Roy Keane had a meltdown in Sky studio about an hour afterwards. 

Didnt like Maresca saying Utd were really good - thought he was taking the piss 😁and as for most in Utd team - tore them to shreds. To be fair Hojland is utter shite

Man, I remember how excited United fans were when they paid 70m or whatever it was for Hojland. They genuinely convinced themselves that they were getting the next future great striker despite his numbers being very underwhelming even before arriving.

We complain a lot about Nico Jackson but he’s MILES better than Hojland and only cost like 30m.

Was thinking the same last night ☺️ Jackson is no way near the complete forward,  but Hojland is like someone in the crowd who won a golden ticket to play up front for United- yet they stick with him

Again though Palmer cannot be the only one to carry the weight. He has been doing it for 18 months more or less before having an iffy spell the second half of this season. He has earned the right to have a few off days. He is needing a summer off to recharge for sure. And we need better quality attackers for sure. Likes of Pedro Neto, who I do like, but he is probably a very good squad player for most top clubs. Noni, Mudryk, Felix - all need to go. Nkunku as well will go. But we need quality attackers to compliment Cole.

Reece with his crossing ability playing inverted/as a central midfield is a tragic loss to this side. He looks so average with Maresca’s system - like many players - like it eliminates the chance for him to do what he does exceptionally well, deliver crosses in the final third. He can pass the ball well etc but you don’t want him ticking over keeping possesion, you want him stretching the game and playing crosses because he has got exceptional delivery. 

Ok the assist comes in a slightly more central area but under Tuchel in particular how many great assists/chances did he create from wider areas? Fitness always his issue true enough so thats why questions will always be asked but when he's fit he has to play as a right back and play more as an out and out fullback for me. He is never going to cut it as an elite full back playing in that inverted role because it negates so much of what he brought to this side in the past. 

Unfortunately, he was performing at a level that was far higher than anybody else in our team, which meant that others were under less pressure—or, maybe more accurately, that they weren't in the limelight. His and the team's decline just highlighted all of the problems we were previously aware of. Since it has been demonstrated that the unavoidable hot streak would eventually cool off and no one would be able to pick up the slack, reinforcements of a comparable calibre should have been signed throughout the summer to assist him. What may have happened this season if Osimhen and a good AM/WF had been signed instead of Felix, who was a pointless acquisition.

I feel like I would be more disgruntled about James' current position had we had a physical presence to get on the end of his best attribute, crosses. Aside from the goal coming from one moment of magic, we were whipping in crosses whenever the chance arose to effectively no one. I'd like to think that this position will be permanently filled by someone else should Maresca remain with James possibly being pushed further afield, as no matter what people say, a fully fit James should have a starting berth without question.

Bad result today. I personally cannot see us winning at Forest now with them something to play for. They will come out of the traps and put pressure on us and you know Maresca will have us playing for a draw until 65 mins and try and win it in the last 25 mins.

Villa beat Utd. You're on crack if you don't think Utd roll over for that one...just look at how they've been prior us and the bye they have Vs. Spurs midweek..

Wonder if Bournemouth can pull off another scalp this season and get 3 points vs City. 

Ideally, we were all hoping West Ham got a point vs Forest but it wasn't meant to be. 

Then you'd have must watch tv on the final day. 

Newcastle vs Everton
Forest vs us
United vs Villa
Fulham vs City
