United will win still

Not what the doctor ordered that, the only good thing is it's early in the game, and will hopefully wake Man U from their slumbers.

United looking awful

They can't blame Olly for this.

Yea but which United?

My word, United look awful

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 8:12 pm

This has the early signs of a shocker from Man Utd.
Given the ball away under no pressure 6 or 7 times already.

They can only get better.

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 8:13 pm

No doubt as a German coach this new chap will be blaming the gruelling schedule for this.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 8:14 pm

Poor stuff from MU.

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 8:14 pm

Some comical play here

Newcastleclaret93 · Post by **Newcastleclaret93** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 8:16 pm

The tactics from United just look shocking.

A midfield 2 of Fred and mctomonay is just awful for a top 6 team

Burnley Ace · Post by **Burnley Ace** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 8:19 pm

Utd will be abject in defeat and then “have something to prove” on Thursday, if they don’t call it off for Covid!

We just need to wait for tactical genius Rangnick to work his magic.

Not winning any '50/50' balls, these gutless Salford wazzocks!

He's supposed to be famed for his organisational skills.

So far they look totally disorganised. Their midfield looks worse than ours.

He’s talked some absolute ******** since he’s been here.

Now Ronaldo is at it

It would be hilarious if it wasn't against Newcastle.

The one time I want United to win & they turn in to a pub side.

Ronaldo may lose his head here.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 8:36 pm

Crap from Manure again.

Let's be fair now, you don't get much for £80 million these days!

Wasn't Varane in the French team that won the World Cup?

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 8:40 pm

Offside or not, how crap are Manure at the back!

Yes as were Martial and Pogba.

United look terrified when St. Max runs at them.

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 8:42 pm

Do we know if Cornet will be fit if the game on 30th goes ahead against Man Utd?

Yes but it is against Newcastle, and it would typical of our season if Utd throw one in tonight, yet have a blinder against us in a few days.

Never seen United play this badly

Been watching Ronaldo’s body language, I don’t think he can believe how crap some of his team mates are!

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 8:51 pm

Awful 1st half from Manure.
Awful for us.

chekhov · Post by **chekhov** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 8:51 pm

They’re an absolute shower.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 8:52 pm

They can’t possibly be that bad again.

We can't expect every result to go for us, like they pretty much have been recently.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 8:54 pm

Callum Wilson gone off injured for Newcastle, that's a big loss for them.

The good news is it's only 1-0, and surely Man U can't be as bad 2nd half can they?

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 8:55 pm

Ronaldo looked every bit a 37 year old footballer struggling to keep up with the game during that half.

If Man U step up a bit Newcastle are there for the taking. Last 10 minutes Man U nearly got in 2 or 3 times. But all it takes is an ASM break to change things again. Wilson a big loss tho. Until they buy in about a weeks time...

Woodleyclaret · Post by **Woodleyclaret** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 8:58 pm

Another away win at United beckons
United are awful

Lowbankclaret · Post by **Lowbankclaret** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:01 pm

Let’s hope Man Utd are this **** on Thursday, hope they bounce back and win so it covers over the cracks, so we can have 3 points Thursday.

Hopefully Eddie will move the influential Joelinton to striker leaving Utd to dominate midfield and go on to win

The grin on the face of Carragher in the studio is as wide as I've ever seen it.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:04 pm

Just seen these stats on the beeb, there's still hope for it to turn around 2nd half.

Manchester United have won four of their last five Premier League matches against Newcastle when trailing at half-time.

Newcastle have dropped 17 points after leading this season, the most in the Premier League.

Manchester United have scored nine of their last 11 Premier League goals in the second half, including the last four.

Mbappe?

On evidence so far surely we can get something at Old Trafford if we stay solid. Tarks and Mee will be crucial.
