Crystal Palace v Manchester United - PL 06/05/24 8pm - Official Match Thread

losing 4-0 and we only managed one yellow card. Sums this lot up, a bunch naive little nancy boys who get £#%&!ing ragged about by the 'big lads' and then cry in the corner.

Years gone by that Eze and Olise would have been £#%&!ing smashed within the first 20 mins to let them know they aren't going to take the piss. But nobody laid a £#%&!ing glove on them all night. There's no self preservation or idea of what to do in any given moment, they're playing triangles out from the back when they're 4-0 down and giving the ball away again 18 yards out. It's braindead football. Our defenders getting tight on the halfway line and getting turned leaving acres in behind, midfielders just jogging alongside opposing players. They haven't the first clue how to stem the tide. They're set up like lambs to the slaughter there tonight.

Other than that i thought it was great.

he's clueless in his interview.

Everybody knows we have have injury issues, but 9 out of 11 from the starting line up were brought in by ten Hag, the 7 out of 11 that weren’t free transfers cost about 400 million and it’s simply not possible that this many injuries aren’t at least partly his fault.

The players he’s indentified aren’t good enough and they’re not playing for him. What more needs to be said really?

Of course. Well he can’t be honest can he?

the injuries may just be a result of how many games we played last season. but his selections and tactics are shit. and the players he's put his faith in call his judgement into question.

To be honest that’s part of the problem

Players get away with it

Imagine what would happen to those players in Italy off the back of this season and that performance tonight
The ultras would have stormed the dressing room to get at the players

The players wouldn’t be taking the piss if they feared the response of the fans

Good interviewer. Asking the right questions in the right way, without being a dick.

Feel for the guy. I hate when we get to this stage with managers and they just look broken.

They should be fearing the response of the club and manager, which they clearly don't. And that's been the case for some time, the tail has been wagging the dog at manchester united for far too long.

That's modern day manchester united. Turn up, play shit, go home. Next game get picked again, play slightly less shit, get paid, buy a rolls royce, go home. Manager %@#$&!s you, moan about it on social media and then sulk. Manager gets sacked, rinse and repeat.

Casemiro is on £350k a week and that, in a nutshell, is everything wrong with the current state of the club. He was the worst player on the pitch tonight by some considerable distance. A complete and total shit show. And he's earning a million quid a month.

INEOS have the biggest job on their hands since Alex Ferguson walked through the doors in 1986.

Perhaps. Who the £#%&! knows anymore? We’ve seen them cry off when they’re criticised on social media or the manager says they didn’t train well, so £#%&! knows what actual threat would do to them

Hopefully they just feel complete shame being applauded for that. Got to feel that’s part of it. Look! We’re clapping you. Confused? You £#%&!ing should be!

Tbf, they’ll probably have a ruddy good look in the mirror

we shouldn't give the ball away cheaply, but we do because of the stupid way we play ourselves into traps. it's no good saying it shouldn't happen or can't happen.

seems a good guy, eh? never accepts that his basics are wrong. individual mistakes happen. your plan has to allow for them.

Johnny Evans, in HIS words, "wasn't fit, only trained 2 days, wasn't ready - played 90 minutes"

Why? Don't we have U23's etc for nights like tonight? There was NOBODY at the club that could've played instead of a paralysed Evans?

Absolutely sick of these shambolic shows that have been so frequent. He says that we've not been beaten that comfortably in 2024 because we've not stopped playing for each other and we've "stuck to a plan" - when was Bournemouth at home?

Absolutely give up with this nonsense.

Could’ve tried Wan Bissaka at CB and Amb at LB. Could’ve tried Casemiro Wan B and Evans as a 3 with Dalot and Amb/Antont as wing backs. Could’ve tried Amad as a starter, could have given Bayinder a game. Could’ve tried lots of things.

Hasn’t

It's ridiculous. It really £#%&!ing is. Amad must be desperate to get away if EtH is still going to be here. Even without Rashford now, he still can't get a start. As has been said - if you play horrendously, you can still play the next game because you're one of EtHs faves. It's a £#%&!ing joke.

Fair play to Utd fans still singing at 4-0, we are lucky that wasn't 5/6 because they had some chances late on to make it even worse

Great players. Not just that, but they have that understanding between each other which none of our players have. They know what they’re going to try to do, whereas with our lot the ball gets randomly kicked in a direction in the hope that one of the others might be nearby to collect it. It’s a painful spectacle, there’s no joined up thinking.

Chances are though, if we do buy from Palace we’ll end up with the next Wan Bissaka. Genuinely one of the most appalling players we’ve ever had in terms of technical ability. It’s like he’s been challenged to mime Elvis Presley’s dancing while playing football.

They were brilliant again all evening, hats off to them. They didn’t deserve the shit that got served up for them.
