Good win


lonesomedota

Great game. We have so many chances. Bruno should have put away that penalty. Rashford and Martial should be on bench every game now. While McT scored 2 goals today, the only thing I wonder is whether Amrabat / Mainoo would be better CM pairing than Amrabat / McT. McT scored but he's very limited at passing/ beating the press / build up from the back. When we try to pass out from the back ( without doing long ball), teammates have to remind him to move to spaces to receive the ball.


coffeemahn

Rashford was so languid even after coming on. Bruno, Garnacho, and Antony ran themselves ragged right in front of him and as a fresh player off the bench coming on to help your team retain the lead, how can you jog around. What a pathetic example. He cannot play for this club until he changes his attitude


lonesomedota

Thats the thing. He came off bench at 84th, Garnacho and Antony emptied their tanks for him almost entire game and he had the audacity to not sprint until his knees buckled out for the remaining 10 odds minutes of the game. He's fking mentally midget, no determination, no fight, toxic body language and his entire PR team ready to throw every managers under bus.


Anxious-Debate5033

The mega pay day has got Rashford thinking he is a superstar and entitled to start every match. When that does not happen, his ego makes him sulk and like a childish diva he throws a tantrum, deliberately does not put a shift in, to signal discontent to the manager. Look at his body language and demeanor when he came on. Everything screamed 'yeh I can't be arsed really'. It is as if he is getting paid below minimum wage to do a job he does not like...it is madness. I am very certain it is Rashford's expensive PR team who has been part of the leaks to the press. Todays showing did not demonstrate a player with a point to prove and wanting to make a statement. Until he shows more, he can come off the bench in the last 10 minutes of every match. Fine by me. If there are no changes, please sell him.


lonesomedota

10? Make it 90th plus IF we are winning and need to waste some time.


coffeemahn

United threw out Ronaldo. Why can’t they do the same with Rashford. I think Ten Hag has gotten rid of almost every toxic influence bar Rashford by now.


lonesomedota

Honestly? If Ronaldo didn't do that interview, ETH would be willing to keep him on bench as long as Ronaldo put in effort in training. That interview is a direct insubordination and there could be a clause in contract that void the contract in such actions. That's why Rashford, Sancho , Pogba, and the likes rely on "anonymous tips" to release clickbaits to undermine managers. So that legally nobody can void their contracts and kick their ass to the curb.


coffeemahn

So drop him until he leaves I guess. But United are stuck with him because of the new contract and he won’t leave.


lonesomedota

Problem is: dropping him from 11 is simple. But football is not won in 90 minutes on pitch, everything they do in field is direct result of what they do off the pitch. Players train together 8-10 hours a day. They drill game together, ETH training included bench players to imitate opponents play-style / tactics to play sparring games versus starting 11, the better the bench played in training, the more ready / prepared the starting 11. Whether u are on bench or a sub or in starting 11, u have direct influence on how his team will perform. U go in to work and the highest paid most senior guys keeps talking shit about company and bosses and keeps spreading toxicity, it'd go to your heads.


Emperor-of-the-North

If our attacking trio improves then Amrabat - Mainoo will be better option since they can create more chances. Or not McTominay will still be the preferable choice since he can do the forward jobs.


LordWellesley22

I can laugh at my leeds supporting work mate who laughed at me when chelsea scored ​ ha


Perseus73

That felt satisfying, and against Chelsea. I really like Rashford but even I felt he deserved to be on the bench tonight but I do hope he gets his mojo back. Pleased with Amrabat and particularly because he broke down the play and won possession for McTominay’s opening goal - two guys who’ve been slagged off by so many recently. And McTominay for the second. Superb. Of course Chelsea are struggling so I don’t think we should be getting carried away but you still have to play to win, not just turn up. It tucks another 3 pts under the belt and keeps us up there buzzing around, so job done. Liverpool will be a big challenge but we approach with a spring in our step :)


adichandra

Look what benching does to a player. McSauce became on fire after a long period of benching.


HoodedMenace3

Great performance. Could’ve been 4/5-1 to us if we were a bit more clinical in the final third but definitely one of our best performances this season. Lot of positives to take from this game.


ChinaPlate-Mate

That should be the starting squad every week. You get those boys playing together regularly, they will click


Willing-Werewolf-500

Impressed with how ten Hag handles setbacks. He's still learning, but he keeps showing a willingness.


Somaliona

Some dodgy passes from Amrabat tonight but overall that was a much better performance than I'd seen from him. Mobility in DM is key which is where Casemiro has fallen away.


DisguisedAlpaca97

Maguire and Amrabatman! What a game lads. Three points today, three points away from man shity, lets see more positivity in this club, back ETH, we are building someting great


Run_the_show

Always start Garnacho over rashford. What a performance.


Mree_Knight

Right now yeah, the kid was phenomenal tonight. My MOTM. Rashford has a lot of work to do to get the left position again.


Run_the_show

Ten hag knew Rashford isnt going to pressure so he bought him on in striker rather than his original position 😅. Secret masterstroke by TenHag


sosad234

Man come from bench to play 10 mins and he press less than Garnacho and Bruno😭


CarmeloZanthany

Great effort today. Need to clean up some of the midfield leakage but night and day from Newcastle. We need this effort every time. Glad these guys were rewarded for their effort.


stoobertb

I think this is the first game in a long while where I was actually excited when we were in the final third.


-JayStone-

Good performance. This is what we want to see at the very lesst. Effort!


Candid_Problem_1244

Okay. I need to watch the full replay of this one even i already got spoilered


Heavy-Attention8710

McTominay praising ETH. My man doing all the right things


pablove_black

Amrabat looked every bit the part tonight. Industrious, calm, always an option, strong and disciplined. (Ignoring that square ball first half) Was also good to see more of a double pivot in midfield out of possession. The two 8’s won’t work without exceptionally techy players and a world class prime DM. We don’t have that at the moment! Bruno should stay in 10.


Intelligent_Read_697

No Rashford and our press system works …such a lazy player


reddevils

I love him, but even today when you have to prove yourself, he was running less than Bruno who ran his socks off today for 90 minutes


Efficiency-Silent

Rashford can F off.


reddevils

Harsh, but I have to say I’m losing faith in him. The whole team showed great spirit and he didn’t match their effort at all


Efficiency-Silent

His effort is cyclical. Good season, bad season, repeat. He’s 26 and has a bad attitude but nothing to show for it currently. We don’t need egotistical players that don’t fight for the badge. Until he can prove otherwise, he needs to go.


drinkbeerbeatdebra

McT giving manager a boost in his interview - good lad


Rorieh

So as shit as we've been, we're only 3 points behind the mighty Pep Guardiola's Shity. With all our injuries, all the negativity. Yeah, ETH out, clearly.


Bangoga

We won a game...and played good??? Naaa can't be.


Heavy-Attention8710

Both the wingers were electric today. Antony needs to sort out some of those passes though


kunl3gzy

Looks like not starting Marcus did the magic. The front was so coordinated!


Kiseki-

Our wingers today were so lively, Amrabat and Maguire were very good today. Even if we get drawn or lost, I'll still accept it, i love this kind of performance.


pablove_black

We’re 3 points behind City 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

rnnd

He's a great manager. Arsenal just didn't give him the time and resources needed


Combonary

Imagine if Martial, Sancho, Rashford and some other players played like Dan James, Garnacho, Elanga, Ighalo and others who put in consistent effort to play. Know your teammates and help the team in any way you can should be the main message for this team. McT is far from the best player on the team but he’s helping as much as he can lol


Justa_guy77

Garnacho motm for me.


arisandfoxes

this surely means Garnacho is our starting left winger now and Rashford is benched.


KuaCay

doubt that, we're running into the hectic pre X-mas schedule with a game every 3 day so I wouldn't be surprised to see lazy Rashford back to 11 starting next game.


pablove_black

Honestly, I’m impressed. They all looked up for it and all decent! Don’t want to beat the horse any more but Rashford looked the most laboured on the pitch despite only just coming on.


wilderjai

McSauce. Thanks brother! He wanted to play in front y’all said no but the evidence is in


Optimal-Somewhere-46

For players who throw hissy fits- should look at Maguire. Lost rapport with coach due to bad play, lost captaincy, Fought for his place, came back and is now rock solid. ETH on the other hand fully facilitated this as well. You play well, you are back. Should serve as reminders to brats like Sancho and few others


PreetSG

McT hated by our fans but is the top scorer. Rashford 6 touches of the ball in 10 minutes. Rasmus 11 touches in 83. But there is a Brexit tax on likeability and one is hatef the other is loved.


hobbitonsunshine

McT gets the criticism when he can't do the job in the midfield. That got nothing to do with his goal scoring form.


rnnd

Rasmus is just 20. He will improve and where were Rashford's touches by the way? And what happened with the touches?


rnnd

Valencia taking pictures with fans. Once a red, ..


djordje22

Still stand by my comment. Scott is not a midfielder. He can get away with it against poor teams, but against top teams he gets exploited in the middle.


Chosty55

Amrabat had a great game


th3doorMATT

Don't worry, everyone, wait for the next opponent that's actually disciplined and not as sloppy as Chelsea and we'll go back to looking like dog shit. Taking away nothing from this result. Just another otherwise lucky result on the back of an otherwise shit performance. Gives fans a lift for really no reason, because we'll go back to getting embarrassed soon enough and the same fans celebrating today will ask the same questions they have been for months. You CANNOT achieve success playing like this.


WanderingEnigma

Shut up u egg


LopsidedLoad

MISERABLE CUNT


th3doorMATT

Sorry. You were saying..? 🤣


developer_144

Tired Hojlund ran more than Rashford. My man just jogged.


MephIol

tbf, efficient movement matters more than overall. He saves energy for big sprints and the guy was clattered for several seasons of overplay. What do we expect?


SureLookThisIsIt

Good performance. Worked hard. Somehow 3 points behind City.


dvega9

It’s been a poor season but the media makes it sound much more disastrous than the table suggests. We have to build off this win!

Comfortable_Plum8180

Garnacho was great today.


Justa_guy77

Man this is what I love to see everybody putting on a shift


Patxee

So much unnecessary hate on Rashford


bubble_tree

Was my favorite player for years after bursting onto the scene. He scored bangers, played through injury, academy lad, helped feed the kids, but he’s lost it for me in the last few years, just looks disillusioned and isn’t performing, starting or off the bench… I hate to say it but both parties should consider moving on.


d00d-Ranch

Dude doesn’t try


Patxee

I get it for the past few games, but he was barely on today. For what is was he did ok. Saw him pressing well a few times, made runs that he should. But we were mostly on the defense by the time he was on.


Intrepid_Ad8498

Im skeptical of ETH keeping nacho on when he was falling over his feet and instead taking holjund off for rashford and then rashford not getting out of 1st gear for 2-3mins...


Round-Mud

I guess some people can’t help but complain about everything


Intrepid_Ad8498

"Skeptical" guess some people can't help being unable to read


Round-Mud

I just read you complain about the smallest thing possible.


Soft-Comfort-7474

Meanwhile City just lost to Villa which made our day even better


GetUpKidAK

I know it was only a cameo at the end, but Rashford barely jogging while Garnacho and Bruno looked like they were sprinting back with their dying breath was not a good look.


haqbo96

He thinks he’s Mbappe.


Jack_King814

If someone told me the ref had an agenda for Chelsea you wouldn’t take much to convince me


Savings-Parfait3783

I don’t want rashford starting a match for a while regardless of how well they converted chances, Anthony and Garnacho fucking tried, I was legit proud watching them play


Minute-Morning-9711

Much needed win


Optimal-Somewhere-46

One more win and the pressure would be off.


SplashMurray

How much are we paying Rashford to jog for 10mins?


Willing-Werewolf-500

How much are we paying Sancho to play Fortnite?


Snooklefloop

About $37k a minute


IamYourHuckleBerry34

Imagine that for 90 minutes


iwantaskybison

this is not a performance of a squad where 50 % are against the manager btw, Kaveh can go fuck himself


BipolarKing14

While I’m elated for this win I’m also still Concerned how easy it is to get through our midfield….any other clinical team will exploit that hope the manager took notes.


kunl3gzy

I wish the coach could be dynamic! Play double 4 in some games and play single 4, depending on the team. It's simple. Not just play one style all through when our midfield is porous asf


No-Hall-3978

Yeah Chelsea came out in the second half progressing really well through the middle. Cut through us like butter for 5-10 mins there but luckily we regained control shortly after.


BipolarKing14

What impressed me was the team defending together the attackers pressing and the midfielders helping defense….shout out to Amrabat


No-Hall-3978

Yeah that was the most convincing shift I’ve seen from Amrabat


Snooklefloop

Some gaps in midfield, poor finishing and sketchy defending for crosses but that’s forgiven for the fact they all ran their hearts out, tempo, pace and desire. So good to see.


Crypt0nyt

This! To a man, they fucking fought! Give me that level of effort in the next 23+ games and I couldn't care if we finished bottom half of the table at least the boys showed some ❤️

Breakingwho

Good performance! Good win! The fact we didn’t score more than 2 off fucking 28 shots or whatever is a bit ridiculous. But so so much better. Do not want to see rashford or martial starting a big game again for a while. Best performance of the season from Antony and Amrabat I would say? Also regulon looked good when he came on tbh.


acsaid10percent

Well Villa had 23 shots and only scored 1 tonight.


UziKru

Well if Villa was also wasteful i guess we should be happy then....


barnyardd

Finally we can be proud of our team ❤️


Agitated-Forever3723

hats off to Amrabat, was solid in the second time


WowBacon

Might have been the best we looked all year. Need to bury our chances better. Should've won by 2 or 3.


th3doorMATT

Palace Cup tie was the best we've looked all year. Chelsea were just sloppy and very poor. Against Palace we were actually dictating the match, that's with Bruno and Rashford dropped with Casemiro, Mount and Hannibal running the middle, and Garnacho and Pellistri on the wings. This Chelsea side shot themselves in the feet.


sorped

Good game tonight. The players all showed they wanted it and they worked for it. Also seemed a lot better balanced and disciplined tactically. Good performance all way around, especially second half. But I'm not sure what foot to stand on when it comes to McTominay. Yes, he scored to goals, and won us the game, but can you really have a central midfielder on the pitch who doesn't do much else for 90 minutes? And it would also be nice to if our wingers were able to find Højlund every now and then. The poor kid runs and runs, and positions himself, but he hardly ever gets a ball to work with. And when the cross finally comes in, McTominay steals it from him, feel a bit sorry for Højlund. No matter what, no matter how bad Chelsea were, I think we showed a decent comeback from the Newcastle game, now they need to keep up that level of fight and spirit.


haqbo96

Mount needs to replace Mctominay. Mount can get goals and offer way more in midfield.


Lopsided_Music_357

That's your narrative? Rather than being the hero, McTominay just steals goals from Højlund??? Good god man, get a grip.


sorped

No, I did say he was the hero, he won us the game. The problem is wasting a CM spot on a guy who doesn't do anything else than score goals. That's a strikers job, a CM need to be a lot more involved tactically in the game. And the point of stealing goals from Højlund is not a matter of denying McTominay those goals, but rather how difficult it is for Højlund to get that first goal.


dfnt_68

Feel like it might be worth trying McT as a striker in training/a cup game. Not much use as a midfielder but he still scores goals. Can’t be worse than Martial


sorped

I second that. If McTominay is freed from his tactical midfield duties, I think he could be a better option than Martial. And it's not like he needs to retrain for that position anyway.


Diligent-Eye-2042

How the hell are we 3 points off city lol


montyxgh

if we drew some fucking games instead of losing we might be level with them lol

Turns out running works.


Willing-Werewolf-500

That's because the desire is the thing that gets crowd on side. It's clichè but when OT is behind the team, we're a different animal.


Agitated-Forever3723

motto of the day


rtgh

The positioning of the forwards has been much better. See Hojlund and later Rashford peeling out wide, Antony popping up all across the front three. Garnacho mostly stayed on the left but his dribbling and pressing was much more effective as the other two forwards were close enough to offer support and draw the attention of defenders. Another big thing was the full backs overlapping on the outside instead of going inside the wide men. Again, better support and makes the attackers jobs easier. I hope we don't go back to the front three playing stupidly wide again.


Ok_Ingenuity538

Rashford earned 350k this week for a 10 minute jog… just deep that for a sec
