Brentford v Manchester United - PL 30/03/2024 8pm KO - Official Match Thread

Consistently bad.
Shambles again. Can't get the ball out of our area. Give the opposition 100 corners and dangerous free kicks. yeah why not. How bad we have been this season was almost swept under the carpet again by that ending but no, we even manage to £#%&! that up.

Top four

the same goal as well.

A cut back across the goal.

Happens so much yet somehow it’s not a coaching issue

yep. Diabolical defending. One of the most basic goals to concede on a football pitch. Another absolute horror show today. Pleased for Mount though and it was a great goal. I'd say today was probably the nail in the coffin for ETH.

This is so so bad for a team protecting a lead in the 99th minute

How are players afforded time to float in a cross unchallenged? Pluck the ball out the sky unchallenged? Cut backs to players completely unchallenged?

And we do it all the time.

Soon as I knew we'd be playing in stripes knew we'd be in trouble.

Not a cult.

Gary Neville: "I watched Man United at Brentford and, like everyone else, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It's very difficult to play that badly. I don't remember any moments from the match where they did something good."

"They [Villa and Tottenham] are going to dropping points, but if you look at the level of United you think not only will they struggle to get to fifth or fourth place, but they don't deserve it right now with what we're seeing."

"When Man United lose the ball, their reaction is non-existent compared to any other team I see. They are truly one of the worst teams you can see without the ball, when they lose possession, It's supposed to be about making it difficult for the other team."

Bruno, rashford, The Scottish Player. Never going to work defensively.

Absolutely spot on.
