Somehow I feel even worse about this team after that win

Wow that was one of th luckiest deflections I've ever seen. And suddenly they have hope again and are going to play like hell to the end.

We never make it easy on ourselves

Expect us to pull out a win after a Bruno worldie in 90+3.

Mostly curious if we can keep Coventry to <20 shots.

Well, I did dream that United lost this game and Ten Hag got sacked, maybe I belong in a pool with other shaved headed people

Maybe not

Hey, at least this game isn't boring!

Are we officially a meme club now?

I just lost it when the commentator said "THE BIG HEAD OF HARRY MAGUIRE"

I'm actually expecting us to lose this one, hope I'm wrong just got a bad feeling, especially after the unexpected win in the last round.

Bloody hell

hogart@feddit.nu · 1 pts · 2y

Yet another setup as our back four. Casemiro as a CB pairing with Maguire? I'm too afraid to watch.

Glad to be proven wrong so far...

Edit. Well that was the kiss of death, I'll see myself to the door.

Not even a semi final has me excited. I just want this season to be over

I left at 3-0 and just came back to and saw the Coventry winner go in. Offside check taking place but criminal from ETH... How do you lose a 3-0

designated_fridge@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I turned off the stream when their winner went in. Missed the pens 😅

Onana decided to not save a deflection and then AWB stepped up to give away a penalty again, not much on ETH tbh

IbnLemmy@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 2y

If this were a one off, then I'd agree, but this happens all the time. There is something wrong in our setup.

If you lose one poker hand - you can blame bad luck but when you constantly fold a winning hand, then it's just a bad player.

Sounds cool, I am not disputing that we have been shit all season, but if you actually watched the match we have not done what we usually do, we slowed the game down and kept the game under control for around 74 minutes, then they scored after I think rashford stopped tracking his man and then the team collectively lost it's shit and all sense of composure and control went out the window.

And I have seen that happen under different managers too
