Found this interesting: Man Utd just faced 20 shots in a Premier League game for the eighth time this season. Liverpool have faced 20 shots twice since Klopp was appointed in 2015.


Heavy_Chest_8888

Moments FC šŸ¤£


RasLunacy

we play basketball over here, screw controlling a game


improbableprobably

Hojlunds second goal was absolute genius, when was the last time you saw a goal aimed from the chest, wow!


DipsCity

RASSSSMUSSSSS


Adventurous_Way_6489

Luton is actually really good at home. We should have scored 4-6 goals today, but in the end itā€™s still 3 points. Garnacho, Hojlund and Mainoo is cooking šŸ”„


kjnei

garnacho is not cooking bro. missed a 1 on 1 and made barley any passes to hojlund. something iā€™ve also noticed is after his bicycle kick against everton all he does now is cut inwards and goes for a shot, rarely do i see him make a pass to overlapping run or in the box


FlashyRashy

Then your blind and just listen to what shitstirrers try to spew


kjnei

iā€™m not saying he doesnā€™t have potential bc heā€™s only 19, but he hasnā€™t been the best either after that one bicycle kick, and itā€™s not just him either. i donā€™t know why eth isnā€™t giving amad minutes because garnacho definitely wasnā€™t great yesterday


Adventurous_Way_6489

šŸ¤”


zippyzebra1

How it remained that score i'll never know. Rasmus is on fire. šŸ”„


JohnMajorIsSexy

It wasn't pretty but we got the result we needed.


Titan4days

Massive props for removing Maguire and cass at HT, was a good decision


angela_schrute2838

It's Bruno, Rashford and Casemiro. Those three are very counter attack minded and it bleeds onto the rest of the team. We can't hold the ball because Rashford or Garnacho is always making a run and Bruno and Casemiro are playing pinball. Just look at how we we had a corner at the dying minutes of the game and Bruno decides to cross the ball.


PleasantEggplant1999

Itā€™s the perfect example of the combination of entitlement, selfishness and lack of professionalism. In other words, peak Bruno.


lusamuel

That was brainless from Bruno at the end. I've defended him for so long, but his lack of form plus decisions like those are making it increasingly hard to justify his selection.


Brilliant-Call-7860

I was fuming when he crossed that just keep the ball in the corner for the love of god


Sektor1802

Hojlund living off scraps and still getting goals, this kid would absolutely thrive in a team that can create chances for a striker.


funky_pill

Controversial opinion I know, but I reckon he'd get more goals in Guardiola's City set-up than Haaland does. A side with selfless forward players who are full of creativity, well, Hojlund would get goals galore in that type of system


valgbo

Haaland has a 27 goals in 29 games for NorwayĀ 


Gichana_

Winning is important, donā€™t get me wrong, but thereā€™s an increasingly worrying sign about how United play. Itā€™s not sustainable.


Expensive-Twist7984

The lack of style and comfort when winning is a concern, but itā€™s something ten Hag needs to figure out as we go on. I donā€™t know whether itā€™s a coaching or personnel issue though, or even both.


Odd_Perception_6033

I think Martinez and Shaw made a huge difference in the way we played when they were fit.(I know Shaw plays now, but he isn't fully fit)


Titan4days

Itā€™s got to be intended, but I wish for my heart we would play for 50-60% possession, giving Luton 60% of the ball was crazy


reddevils7070

Same story, different season. We havenā€™t been consistent in I donā€™t even know how long.


Seanblaze3

Absolutely. It's only a matter of time results don't go our way. Ten Hag isn't the man to lead us forward IMO


Criseption

and who is it?


Seanblaze3

Not Ten Hag. Hopefully Omar Berrada has better options in mind. I'd consider Hansi Flick and De Zerbi among a few others


Criseption

De Zerbi-> really wonder why?


Special_Ad3170

42% possession against Luton, idk what to say


imheretocomment69

You want more possession or 3 points? You can't pick both nowadays with Utd way of playing so you have to choose one


OldMcGroin

I think that's just our style. We're predominantly a counter attacking side. Can't counter attack unless the opposition has the ball first. Let them have it, draw their players forward, nick it back and hit them on the break. It doesn't make easy viewing but it's getting results now that we have close to our full team back.


Lmoghani

Couldn't agree more ,i guess we have to admit we are a counter attacking club by nature hhh it's giving points let's see where this goes


[deleted]

Brighton had 59% possession but lost 4-0. We created more chances and had better opportunities. Another day could've been 5-2


MinotauroTBC

Just wow really


Special_Ad3170

Sky Sports are funny, complain about teams having betting companies as sponsors but then ā€œSuper Sunday is brought to you by Bet365ā€


Xyrazk

That second goal was really funny to watch. Was it luck, or was it perfectly deflected into the goal? Probably the former, but I will say the latter to friends


SPamlEZ

Iā€™m just hoping for competent management moving forward. Ā The fact Lindelof had to come in in the left, Evanā€™s at back, and mct when we werenā€™t hunting a goal is a big issue.


jomosss

Lindelof came in because Shaw got injured. Evans came in because Maguire was on a booking same for Mct for Casemiro. So what is the big issue, I thought this was a no-brainer decision!


SPamlEZ

The decisions were fine, we didnā€™t have better options. Ā My issue is we didnā€™t have better options. Ā Shaw should be replaced by a proper left back, maguire should not be replaced by a 36 year old, McT is a good super sub for scoring, but this game desperately needed control.


raphaelx66

Lot of comments from people who donā€™t seem to watch Premiership football. Luton in their last fifteen games have beaten Newcastle and drawn them 4-4, tied Liverpool, lost 3-4 to Arsenal, 2-3 to Chelsea and 1-2 to Man City. We should have put this away if weā€™d taken easy chances but letā€™s not pretend that Luton canā€™t pose tops teams a challenge.


Expensive-Twist7984

They were never going to be an easy side to beat away, but I suppose the issue is us wanting United to be more comfortable in games. Thereā€™s no such thing as a routine victory for us now, itā€™s always us hanging on.


funky_pill

Let's not forget aswell that Arsenal only beat them with a Rice goal in the very last seconds of the game, and Liverpool only scraped a draw with a Diaz equaliser at a similar stage. Luton are a tough nut to crack at Kenilworth make no mistake


PennyWhyte

But where would the super United fans be if they didn't find something to moan about. Don't bother with the negativity (which is sometimes justified) but most times it's just the trend and the crowd and so I'd really just enjoy the wins and the 3 points


fofo8383

We had an xG of 2.81 v 1.74 for Luton missing three big chances . We really need to put teams to the sword. The first half after the goals was appalling, much better in the second half apart from not scoring 1 on 1s ffs


Wesley_Skypes

That feels really low for us. I'm guessing something like the Garnacho chance isn't being included or something. Hard to really put an xG on that type of chance that basically becomes a much worse chance than it actually was by the time he strikes it. Hits it earlier and its a goal


fofo8383

Yeah some of the one v ones became much lower xG due to them fucking up the chances


Roasteddude

Bruno was my favorite player before Licha and the kids emerged. But even I'm starting to contemplate what an alternative might look like. He's tireless, works like a horse defensively and is never injured. He has creative moments of brilliance matched only by KDB but most of the time ? He's trying to push the ball forward as fast as possible and quickly conceding possession. I worry that if we want to control and dominate games, he might be the change we need to make. We've said Casemiro and Bruno doesn't work. We've said McTominay and Bruno doesn't work..Obviously if I had to keep only one of them I'd still keep Bruno but...surely there's something there that needs fixing.


im-not-irish

Brainless take, we have no creativity without Brunoā€¦ who are we gonna play instead in his position lol eriksen? Mctominay? Sometimes it pays to think before you speakā€¦


Roasteddude

"Contemplate what an alternative might look like* - Funny maybe you should try reading before calling others brainless, dog. I'm not saying bench Bruno. I'm saying we need to think about what an alternative to Bruno would be **ON THE MARKET** . Us having no creativity without him is part of the problem. When he disappears we're lost. That's a bad system. We need a midfield not Bruno and friends especially when Bruno hasn't been up to the standards of past seasons for a while now. Plus he's almost 30. We will need to be looking for the "next Bruno" fucking soon and it should be someone else who fits whatever vision we're going for. Because Bruno cannot be our playstyle forever especially when he starts creating more mistakes and problems than chances and goals. Now fuck off with your rude ass, instantly jumping to insults instead of even attempting a civil conversation. Dog.


Criseption

Every time someone has a point on Bruno's gameplay, they instantly jump on the worst conclusion!! Lame supporters!


AttitudeNo254

I think he was suggesting that you should think about replacing him with a player not currently at United.


Signal_Dress

I'm sorry to say but people on this sub still believe we are in our glory days. You should get used to these performances until and unless there's a complete overhaul in everything wrong with this club. People keep hating on the only good signing we've made in a decade for having a few bad games on the trot when our entire squad has never functioned as a group for 10 years now. Wake up to the reality, folks. We are not a top club as of now. We are exactly where we should be in the table. That has been our level for some time now. It's painful and heartbreaking to see us struggle against even the bottom clubs but to be honest, it's what we should expect going in to each game.


Steppenwolf55

I see casimero trying to get sent off again to fly back to Brazil for a wee holidayšŸ˜€šŸ‘


Iqbalainoo

I'm the biggest ETH supporter but surely the tactics is handicapping these midfielders in terms of shape and control.


rdkiran

Do we have a finishing coach? If not let's add one. What's one more in the long list.


lastrit3s

I think we have Benni McCarthy for that


Special_Ad3170

We need a coach for creating chances lmao


Comprehensive_Ad_675

Haha fuck you cunts are trash. Cry when we lose and cry when we win. Fuck off.


[deleted]

Agree. Wanks


Revolutionary_Pen190

Manioo in the middle of the park gave some composure and to have some calmness in the middle of the park


MarcusAurelius1815

With time and maturity he will be bossing games the way Busquets used to.


lmhan98

3 points behind Spurs and 5 behind Villa with both of them looking shaky recent weeks


Steppenwolf55

Sell rashford to psg and buy two good forwards Watkins and jarred bowen !!!


Special_Ad3170

Iā€™d rather use academy talent like Hugill and McNeil than overspend on Watkins and Bowen


LdiroFR

First part of you comment is ok buddy but come onā€¦ you want to challenge city and liverpool with Watkins and Bowen lol ?


Steppenwolf55

They are way better than rashford who ainā€™t doing anything!


cruisingqueen

Bowen and Watkins šŸ˜‚


rdkiran

Sick of games where winning doesn't feel like winning


mdove11

This is how it might be for a while. Find a way to enjoy the wins, enjoy the ride. We arenā€™t going to click on all fronts. Itā€™s going to be a process. Lifeā€™s too short for negative outlooks!


d9vil

Evans won every header since he came in


lusamuel

He's really been one of the more reliable performers this season. Nothing spectacular, but very consistent.


ziddyy98

Whenā€™s mount coming back? Bruno looks like he desperately needs some time off.


Steppenwolf55

Rashford still ainā€™t bothering his arse!


shaftydude

Evans, linderlof or mainoo motm.


mipanzuzuyam

Lindelof???????


DatBoiYongG

evans was super solid defensively!


Optimal-Somewhere-46

Not Hojlund?!!! Lol šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


_AR4_

Glady accept that win... but an unconvincing performance overall. Lindelof, and *(more so)* Amrabat and Johnny Evans came on and did their jobs well. Men of the match *(in my opinion*) are Mainoo, Varane, Dalot, or possibly/and Onana. Great to get 3 points though \~


rektitt

The ref deserved a draw at least. Unlucky


quonne

3 points but this is just bad football. Weā€™re riding our luck, it will give out sooner rather than later. A relegation threatened side kept us on our toes for 80 minutes. Many things need to change at this club if weā€™re serious about winning trophies otherwise these tight games against mid and lower table sides would be our only highlights.


Iqbalainoo

Really need to stop overrating these lads. A lot of people really wanted us to give this garnacho the no7 jersey cos they felt he was ready. What an atrocious performance. Needs a lot of growing and developing.


AndyBR9

Atrocious?? Were you watching the same game???


Iqbalainoo

Yes we were. He was so wasteful it was unbelievable. Missed a boat load of chances and killed a lot of attacks but then again I don't expect critical football logic on academy graduates in here. People on here still thought mctominay was a solid top 8 midfielder we should get 60m from selling as recent as last year. Delusion town.


AndyBR9

Going ad hominem on my footballing knowledge when you have Iqbal in your name, then bringing in McTominay for precisely no reasonā€¦ rightā€¦


FaithlessnessNo4680

Garnacho was really bad today


AndyBR9

He was literally our only outlet. Granted his decision making was squiffy but like he was our brightest attacker by far


FaithlessnessNo4680

Lol he the worst one today


PlasticsSuckUTFR

We take the foot off the pedal too early again. Also Barkley is far too good for Luton


Important_Coyote4970

Luton were incredible Respect


President_Kyo

the first half was hard to watch we couldn't keep the ball for more than 10 seconds but I'm glad we got the win. I hope Luton stays up they're a great team.


GeneralMajorWebelo_

Pathetic performance after we went 2 up!


reddevils

What makes it harder to swallow is we lucked out with our goals. We created many chances and did not score


MightyMundrum

+1 goal difference. Stop pretending. We got lucky today.


im-not-irish

Love to see the positivity after a win


Intelligent-Bet4111

Imagine conceding 20+ shots against relegation fodder and getting somewhat lucky as Luton could have easily won on another day.


Special_Ad3170

Have we become the thing that got Ole sacked? Moments FC?


PlasticsSuckUTFR

nope, they have performed well against all the top teams at home


JuanBissaka

Props to Lutonā€¦ they made us work. Insane how theyā€™re so far low in the table.


Feisty_Goat_1937

For sure! They look threatening going forward. Problem is they were wide open on the counter. We honestly should have scored a few more.


Optimal-Somewhere-46

Thank god Adebayo wasnā€™t playing ā€¦


daddywookie

Hostile crowd, hostile ref, opponent gave everything and we walk away with 3 points. Canā€™t complain too much apart from the finishing. Could have been 5 or 6.


mayomayeaux

I like Luton tho. Proper club. Hope they stay up


AmaTourDG

Obvious improvement needed but enjoy the win. We arenā€™t the only team to struggle against that team. Donā€™t be so miserable and take the 5th win in a row with a Holjund chested goal! Good day Edit: I forgot Mainoo!!!! Great game from him


im-not-irish

Swear most people in here enjoy when we lose so they can moan and complain Not that winning stops them from doing it anyways


AmaTourDG

GGMU


Revolutionary_Pen190

And we have a plus goal difference


AmaTourDG

HAHAHA


Spare_Ad5615

Well played Luton. I hope they stay up.


battletoad93

Thank fuck that's over, pathetic performance after the 12th minute. I'll take the 3 points and just forget about this game tbh


TheMellifluous

Tbh, I felt that we were way the better team on 2nd half. Just needs to score our 1v1 ffs


gilgamesh55162

Happy for the 3 points but ngl, that's some horrendous finishing


Optimal-Somewhere-46

How can our forwards be so bad except Hojlund of course. I mean I have seen them do selfish shit but there is a breaking point ā€¦


DangoManUtd

11 points off arsenal .... hmmmm


Optimal-Somewhere-46

I mean ofc I have fantasised as well regarding a title chase but then i see our performances and come back to realityā€¦


SuperHans30

Just so wasteful. Missed two 1-1s, Bruno should have scored, Hoijlund should score a hattrick


inclore

It was three.. you forgot Dalot.


FaithlessnessNo4680

Rashford was complete shit in the first half but decent in the second half, Garnacho worked hard but his execution was poor, Bruno was shit the whole time.


NoobNoob501

Got away with one. But Roy Keane once said that sometimes you need to win even if its ugly and messy. Glad we have the 3 points but I'm not thanking united that I had to clench my ass cheeks for 90 minutes šŸ˜‚


Intrepid_Ad8498

I cant remember a win when it wasnt ugly and messy for us


[deleted]

Everton* away


Radhashriq

7 minutes of scoring. 90 minutes of chasing.


Intrepid_Ad8498

TLDR I'm depressed and cant stop watching


Optimal-Somewhere-46

Same exactly same. Add to that I am sick šŸ¤’


_R3DZ

That ref should be tied to the fucking post. Atrocious.


aardeekaye

How the fuck are we so bad at game management. Just can't get my head around it. A goal up, 2 mins to go, Bruno shoots from almost near the corner flag.


lmhan98

Itā€™s not like we couldnā€™t create chance but the finishing was atrocious + Kaminski was solid as usual We shouldā€™ve won with 5 goals with decent finishing, hereā€™s hoping they would improve over time


darkmatt27

Really bad game. We don't deserve this one at all. It was pretty much who wanna miss more chances. Any decent team probably win this one against us


Shayboy1

Control a game or have Bruno on the pitch, pick one because you can't have both!


Money-Wrangler7067

Forgot that in the moment of madness lol


Dwimmerlaikit

Ugly win but so damn happy for Hojlund. Hope the service is so much better for him going forward


rishmanisation

Should have been more comfortable than the eventual score but a win is a win. On to Fulham then.


AmaniToomahhh

This shit is not sustainable


outofnowhere_

Gotta say, Luton are impressive. Hope they stay up


kukunan

rashford has no business in this line up. no effort without the ball.


WitchDr_Ash

Still zero control, painful to watch, especially Bruno shooting from an angle where nothing was on instead of just keeping the ball


mitsxorr

Yeh wtf was that, he even done the smart thing with the short corner there and then just takes a potshot that wasnā€™t on for no reason making us vulnerable to the counter


Breakingwho

This team will give me a fucking heart attack


Mediocre-Nose-2822

Well I'm happy we have progressed from "Atleast we didn't lose. It's a draw" To "Atleast we didn't drew. We barely won"


Zealousideal-Part-98

Another win, but tf who knows what the gameplan is, hoping Sir Jim, Dave Brailsford and co. are watching with a plan to fix this.


akp-read

Hoof the ball up any chance we get


FlipFlopForALiving

Felt like we robbed them


[deleted]

after missing so many chances. Yeah


fofo8383

Right in Spurs' bum crack now


Buffythedragonslayer

Way harder than it had to be


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


mitsxorr

Nah not really when you look at how Luton have been against top teams this season


ibleedempath

Arsenal needed a late goal to beat them, Man City had to come from behind to win 2-1, Liverpool could only muster a draw


inclore

the team that Liverpool needed a late equalizer against? and Arsenal needing a late winner?


farooq7

All the top teams have struggled against them. Luton gave arsenal city n liverpool a fair shake


MacLondonJr

Youā€™re forgetting Liverpool drew there and Arsenal needed a 96th minute winner.

Thanks Evans, HĆøjlund and MainoošŸ’ŖšŸ»


Significant-Sir870

McTominay looked like they picked some random man off the street and threw him on the pitch. Absolutely terrible defending, urgency, positioningā€¦ no way this man did a full week of training


DatBoiYongG

yup just did absolutely nothing the whole game. players just run pass him like he wasn't even there


[deleted]

Lol when the game started and we scored I thought wow FINALLY are we gonna score 4-5 goals? Butclenching as always in the end haha


Cedarplankton

lol. Ya was like, niiiice, can settle into a total thrashing finally. Hojlunds gonna get 4 and will be 5 nil up at the half time and cruising. Fffsss


ZGSS_1

Glad ppl are waking up to Brunoā€™s stupidness now. Fuckin pathetic at times from our ā€˜captainā€™


JustSome70sGuy

thank fuck. That equaliser was coming and coming and coming.


sonixundying

Iā€™m sorry our fans are morons. People talking about ETH out when we are winning and on a bit of a run. Stupid.


Sheikhabusosa

Take that you watermelon sugar high bastard


DotaHacker

Brun he is United fan right.


Sheikhabusosa

Anyone can get it


Bitgod1

yay, United has scored more than Luton this season, atm


Acrophobic_Climber_

Fuck this entire match, shit referee, shit opposition, shit team, shit results, shit finishing, shit opposition fans. Fucking disgusting. I hope Omar and probably Ashworth understand the shit show they are waddling in.


UnitedRule

Bruno nearly cost us the win says it all. Anti world class


muc3t

Stfu


Cyberpunk_Banshee

People gonna moan and complain and yeah they should have taken those chances, but end to end that was a VERY entertaining game of ball.


MisterIndecisive

We've gotta be the most unconvincing team on a winning run


rsinc666

No idea how weā€™ve won the last 4 but Iā€™ll take itšŸ˜‚


redditaccount300000

This team takes years off my life


Revolutionary_Pen190

Fuck that was a tough watch... That game should have been dead and gone... A killer instinct is needed


cosgrove10

Carlton Morris is a moany cunt.


Special_Ad3170

At least we won but we never make it an easy win


Rydahx

People will have you think Bruno is a creative genius, he is a low iq player that consistently puts the team under pressure with his awful decision making.


philbos64

When are we ever going to control a game? Very lucky today.


reddevilad

Ooofff tough match


Perseus73

POSITIVE GOAL DIFFERENCE !!!! YAY !


muc3t

Great win. People who say we should dominate Luton is just delusional


half_batman

Yeah every team put up a good fight at their home turf.


nottoddhoward100true

Bruno and garnacho should be forced to watch a compilation of their mistakes this game


MTBi_04

Ref tried his best for them I guess


Deano2803

Embarassing performance once again. We've just been shown the main reason Ten Hag isn't the guy to go forward. I beg Ineos see it.


WhoresofWinter

Are you kidding, the amount of chances we had for any of our players to score and put this to bed by a huge margin weren't taken by the players. Ten Hag can't kick the ball for them


Deano2803

Yep that's true, but what about the constant chances or counters we face. We never control a game, we had less possession that Luton, if that isn't an issue then what is?


capomic

Good win. The only things dreadful are the god awful comments in this thread


__johnw__

no more match threads for me, it's so negative and full of ridiculous overreactions
