THE SUPER CLARETS vs Man U - Match Thread

We've been playing a back four already haven't we?

That first half has unlocked all the trauma from our premier league season under VK. I need to lie down in a dark room…

United well on top, but let's be honest they should be with the respective players on show. We've really struggled with their pace and movement up front. Looks like we're seeing the reaction from the Grimsby result too which is a bit unfortunate.

Still only a goal in it though, everything to play for

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Sat Aug 30, 2025 4:07 pm

United played like this against Arsenal btw. They absolutely whipped them but couldn't score.

Cunha going off has slowed them down a touch. Let's just hope that SP got his HT team talk right!

SP will definitely be earning his money if his team talk and changes can turn this around...

Lets hope he can instill some belief in them

We always do better when we attack the Stretford End.
Excellent second half incoming.

Possibly.

Hope to see Ramsay. Perhaps for Hannibal

Sometimes I think I’m watching a different game when I see hanibal playing as a number 10. 1 goal and hardly any assists as a number 10 in most games and Parker still carries it on in the Prem. mental

Absolutely. Parker is going to have to earn his wage today if we are to get anything out of this game.

We did for half an hour. Then he changed to the 5-4-1.

Perhaps not so much a poor performance by our lads, but a very good and much better than expected/hoped for one from Manure Knighted; they appear to have got their **** together today.

I think that is it. We have been up against it like the Alamo today.

2nd half, different, as they slow.

Mainoo for Mount

Tufty · Post by **Tufty** » Sat Aug 30, 2025 4:09 pm

I wouldn't be too critical. All things being equal this is how it should be. Multi-million pound world class players against a small town club that are hopeful of a result rather than expectant.

I was rather hoping we'd get United on an off day but it aint happening. They're playing well and stifling any opportunities we get in possession almost immediately. You can't be too harsh. Id take a 1-0 defeat at this stage and move on.

Steve wins FK. Can we score? Where's Flemming?

billyhamilton82 · Post by **billyhamilton82** » Sat Aug 30, 2025 4:11 pm

Big risk leaving it as the same 11

I assume it will be the usual 60 minute changes.

Lets hope we can stay in it and the lads improve

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Sat Aug 30, 2025 4:12 pm

Why isn’t that a deliberate back pass?

criminalclaret · Post by **criminalclaret** » Sat Aug 30, 2025 4:12 pm

Yes, and some even said he wasn't good enough for us!

Lino flagged for offside despite Anthony being clearly on.

Its the usual steep learning curve all promoted teams must go through when you start a season in the EPL.

This is our third succesive season in thePL where we can’t play the simplest of passes to a man in space. It’s a football on flat grass, cummon boys.

Lesley and Dubravka apart the rest have been terrible. I do not know what Hannibal is bringing to this team. Really poor performance. Got to be looking at a couple of subs at half time

Horses for courses, Hannibal is good when we are attacking, not so good when it's backs to the wall. We'd be better off with Laurent. Alternatively we change the flow of the game

Get in Lyle, please no var
