Cue a tsunami of posts about how the players and the managers have to go.

We had the years of bore draws with LVG, Jose, Ole etc.

You wanted to be entertained! Was that not entertaining enough!

Yes they lost, but they fought back from 2-0 down to be lead with seconds to go.

To say there isn't fight etc, which is what will be said, is simply false.

A freshen up in the summer and that result goes out way.

Always look on the brighter side of life folks.

Otherwise life will consume you.

Stay safe ?.

Any team can be entertaining if they play with no tactics, we will win half our games and lose half our games if we just go out and do that, as per the whole of ETH’s reign if we try and defend in a game we can’t attack and if we try and attack we can’t defend, we can never do both.

Enjoyable game, the tactics of a top manager / team can’t be to just play basketball and just hope you win on the flip of a coin and score some chances, we at no point controlled the game, I’d rather see us play like that than Saturday but both are a shambles.

Millionaire bottle jobs.

I'm definitely entertained, I've not stopped laughing. Man Utd are being coached by Coco the clown with tactics courtesy of Charlie Chaplin.

Bang on mancman.

I'm not saying we played well, but we did a great job to turn a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 lead.

Yet sometimes the universe just seems against you.

Chelsea had more than a shade of luck for every single one of their goals tonight.

The first took a massive deflection to fall at the feet of Gallagher, if it didn't then that goal doesn't happen.

The second goal probably was just about a penalty, but it was a little soft, and I've seen stronger penalty appeals waved away.

Their third was never in a million years a penalty, Dalot fell over, and hardly made contact. That would never be awarded to an away team.

The final goal was just salt in the wound. Clearly the United players were in shock and frustrated at the in justice. They switched off which isn't acceptable, although understandable. Yet even so Palmer's shot was heading straight at Onana before it took a massive deflection.

Four goals from two soft penalties and two big deflections. If it wasn't for bad luck we'd have no luck at all.

Ultimately football is a results business, but I feel robbed tonight. The players need to be better but they had done enough to get the result in that game, and bad luck has robbed us. Unfortunately the media will jump on this and the sack the manager whispers will become louder.

I'm just sick and tired of this bull season. Ridiculous injuries, ridiculous decisions and nothing but bad luck.

Chelsea had 28 shots, of course they did, a team that was in 12th and has looked awful all season had 28 shots against us, we deserved nothing and got nothing in my opinion.

05 Apr 2024 02:12:26
If’s but’s and maybe’s don’t win games. Goals, deflected or not, do!

Dalot didn't fall. Watch the replay. He tripped himself up on the players foot which was the first contact and then fell into the player. Whether you like it or not it was a penalty, soft or not.

Regardless of that. These things go either way. We have had our fair share of dodgy penalties and deflected goals. It’s part of the game.

Fact is we are rubbish. We don’t have the staff on or off the park. The much mentioned rebuild will take years and years so buckle up people it’s going to be a long and hard ride.

05 Apr 2024 02:54:48
So only Chelsea’s were lucky? The first goal was a gift on a plate from Caicedo. 2nd goal Chelsea defence switch off completely leaving Badiashile to deal with a 2v1 at the back post. Run Anthony’s cross 100 times and I get you 99 of the other times they’re over hit or wayward. Tell me again how Chelsea were the only lucky side ?.

05 Apr 2024 04:47:35
First pen was never a pen. No way.

Second pen was poor play from Dalot. Very poor. It was incredibly soft, but once that woeful ref gives it VAR is not overturning with the foot contact.

Crazy game. Poor season. Just waiting for it to end.

when you are chasing a win and down early, you will have an open game. It was fun to watch till the last 2 minutes. No question about effort rate or players desire imo. just weird sh. t and mentally switching off, both pens can be given and not given imo. last night both were given. Was always going to have goals as both teams defensively concede goals on a regular basis.

05 Apr 2024 14:08:52
Ahmad,

So at 3-2 why were we open then? Or were we still chasing the game?

05 Apr 2024 15:15:27
Not to add the fact that the ref let the game go on until Chelsea won.
And Garnacho robbed of the MoTM award because palmer scored 2 undeserved penalties and a deflected goal in the 1 millionth added minute.

05 Apr 2024 22:29:53
You mean Fergie time? That period all United fans love? Swings and roundabouts.

06 Apr 2024 08:13:24
Giggs

I agree when we are were up 33-2 just sit in, keep possesion and if needed kick it away. Saw eth telling them to calm down and keep the ball and sit in. We had them pinned down the left hand side in their half with Bruno mount and Dalot in the 95th minute and keeping possession. The next 5 minutes were hard to explain and a comedy of individual errors.

04 Apr 2024 22:57:17
Another depressing night watching my pathetic team throw away a game. When will this season be over? Do I have any faith that next season will be any better?

I read a lot on here about whether Ten Haag is the right man or if the team are throwing him under the bus. Honestly, I wouldn't be upset if they all went.

How many more of these toothless displays must I watch?

04 Apr 2024 23:39:10
Those players need going before any manager

Every 18-24 months for the past 10 years we have said the same thing “sack the manager”

It’s time the manager is backed and the same pretenders that have thrown previous managers are sold

If they don’t want to leave release them.

04 Apr 2024 22:34:40
When Chelsea equalised I was livid and thought damn it we've lost the 3 points. to then not even get a point You can only imagine the words that's left my mouth. Shocking.

04 Apr 2024 22:31:19
What a kick in the unmentionables that is, I'm f***ing fuming.

What the fk was Dalot doing and where the fk was everyone when Sid the Sloth collected from that corner?

The only positive I take from that match is Kambwala proving again that he's good enough for a run - utterly irrespective of which injury-hampered senior is available.

We lost today because some players forgot they're professional and well-trained.
Nothing ten Hag could have done about that, nothing to do with training or the medical team, we simply lost today because the moron-switch was too busy.

Fk the season, it's done.

04 Apr 2024 22:48:58
Gutted. Not sure what to think of what i saw. Its a team that seems to have mistakes in it and some of the strangest individual stuff you will ever see. Most will jump on eth but saw him maybe say 1o clearly telling them keep the ball and keep your shape. Cannot see how any manager will get rid of this stuff. this is a long rebuild and 3/ 4 years and most will not be here if you get it right. Still think Dalot is very good player and not going to join the hate brigade.

Maybe best to miss europe all together if it was not for our finances and get a season next year as building block. still think we will beat the scousers on sunday though :) its karma and can't explain it.

05 Apr 2024 00:00:25
Yeah a tough watch. Bitter pill to swallow after coming back into it.
My bias aside it was a soft enough pen, dalot was caught wrong side and tried to recover a bit clumsy.
I'd have praised the team if they had held out but its about habits and our players don't have good habits in terms of keeping shape passing and moving. Every single player out there tonight are very capable of passing the ball 10 yes 15 yes and keeping possession but they are not drilled that way.
Another 28 shots against tonight on the plus side we had 19 so at least we attacked.
Anthony showed he can play ( I'd be staying well clear of cuccarala)
Garnacho again our best player.
It's easy to say in hindsight but putting rashford on was high risk and taking garnacho off was baffling. Put those decisions are up to the manager and he is doing what he thinks is the right thing. If it comes off then he has made the right calls if it doesn't then he has to accept the flak.
Go into the Liverpool game with some hope I agree ahmad.
It wasn't all bad tonight and a little unlucky not to get a draw.
European football is crucial for this club and for the supporters.

04 Apr 2024 22:30:37
That just sums us up in every single way. Pathetic.

04 Apr 2024 22:26:15
I think ETH has just lost his job.

05 Apr 2024 01:23:11
He lost his job weeks ago.

05 Apr 2024 09:33:18
Let's hope so. Awful manager.

04 Apr 2024 20:40:53
Get Fernándes off put mount on the team would play much better without him.

30 Mar 2024 22:05:14
Would have been lucky to win that. To be honest we were lucky to get a point. Awful again. Game in game out we get ripped to shreds and nothing changes. Brentford can feel hard done by though no doubt eth will have watched a different game to the rest of us??‍♂️.

23 Mar 2024 18:14:58
I was really hoping that Mainoo would start tonight but he’s on the bench. Disappointed.

24 Mar 2024 09:14:49
It really doesn’t matter Fizz.

1) it’s a pointless friendly,
2) Southgate has his favourites and we all know who will be starting in the double pivot in June.

24 Mar 2024 12:23:54
I know it's a pointless friendly Wazza but that's the sort of game to blood youngsters as opposed to players Southgate knows all about. I would like to have seen how Mainoo integrated with Rice and Bellingham.

24 Mar 2024 16:36:49
southgate will never start him. he has never been brave and always goes with the conservative approach. He cost england that game against France in the WC not starting rash against kounde.

26 Mar 2024 08:15:10
Who will be start in June wazza?
Ahmad I think he will start him tonight.

27 Mar 2024 07:55:59
What did you say, Ahmad?

29 Mar 2024 10:56:55
Ken, I think Henderson is odds on under Southgate. But Mainoo (or an other) would be picked by a better coach who didn’t have so many insecurities.
