Kind of players I like. We too get soft players.

he can still be both tough and make better decisions but it seems his first instinct is to run with the ball

Ellexy:
Imagine this game with Onana between the sticks

🌚🌚🌚

sure penalty cuz he'd have committed a foul

Coaching and tactics is an aspect of football that cant be overemphasised

From a defensive standpoint, It's weird that we seem to be more comfortable with a 2CB partnership, compared to 3ATB "community defending" that should even be more secure and solid.

With proper coaching this can be worked on. He has the toolset to become a very good player.

Massive 3 points. On to the next!

3 points from 3rd place

Carrick has done very well so far

huge win

dumbfounded by amad's performance today
everyone has off days but it seemed like the fluid positioning game plan for the front 3 was sub optimal for him

-Lord

he's hardly applied himself in games lately. something outside football is probably weighted on his mind.

3 crucial points. The front 3 are blowing hot and cold. Sesko has to be given a start sooner rather than later. Let's see how he handles the extra minutes and responsibility.

The way Šeško strikes the ball at goal really reminds me of Greenwood. Important 3 points

ChristineC:
Amad seen Sesko and decide to start running.
these guys just play lazy football on purpose.

Like I said several weeks ago, Amad’s levels has been dropping, especially concerning decision making and ambition. Maybe he’s getting complacent. A few weeks on the bench will cure him.

Looks like Carrick has given up on Ugarte as an option to strengthen the midfield when we're under pressure.

Man is auditioning for the full time managerial role..If na you, you no give up on Ugarte?

Hehe

I remember I mentioned this a few weeks ago

Jamiuokolaa:
If the idea is to bring in a DM to see out a game, Mazraoui might not be a bad idea.

Ugarte is a big liability to the team.

Carrick's gotta manage the available resources at his disposal.

I think his substitutions were spot on and timely

lol..

Arteta's satanic influence

"Composure and Understanding of the game"

Not sure the likes of Baleba fit into this criteria..lol

If Carrick is given the role on a permanent basis, It appears we would be looking to sign a deep-lying playmaker/interceptor in the Summer TW

How did this broda even miss this

See his flat foot

Who give a shit. He won us 3 points yesterday that's all that matters. Sesko goals have won us at least 6 points in 2026 alone despite not starting games.

Bombblacks:
Please simmer down. United all time 11 maybe and that's even debatable but Epl all time Giggs is nowhere near. Even Rooney would have a hard time making it let alone Giggs.

United all-time first eleven wey no contain Giggs, na incomplete first eleven.

Can you drop your epl all-time gala eleven make we cocompare, make we see that player that will bench Ryan Giggs?

The FA are sleeping on okada. If they don’t put a halt to this the EPL will soon be unwatchable.

Chido Obi scored 4 goals for the Under-21s this weekend. Starting to hit form. Trust the process.

Like I said it's not guaranteed. They are others that will pick Beckham over Giggs. Talent wise they are about similar level but peak Beckham edges it for me. Giggs has longevity going for him.

Lammens commanding his box and coming off his line to claim all those crosses and corners and actually holding on instead of punching or parrying them is the least I thought we would get from Onana.

Kept us alive long enough for Sesko to win us the game. A well deserved cleansheet at the end of that performance. We don finally find goalkeeper

The squad that's not good enough to finish top 10 is 3 points from 3rd. Amorim do us strong thing

God will punish Onana.. imagine him at that post .Players dt r not really popular normally do well here.Bruno is another example

Amorim was a spiritual nuclear weapon fashioned against this club..Despite his five defenders nonsense he had 2 CS in 20 games..

We might have actually challenged for the league this season at least if Amorim was sacked after the Grimsby game..

Think back to all the silly points we dropped to Everton at home, Tottenham away, Bournemouth at home etc. Well am just glad we will qualify for the champions league next season. More money to spend in the summer.

This is just crazy. Influenced by Tony Pulis and Mikel Arteta and adopted by David Moyes.
Senne Lammens said he isn't usually bothered by these kind of tactics but yesterday was the limit. He was being forced to defend corner kicks from inside his net because of the number of Everton players standing on his goal line and around him.
The English FA have to do something about this because it is getting ridiculous. Goalkeepers should be protected from such rough end tactics in their goal area.

Last week I watched a game where the players of an attacking team were running around the opposing goal keeper in circular motion to distract him while taking a corner kick. It needed to be seen to be believed. Totally preposterous.

I am so glad United were able to defend resolutely and come away with the three points and keep a clean sheet despite the Everton rough hand tactics.
Kudos to Jonathan Woodgate for instilling that defensive hard core into this team and Kudos to Senne Lammens. He has the potential to be a world class keeper that saves the team 10 points per season.
On to the next game against Creystal Palace at home on Sunday.
Let's go United!!!

Especially that of Sesko...Amad needs to up his game else he might lose out in the long run.

Not just the FA, it will be interesting to see if teams will adopt this style during the upcoming World Cup.

Afrodoc2, how long is Martinez going to be out?
