CombatClaret

By far the better side tonight but counts for nought if you don't take your chances. Leaves you open to a scrappy corner canceling it out.
Didn't feel the Millwall fans were that great until the equalizer, prior to that just occasional bouts of that horrible drone noise.

CombatClaret

I don't dispute he is "doing a job" for United, hold up play, running interference and increasingly defensive work. I don't think though there is a great Premier League goal scorer in there just waiting to get out. Last half hour today he was up front getting all the service he could wish for, 6 sho...

How many shots do you want at him Steve ?

For comparison, Weghorst had 6.

Getting all the service people said he needed and... nothing

Yes Weghorst been good again. Couple of United supporting mates liking him.

I still think some it is buyers' remorse.

Weghorst having a good game.

As a midfielder, yes.

Would like to see Southampton, Bournemouth & Leeds scrape survival on the grounds that I don't think they can get their house in order before we start playing them next season. So on that logic Everton, West Ham, Wolves to go down as they have a lot of financial clout. Strongest down, weakest stay f...

Watford will be happy, about a minute of the ball in play in the last ten.

CombatClaret

That's a VAR red.

CombatClaret

Watford knows only half of this will be added at the end. Try to get us down to 10 men on the way there

CombatClaret

I wonder if all the talk of records saw some lose their heads a bit, Watford looked to have one aim, spoil our party, break up the game, rattle us etc. Didn't have much threat themselves, until we gift them a goal.

CombatClaret

This board is so rattled tonight you'd think we were 17th

CombatClaret

Our nervousness at the back definitely stems from poor refereeing - he’s given none of our players any protection from most fouls and punished us on most. It’s no wonder we’re nervy I remember Watford played like this in August, very physical, breaking up the game, as happy to stop us from playing ...

CombatClaret

Muric might have saved that had he got back in his goal after his first screw up.

CombatClaret

I wonder if we've done some refinancing based on the high likelihood any new loans will be secured against Premier League income next season as opposed to parachute payments

CombatClaret

The idea that it's Weghorst's fault, because no one will pass to him, is ridiculous. What kind of team does he have to play in (in the Premier League) to be effective? We couldn't get a tune out of him, a resurgent United can't seem to get him firing. At what point will you consider maybe it's him ...

CombatClaret

But in many ways similar to our number 9, their primary role in the team isn’t to score goals. Our number 9s have plenty of assists. Weghorst got his first assist today when he dropped back to a 10 and Garnachoat played at No9. The 2 weeks before that all 3 United non-penalty goals come after he's ...

CombatClaret

Go back and read the post match thread of away to Brighton last season, and see what a player he potentially is. Dyche never used him, for whatever reason, and the Utd players aren't using him either. Or he's just not Premier League quality. He can bag goals against the B teams of Germany & Turkey ...

I wouldn't say decent, but the problem is definitely the team around him, and not him.

The best-united team in years are the problem? Before that we were.
What has this guy done to make people believe there's a Messi in there if it were not for the other 10 players on his team.

CombatClaret

United fans on Twitter saying problem the with Weghost is the service, the system and his team mates.
How has he convinced the world he is an amazing footballer, it's everything around him that lets him down.

CombatClaret

Best result would be Southampton go down as we go up and they're looking to offload players from their books.

Still, won't come cheap though as they can now see he could get them out of the Championship.

CombatClaret

Gut punch for Southampton.
10man Wolves take the lead.

The main thing that comes from all this is that more care should be taken in what is happening at a club ‘at the time’ as opposed to what’s happened over years.

It was funny watching them talk about it at noon with the floodlights on.

I can't believe they want to change society but have the audacity and hypocrisy to take part in it.

CombatClaret

Standard virtue signalling tripe. If they genuinely wanted a green weekend why were we not all travelling to our local derbies? Us at Norwich, Bristol at Preston, Cardiff at Hull, Sunderland at Millwall, that's just our division. The Prem saw London clubs on Merseyside, in Manchester and in the Nor...

It's about flogging a label to people with more money than sense. There's a lot of em around. It really depends on your needs.

You dont need brands you need layers - its all physics But for practical use in the real world, it's about materials, design and utility too. It's about diminishing returns at the end of the day, a jacket that 10 times the price is usually not 10 times "better". But if it's your profession or passi...

Maybe, but one of those brands offers low grade, high priced tat that diminishes their brand. Their top end stuff is fantastic quality. The low priced gear is poor and overpriced 100% agree. A shame the cheap fashion stuff really detracts from the quality gear you'd be happy to walk, climb, sail et...

You'd hope he's smart enough not to jump ship to the first mid-table perennial which finds itself in trouble. But if we absolutely tank he might be tempted, just to stay in the top tier.

'Not The Top 20' podcast pointed out a while ago that we've been overperforming our XG for a while so could see fewer goals in future as we revert to the mean. They also made the point we've scored so many excessive goals that scoring fewer would still see us winning games. Today seemed like an illu...

Much better test this. Sort of team we hopefully will be in an around and need to take points off next season.

If players need to make mistakes to learn from, I'd prefer it to be in the cup.

CombatClaret

I thought that was a good reality check. We stuck to our style of play & had moments, didn't get over run either, took some quality goals to sink us.

If it takes United at OT to make us look ordinary that's a good sign for a Championship campaign.
