Lol, you people are very funny. Let me educate you. Playing against 10 men is even more frustrating than playing against the full 11. This is because The give you a low block defending and try to hit you on the counter. Scoring against them would be difficult. The fact that we were able to break them down so easily should be praised. Abeg give them their due when they deserve it.

How can playing against 10 men be more frustrating than against 11 men?

There's nothing frustrating about 11 professional players playing against 10. They are most likely going to win.

What determines the game is the tactics applied by the affected team, and which player was red carded.

A team with a red carded striker will play differently from a team with a red carded defender.

Let's not even talk about the sharp drop in morale for the affected team.

That aside, United played well yesterday

Burnley? Oga no dey expect impossibility.

TrebleChamp:
Fixed sir

JayKayMaybachz:
Not only are United the top scorers in the Premier League, they are the top scorers from open play. This category excludes counter attacks and penalties. It is time for the false narrative that United depend on these two routes to goal to die.

Leyqute, Afrodoc2 and others, do you guys share same sentiment?

patrickmuf:
As an aside, what changed yesterday?

Shaw and AWB suddenly learnt how to cross?

Or was it a case of better movement from our forwards?

Or was a tactical switch in our play?

I noticed that for every time the ball was in and around the Southampton box, we had at least 2-3 players lurking with intent...

I hope it isn't because of the red card overall because we played some scintillating attacking football yesterday...

ChristineC:
Shaw has created the most chances for defenders in the league.
I think he's created same as Bruno Fernandes for 2021.
our strikers have been a mess recently and it still showed even in the 9-0 game.

for Aaron wan Bissaka, his determination to improve his attacking side is a marvel.
I actually give him the most credit because he's neither a natural, nor has any tangible competition for the spot.

Lagos no be Uyo nah. Pep no be OG.

I see you receiving a big L this night, i hope it happens...

Oasis007:
Manchester United's 24-man Europa League squad: De Gea, Henderson, Grant, Bishop, Bailly, Jones, Lindelöf, Maguire, Shaw, Telles, Tuanzebe, Wan-Bissaka, Diallo, Fernandes, Fred, James, Mata Matić, McTominay, Pogba, Van de Beek, Cavani, Martial, Rashford

Illimitable:


He’s right, playing against 10 men can be frustrating.

If a team who initially wanted to attack and win a game of football is reduced to 10 men, you have forced their hands to park the bus.

If they are really good at Satanic football, the opposing team would be very frustrated. You wouldn’t want a team managed by Tony Pulis, Sean Dyche, Simeone or Mourinho to go a man down.

They would frustrate you till you give up trying to score against them.

izzou:


You just gave 4 examples of coaches that can turn a 10 man deficit around. There are hundreds of thousands of teams on earth.

You think Southampton didn't want to park bus yesterday? Until you park bus and collect 4 goals, that's when you know how confused the situation can be.

You can't tell me a 10 man team is more frustrating to beat than an 11 man team. That's not true

Even teams with 11 men that park bus, the opponent still finds a way to win, talk less of a 10 man team.

There are exceptions, yes I agree..but it's not more frustrating

Illimitable:


What about Romero?
