The only mistake is Lingard instead of James. Hardly contributed anything except running blindly. Since he had been targeted to leave OT why even use him cos he is simply useless for the longest of time

Lampard is trying to play mind games by calling Bruno a cheat and also suggesting that we were always favored by VAR :mad: I hope we thrash them 4-0 again to shut him up

We just need to play our own game and be positive against Chelsea in the FA semi.
If we sit back, we will be punished by the Blues.

Btw watching a nice FA semi between Arsenal adn MC.
The Gunners leadjng 2-0 with 70mins gone

Like their games vs Liverpool, Arsenal defence look rock solid.
Both their goals came from quick breakaway as MC dominated possession

Yup. Good defending works against MC and very impressed with Myland- Miles too

Arsenal into the finals after winning 2-0.
The defence won the game for them

Done.
A win for Arteta over his ex boss, Pep.
The commentator put it well, an Apprentice over the Sorcerer.

Let see how we perform against Chelsea in tonight's semi

We are level on points and goal difference with Leicester as of now as spurs are leading 3-0 at the moment but they are leading us on goals scored with 67 to our 63

I meant the full tables with goals scored and conceded. Anyway I found it and amended my post.
For today’s match OGS has shuffle the pack going for a 5-3-2 formation :eek:

The table I linked showed live all the goals scored for and against for all teams

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Baily, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Williams, Matic, Fred, Fernandes, James, Rashford.

Subs: Romero, Pogba, Mata, Martial, Pereira, Fosu-Mensah, Ighalo, Greenwood, McTominay.

Final score Spurs won 3-0
They certainly did an Arsenal, parking the bus ala JM style

Shit my subscription doesn’t includes FA cup :eek: Any link to see the match ?

Classic JM park the bus and swift clinical counters

We just have to concentrate on our last two league games.

Btw Watford sacked N.Pearson with 2 games left. Will it come back to haunt them?

Lately we have always seem to be starting the game on the backfoot and lacking any penetration.
Yet most pundits predict we will win this match

For the first 30mins very negative play by the lads and they have yet to take an attempt on goal

Pretty long treatment for Bailly head injury after clashing with HM, hope it is not that serious cos he was all strapped up onto the stretcher

Poorly let in goal by us.

Wonder why the VAR did nothing for the Martial contact with Zouma:rolleyes:

A very boring first half and rightfully Chelsea takes the lead after a scrappy goal. For me DDG was poor to protect the tame shot

Another terrible mistake by DDG. Trailing 0-2

Damn poor concentration for both goals conceded.
Romero should have started since most of the FA games he played
But we can already guessed that at the end of the game, Ole will still give him full support

I think Ole is making another mistake in trying to rescue a game lost by DDG. He is now bring Pogba and Greenwood into the game instead of focusing on the top 4 position in the league. Of course I would love to see us going into the finals, but we need to be realistic.
But throughout the game, Frank Lampard side is committing lots of fouls on our players esp on BF

Poor selection to start with, allowing Chelsea to grow in confidence as the game progresses.

And yes surprised to see Romero not playing.

Sorry to say, Game Over
It should be a rude awakening for Ole cos such defeat can cause ripple effects for our last two games.
That is why I am surprised he brought in Pogba and Greenwood to rescue a lost cause,

3-1 was the final score. We scored from a BF penalty
We certainly deserved to lose as most of our players played far below par. Yes after conceding 2 tame goals DDG made some good saves, but his lost of concentration demoralised the team

What a poor and disappointing match. So many things went wrong.

OGS' mistake to change the formation, why play 3 at the back when they only had Giroud. This disrupted the 4-2-3-1 formation that the team was used to.

Poor passing, less energy than Chelsea, no movement up front, poor performance from many players. individual mistakes.

Lindelöf too weak could not hold off Giroud for the first goal. The other day he could not handled Obafemi for the equaliser.

Williams played a terrible cross field pass leading up to the second goal. What is blunder by De Gea letting in a soft shot for the second goal.

A match to forget.

The squad needs to be strengthened in the summer as some of the players are not good enough when the first eleven are not playing.

This is a wake up call for the last two matches against West Ham and Leicester.

A disappointing result but games are coming thick and fast so the boys have to pick up and go again for the last 2 PL games and also the Europa to look forward to. We really need to clinch a CL spot for next season.

Looking at the table as long as we avoid defeats for our last 2 games 2 points will see us thru...but of coz we would rather the team blaze thru the games and clinch the spot confidently...GGMU :)

I should say the FA cup was the least of our concern now.

We should focus on finishing at least 4th on the table, and win the Europa cup.

Last night game really CMI. Seems like the United of old (the one that was under LVG, Mou). Passing sideways and passing back to the keeper.

DDG really missed the 2nd goal. The 1st and the 3rd was abit unlucky.

But our forward line is clueless whole day. The inclusion of James for Greenwood did not helped abit. Rashford was like a lost soul too.

Bailly had 2 clashes of head yesterday. How often does this happen in one match. He has suffered from injuries and now he's out injured again. Hope he doesn't become Jones the second.

We have to be very careful of westham as they are scoring for fun in their last few matches

Honestly I feel he does not protect himself whenever he goes for challenges. Really those dare-devil style but unfortunately to his detriments. He should learn not to be too reckless.

Next game vs West Ham. Our defence must be strong and not be bullied by their strong striker Antonio (esp VL).
Win and we are almost there cos we then can afford a draw game in the last game of the League with Leicester.
Chelsea still have 2 tough games before the end (Liverpool and Wolves)

Basically Chelsea game against Liverpool and Wolves may be easy due to the fact that both opponents have nothing to play for already.

Our game against WH may be difficult due to the fact that Moyes is returning and he may wanna wreak havoc to his former employers for letting him go too early.

Let's see how Ole handle the West Ham game. He is now under tremendous pressure to deliver the positive results. JM is also trying to mess up Ole's mind by claiming Spurs did us a favour by beating Leicester.
Unfortunately for Ole, we only have our starting 11 to rely upon. Even with the starting 11, not all are playing well too. And to compound the problem, all the others on the bench are at best average players who may shine in one or two matches. This though is my personal opinion

Stop playing with 3 centre backs and we should be ok.

But our centre backs are really slow.

We need a fast central defender to partner HM, Tuanzebe is the best choice, but he is like another PJ always injured

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Fosu-Mensah, Williams, Maguire, Lindelof, Matic, Pogba, Fernandes, Greenwood, Rashford, Greenwood.

Subs: Romero, Mata, Lingard, Fred, Dalot, James, Ighalo, Wan-Bissaka, McTominay.

We are playing the same formation as West Ham

West Ham leads from penalty after PP handball.
Hope he recovers from this setback

Wan Bisaka replaces Mensah for the 2nd half. It was his reckless tackle that gave the free kick and lost of concentration on the part of PP gave West Ham the penalty
