not having a word said against shaw. soz.

They’re both shite In attack too. Telles has a decent delivery but dalot hits the cross bar once in his whole United career doesn’t make him a decent attacking player. Same with telles, first time I’ve seen a decent shot. He’s still shit. Both positions needs filling

What was he moaning about too? He’s walking to the monitor, which means he’s giving it.

In fact, can anyone recall a moment when the ref goes to the screen and doesn’t change their mind? They might as well not bother. VAR just overrule and save us all the hassle.

You can tell they’re not sure half the time and just watch it like a gif, completely out of context until they convince themselves. It’s like they’re watching the Zapruder footage. Back and to the left ….back and to the left…back and to the left…

shove in the back by xhaka on elanga. ignored. far worse than the penalty.

so the goal where he does a ronaldo jink outside and bends it round the keeper with his right foot was just in my imagination? (seems like some of it was.)

they're not great attackers, but they offer more in attack than defence. telles's delivery is actually quite good, but we don't see it enough. obviously, they're not good enough.

Yes they are essentially wing backs.

Oh wow

My mistake he scored some goal in an fa cup tie against league 2 fodder. Give him 5 more years

Bring back Darmian or Tyler blackett

no body is forgetting when a lot of you championed him replacing shaw

Dalot all over the place..

Both decisions were correct, unfortunately.

Cleaned out.

Ok.

Phrase it how you like, but Saka gets the touch, he’s away and Telles is nowhere near it and takes the man. it’s clean penalty and we’d be moaning like crazy if we didn’t get it. I’m more inclined to think the Elanga one is than this one isn’t.

Penalty.

Bruno taking it… 👀

Good spot that ref.

I wouldn’t have Bruno taking this

We disagree. No issue. Agreed 👍

Nah. Not having it. Coming together before the ball gets to him, both trying to occupy the same space. Never a penalty.

The Elanga one isn’t either though.
