terrible finish

 

[jape]

wow missed in empty net

 

[rolaholic]

damn united it was all good just a week ago
yall we're getting picked to go to the semis in the CL

By everyone but United fans it seems

But yea I can't get behind the Jose revisionism been seeing after the way he sabotaged the season for his own self interest. Things aren't pretty rn but the club's better off moving forward without him

Finishing 2nd, like 20 points back of the winner and tophyless in a year where all the top squads bar Citeh were worse wasn't that amazing to me and shows how far he's fallen off that he wants to talk it up as some huge achievement

 

[jape]

out of pure speculation i feel like things started going south when pogba started flirting with madrid
like the squad found out pogba was leaving

Nobody is trying to move up today

3-1 to Palace....really?!!!

 

[Armada]

Mustafi is a tragic defender

 

[josh4523]

3-1 to Palace....really?!!!

Torreira should have started, elneny and guendouzi gave up the ball every chance they got. No surprise, mustafi gifted the second goal to palace, I can't wait until he's gone, He can go for free

So glad I didn't get up early to take the train to watch this nonsense.

Not a penalty for me. Harsh for Cardiff. As great of a player Mo is, in recent memory in this current campaign, he's been going to ground far too easily in the box. Trying to draw penalties on soft challenges.

 

[Canadian Destroyer]

YOOO Milner’s celebration

Definitely a PK. He was held the entire time.

Lol, he had his arms all around him... what did he think was gonna happen???

Several people said that. I pulled like 7 receipts after the game.

Bruh most of the pundits on TV were saying it

So defenders are allowed to bear hug strikers in the box?

Yep, I was the loudest one on NT pushing the MU upset over Barca. So I'm ready to absorb the flak now for being wrong. United played a near-perfect first leg, the away goal was a shade unlucky. OGS's boys had their chances in the second leg too. Rash hit post. Finishing just wasn't here and Ash Young was a complete liability defensively.

 

[Thierry Henry]

That celebration by Milner

 

[champcruthik]

So defenders are allowed to bear hug strikers in the box?

OK, fair enough. So if Virgil did the same to say Hoilett in the box, you'd be granting a penalty just the same, correct.

Be honest, is that latter part of my post untrue? I can't recall Salah going to ground as easily last campaign compared to this season.

 

[macbk]

Yeah champcruthik I see where you're coming from with Salah this year drawing fouls, but that was a clear as day PK worthy.

OK, fair enough. So if Virgil did the same to say Hoilett in the box, you'd be granting a penalty just the same, correct.

Be honest, is that latter part of my post untrue? I can't recall Salah going to ground as easily last campaign compared to this season.

I'd say the same with Virgil and even further comment how unnecessary it would be for him to have held there considering he's a giant .

Yeah, it’s a PK no matter which way it goes.

No, you’re right. He has been known to flop in the box at times this season, but that was a PK.

 

[Bantz Lord T]

Wish Salah took the PK (which he earned) to pass Aguero and Auba in the Golden Boot race. Another important win for us today. Just need to keep hoping that someone can force City to drop points.
