 before half time.
