2 mid-bottom table teams just playing the most unwatchable football imaginable.

I'm officially lowering my expectations to "just don't get relegated" and hope we're better next season.

Honestly we probably deserve relegation at this point, we have the dumbest players

Bruno picks up 2nd yellow 2 minutes into the half for absolutely no reason, having experienced the ref already give out 4 soft yellows in the first half

Painful.

That's 3 reds from Bruno. He's really got to stop leaving his foot in or else he'll get 3 more before the end of the season.

I didn't see his first yellow but can have no complaints about the second.

All of the first half cards were extremely soft

2 Olympico goals in a week given up

Lmao relegate this joke of a club. Who manages to concede 2 Olympicos in one season let alone in one week?

In his defense he was sandwiched. There's a time when that was a foul. Now days picks and plays like that seem to be ignored.

All they did was stand next to him. They didn't exert any force on him. That was just soft. First season De Gea soft.

Pathetic from.the defenders to let the Wolves players do that, but Onana made no effort at all either

I thought the first should have just been a foul, but when you get a yellow you have to play like you are on a yellow.

Yeah that's kind of the issue with Bruno. He leaves that foot in a lot whether he's on a yellow or not. And it is catching up to him this season.

Let the relegation battle commence. Utterly pathetic showing once again and now we get Newcastle, Liverpool and Arsenal on deck

This is going to be a very painful transition.

At least Arsenal is FA Cup. Kind of want to lose that game if I'm honest.

Less than 4 minutes. Thats all it took to give up a horrible goal.

There is a possibility, perhaps slim but non-zero, that the owner who waited for 6 months to hire his football director and then fired him after 5 months will fire his new hire coach before the end of the year. Ratcliffe has not impressed and there's a case he's stupid enough to do it.

This defense is awful. I mean it's relegation level awful.

Remember when we all made fun of Boehly for spending wildly. Well, at least he put money into trying to upgrade the roster even if it was a crazy scattershot approach. Jim has fired the tea lady and reduced overtime.

That was bad. The first 30 minutes they looked like they didn't want to be out there. The lack of defensive effort is just beyond me. I get it's a new shape. That doesn't mean you stand and watch balls and players.

It was more than bad. It was embarrassing.
Dre_00

Said it before and will say it again. No one has wantonly thrown away more unearned goodwill than Ratcliffe has. Literally had the low bar of being better than the Glazers and still muffed it.

Almost one week till the inevitable Liverpool slaughter and then another week till the Arsenal slaughter. If United are really going to commit to Amorim (and I'm not sure they will to be honest) then they need to sell Rashford, Garnacho, and Zirkzee in this window. And hopefully find at least 2 players who are talented and strong enough to compete in a team that will be an absolute **** show for the next 6 months at least.

I excused myself from yesterday's viewing experience around 20 mins in. Rough watch.

The weather gods pretended to smile on us but instead we will be forced to endure an ass whooping in the cold rain and snow.

Given their form and our current form I'm not saying we should be pounding our chest and predicting victory… BUT… would you rather play it in the last month? Will we really be that much better and them that much worse then that you'd predict a win?

And, just throwing it out there, what if they clinched and we got to enjoy permanent photos of United being the guard of honor for them getting to twenty?

I'm just saying. And I didn't feel great about last year, and we got a nil-nil draw at Anfield! Hope! It springs eternal!! (Kidding, but like all jokes, there is a kernel of truth).

Amorim was jovial and smiling in the pre match interview and 100% defending his system and that he won't change. He keeps saying that the players are still confused about their defensive responsibilities. This isn't rocket science. I'm not sure how they can be confused at this point.

That dragged boot across Mainoo's face was 1000% intentional. Dark Arts.

So close. If that cross from Dalot is a hair more forward that's on Amad's forehead

A right back playing left wing on a card defending Salah. What could go wrong?

Too much thinking by our players in attack. Telegraphing everything.
