    Just got home from the game. What an insane experience. The game got just about about everything. On the way home i’ve seen the red card. Definately looks untentionally and is probably debateable.

    Bjut, i’m not gonna lie. I am very happy with the result and it evens out some of the bad luckI feel Copenhagen has been hit with so far. I do feel bad for the United fans who watched the game in the stadium. Parken is truly the “theatre of nightmares” for them.

      Definately looks untentionally.

      The tackle was intentional for sure, he didn’t trip and fall with his leg landing on the other player. 🤣

      Sure he probably didn’t intend to hurt the player, but that doesn’t really matter when you are stamping on his leg nearly snapping it in half.

    Its interesting how United fell apart after red when you compare it to Spurs almost pulling it off with 9 players. Difference in mentality is insane.

    Gonna need therapy soon with all this shit lol

    Is it me or is the handball rule just dogshit now just kick a ball at the players hand then it’s a pen lol, but I suppose it’s more clearer than the PL handball rule

    First time this season I’ve seen rashford aggressively track back to try & retain the ball & Yet another bullshit red, I’ve seen more red card worthy tackles given as yellows in the last 2 weeks then we get this awful officiating no wonder there lookin for refs lmao

    Dalot was doing well then went to sleep again he’s done that a few times this season

    Awb as always recovered/saved us at the back probably our best player today

    Hojlund finally got service & got 2 hopefully he starts getting service in the league now too

    All in all, we should aim for europa, we ain’t good enough for CL atm

    Spending 60mil on mount instead of a cb has fucked us in def & won’t be surprised if he goes next summer as there’s no way he starts over fernandes

      I agree with all your points except the red, it’s a clear red according to the rules. Rashford looks at the player and then studs first stamps him high on the leg, without ball between. Clearly a red card all day long.

        So what should Rashford do to defend the ball in order to not get a red then, not much he could’ve done

      Is that what fans mean when they keep saying Hojlund needs “service” to score goals? He scored 2 tap ins that were on the goal line with no keeper in sight, is THAT what it takes for him to score goals?

    ETH not reacting to the red card AT ALL in the first half was baffling. Eriksen for amrabat should have been an obvious substitution as soon as rashford was shown red.

    2-0 up against fucking copenhagen, any decent CL side would have easily been able to see that out in a 4-4-1 parked bus.

    ETH was terribly slow to react and that resulted in United conceding their lead for 2-2 before half time.

    Anyone have a clip of Freddie ljungberg comments after the game? He was acting like fan and not a pundit, love to see it. Totally agree with his comments around VAR and reffing.

    I’m starting to understand the Rashford red a bit, and i’m easing off my initial reaction that that was a ridiculous call. Still, i think a yellow would have been fine there. The two penalties cancel, they’re both not good calls, but the penalty in united’s favor is more generous of the two. it’s too easy to penetrate united’s midfield

    We’ve lost every single CL game Rasmus Hojlund has scored in this season.

    Are his goals hurting Manchester United?

    I was in the staidum. United were sooooo slow to react, what the fuck 10Hag? Garnacho is annoying, same with Onana, and Bruno - get on with the game. After the 2-1, they played like Copenhagen did before the 2-1. Slow, disconnected, shit. That is not personel, its tactics, and 10Hag is responsible :)
