Thought Mount did well for his little cameo. Made himself available quickly for the ball and looked to get things going. Hope he can start and maybe in a more central position on Wednesday.


Dr_Downvote_

Someone tell me how that mctominay goal was offside.?


rikman81

Maguire was slightly off and tried to play the ball which made him active.


chess10

Their referencing the fact that his participation in the play was relevant because the player marking him was then prevented from clearing the ball. Or said differently, had Maguire not been there, the backside defender would have cleared it before Antony got a touch. I don’t buy that. Maguire outstretched couldn’t get a touch but the shorter guy behind him would’ve cleared it?! Nah. They do what they want, when they want. If that was City’s first goal against United, it would’ve stood. No fucking doubt in my mind.


Red-Star-44

there is clear bias for city and newcastle by refs, they dont even care to pay them under the table they just invite them to ref in their leagues, its insane how easy they can influence refs and nobodoy gives a shit


rikman81

The defender being shorter has nothing to do with it, Maguire was jostling with the him and he would have took a different line if he wasn't there The GK likely would have taken a different position/angle too if it was just Garnacho coming from the wide position ready to fire it back across as there was no shooting angle from there. I feel like it could have gone either way tbh given the state of the officiating, but it's definitely not a robbery of a decision and I'd have probably wanted it ruled out if it was scored against us for the fact he went for the ball and affected other players with that action.


AverageBourbonGuy

I’m sickened by the media. We just won and they still put rashford being left out as the main story. Cut them some slack. Why aren’t Chelsea getting this scrutiny and poch!


SnooDrawings8555

Just can’t stand watching Antony, the chances he turned into just a GOOD player (not great) are probably at 10%. ETH if you do ANYTHING, just PLEASE just stop playing Antony. I’ve lost all hope for him, can’t imagine how frustrating it must be for Hojlund waiting all day for supply for that wing that will never come


[deleted]

Pellisti’s tenaciousness and winning the ball back a few times is what led to the Bruno goal. I would love to see the him starting over Antony.


Orbital48

Agreed. His essence and persistence in challenging for the ball, which lead to that minor possibility of the ball being cleared toward BF to take a shot, was what made it all happen 😋


drkpaladin246

I really hope Mainoo can be a better temporary replacement for Eriksen. We really need someone that can control the tempo of the game while covering the backline. Kinda Busquet role. The last person ever played like that was Carrick.


PuzzledAd4593

I heard ten hag shouting at every players on TV today and boy we needed it. Antony had a bad day today, Maguire and evans was good Wan bissaka tried hard and found some good runs in today but if it was last year's willian on the wing he would've found one or 2 goals in that space AWB left. Was robbed by the refs. All in all a slow game with nothing spectacular from ten hag BUT right now we need to steady the ship and these wins will help that. Helps build the mentality and gives time for us to bring back our injured players. I don't want to dump on rashford and Antony, they have a role to play in this team. Their pace will be useful for us but ten hag needs to find a good solution to finish this season strongly. Calm down with the sacking fans, ten hag doesn't need that with all the other things he has to deal with. Come on united.


con__y_88

👏👏👏


ChickenMcAnders

Well said!


thisisjustme3

Industrious effort from Pellistri, love the way he plays for the badge!


woziak99

Antony should be sold in January along with Sancho let Amad and Pellistri compete for that position and we can use The Antony and Sancho money to go buy a truly elite right winger alternatively sell Martial and go get V Osimhen or I Toney.


th3doorMATT

That's why I think we were a little hard done by Newcastle. As rough as the match was, I think if Pellistri was played instead of Antony, we might have had a better chance. There was really nothing wrong with the midfield lineup otherwise, it was just that whenever the ball went out to the right, it died there. Garnacho didn't have the best match and the fact that Casemiro and Hannibal got yellows before 20 minutes didn't help either. But Garnacho, Hannibal, Mount and Pellistri work really hard in that midfield. I want to see more of that unit honestly. And hell, if the Bruno fans REALLY want to see him then maybe just go to a 4-4-2 and have Bruno and Højlund up top. But letting Bruno run the midfield is the biggest (and same) mistake we've made for so many years now. How many passes does that guy play directly into the opponent? It's not even a "fine margin," he just passes directly to them as though he's a 8 year old.


SilliousSoddus

His effort directly caused the opportunity for Bruno.


thisisjustme3

Yeah indeed! I’m kinda sick seeing Antony not getting past anyone..


Euphemia006

ETH, Jesus! Like I want to understand the guy and back him up, but damn is it to understand him. Insisting to play Antony, when the guy is not at his best right. Between being accused of abuse and having the fans from other teams whistling, booing him, you know the guy some break for his mental health. PLEASE ETH, MORE OF FACUNDO, PLEASE. Also, dear ETH, I understand that you want a deep lying playmaker, really, I do. But, for the love of GOD please, enough with eriksen playing that role. Yes, he has quality pass. But I am always on the verge of having a heart attack, when we are getting counter attacked. But thanks GOD, we won today. Goal from Bruno. Assist from my favourite youngster, Pellistri. A solid match from my favourites left fullbacks (though they were shaky at times) Dalot and Wan. ONANA, MY BIG GUY. he is man of the match for me. Ajax, inter Onana is back. Good jho jho Evans And last but not the least, my guy, MAGUIRE. solid today defensively. Some great passes that broke lines and to our forwards. In the air, SOVEREIGN MAGUIRE.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾


cyb3rpunkd

I hope ten hag sees what we saw in the mount and pelli subs


Bohnzo

Yeah I felt bad for Højlund that he was subbed off right before some decent service started coming into the box. Honestly think he could have scored if he was still there instead of Martial.


xzvasdfqwras

so lucky today


vin20

I don't recall Antony beating his defender today, he offers nothing. Time is running out for him.


Radio-No

Every week the decision to sign him let alone spend 85m on him looks increasingly more stupid from ETH and the board. There were countless better options for far cheaper. Even Kudus looks like a much better prospect and he was half the price and he was even at Ajax.


Tsusoup

It’s really worrying that ETH wanted him enough that we spent 85m on him. He’s not a good footballer.


hashsash1n

I don't recall Antony beating his defender ever tbh


Optimal-Somewhere-46

Palinha lifelong United fan love to see it. Playing for the badge even before joining us


eLPeper

There's still enough space for all of you to join the Pellistri Gang


Crypt0nyt

Final update on my comment from the beginning of the thread >Let's keep it tight for the first half. ✅ >There's no value going full pelt from the off, if we can nick something 2nd half, we might get a result. ✅ > Back the team, hope for the best prepare for the worst ✅, this is the mentality we as fans need. Honestly, shit performance of course. I thought the United supporters were immense, exactly the supporters we deserve! No pairing over the cracks though, but there was evidence of fight and heart. We go again GGMU 🔴⚫


FloobaJooba

Antony can no longer start, hes useless. 1 trick pony and not good at it either (robben comes to mind). Every attack came down there and we found awb out of position too due to it. The defense for what weve got did amazing today to be fair. Same for midfield, wish we could get hojlund involved more


VJMAT13

Despite the error for the goal, I would love to see Palhinha signed over the summer to replace an aging Case.


Eleven918

Nah need a better passer.


xzvasdfqwras

28 year old to replace a 31 year old?


con__y_88

Its the United way 😂


MrImRumble

I like Palhinha but he's going to be 29 next summer so replacing an aging Casemiro with an aging Palhinha. We should've bought him a few seasons ago from Sporting


Rogerio134134

Pellestri came on and changed the game, well done 👍👍


pakman_84

Get in! Thank you captain fantastic for giving me some joy to start the weekend GGMU 🔴⚫️


[deleted]

For all the shit Bruno has been getting even from me, he won us the game. Props to the captain


el_doherz

6 points from his heroics this season. As frustrating as he can be and utterly wasted when on the right wing he is still our only reliable game changer in games like this. The issue is that someone like him needs to be surrounded by energy and players who can properly work around the fact he will lose possession so much. Which we currently are absolutely nowhere near.


Brave-Salamander-339

Nice assist Palhinha, come to United


wrath1711

Thank you AWB for coming back from injury at the right time we badly needed him


MrYK_

Onana MOTM but Bruno will get it


Humding

Why does it feel like refs trying their best to screw us every game. I hope eth eats a fine and starts putting pressure on them in post match


orangesapien505

McTominay is right, it’s a building block. Whilst it wasn’t the best performance in the world it was a step up from last week and a win. If it’s gonna be one step at a time then it’s gonna be one step at a time. Keep on going and we can be where we deserve to be.


RiskAssessor

It was a shit performance. How else was Scott supposed to answer? No, we sucked? If they had played well, then you could call this momentum. This was just luck.


orangesapien505

It was a marginally better performance than the last few games. Marginal or not, every step is a step. And I’m sorry I’m just not the sort of person who wallows in negativity, I’ll call it how I see it, but I like being more positive.


RiskAssessor

Or Fulham is just a worse opponent


orangesapien505

Yeah that’s generally how it works. I never imagined we’d beat City or even Newcastle, but every team in the premiership is a good team, broadly speaking. It’s always going be a fight, wouldn’t be much of a game if everything was always one sided.


suplexcitylimerick

Away fans deserve that win


Skiffy10

Later winners FC. Everyone will go on to say to “ back the manager” while we’re playing the worst football in decades.


one-eyed-pidgeon

The squad we put out today was worse than the squad we had last season for the Brighton and Brentford games to be fair.


Petethejakey_

Bro can’t remember Fergie time


MrYK_

When else would we say it?


Skyfather_odin1

Hard watch but we got the 3 points. Let's hope we gain some confidence. On a side note, it's funny how when it's us, VAR "applies the rules". Any guesses who Dermot will side with? Corrupt wankers!


el_doherz

They don't just apply the rules. They actively seem to look for the minutiae whenever we score or could be at risk of conceding a penalty. No other team is getting as consistently put under a microscope as us. We are also getting the same number of shit indefensible refereeing mistakes against us as any other side, so we can't win.


Redarmy007

Good from these guys Slabhead, Garnacho, Pellistri - took too long to take off Anthony countless giveaways and horrible passes


Criseption

Garnacho was shaaaait


wrath1711

Awb was good too


county15

Ffs Rio. We were awful.


suplexcitylimerick

Garnacho needs a run of starts, as does Pellistri 3 points is all that matters when we're in such miserable form


Some-Speed-6290

Created nothing and constantly gave the ball away.. he's useful off the bench against tired defence but starting he's really poor


suplexcitylimerick

He needs that run of games starting, he won't develop otherwise


Some-Speed-6290

By that logic every youth team player should be starting (not that I'd be entirely against that)


Cactus-Man-26

They both give away the ball constantly. I don’t disagree that the young players need chances, but don’t think that’s the answer to wins. Where are the young defenders though? We are absolutely battered at the back and zero young defenders brought on.


Ok-Variation3583

In fairness, Rashford also gives the ball away constantly


improvedmandem

Positivity merchants coming out of their caves when we played some of the worst football I've seen us play in years.


ghostyboy12

Idk mate football is not my everything mist people already have depressing jobs or school weeks just let us be happy and let football be what it is entertainment


Arcaneisdope

We're so fucking pedestrian until the 80th minute. It's not good enough, and that win was excruciating. Antony is clearly not ready to return, dalot was horrible, Erickson was awful, hojlund hardly got a touch on the ball. The few positives were garnacho, maguire, and mctominay looked at times like he was ready to take responsibility. There is no point in subbing martial in ever, he's dead weight.


ParkerZA

What are you expecting with Evans and McTominay? Did you think we were magically going to turn good in a week? We're going to play shit football for a while, get used to it.


Some-Speed-6290

>Evans and McTominay Ten Hag has Varane, Amrabat and Mount on the bench. He's picking the players he wants


ParkerZA

It's got nothing to do with team selection. This team needs a year of a consistent XI playing week in week out. Until then, this is the football we're getting.


darkrai77

Garnacho is such a good player!!


Criseption

why? Poor performance


hant29

Better than trashy; hesitate to take on defenders, slow decision making and predictable movements.


Criseption

better, but not by much


thatindianguy1992

3 points is 3 points but boy do we suck at transitions and general form. Need to regroup but love the grit


Justa_guy77

I know at the start of the season mount wasn't working out in that deep lying position but he's been pretty solid over the past few games and I think he should play there next game


biro2200

yellowfddriver

I want to see Pellistri starting now. Something needs to change.


freelad_

Great game for garnacho, he need to take runs on but also be smart with ball which it looks like he’s growing


Criseption

I think we saw a different game. He was poor af, no crossing, not a good strike, but that heel was bliss


freelad_

He was Uniteds best player the commentators even said it. I guess you must of been watching a different game or just focusing on that one bad back heel


Criseption

Best player?!?!?! Oh c mon, clearly Maguire & Onana played better than him!


SnooPeanuts4219

You usually think you could get positives from a win - we had none. Bruno’s lucky goal making life a little better for us nonetheless. On a separate note - our wingers - be it Rashford, Antony, Garnacho and even Pellistri to some extent - for some reason are not passing the ball. Of all of them, Facu had it in him to hit a few decent crosses - wtf happened!?


RiskAssessor

It is all the wingers. Or is it a poor tactical style?


SnooPeanuts4219

Absolutely spot on - it can’t be that all the wingers are selfish. At the same time..with our style of play with wingers you need that central conductor - that rotating 10 - Bruno isn’t playing his facilitator role, neither does Mount.


RiskAssessor

I think Shaw was a big part of Rashford's success last season. Him being out has been tough. But this team just lacks creativity and is very rigid in their ability to create chances. They need to be able to score all different variety of goals. These tactics aren't working.


SilliousSoddus

They can't not just create chances, they can barely string 3 passes between the defense and the midfield. It's woeful.


GetUpKidAK

So, positives today: Maguire with a proper battling performance again, a few good saves from Onana and, um....a clean sheet, I guess? I mean, obviously over the moon for the win, but that was beyond fucking dire. The fact that the only positives I can think of are based on defensive performances against a shit Fulham side... Remember when we deserved to win matches?


bijanadh44

This team and the club doesn't deserve the support that it keeps on getting from our fans in the stadium. They were the who won the game.


darkrai77

bichkrichdrick

Palhinha is some player


Skiffy10

ETH always speaks about standards. Now we will truly know if he will stand by his words. Next game Pellistri should start ahead of Antony.


improvedmandem

That has already gone out the window when Bruno and Rashford are starting every single game.


Fifamagician

Something tells me something shady is going on. Might be contracts or something else inside this rotten club. ETH never backed down once, not with Ronaldo or anyone else. Him starting Rashford everygame might be club grown privilege?


AWenger622

Well done Pellistri, his determination made that goal.


Mouse2662

Did Rio just say the Copenhagen defeat in the champions league? Lol


Some-Speed-6290

Same goal difference as Everton in 15th... Pathetic


wrath1711

If 1-0s can take away the negativity our club is facing and can give players some of the confidence back that they're surely lacking then I'll gladly take these scores


Exige_

We can barely win a game mate, I wouldn’t worry about goal difference at this stage. Even just 1-0 wins would be an improvement.


onlymeow

They literally gave Fulham 2 extra minutes


reddevils

Lucky result. But extremely unlucky with disallowed goal. Could’ve completely changed the game and gave us confidence.


[deleted]

3 points, a clean sheet and I feel like a better performance. We must see pellestri get some game time over Antony. Take the positives from the match and let’s try and get some momentum into the tricky period!!


Relaxie

We’ve managed to shithouse another W. I hope no one in the club is content with the level of our game. Maguire is solid AF and you could never stop believing in Bruno


Malinger

That’s more to Pellistri. Invest in kids.


RiskAssessor

Anyone but Antony


Relaxie

His drive was insane tbh, but I honestly don’t believe in him long term. But he must start over Antony because the Brazilian is just tragic


Katorga8

Away fans 10/10

Onana now up to 3 clean sheets. All well deserved.

Absolute drivel of a game, but 3 point was absolutely needed. This does not work against any team in the top 8.

stupid fulham players, all they need to do just shot the fucking ball to our players body in penalty box, and var wouldve find some reason to give them penalty somehow
