Match Day Thread Brentford v Manchester United

After weeks of radio silence the forum can jump back into life for this Saturday night extravaganza. We return to the scene of the crime, this time we are supposed to have improved, to have moved on, to have learned the lessons of that terrible defeat - but have we.

Was the win over Liverpool a real turning point or has the international break destroyed the momentum and will Toney put us back in our box.

Martinez might return, Rashford might have realised that he needs to start playing if he wants to go to the Euros.................all to play for

 

It's funny, you get the international break and I realise that I'm just absolutely not interested in that football at all.

Well, not England anyway. I just can't give a **** about them.
No wonder the forum goes quiet.

Looking forward to tonight though. Hope everyone drifting off to play completely meaningless games hasn't knocked the wind out of our sails.

We should beat Brentford. Comfortably.

 

Tonights team and subs.

Team news confirmed: Brentford v United
Onana
Wan-Bissaka
Varane
Lindelof
Dalot
McTominay
Mainoo
Garnacho
Fernandes (c)
Rashford
Hojlund

Substitutes: Heaton, Kambwala, Maguire, Martinez, Amrabat, Casemiro, Eriksen, Mount, Antony.


EDIT.........Thought Mainoo was banned but it must only count in the cup.

 

Has Rashford broken out of a walk?

Has McTominay actually touched it?

Get those two impostors off the pitch and this should change.

Take your pick; Casemiro, Mount, Antony, Eriksen, Amrabat even.

 

And yes, ten Hag should ****ing see this.

Not excusing him at all.

 

Really piss poor half, back to walking about and shaking heads.

 

Not sure there's a single decent player on the pitch here to be perfectly honest.

Onana maybe?


The rest have been ****e. Hard to be too hard on Hojlund as he's had **** all to play with.

Fernandes was ok for a bit, but when it stopped working he joined the **** club.

 

The problem is we are too dependant on drawing teams in then kicking to the fast lads to score. Brentford are leaving just enough back to cover that and we are toothless without it.

 

You summed it up nicely. Pretty shoddy game for us actually. I was almost happy when I thought Toney had scored. We don’t deserve anything from this game.

 

I will be more than happy if we escape this game with a point

 

You have nine minutes to get your wish.

 

Not a wish mate, just the best we can expect at this point.

 

Ohh yesssss

 

OMG!!!! Mount!!!

 

What a left foot!!!

 

****

 

Haha. You couldn’t make it up. We are so bad at defending.

 

So unprofessional! Score a goal with three minutes of injury time to play and we still couldn’t stop them from getting a shot on target talk less of conceding. That was poor. A very poor game overall.

 

You should be used to it, it's a game we see far to often.
