lee mason is such a fat @#%&!, they've put him on permanent var.

that was played by the defender, not just a deflection.

wasn't a great goal, though. would hope we'll score a better one before ht.

blatant penalty.

Who £#%&!ing knows or cares anymore?

They £#%&!ed up the law and every attempt they’ve made to fix it has been a case of digging themselves out of a hole.

That’s a trip

lee dixon says no.

You’d say that was a penalty under usual circumstances. Var is more inconsistent than the inconsistent refs it was meant to help

Not a chance it’s going now, all part of a ploy to introduce adverts during games imo.

I see we’re determined to make hard work of these

ffs, malacia. dave saves.

Ffs Shaw!

What the £#%&!

Decent enough build up, but maybe try hit the target, boys.

14 shots. 1 on target.

It always worries me when Utd play later on in a Cup weekend & there's been no giant killing so far.

Need to get out it wide a bit quicker.

Casemiro was fouled from behind before the reading player gets the ball.

Also the offside, weghourst was nowhere near the ball, the defender played the ball that’s when he goes and challenges for it?

Leeds beat Accrington Stanley earlier.

I have no idea what the offside rule is tbh.

If the Salah one v Wolves was within the laws, then this one was never offside in a million years.

Frustrating match
It’s never easy unless you get an early goal to break down a team that negative

I think our approach play has been really good
We’re not getting frustrated having optimistic shots from distance but working the ball in behind the Reading back line

Antony has been really good and Weghorst offers a lot as both a focal point for the attack and the first line of the press
Not sure what ETH has done with AWB, looks a completely different footballer when we have the ball

Just keep patient and the goals will come
Playing like this they’ll be £#%&!ed in the last half hour

Am I blind. They said weghourst gets the next touch. I swear it hits off the defenders heels and when that happens he is onside?

I need to get my eyesight checked

Roy Keane needs to relax. Becoming a parody of himself getting angry and spouting “Keane-isms” at any little thing he can

This. I think the centre halves can pass the ball off quicker, especially Maguire, who seems intent on taking the extra touch or extra second to play the same ball he should have done anyway.

Oh, and hit the £#%&!ing target.

According to Keane, we should just get the job done.

Cheers for that, Roy.
