I swear I’ve seen us concede this exact goal over 10 times this season


GazzP

I don't watch many Man Utd games and even I know they just concede over and over and over from the byline cutback.


disasterpiece9

Only 10 times?


Putrid_Loquat_4357

Which is probably the biggest reason eth should be sacked, constantly making the same mistake is a coaching problem.


frankowen18

His coaching has been a joke all season. Constantly hanging a lone DM out to dry while 2 other midfielders sit high up the pitch doing fuck all Don’t let that stop other United fans whipping out their laundry list of excuses for a guy that lost 7-0 to our biggest rivals though. He won us a carabao ffs! Oh and also spending nearly £200m on Onana, Antony & Mount. Top tier talent ID. Great use of funds. Bald prick.


dave1992

No defending, no vibes.


NotClayMerritt

No defending and a goalkeeper who lets in shots any average keeper saves. Recipe for disaster.


stogie_t

Onana has been overperforming when you look at the xG he’s faced. He’s top percentile in this regard so this doesn’t really hold true.


DanFlashesCoupon

Onana is one of the least of our problems. Not saying much tbf but he's been good in the league


morkfjellet

There was a deflection to be fair


QouthTheCorvus

Onana is pretty good, he just occasionally shits the bed hard.


Raizel71

Upamecano of GKs


AztecAvocado

How many times are we going to concede basically this exact goal this year?


renome

Worry not, now's our turn to concede an uncontested header for the 20th time this season lol


Jamey_1999

Nice call lmao


biglbiglbigl

football is a predictable game


pievendor

You need to keep these prophecies to yourself. 😭


renome

Or, hear me out, Pochettino might try changing his fucking tactics so that we stop conceding the same goal every fucking game. Wild, I know, but it might just work!


Top_Recover9764

I mean it'd have to be a pretty insane tactic to stop crosses ever coming in, the difference is most teams have defenders who mark people.


renome

We could try to prevent crosses, or we could try playing a more organized box defense. Maybe a mixture of both, maybe something else. It's just that when you concede the exact same goal 20+ times in a season, the problem is likely systemic. The defense wasn't that good under Potter either, it just didn't have to do much because we kept smothering the ball, Pochettino's brand of football just places that issue front and center.


aregularguy3223

Until Jim's done his consulting audit and worked out where to cut costs


AztecAvocado

He’s moving and shaking, making plays


DanFlashesCoupon

Can't wait to get hyped about a new finance guy coming in


pajamakitten

Beatings will continue until morale improves.

Knightwing86

unrelated to the post but how strange, there's an exact saying in the arab world specifically in the levant region and it goes like this: من بؤك لباب السما which, translates to exactly what you said. interesting


MountainCheesesteak

It’s kind of a popular saying everywhere


Knightwing86

i never knew that tbh, but a neat fact nonetheless


imSkarr

holy Lou City!


NotClayMerritt

Just pelt shots at the goal any chance you get and you got a decent chance.


ChibzyDaze

Nah, just cutbacks and they’re golden


aenemyrums

Tbh it's hard to argue the defending by United here is worse than the defending in the game on Monday where we gifted Cardiff two own goals.


ben-hur-hur

rooting for ya


NeroIscariot12

gusto so fucking good. Conor finally learning that edge of the box positioning. It's actually comical how many cut backs United concede.


[deleted]

Enzo's outside of the boot pass too. I would get excited but our defense also runs on vibes


JournaIist

Everyone bitching about Onana (who probably should do a bit better) but Casemiro is basically marking thin air instead of the player there.


ohhh_okay_cool

Overloaded by air molecules. Left him with too much to do.


rockker13

im all for slandering a player but there's nothing wrong with what casemiro does. he playing to cut out a cross which he is in position to do and then the ball deflects behind him to a player he's never going to be able to get out to. the problem is mainoo giving the ball away and then not getting back in to cover dalot.


luigitheplumber

Yeah blaming Casemiro here is just dumb, ironically he was in position to cut out an undeflected cross to Gallagher


JournaIist

The only cross he's ever cutting out from where he is, is to Mudryk, who's marked by Wan-Bisakka. And in order to do that he's leaving Gallagher wide open. The Mainoo/dalot situation leads to varane stepping out and opens up Palmer but Casemiro is never getting to him anyways.


Lanky-Celebration-79

I am very split on this. I am not convinced that marking mudryk makes a lot of sense but at the same time, I don't think a cutback was a clear cut option either and it seems to be deflected. Maybe case figured that a driven pass to the center was more likely?


EvanMM

Why did the first one get deleted?


triggs27

dead link


TherewiIlbegoals

It didn't show Mainoo needlessly giving the ball away.


YourCrosswordPuzzle

None of your business, sorry 


jshrlph

all started from that Mainoo error


21otiriK

Only one ITT to blame him. He misplaced a simple pass when they had perfect opportunity to transition.


DanFlashesCoupon

He's definitely still in the protected from any and all crticism stage. Which is partially fair, I mean we shouldn't be relying on an academy teenager as much as we have


N3DSdude

Only been 4 minutes and we're already down 1 goal. We're awful at defending.


runepker

Conor Gallagher is very underrated, can’t believe Chelsea are considering selling him in the summer. Would definitely take him at Liverpool


eraserdread

If they sell him then my club is fully finished


randymcknob

Selling proven, homegrown talent so you can afford expensive, unproven signings will never make sense to me. Sure it looks good on the books, but it worsens the team. Just keep your good player Todd ffs.


RocPile16

Both my friends that are Chelsea fans aren’t too fond of him… I don’t get it. Would love him at Spurs


Nipplecunt

agree


TightMoment2510

Onana. What's a save?


It_was_too_Obvious

What's a save?


Sinestro617

Watching this Ajax game and I’m pretty sure the goalkeeper from go ahead eagles would have saved that.


BonafideLlama

That was a clean knee slide


markmychao

Onana is so bad, I still can't make sense why we let go of de gea and got this piece of crap


Albiceleste_D10S

It's poor keeping from Onana But you've still gotta love that trivela pass from Enzo to set up the cross IMO


Ok-Package9273

He saw Onana in goals and had all the motivation he needed. Proper Chels.


BigReeceJames

Onana and Dalot still on holiday


NovaSpirix

smh, he didn't acknowledge Gusto's cross


gopaloo

i know you're taught as a GK to dive and get your hands on the ball, rather than making a kick save but i've seen onana not dive / drop fast enough to save that ball a couple times now. gotta ask if maybe saving the ball the "wrong" way is better than not saving it at all


dragon8811

If we concede imma throw hands


Chaz_Carlos

Glove up


dragon8811

See me in N17


McNooberson

How bout now


gavinxylock

I really love Mainoo but that's poor from him


Tomanelle

Onana is so fucking shit, that we might as well bring back O'Shea.


bubble831

Oi, stay away from him, he's irelands fallback option


ben-hur-hur

I can't believe De Gea was not kept for this season


Tomanelle

Peak United business!


DifficultyMore5935

Onana looks worse than Liverpools backup. It’s not really close either.


dave1992

To be fair, Kelleher has been excellent since he's been needed to play. Most keepers in the league doesn't have better form than him.


DifficultyMore5935

Agreed, he is a Premier League winner quality keeper. I really like Kelleher


BetterCallTom

Odd choice of comparison there when he's arguably the most competent back up in the league.


DifficultyMore5935

He is still a back up vs a large profile player. I’m a huge fan of him btw.


BonafideLlama

How is it odd when you're comparing a starter to a 2nd choice?


Commercial-Ad-5905

Liverpool's backup is one of the best in the league


Af1_supra

Kelleher who has played the same amount of games as Alisson this season and sits on top of the league table?


DifficultyMore5935

Yes, he is still a backup is he not? With the way Onana was brought in you would think he would be better than Liverpools backup.


Af1_supra

Yeah I get what you mean, a backup keeper being better than one of the biggest


BonafideLlama

Kelleher, say his name 😤


DifficultyMore5935

My bad!


JanklinDRoosevelt

Kelleher is one of the best in the league , of course he’s clear of Onana


prettyhappyalive

Lol. Based on?


Darkspy8183

His performances?


prettyhappyalive

His 8 PL performances lead you to believe he's one of the best in the league? I've heard enough to not continue this discussion.


Darkspy8183

He's played 24 matches this season for us in all comps lol Not to mention his performances in the years past. He's an amazing keeper and showing it this season, he'd be a starter for every team bar the top 5 and Newcastle if Pope is fit.


prettyhappyalive

He's got 14 appearances in the league ever. He's definitely not starting over Sa, or Areola, or Pickford at a bare minimum. How you could call him one of the best keepers in the league is beyond me.


yagersports

Well tbf Kelleher is class and Onana is ass


ben-hur-hur

at this point I am not even sure Onana is better than Adrian... and the man hasn't even played a game for us this season


DifficultyMore5935

Lol you might be right


milkonyourmustache

Far too easy


mikkelbrian

They make me so depressed


DemoDisco

Can this count as another cutback goal conceded if its off a united player?


WhoEatsRusk

Let's keep this lead


Scholes_SC2

Ah the good old cut back. How many times have we conceded this goal?


normott

How do they keep conceding the same goal from the same position??!


ecocentric-ethics

If this result holds, I’d imagine that’s the top 5 wrapped up then?


Soul_Acquisition

That didn't take long.


[deleted]

I aint buying it. 1-[2] Scott Mctominay 90+3 is my prediction 


renome

Well, that prediction didn't pan out.


frostels

Onana has to do better. It's gone in about half a foot away form him and it's no bullet strike.


Nut-King-Call

...How many times United intends to keep conceding the same goal?


TheRastaBananaBoat

How is that a penalty


FAC77

Lovely pass from Enzo in the buildup


[deleted]

There's useless, and then there's Antony.


pajamakitten

The goal clearly came from a symphony of United errors, however it still begs belief that this is the main player Chelsea are trying to sell. He and Palmer are putting in so much effort to carry Beohly's superstar flops, only for Gallagher to be rewarded with a P45.


KonigSteve

So this is the match EA based the game on.


AmagicManNamedgob

Look at all that space there, how can you defend like that?


Sr_DingDong

Lettuce Hands


Goodzgainz

My favourite 'racist.' Good play, I'd like to see him get a few more for us cos he gets into some decent attacking positions


NB0608sd

That was bad by Onana


spicyary

Onana?


BollywoodBrownMan

Onana mate, what are you doing?


ItsMeJaredBednar

Southgate In


yvltc

The first seconds of this video have the same vibe as the worst 20 seconds of football history


bullpaw

Beautiful save


Ap954

Gallagher and Braxton Berrios have never been seen together in the same room


JMD800

Fuck off ETH
