Wtf just happened?!

[-] 2000mph@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Imagine scenes after we destroyed Liverpool, just to be knocked out in Semi by Cov. 😅

Truly can't have asked for better draw though, first time glad to have Ian Wright help us out.

Holy fuck Diallo I can't fucking believe it!!!

[-] 2000mph@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

What a finish! Unbelievable!! Amad for the win!

[-] thisisdee@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

This is my first and probably only time I get to go to old Trafford. I just hope we play decent football.

[-] IbnLemmy@feddit.uk 4 points 5 months ago

Mate, I'm expecting a full match report from you. You bloody hit the jackpot.

[-] thisisdee@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

I was stupidly lucky. Only in town for 3 days, leaving 10am tomorrow, and this match got scheduled at the perfect time.

Honestly I’m not sure how to process the match. One thing I remember, everyone was frustrated at Rashy for not running and missing chances, and then Bruno for losing the ball too easily a few times. Defending is still shitty, feels like we’re too slow in closing down. First half was definitely frustrating in failing to get the second ball.

The last 10 minutes of the first 90 was amazing. Stratford End got loud and the team played well. I was shocked at Rashford’s miss. Last kick of the match, could have been an amazing day. Then it was just back to nervousness.

Extra time was a bit of a blur really. Lots of nerves and excitement, screaming and shouting. I honestly missed the red card and thought Amad somehow got injured when he walked off.

Today was one of the best days in my life honestly.

Fingers crossed you see a good game and a good result.

[-] thisisdee@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Thank you. The most amazing day!

[-] IbnLemmy@feddit.uk 4 points 5 months ago

I am content... 3-3...

[-] wesley@yall.theatl.social 4 points 5 months ago

Come on guys!! Keep up the pressure!!!

[-] 2000mph@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Wow what a last few minutes. Woke me up after the nap I managed to get for the previous 40 mins

He was offside in the end, so as good as it would have felt if that went in, it wouldn't have lasted.

[-] wesley@yall.theatl.social 1 points 5 months ago

I don't think we're talking about the same one? I don't think he was offside when he went one on one with the keeper and just barely missed on the far post

Could be wrong though!

[-] 2000mph@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Dialo made that goal. He tracked back to break up Liverpools last attack, then made the interception and made the run to give Rashford space. He's been great.

[-] wesley@yall.theatl.social 3 points 5 months ago

I'm liking what I'm seeing right now. A lot of good over/under lapping runs to get in behind the Liverpool defense.

[-] 2000mph@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

It's great, full backs are doing that well. Plus Maino and Mctominay. But I'm a bit worried just how often they both go forward leaving massive space in our midfield on the counter

[-] IbnLemmy@feddit.uk 3 points 5 months ago

40 minutes in. We just need to hold on till the half, and for the first 10 minutes of the half. It's where we have always been vulnerable.

[-] IbnLemmy@feddit.uk 3 points 5 months ago

For goodness sake... Did someone just run round Rashford again.

Can't believe Anthony's right foot got us back into this game 😂

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Fidget spinning a goal with his right foot to help knock liverpool out, transfer fee justified

[-] wesley@yall.theatl.social 3 points 5 months ago

Liverpool looking like they finally switched on. Need to show up for the second half

[-] 2000mph@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

To be fair we let them into the game.

I don't understand when we played out from the back we always take too many passes and wait for the entire Liverpool team to press to the edge of our box before we try to get it forward.

It's so dangerous and stupid. And we paid the price.

[-] wesley@yall.theatl.social 2 points 5 months ago

We're really poor playing out the back without Martinez. Our other CBs are just not very good at it.

[-] 2000mph@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Our number one goal poacher in the right place , right time again! Nice move. Surprisingly good start to the game.

[-] IbnLemmy@feddit.uk 2 points 5 months ago

Is Amad allowed to come back and celebrate??

[-] wesley@yall.theatl.social 1 points 5 months ago

Probably, I don't see why not

[-] 2000mph@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

What odds in the second half do you think I could get for this bet?

At least 3 United players to get frustrated and throw their hands in the air, and Liverpool to score 4.

[-] wesley@yall.theatl.social 1 points 5 months ago

Fuckin hell...

Falling apart before the second half

[-] IbnLemmy@feddit.uk 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Anthony gonna score a hatrick, Klopp is going to get a red card

[-] wesley@yall.theatl.social 1 points 5 months ago

Been a bitter season but that game was a treat. Fantastic performance and result

[-] ryan213@lemmy.ca 0 points 5 months ago

Who do I even follow this team?! Ugh.

[-] ryan213@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

That's why we love this team, idiot.
