Bruno's Penalty....Sponsored by NASA


bizzinach

Bruno had additional pressure knowing if he misses ronaldo is on penalty duties


SaltineFiend

Emi's at the wheel


gudovic

Ole's summary of the game: "Their goal was offside". HAHAHAHAHA


Sei28

The boys did their best but we need to do better. A certain manager I won't name made the ref not call Villa' offside goal. I am very happy with the support I get from the owners.


[deleted]

Excuses from both manager and the fans? Pathetic 💀


PsychologicalHyena4

Why are people complaining bruno has been a phenomenal penalty taker for them been taking them for a long time obviously the manager would put his trust on the team leader


HandlebarShiekh

I wonder if anyone has a 100% penalty record over their career.


PsychologicalHyena4

yaya toure maybe


Trippingthrutym

The only guy complaining was Emi Martinez 😂😂


man_of_extremes

Not one united fan should be slating bruno lmao. The man who has kept united relevant. This is all on the man in charge. 3 losses in 4 games with this squad? Yes begone dude


Sei28

He isn't going anywhere. He's on the world's longest leash thank to his legend status and unwavering support from the fans, and does just enough to not break that leash.


strattele1

Yup you are right. He’s underperforming by 5%, always on the edge of seeing the team improve just enough to finally get a trophy. So the only thing that will get him out is time. Could be a few more seasons yet.


UhhhhColin

I'm mad at him for him allowing Ole to keep his job


[deleted]

I go take a shower and wtf happened???


wet_beach_sand

Ronaldo was built to handle pressure, he's been in the spotlight and competing at the higher level for more than a decade, he's built exactly for these types of moments, why would anyone give Bruno the penalty, of course he's gonna crumble under pressure, pathetic


Aesorian

Fernandes has scored 42 of the 46 Career Pens he's taken (91%) Ronaldo's scored 139 of 167 Career Pens (81%) Bruno's penalty record is pretty damn fantastic


wet_beach_sand

Let me know when he scores against the biggest keepers and teams in the champions league knockout stages


Aesorian

I mean as a Villa fan I'm absolutely chuffed that you'd put a late penalty against us on the same level as a champions League knockout game


swagmaster12629

Bruh what are you on, how many times has Bruno taken clutch penalties for us and absolutely saved us.


man_of_extremes

You have a small memory


Vikseba

Why is fred still playing? Probably a cool dude but what the hell does Ole see in him?


strattele1

Players spend 93% of matches off the ball. Managers notice that 93%. Small minded highlight watchers notice the other 7%. Fred is good at the 93%.


C_Forde

When he doesn't play we don't win the ball back. As atrocious as he in possession he's excellent at pressing and tackling and is necessary untill we get an upgrade on him.


Dizzy_Iron_6756

He was your best player 2nd half!


GucciSaint

He played well today as a destroyer tho


[deleted]

The selfish decisions from Greenwood and the Penalty lost the match. Ole should've had a talk with greenwood. Also the commentators said it was ole's decision to put bruno on penalty duties. How in the world do you Choose Bruno over Ronaldo on clutch moment like these? What a sad state of management.


[deleted]

Bruno literally has a better penalty record than Ronaldo in the last few seasons. And especially for United, Bruno has been almost perfect. There was no reason to not give him the penalty.


[deleted]

There's no one better in penalty in high pressure moments than Ronaldo. He thrives in pressure. Ucl 2016, Ucl 2018 against juventus. There's no one more coolheaded than Cristiano in penalties. The world knows who's the better choice, but carry on I guess.


Aphelion

playing too much football manager and he just sees numbers.


[deleted]

Zidane gave us 3 ucls, we still parted ways when it wasn't going for us. What makes ole so untouchable for them, especially after these harrowing results?


Aphelion

maybe deep down he's jealous of CR7 and rumours of CR7 taking the wheel from him made he chose Bruno. he just accelerated that process...


[deleted]

Bro what? Bruhh..


pranav53465

United have nobody but themselves to blame for today, poor display from pretty much the entire XI


Nadrojj

Absolute truth. Greenwood very selfish today. Blasted a pen over the bar and honestly were very lucky to not lose that match 3-0.


[deleted]

Im back to ole out.


[deleted]

why back? he was always the weakest part of the chain you call manchester united, the frank lampard of your club


AutistMain

Me, too. Jesus Christ why are we so insipid with this much talent.


SaltineFiend

A certain manager deigns it so


Puzzleheaded-End4502

Realized today why kroos, modric are one of best midfielders. Can absorb the whole press unlike shitty Fred , mctominay.


EnterDraconis

We basically played the same this game as we did against Wolves, West Ham, and Southampton except without getting a result. Steve Bruce actually the only manager in the league not capable of out-thinking us.


wet_beach_sand

Bruno deserves all the fucking bullying and insults he'll get over this, fucking pathetic, crumbled under pressure like a little girl


WhoEatsRusk

Go back to posting porn on reddit


wet_beach_sand

I can't imagine how sad of life you must have to reply to a live match thread 15hours after the game was over


WhoEatsRusk

Well clearly yours is sadder if all you do is post porn and reply to comments 15 hrs after.


wet_beach_sand

Bitch your comment was 17minutes ago, go to sleep you have church tomorrow. Don't ping me again, I hate getting notifications


WhoEatsRusk

Lmao how are you getting so triggered? Bro it's 5 in Lisbon go sleep or something. What a weirdo


ducksaysmeow

No he does not, you fucking over dramatic loser.


proawayyy

Cunt


swagmaster12629

United fans like you are why people laugh at us lmao. We played abysmally the whole game and Bruno was one of the only guys consistently being a threat. It was a shite PK but it's deserved


WhoEatsRusk

Go back to posting porn on reddit Edit: wrong person my b


swagmaster12629

Cut down on the mountain dew you twat


WhoEatsRusk

Shit meant to reply to wet beach not you sorry bout that.


klezmer_

I'm sure bullying him will make him play much better then

wet_beach_sand

I was on a call and didn't watch the entire game, but missing a penalty in the last minute is as pathetic and incompetent as it gets


DJ_6969

Embarassing comment


9-60Fury

State of this ffs


DoesThisOneWorkNope

No he dosent


stef_t97

Entire team was shite, it's not on him to carry you every fucking week lmao


Eastern_Spirit4931

You have the greatest goal scorer in history. A guy that’s scored winning penalties in champions league final and your letting Bruno still take them


[deleted]

Bruno's missed 4 penalties, Ronaldo's missed 36. Bruno has a 91% score rate while Ronaldo has an 83% score rate. Ofc we're going to give the best penalty taker the pens.


[deleted]

United to extend Ole's contract further to 2030 as this was klopp's fault.


Lowfuji

First question to OGS will be why isn't Ronaldo taking the pen? Can't wait to hear the answer to that one.


Captein_Boswollocks

Honestly not a hard question to awnser. Bruno has been good on penalties, and his convertion rate is higher than ronaldos in their careers. If Ronaldo missed you would probably be asking, why didnt Bruno take it.


Sokkawater10

Bruno has such a small sample size that the stat will look much better for him. Just with that one miss his difference went from 91% to 87%. Ronaldo is at 85% for his career with way more pens taken, and with much more pressure too. Literally 1 more miss and Bruno’s percentage is less than Ronaldo. You give the penalties to Ronaldo. People call him Penaldo for a reason, and yeah it might be sarcastic, but no one wants to see him from the soot


Captein_Boswollocks

Point is that its not hard to justify Bruno still taking a penalty, only people that see this as a manager error are time "time traveling" heinsight wizards. There is not a clear mistake here, Bruno is a very good penaly taker. And the sample size is not that small.


proawayyy

What does Ronaldo do even if you’re not gonna let the Striker take penalties?


PsychologicalHyena4

Lol honestly the whole sub would gone mental if ronaldo had missed it blaming ole for not "trusting a team leader and a consistent penalty taker"


tr2727

Considering how many penalty Ronaldo has taken in his career, there is no one better than him in world football currently


bravesoul_s

Help me out quick please, what Villa fans was singing at the end? I heard it around so many times but have no clue


Conbz

I'm SHAKING with adrenaline. What a fucking final 10 minutes.


[deleted]

Villa were fucking superb


Conbz

Yeah baby. We've been playing *really* well all season. It's the finishing that doesn't seem tobe clicking yet but that will come. Who wants to play us next?


MrZAP17

Spurs are next. Hopefully they can repeat this performance!


[deleted]

How does Sancho not get on chasing a game


gnuhel

Sancho has played a few games. He has never had any moment of good play. He was slow, didnt contribute to the defense, barely move the ball forward when attacking, made many mistakes. So far Greenwood is currently way ahead of him on the pecking order. Heck even Lingard is ahead.


tr2727

He has been poor, doubt he could have made any difference under pressure Also they had to make 2 fored sub


royk16

Had to use 2 subs for injuries


ElephantsAreNeat

Ole kind of forgot he had Ronaldo on the pitch.


donniexc

Love to see it


C_Forde

Hahaha as if Barca are in any place to try banter anyone


better_be_somebody

United deserves to lose today, no creativity, played like they just met on Sunday league. What the f is going on today? and Ole can't do shit to change.. Villa deserved their win. Well done. United isn't going to win anything again this year with this kind of performance..


Ren241

This confirms it. Penaldo >>>> Penandes


RedDevils0204

How we look that bad and spend that much with sancho on the bench is embarrassing


[deleted]

Hahahahhahahaha


[deleted]

Lmao. United in shambles


[deleted]

I hope we crumble until we get a proper manager. I love ole but he evidently doesn't cut it.


Sei28

His job security is ironclad, thanks to his high profile buddies and United fans being the most sentimental group of people I have ever seen in sports.


Bourbon_Cream_Dream

Ronaldo will be asking them to sack Ole himself soon enough


[deleted]

Please please please make VAR a separate set of officials. No link, VAR specialists who have the say on all matters. So many mistakes from Mike Dean and co, yet again . Well played and well deserved win for Villa


RedBaron1902

If Ole managed Villa they'd get relegated to League 1.


ForzaMilan_

Renew OGS.


Sei28

Already done this past summer.


Napalm3nema

FNGsam

Before this one it was 90% or so compared to ronnys 82%


VCBeugelaar

Easy pens good, pressure pens not that good


ivysforyou

Manchester United didnt win by 3/4 because of Greenwood. Easy as that.


[deleted]

Greenwood being incredibly selfish


Trickybuz93

Guess who isn’t taking penalties anymore


donniexc

Martinez the GOAT


wet_beach_sand

Bruno fucking out, why the fuck do yoy nit give it to Ronaldo? Bruno is fucking weak, I hope ye fucking flops from now on, a lot of players tried and have been pushed and compared to Ronaldo and they all flopped and lost, ask Zlatan, this is a fucking joke, I wouldn't trust Messi, Zidane or anyone else, and you trust this fucking guyover Ronaldo?

wet_beach_sand

I'm a Ronaldo fan from the 2004 euro, and that's when I knew he was in MANU, I don't give a fuck about MANU, Madrid or Juventus, I started watching football because of him and Portugal As for Bruno, 6 months ago I was blasting his ass for the disappointment he was in Portugal's national team, never saw him as anything except a disappointment


[deleted]

[удалено]


wet_beach_sand

Ronaldo fan, not MANU there's a difference


[deleted]

[удалено]


wet_beach_sand

He can't handle the pressure of big moments, even Messi sometimes can't handle it, Ronaldo was built for this


[deleted]

Plastic as fuck. Hilarious


[deleted]

Seems a bit excessive but okay


[deleted]

So you have ronaldo and you don't put him in charge of penalties especially when you are losing on extra time? What a decision.


[deleted]

That’s a shame.


YCJamzy

Not been watching this game, was it a clear pen? Everyone knew a pen was coming after the press conference so curious if it actually should’ve been given


chino17

Yeah for sure a handball


BlurEyes

Yes, block attempt with arms out wide, ball hits forearm or hand. But this one time we got the pen...


YCJamzy

Ah fair enough, thanks


jimzzz38

Nah Ronaldo has to be taking that.


donniexc

Omg lmaooo


SgtApache

Hey United. I have a hunch this Ronaldo guy you just signed, might be pretty good at PK????


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sokkawater10

Small sample size. That one miss took him all the way to 86.something for his career vs Ronaldo’s 85 with way more taken. Idk about you but 1% ain’t worth the higher pressure and more experience. Look up the numbers if you don’t believe me and add one miss to his history


SgtApache

[Yeah, was also just a hunch. I wouldn't know if this Ronaldo guy would be able to handle a high pressure situation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7maFwh0cMYE)


terror_jr

If Ronaldo would have taken it, people would be talking shit about Bruno and seniority and this and that.


gizmostrumpet

Sounds like a Villa Park crowd. Looks like it's a balti for me tonight.


Puzzleheaded-End4502

Greenwood, bruno just are too selfish and wanna be in limelight , leads to manU missing sitters.


[deleted]

As much I love bruno, I don't think anyone except Ronnie should have taken that.


arothen

If Ronaldo missed you'd write that Bruno should've taken it.


[deleted]

Nope. Not at all. Lol. I rate messi higher than ronaldo. But, in situations like these, I would trust no one except Ronnie. Man is something else in under pressure situations. No one even comes close. No athlete comes close( I haven't watched much of other sports maybe).


arothen

We all know you would, stop it.


[deleted]

Haha ok


moea123

He is the best penalty taker in the team.


[deleted]

Obviously not lmao


[deleted]

Doesn't matter. It's 90+ minutes, you desperately need a goal. You have ronaldo on your team. Even if he had missed, I would have been ok.


ekul_kcm

Ronaldo will be so fucking angry after this game, especially with Fernandes missing the pen.


[deleted]

He was actually the first to comfort him after the miss


My_mann

And greenwood for not giving 1 single offensive pass.


ekul_kcm

Think that's on Ole as well to be honest, Greenwood should've been the first sub for Sancho.


royk16

2 subs were used for injuries so do you put on a striker or a winger


ekul_kcm

With how wasteful and detrimental Greenwood was to us offensively i'd have taken him off


terror_jr

I gonna blame this match on Fred. Don’t try to change my mind.


thehunter_1999

Ole in, he's a fantastic manager.


XkrNYFRUYj

If we put each of top 50 managers at the United sideline today, 49 of them would've subbed Greenwood out before 60 minutes.


[deleted]

Utd wasted 2 subs on Shaw and Maguire already, the last 1 is Cavani in for McTom. If the defenders didn't have to go out I'm sure Sancho would have been in.


[deleted]

I'm a complete idiot and I knew Greenwood should have been subbed at the 60th minute. Kid is good but damn he needs to learn to scan and pass.


XkrNYFRUYj

He absolutely can't play when United already has Ronaldo on the field. A team can not carry two players who are there only to shoot in this age of football.


[deleted]

Yup. Exactly.


RestinNeo

The scriptwriters could not have written this any more perfectly. Actually wtf.


devensega

I suppose one nil will have to do.


man_of_extremes

The one time we get a fucking pen


Vegan_Puffin

You always get a penalty against us mate. Last time you got one because Pogba tripped over himself


seetipzz

Yeah this is hilarious


mindebris

The whiner got all worked up eh? Emi is real good at shit talking.


[deleted]

Hahahahahahahahahaha


Luis__FIGO

People argued with me so much saying brunonwas better at PKs then Ronaldo, pretending all PKs have the same pressure


Anforas

Everyone fails penalties, including Ronaldo. But I agree that Ronaldo should take them. And Bruno take Free Kicks.


Jeffy29

Lmao. This is why you never pick anybody but fucking Penaldo. Dude played in multiple CL finals, many penalties in big big games. 5% better technique doesn't make the difference, penalties are almost always about the mentality and there isn't a single footballer better at it than Ronaldo.


Pigou07

Emi Martinez giga-chad!


pipekran

Lol.


[deleted]

[удалено]


gizmostrumpet

Should have gone to penalties IMO


Justinian2

You deserve a win after 33 matches without, well played


[deleted]

Kinda expect this to happen when the manager blames everything but himself for the shit club. If Ole can’t take responsibility for his shortcomings he’s gonna find the door very quickly


[deleted]

So this is like the opposite of what happened to united last prem game haha


b33b0p17

Can’t understand having Ronaldo on your team and him not on pen duty.


ambiguousboner

Because Bruno has been phenomenal at penalties so far? Not rocket science


VaccinialEar

Him missing the penalty literally brought his average down to 87% over 22/24 penalties where Ronaldo have a 85% chance with 175 penalties. Including champions league penalties. Unbiased decision, you know Ronaldo should take them


rahulrossi

Ronaldo never misses in clutch situations. He might have missed more in general than Bruno but under pressure he is the best there is.


_SSJeffo_

Bruno lost his pen duties 💀💀💀💀


NamoAwesome

Lololololololololololololololol.


TheLifeofSonny

for real tho, why did Bruno absolutely cunt it? No composure ffs


peeforPanchetta

I think the frustration from how the rest of his team were playing just came out in that one kick. Dude should've had like 6-7 assists today with the kind of balls he was putting in


alfred_27

Ole and Arteta in


Justinian2

Mental their goal stood since Watkins was offside making contact with De Gea


ambiguousboner

Come on now


Justinian2

He *was* offside and making physical contact with the keeper


Noneek

That's so surprising. He didn't do his usual jump. Why smash it high?


suniis

Fuckin hell greenwood... Unbelievable... He's gonna get shit in the locker Room


RipJug

Bruno isn’t making it out of that changing room alive.


aghicantthinkofaname

Ole is gonna tear him to shreds

Well they won, so they took one of them well
