Man Utd v the Clarets - match thread

We did okay going forwards, but unusually we looked shaky at the back. Good job Ronaldo and United missed a few good chances.

We should be five down. Ronaldo has missed two sitters

And we have therefore equally missed 2

Mee giving United a helping toe ready for his move to the Toon.

Which 2? Ronaldo was literally one on one with the keeper.

Why do you troll so much? It’s not clever, we can all see right through it and it devalues this forum.

Just because I’m not kissing Dyches arse after we get pummelled weak in weak out

Just take the hint pal.

Zlatan · Post by **Zlatan** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:13 pm

I’m actually pleased with the performance.

1st goal was slightly deflected
2nd was own goal and unlucky
3rd was again pure luck that the ball came back to Ronaldo (Cavanni was offside had it dropped to him instead)

And Lennon found that goal from nowhere and we’ve had some good opportunities. Feeling positive for the rest of the season if we can just eliminate the fine margins against and find them for us

Pummeled. How many draws? I'm not saying it's great but you and a couple of others ruin this site. You may think it's smart or clever, I really don't know. What I do know is that it's just not interesting or amusing.

Yeah you’re right. Attacking lineup of Ronaldo, Cavani, Greenwood and Sancho could possibly be a factor…

Get Collins on in a back 3 ( Cork off) Give full backs license to get forward. United look weak at the back. Get an early goal and who knows. There again concede first and it could be any score

We've also missed a couple of chances of our own. 3-1 and we're still in it. If we can keep it tight and nick another...

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:17 pm

I feel we deserve to be level at half time but we have had typical (of this season) doziness at both ends. That Wood header, defensive collisions, poor blocks etc.

We’ve played well on the whole but that is our season in a nutshell. Big effort second half and miracles can happen.

You were literally implying the referees were saying United were onside and ours was offside. They literally use technology there’s no bias.

Until we get a centre forward and centre midfielder with pace we'll continue to struggle.

Pummelled? if we lose tonight we'll have lost 3 in 11, at both Manchester clubs and Newcastle, now the latter I admit was a poor display, but we're hardly getting pummelled every week, and we are still only 1 win away from climbing out of the relegation zone, so hardly a disaster as you and others keep making out.

We could have done better with their first goal, but the second two where more unfortunate than outright gifts. The second one was deflected off the foot of Mee and the third was deflected off the post. Bad luck elements in both. However, they did fluff some good chances ( as did we ).

Not great, but not bad and the score line is a touch flattering for Man Utd.

Enjoyed the goal by Lennon, very clever and very well taken.
