in both games against palace and brighton our players look so fatigued and slow. i know some teams had a few friendlies but united literally had 1 game against villa in between our last official match and the start of the season, and the villa game was mostly reserve players. if the players dont pick up some form from these first few games this season is a goner. to top it all off we have had 1 transfer this entire window. what a nightmare | ||

So it's definitely a valid excuse for been so poor that Yanited only had one. | ||

Didn't the other PL teams have a longer pre-season because they didn't play in Europe. But still no excuses United look lethargic as fuck. | ||

A horrible coach I don't think he's horrible, but he's quite one-dimensional (and at this point it doesn't look like it'll ever change) and it's not really helped by the overall lack of experience in the team. | ||

Kepa is a poor keeper or lets say in hugely bad form but to put a 41 year old Willy in over him is quite baffling, Willy took a lifetime to dive for the first goal and the second goal he was all over the place, Kepa saves one of them easily imo. Oh well, more shit show second half to come, maybes somehow we can score 5 or 6 goals second half and win 5-4 or 6-5 lol. 3-3 it is even though we had chances, ahh what a shit show. Mendy please come play next game and so please Chilwell play! | ||

edit: I'd like to point out that the first one against Ward it looked like whoever the Everton player was couldn't go anywhere couldn't do anything deliberately kicked the ball at Ward at the appropriate height to try and get a penalty. (maybe that's not fair, we will never know his intentions) I really don't want to see that entering the game but it will start to if we give ridiculous harsh penalty decisions for handballs. Edit 2: And to Panda's comment about possession. I only watched the highlights and early on it was all West Brom goals. So yeah it's pretty hard to get the feel for what the game really looked like just from highlights sometimes. | ||

Fun last week of the transfer window ahead for Bayern I imagine with Flick asking for reinforcements since half a year ago. Right now the squad still has less depth than they had last season with a tighter schedule. That lack of depth is also starting to hurt Bayern II in the 3rd Bundesliga. | ||

To close no real chance for the defender to get out of the way and no intent to handle the ball. The first wasn't given (I feel correctly) the second was given (I think harshly) Then Calvert-Lewin handles the ball for Everton defending a Palace shot. It's from a lot further out so he has time to respond clearly moves towards the ball but his arms are by his side. I would call even that one harsh if it was given but having given a ridiculously harsh one already against Palace not giving that one seems totally unfair. I would be right pissed off if I was a Palace fan. edit: I'd like to point out that the first one against Ward it looked like whoever the Everton player was couldn't go anywhere couldn't do anything deliberately kicked the ball at Ward at the appropriate height to try and get a penalty.

So yeah it's pretty hard to get the feel for what the game really looked like just from highlights sometimes. This year's iteration of handball rule and its interpretation seems extra bad. That Ward one yesterday was never foul play, surely defenders can't be expected to try to dodge balls played towards them. | ||
