That 2H was fantastic. Open. A little scattershot. Lots of fun.
Damn it. An absolute gift to win it.
2-2 and we outplayed them. I don't think it was particularly close. We were the better team today.
First time Amorim had a week (nearly...6 days officially) of training between games and perhaps it paid off. Hope had evaporated after that City win. This doesn't mean much in and of itself but damn, at least it's something.
Realistically, our next 7 PL games are:
Southampton
Brighton
@Fulham
Palace
@Spurs
@Everton
Ipswitch
Hopefully we get enough points that the relegation talk goes away (we have been bad, but come on now). Then, sadly… we really need to focus on Europa. And we need to finish the group stage in the top 8. Probably our best chance at champions league.

I know I'm preaching to the choir. But Michael Oliver is utter **** and should not be reffing top level matches. If we can ignore for a second his anti-United bias, he gets major decisions wrong. Flat wrong time and again.
I actually thought Oliver had a good match. He got fooled on the Slabhead challenge on Salah (I think he was too close to the play) but the rest of the cards were correct and he didn't miss a card. Generally all the calls were correct across the board. The handling PK was interesting. He saw it and clearly waved it off. I wonder if the VAR talked him into it. Once you go to the monitor in England you are always going to see the original call changed. And like it or not it was handling.Furlock Bones said:

Just my $0.02
I missed most of the game but have had a chance to go back and watch/digest the game. I'm not sure what to take away from all of this. Pleasantly surprised but understand that we've been here countless times before so hard to get excited. Interesting how Amorim (and Bruno to a lesser extent) really ridiculed the team to a degree asking why they can't play with that level of intensity and commitment all the time. Which is exactly what EtH asked on multiple occasions as well.
@ Arsenal on Sunday is one thing but home to Southampton and home to Brighton in the 7 days after will probably a better indicator if anything has really changed.

Some rumblings that United would consider selling Garnacho and Mainoo due to their financial situation with Chelsea supposedly interested in the latter.
Neither are untouchable when you're in the edge of PSR but would hope that United would demand close to 9 figures for Mainoo given his age and the English upcharge. Garnacho feels like a much more logical choice to sell but my guess is that the his is mostly just a lot of words with a small likelihood of happening.

I saw an espn article today where the headline was basically "ManU should consider selling Mainoo, Garnacho and Hojlund".
I didn't bother to read it. It's idiotic.

Well if you sell off your entire roster, it should be really easy to buy replacements in the winter window when hardly anyone is available. That's how it works on FIFA. You just ring up Man City, say, "We want to buy Haaland" and Pep covers over to your office to negotiate. If he's a jerk, you may have to settle for Mbappe.

Holund...i am not certain but I sort of want to see him stick around...not sure if he is Amorim's type but he is growing on me...
Hojlund has fit into Amorim's system very well. So has Mazraoui. We all know Amad has been outstanding.
For a RB playing LWB, Dalot has played well.
If you could sucker some Saudi team into taking Cashemiro off your hands it would help a ton.

United's official account just posted that Amad signed his new deal. Through 2030.
Garnacho gets the start over Amad. Bayindir starts in goal which I'm sure we'll be just perfectly fine against the team that scores from set pieces at will. Other than that, it appears to be the players that have become Amorim's first XI. Garnacho had a good showing against Liverpool...hopefully he can make it two for two.
I know some of you guys dislike Onana, and I do get it because when he's bad, he's not just a little bad. But Bayindir always looks so uncomfortable and indecisive.
And we can't keep hold of the ball too much.

G Jesus is such a little *****
Is this only on espn pay network?
Bruno was right.

Disney + if you have it
Ref just watches Bruno get flattened from behind with no intent to even get to the ball and then cards Bruno for slamming his cleat (that came flying off from said tackle) on the ground

ESPN+ and Disney +.
I'm confused why it's available through Disney+. Is this a promotion thing?
Yeah we have Disney+, which evidently includes ESPN+ now.
Just desserts for the rat G Jesus, who is stretchered off the field. Karma

Huh. Chalk up another thing I didn't know I was paying for.
Thanks.
I think they put everything except live TV channels (that part of Hulu) on D+ about 6 mos. To a year ago. I think.
I'd say shocking refereeing but we see this BS every week. Ever since Klopp and crew started complaining that United get too many penalties, it's like refs are out to make sure we get nothing.
This ref is a complete clown

I thought you had to pay for a Bundle. Hmm. I'll take it
From looking at the espn app, only this match is on Disney+ rest are on ESPN+
So chalk it up to accidental things I am paying for rather than things I pay for that I never knew about.gougler08 said:

Go it.
Bruno!!!!!!
Great assist from Garnacho
That was well done by Garnacho and a ripper by Bruno.
