We have now scored 9 goals in the three rounds of FA Cup, all 9 are in the second half.

I wasn't shocked we won, while Utd have undoubtedly improved under Ten Haag, they've also been incredibly lucky during this run and given up a whole heap of chances. And we've been much better in recent weeks. When you play the way United play under Ten Haag and giving up the ball for large periods it's hard to dictate the game at the pace you want it to be. I was shocked at how much the players absolutely crumbled under the pressure though. Fernandes just lost the plot and was begging to come off laugh.gif Probably some naivety from Ten Haag to not shut up shop at 3-0.

Madness to think Liverpool have scored more goals and conceded less than Man Utd in the Premier League, yet Liverpool are going backwards and United marching towards the title if you'd read the media this week. Rio Ferdinand has a habit of opening his gob way too soon laugh.gif

I don't think anyone has suggested that Man U will win the title this year. That is clearly between Arsenal and Man Cheaty.

If Bournemouth hold on to that win yesterday, or even an Arsenal draw, the narrative completely changes. There's absolutely no way that a lot of Utd fans didn't think they had a sniff in the title race, despite what they may tell us.

I didn't think we were in the hunt in the title race, absolutely embarrassing performance today from us.

Think Ten Haag just got his tactics all wrong today and the players just couldn't cope under the pressure when it came down to it. These games happen and it's how you bounce back. I don't watch Utd as much as most people here, but in all the games I've seen they've always given up 2-3 really good chances in each game. A half decent team will always punish you (or even some terrible ones like what happened with Liverpool away from home fairly frequently this season!). Must admit, I did enjoy Martinez getting his backside handed to him all game. He couldn't scope with Salah at all.

Well at least we've become very accustomed to batterings in the past few seasons so it doesn't sting too much. But I'd be lying if I said it wasn't truly painful viewing that second half.

It's a reality check definitely, there would have been a small bracket of deluded fans saying we were in the title race but any level-headed fan knew otherwise. I still don't think top 4 is assured yet especially now, but can take comfort in the fact that Spurs & Toon have fallen off a cliff in recent weeks.

I have faith in the manager to react appropriately, but it's worrying that we've already had our asses handed to us 3 times under him which was a worrying trend under Ole as well.

The motd analysis was fascinating with the old bad habits under the surface. Not that Liverpool can say much this season but still think even one midfielder in the summer and getting that forward line purring again and they could be back in business if they get a bit of luck.

The BBC have started an interesting new podcast series called “How To Buy a Football Club”, which at the moment is focusing on the potential sale of Man Utd. It’s an interesting listen, especially for those of us who are interested in the financial aspects of the sale and it’s potential impacts.

Surprised he never got sent off for Madrid. An outstanding player of course but thought he had an aggressive side like Sergio Ramos.

I would love if we could put in, not an appeal but, a „wtf is this inconsistency“ given that the same tackle the day before, where the player didn’t get the ball wasn’t even a foul apparently 🙄


Knew we were screwed the minute that prick was drawn as the ref

Strange game. Fulham were the much better team and we looked like a team running on empty until a few crazy minutes turned the game on its head. Anyway another semi final booked.

Ultimately you're in the semi-finals, but as a product of Fulham losing their heads. I get the whole "winning" while playing badly, but this wasn't one of those games. It does look very much from a biased un-biased opinion the players are starting to run on empty, domestically at least.

Which is exactly why this international break couldn't have come at a better time.
