and there is NO way 5 minutes should have been added on

insanity

no VAR, no goals, no injuries

[lucio 5,418]

The season is done , we are a 2nd rate team with a 3rd rate coach , we will be lucky to finish 8th

[Jase 43,479]

4 points behind United and have played a game more. Solskjaer is supposedly shit as well...

[Special Juan 28,148]

You will never see a more luckier team than this United lot...

Fucking jammy bastards

[Milan 17,959]

Ole's United. He was supposed to get the boot, wasn't he? Well guess what, he is 2 points behind Liverpool. And I refuse to comment on their position in relation to Chelsea.

[Vesper 30,232]

I cannot believe this shit

[Special Juan 28,148]

They are that lucky they could actually win the league.

[milka 3,393]

they will get fucked by PGMOL

[Vesper 30,232]

remember that game last season, or maybe was Sarri

should have been 10, 11 minutes

crazy amount of injuries, goals, VAR, etc etc etc

one injury alone was like 6 minutes, in front of the goal if I recall correctly

and I think we got 3, maybe 4 minutes added on

[Vesper 30,232]

I think it was against Ajax, maybe, not sure

BUT that game reverso-world went into my head when I saw 5 minutes go up for Manure

and it literally gifted them the fucking win

Theyve literally gone from bottom half to second

 Know had some decisions and whatever but still! They're definitely top 4 unless something goes wrong again.. he's turned it round.

And all this ooo Arsenal..theyve shot up. Such a tight league atm

[Vesper 30,232]

there were not even any long drawn out subs

Shaw was at HT

Martial ran on instantly for Greenwood 2nd half

Wolves only used 2, and both were instant run-ons

and the last Manure sub was AFTER the goal

 

    Match ends, Manchester United 1, Wolverhampton Wanderers 0.

90'+7'        Second Half ends, Manchester United 1, Wolverhampton Wanderers 0.
90'+6'        Paul Pogba (Manchester United) wins a free kick on the right wing.
90'+6'        Foul by Maximilian Kilman (Wolverhampton Wanderers).
90'+5'        Substitution, Manchester United. Scott McTominay replaces Bruno Fernandes.
90'+4'        Goal! Manchester United 1, Wolverhampton Wanderers 0. Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) left footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom right corner. Assisted by Bruno Fernandes.

fucking joke yet again

they CAN win the league if they keep getting gifted points like this by ultra corrupt PGMOL

who needs talent or luck when you can do this and get away without even a real VAR review?

 

[OneMoSalah 8,886]

Some cracking goals by Leeds tonight v WBA. Would Bielsa come here and manage us if it came to it 😉?

lol, true

Jorginho is a fraud with pens now

so many cunts and the absolute corrupt boost and aid and thus points they are getting

it is ruining the integrity of football

Here's the thing though - we aren't the finished article right now and it would be asking a lot for us to win it this season, BUT is it asking a lot for us mount a title challenge at the very least? Given how the season is panning out, I don't think it is over the top to maybe expect that.

I was all for Lampard managing expectations when the title talk happened weeks ago but looking back at some of the comments, he didn't even think we could at least give the challenge a go, never mind winning it. Then when the bad results came, he went all "I told you so" and there was plenty of self-fulfilling prophecy going on. 

We had a similar rebuilding of the squad 7-8 years ago and in Mourinho's first season back then, he knew that we didn't have quite enough to win it but he still made sure we gave the title challenge a good go. We finished that 2013/14 season just 4 points behind Man City and we could have even won it had maybe one or two things gone our way. But now? It's like Lampard is not even trying to embrace the challenge, try to set the challenge for the players to achieve. We might not win it but at least set the challenge for the players to test and challenge themselves, give them the confidence and motivation. Plus, they also need the experience to be involved in a title race. Instead, it feels like we have missed an opportunity and are now scraping to finish in the Top 4...again.
