Man Utd (Away) FA Cup - 6/1/23

[Palfy]

Get in great play

[dunlopp9987]

This team makes absolutely no sense. I'm so confused how we can turn up like this and against City and then the Brighton game. 

Offsides

[badaids]

Ninja goal

[Bailey]

Offside! 

Sums up Gray. No need.

[Btay]

Let’s fucking go lads. Just get the ball to gray.

Huge energy from Coleman there as well

Bollocks

[RuffRob]

Use the momentum and get at them .

[badaids]

Only just turned on, how have we been playing?

Offsides

We have been played off the park?

Difference is United haven't taken their chances whereas Brighton did. 

[Palfy]

Gordon needs to sort his barnet out, the last time I saw hair like that was on Bonnie Tyler in the late 70s

[badaids]

What has Gordon done to his hair now?

Looks like a K-pop star.

He looks like my mums chainsmoking mate Kath who just separated from her hubby and doesn’t look that bothered about it.

An inform United away, is a tough game.

I don't think we have been played off the park any more than what you might expect in this fixture.

Being played off the park by Brighton at home it is rightly not acceptable.

[badaids]

Only seen the last 30 minutes but we’ve looked okay.  Even McNeil hasn’t looked complete toss, and has looked like he can dribble and beat a man.

[badaids]

That was deffo a corner.

[Bailey]

What is he doing?

[Bailey]

Onana, Gray and Pickford did well. The rest were shite.

[Btay]

Well that’s that. Fine margins on the DCL goal. We get that and I think we go on here.

Disappointing but optimistic with the fight shown.

Hope Iwobi is okay though, looked bad though 

[Haiku]

Godfrey was good until the last minute fuck up.

I thought Doucoure came on did well. 

[Palfy]

We need to play with that intensity against the Saints and we should walk away with all 3 points. 

[Zoo 2.0]

That wasn't too bad IMO, not the absolute AIDS that we've been used to this season. Never a penalty at the end either, laughable call from the official. 

I'm just worried this will be Lampard's last game. Until the board fuck off no manager of Everton should be going anywhere, hope the protest at Old Trafford gets some traction - we need it.

[Bailey]

Did we play with intensity or did it just looked like we did because we had space on the counter attack?

They were controlling the ball, popping it around and so many times despite having at least an extra man, they had time to control the ball and advance. 

When we play Southampton, they will let us have the ball, we will have to try and break them down and the pace in our attack will drop and they will try and counter attack on us instead.

[Romey 1878]

I think we played a lot better tonight and that was important. It was all about performance, rather than the result. Going out probably helps us in all honesty, but it was absolutely vital that we didn’t stink the place out. We even managed to play some decent football to add to a grittier showing.

Next time it’s more about the result, so let’s build on a performance for a change and not let it go to waste like we did after the City game.

We played with a lot more effort and intensity than we have recently. 
They didn’t play us off the park at all Bailey. 
We had the ball in the last third four times as much as we usually do, and actually got the ball across into the box. We just don’t have their quality. Reducing a very good side to so few chances on goal at their home ground isn’t that bad. 
 

100% agree, once we have the ball we struggle. But I can’t knock them for effort tonight. They did all I wanted tonight, had a go.

[Shukes]

Players got a good reception from the fans at the end though. Was great to see the support this club has.

Fans aren’t stupid, they just ask for effort. We all know the quality isn’t there right now but if we fight like that I genuinely believe we can get ourselves up the table. Even though it’s a loss, I wouldn’t sack Frank after that.

We looked so much better DCL on, we simply cannot play this 532 with no presence up front. DCL and then simms for 30 mins to be a presence with Gray, Gordon even Maupay sharing the other role. Only option forward from here.

Once DCL & Godfrey get some games behind them we will look better.

Doucs was actually okay when he came on for Iwobi & we are going to need him back to his best in midfield chipping in with goals.

[Ger]

Can't ask for more from the team tonight. Much better performance than way to City. If the team play like this for the rest of the season there's no way we're going down. Gutted we're out of the FA cup but taking a lot of positives. Goodison Park faithful, lets get behind them like we did against Chelsea last May, be the 12th man.
