Man Utd Thread:

[J70]

In fairness to Onana, he's not the first keeper to have trouble with those right wing free kicks from Ziyech. They were a great weapon for Morocco in the WC last year.

[NAG1]

Not sure what they do with Onana at the moment, does he pull him out for a couple of games and give him a kick in the ass. Or (which is most likely) he sticks with him and hope that he rides it out.

TBF in the premier league he seems to have settled, but in the CL he just loses the plot.

Even a 3 - 1 up in that game, I would imagine most fans were looking at the clock thinking that they could still lose this rather than thinking they will see this out. Just been the nature of the games this year, they dont seem to have the knack of killing games and slowing things down in those crazy heated moments.

Yeah soon as United were under a bit of pressure, first thing that should have happened is someone going down injured, take the sting out of it especially with that crowd going nuts

Who is Utd's current backup? Heaton?

Altay Bayindir - Turkish goalkeeper

ETH was taking some serious questions from the Turkish jurnos about why he wasnt getting a look in when Onana was performing so poorly in the CL.

[gawa316]

Onana will be home for AFCON so the Turkish fella will get time then to show what he can do

[Jeepers Creepers]

In fairness Onana has been playing well up until mid week so will be interesting to see what ETH does next. Tough game away to Newcastle who even with a threadbare squad are playing well.

He fooked up by letting de gea go. We would be out of that European group had de gea been in goal.

Na the mistake was the replacement. De Gea was done.

United are out  of that group .  They  simply aren't good enough , with Onana or with  de gea

Onana along with other defensive errors are the main reason by United are now facing exit from European competition as well as the Champions league.

Onana's Premier league form has been decent, 2nd in the league on save percentage but when that stat was given to the media today they ran with the headline "Ten Hag thinks Onana is the 2nd best keeper in the league"  which pretty much shows how they work with their click bait nonsense.

last season DeGea was I believe 10th in the league on save percentage. A big help for him was a settled defence, better centre back pairing and had Casemiro giving good protection in front of the defence. United's home form was key to finishing 3rd in the table. lost once at home all season and conceded 10 goals.

This season in comparison I've lost count to the amount of different back fours United have started with. Have got little or no protection to the defence from any of the midfielders either and that includes Casemiro as when available was poor when played. Long story short an environment that DeGea would have struggled in also.

Tomorrow Evening they are up against Newcastle side at home with an extra day rest and they travelled to Paris not Turkey. More importantly they are the opposite of Man United at the moment, make themselves hard to score against and beat any less than 2 goal margin win for Newcastle will be surprise.

[Ghost]

Pathetic stuff from Utd tonight. Newcastle battered them from the 1st minute to the last.

1-0 a good result for Man Utd based on that performance. Couldn't string 2 passes together all night.

Maguire and Shaw the only two to come out of that with any credit.

Martial his usual self and Rashford didn't want to know from the get go. Don't know why he sent the pair of them out for the 2nd half.

[HiMucker]

That was some stat they came out with during that game, United haven't beaten a team away from home who started the day in the top 8 since 2021

[Cunny Funt]

From the 1st to 85 minute bossed and out fought in that match. Man United defended reasonably well when you consider it was a defence with yet another different centre back pairing that had little protection from it's midfielders in front. Goal as usual with this group of United players was mainly down to a defender switching off.

For the 60 minutes that Rashford, Martial was on the field United may well have been playing with 9 men given their lack of involvement or effort and both should be dropped to the bench for Wednesday after that display. How and why McTominay was left on all game was mystery also, Joelinton breezed past him numerous times like he wasn't there and didn't bother tracking back.

Varane must be a cert for the Saudi league in Jan. Has it come out yet what ETH's beef is with him?
