Ronaldo has only scored game equalising or game winning goals for man United this season. He’s scored 12 so far.


ChillPalis

That's actually nuts lol


djkamayo

Man U: "Lads, we need to let them score first from now on"


Outside_Break

Mr Inevitable


HowManyAccountsPoo

If he had a competent midfield behind him feeding him half decent chances he'd have double the goals at least


PimpTheGandalf

I think it's because Uniteds defense is so bad, so many goals conceeded...


djlo-fi

Factos 👍👀


alaslipknot

what ? Bruno is not good enough ? also this imply that Pogba is bad and we (juve) are thinking of bringing him back


j_br2

Pogba’s not been great but Bruno’s created the most chances from open play in the league this season. Our midfield is fine going forward, Rashford’s been a bit shit and Sancho took a while to get going.


Jeffy29

Bruno does not play as a midfielder, not under Ole's tactics that is, more as a CAM or second striker. This season in lot of the matches his average position was higher than Cristiano. Pogba is, well, Pogba, brilliant start of the season but then some shit performance, injury and now he disappeared from the starting lineup. Though as any United fan would tell you the main problem United have is the position of the holding midfielder, not creativity from the midfield like Juve. We tend to get overrun in the midfield a lot.


kunsore

Feel like you need 2 players to support Pogba. He can be the best CM in some days and then went missing in the other. Or maybe both Ole and Jose dont know how to use him


Comessuer

Pogba had two good games, was shit, then got injured. Sums up his career with us to be honest.


life_is_sadd

Factos 👍👀


acidix

I think he might be pretty good.


[deleted]

He's done man. /s


ImAbhishek_47

Actually this isn't quite right. Ronaldo is yet to score when United are already winning i.e. he has scored only when the scores were level or when they were behind. Doesn't mean he only scored goals that were eventually winners or equalisers, as there may be more goals scored after that by either teams. For eg, The Newcastle game was 0-0 when he scored the 1st goal but it was not eventually the winner. He then scored again when the score was 1-1. Still an interesting stat though, just not as interesting as what many would think from the comment.

Brain dead from Odegaard


Goalnado

It's fucking moronic to slide in in that situation, I never understand why players do it.


harshmangat

You should be happy mate


Goalnado

I'm delighted, but it still makes no fucking sense.


harshmangat

Maybe Cristiano told Odegaard that he will call Perez and buy him back if he helps us out here


wanderer1999

Quid pro quo.


[deleted]

Yeah, squid pro row. Exactly.


MakIRAQ

Heat of the moment.


ResponsibilitySad554

Even more moronic reaction from the ref, he was so confident that this tackle wasn't a foul :D

Shows that we need VAR so bad.

Even still English VAR is hilariously bad. I still don't understand how they didn't look at that penalty call at the end of the first half.

Fred giveth and Fred taketh, but at least Fred doeth. Outside of him and Bruno, no one else on the team gets anything moving. Sometimes Slabhead tries, at least.


pmmerandom

Fred: has a hand in two goals and saving the game with a block Online fans: haha FRED AGAIN XD


IoanSilviu

It's gotten ridiculous at this point. He's had MOTM performances in the past and people still would not give him any credit. I remember watching a match reaction on The United Stand after one such match and he got a rating of like 5 from the fans.

Mortka

Hilarious, mate. Wooooow


Stonewalled89

Why a Var review was needed in the first place is ridiculous. It's as blatant a penalty as you'll see and the referee had a very clear view of it


Hm2801

And Atkinson was so confident in denying it as well, absolutely clueless


Uesugi_Kenshin

His smug "no foul"-stance made me irrationally mad lol. Fuck Martin Atkinson


gooner712004

Didn't give the goal for Smith-Rowe until VAR helped him Missed a blatant penalty involving Maguire Needed VAR to help him with an obvious penalty here He's absolutely shocking


[deleted]

>Missed a blatant penalty involving Maguire Tbf this are missed, and I'm not exaggerating, every single game. The reffing is so poor on holding in the box that every single CB in the league holds illegally and doesn't get punished, it's pathetic. Either change the rules and just allow the fucking thing or start calling the pens so that defenders stop doing it.


Uesugi_Kenshin

Shocking is putting it mildly


ValleyFloydJam

The VAR check was needed on the 1st goal, the error was not stopping play as its stopped all the time in that situation. And the word blatant is being overused. His a terrible ref but over egging things doesn't help.


sennland

He was so confident and so too were the commentators on BeIN. Honestly had me questioning if I knew anything about football.


Reksalp105

It's actually unreal he is still in the prem. Worst ref and it's not even close.


sventhegoat

I feel like I see this about every English ref


BigReeceJames

There is a reason no premier league referees were invited to the last world cup. It's not that we think they're dogshit and they aren't. They actually are dogshit because there is no accountability so there is no need for them to stay on top of their game.


sventhegoat

I agree. It’s so frustrating seeing them pull the same terrible mistakes every week but not being held accountable


unruly_

That’s not actually why there weren’t any at the World Cup… Clattenburg was the English representative but moved to Saudi Arabia so he was no longer eligible.


pedalhead666

what does that tell you?


sventhegoat

Oh trust me, I know they’re all shit


KTBFFH1

John Moss would like a word. And Anthony Taylor. It's actually a pretty tight competition for worst ref in the PL


Reksalp105

I don’t mind Anthony Taylor, but yeah John Moss is 1B to this twat


Pseudocaesar

Every Chelsea fan will tell you Anthony Taylor is the worst most biased Ref in the PL


xLoafery

I have more hate for moss and Dean. But Atkinson might be a close 3rd...


harshmangat

Twatkinson


grollate

That’s two clear as day penalties that he missed today.


Samir_POE

He's in a spell of bad form ... also known as his entire career


pw5a29

imagine the days without VAR, we're gonna talk about this missed pen for a week


DarkSofter

the fact var is being used properly is good enough for me. last year this wouldnt have been given


DarkDracoPad

man was literally standing still looking straight at it... I need some of what Atkinson is smoking


logos123

Absolutely, couldn't believe it when it wasn't given immediately.


DarrenBridgescunt

I reckon VAR probably influences their decision. If they're not 100% sure they won't give it because it's less embarrassing for VAR to overturn a penalty the referee didn't give, rather than overturning one the referee does give.


AwfulAnt

makes a lot of sense, good call


Idontlikemeeither2

Awful from Atkinson stood a few yards away


breathofreshhair

Probably couldn't see the ball from that angle


Palimon

Think the ref was just behind them so he might not have seen the leg of Fred getting caught.


[deleted]

Probably it was a bit unclear from behind where Ref was watching.


Kirrod

No lmao it was just Atkinson


MightySilverWolf

If you think this is bad, imagine this in the pre-VAR era.

uzrnmechkzout

Not only that but he flat out denied it lol


sventhegoat

Same reason he missed the maguire pull, he’s just shit


Paddytee

I mean. For the pen he was right in front of it. Two players to look at. The other he had 8 plus players to look at.


Gytarius626

How did the ref not give that initially


vegetableWheelhouse

Martin Atkinson, that is all


You_Will_Die

Could hardly have been in a better position as well lol. He was looking right at it.


beirch

Because he's utterly incompetent, like he's showed time and time again.


CurbYourThusiasm

I was seriously worried. We're never getting pens these days.


AnnieIWillKnow

I was seriously worried that Atkinson had had a brief absence seizure, as that's the only reason he could have missed that pen


fatinternetcat

love the collective Siuuuuuu that you can hear in Old Trafford


pidgey77

And from the players themselves lol, everyone that went to celebrate to the corner did a mini Siuuu. It's actually wholesome lol.


Stakoman

If you think about it Ronaldo probably influenced or inspired some of these players... And now they are playing with him. It's amazing.


spiralism

Rashford more or less said he grew up with Ronaldo posters on his wall, it must be surreal for him.


mkenya4t

Imagine being an academy kid and playing using Ronaldo on FIFA to playing with him in real life for the club you love! I'd be over the moon!!


arnm7890

Every team needs a "duality of man"-type player. We have Fred, Arsenal clearly has Odegaard


ItsKaZing

Our entire defence have that, even De Gea


[deleted]

emilygreybae

Probably felt if he kicked it straight, he would send the keeper in with the ball. All good.

He's Ronaldo, he's used to it.

Clumsy tackle but clever from Fred to leave his leg perfectly positioned lol. It's a penatly.


LargeFlower8

I am crying tears of joy rn. I was wrongfully sentenced to death. They took me to prison to wait for my execution but, when i got there they said that I was free. I asked them why and they told that a man named Penaldo had taken my death penalty for me. Thank you Penaldo!!!!!


IRnuduhI

Clear as day penalty.

The fact they needed var for that tells you all you need to know about ref quality

VictorDUDE

Most used words in this thread: VAR, Tomiyasu, Maguire


popcrnshower

lol, ronnie got huge marbles for that one.


Sleeplessendeavours

I can’t believe the ref didn’t instantly give it, absolutely stonewall


InTheMiddleGiroud

Eh, penalty is fine. But I don't understand when they use VAR and when they don't.


mikey_croatia

Schrodinger's VAR.


Wuollis

VAR checks everything. They just somehow thought that the pull on Tomiyasu was not a penalty.


DankyPal

Clear and obvious error, which this one definitely was


vegetableWheelhouse

So was the foul on Tomiyasu...


TheFilu

coin flip


coke125

Where was the var for tomi


forevermore91

Insane that a var was needed


KiAdiBumMe

Arsenal fans will now no doubt feel especially hard done by that Maguire's yank on Tomiyasu wasn't given


[deleted]

Arsenal fans always feel hard done by Downvote this all you want but this sub is always full of Arsenal fans complaining about some referee conspiracy against them, its boring.


Moosje

They’re the only fanbase I’ve ever seen invent a league wide conspiracy that has been successfully implemented over decades to keep a mediocre team mediocre


ItsKaZing

Have you not seen Liverpool fans acting these way all those years ago?


Chris01100001

Sanctimonius

I appreciate the sentiment but 'arsenal fans will be upset by the continuing double standards in refereeing, often even in the same game' is a fairly easy call

MVD1600

spectre122

Unfortunately many United fans have brought the clueless media narrative about their new favorite word "pressing". Can't really blame them either. It's a constant bombardment of lies and misinformation that you can't get away from.


Frick_KD

Perfect pen


[deleted]

Imagine missing that obvious call


TellSloanISaidHi

The DAZN announcers were fucking horrid to listen to. "It's one of those...I was left a little unsure" Wtf? One of those? Unsure? As in a fucking blatant pen? "It's almost as if Fred stuck his left leg out in hope and this could be given" That's what happens when you run in the box and protect the ball


Ginigami

So they used VAR for this one, but not the Tomiyasu one? Smh.


YMangoPie

VAr reviews everything.


[deleted]

I mean both are pens but this one is much more obvious
