nice angles of the goal. still no replay of the "fouls".

I’m not saying VDB or Matic are necessarily better players, but the system is so obviously flawed.

Need Lindelof as a CDM here to cover for Varane and Maguire being not 100%.

We look softer than Graham Norton in some giant Garfield slippers watching Netflix romantic comedies in the middle

Stats are misleading...

in a game like this one, our attacking midfielder should be picking up the ball , starting attacks, intricate passing.

Fred and The Scottish Player can’t pass for shit can they?

And why is the ref playing advantage when we haven’t got the ball?

The ref is a #@&%!.

God bless Fred he’s a trier but he’s just nowhere near good enough

So £#%&!ing sloppy

Both the absolute pits.

"they have to be aggressive" = foul under the ref's nose.

united "getting frustrated".. um.... by the ref ignoring fouls under his nose.

That’s the galling thing, Newcastle are getting whipped by all and sundry, we turn up with Ronaldo, Greenwood, Rashford and Bruno and do zip.
