Did you see Ronaldo 'tracking' back then? Half arsing it. Great player but ...

Now I've said that he'll score for sure!

Look, Ralph has really turned them around after their little covid “winter break”.
Grabbing a draw with a Cavani mis kick/ own goal from the 2nd last placed team who were unlucky not to win isn’t a bad result even if they were well rested.

Rumour has it that that 10 of their players have tested positive to Pudding21 and that’s why they didn’t play well.
Its being reported Man Utd officials are furious that the game wasn’t postponed , as they were disadvantaged having recorded so many Pudding21 positive cases which affected their performance .

Look. Not going to piss take United as I know the United fans on here can't take a bit of fun ...

Having watched that game I'd be really really worried. How many weeks rest? Absolute joke of a performance against one of the worst teams in the comp. Shocking.

Look at what Conte did with Spurs after a few weeks of rest? He's got them flying atm, playing with purpose. It was like watching an under 6s game there for parts of it Man United. Just lacked any real direction. Shocking.

De Gea. Hats off to you son. Playing out of your skin.

Bruno. Another terrible terrible performance. Thought he was the worst on the pitch that first half, especially considering he's supposed to be the superstar and leader.

Let's not try and erase just how bad Newcastle are travelling here. They're in shocking form.

Lost their two best players to injury during the game too! Missed an asbolute sitter of a goal. Ronaldo shoud've been sent. Shouts for a penalty or two against United.

What has Ralph been doing these past few weeks?

Have jumped over to the United thread to see some blaming Covid ... look, no doubt it has an affect but just look at that first half. The lack of desire. The absolute dire play.

Nothign to do with Covid. Just shit.

For those United fans using the old "we haven't played for weeks" excuse ...

Have a look at Spurs and how they played against Liverpool. They went at us that first half. Should've scored more too. Passion. Desire. Thirst. Used the break to their advantage.

United? Fucking hell. That first half was dead set worse than Ole at his peak. Terrible. Devoid of any direction. Headless chickens. Defence all over the place.

Dreadful.

But, yeah ... It was having a few weeks off before the game which was the problem ... Fucking hell lol

maybe a lot of these United players just aren't as good as their billing... this is Rangnick's 4th game in charge and for 3.5 games it is hard to discern any noticeable change from when Ole was in charge... at some point you have to look at the players as the common denominator in years of United's poor displays

We’ve been speaking up about their players shortcomings for a while now, and have had performance and results to back up their shortcomings .
What we’ve heard in return by a minority few is excuse after excuse after excuse. We even been labelled as trolls and had a campaign to have LFC fans banned from the Man Utd forum because they don’t like reading some truths .
They prefer to read rubbish like “you don’t need to a midfield to win games” :hushed:
Have you read the latest excuse as to why Man Utd were rubbish against Newcastle?
Pudding21, a rare virus that is only transmittable around Xmas time and only Man Utd players can catch it. :tearsofjoy:
man Utd we’re very happy to have their matches postponed so Ralph can “whip them into shape” and implement his philosophy. Well they played terrible .
We’ve had people refer to Ralph Ragnick as Klopp’s father and the godfather of geggenpressing yet the guy has never managed to coach a big club in his entire career prior to his latest appointment.I’m not saying he’s a bad coach but he has ZERO runs on the board successfully coaching a bigger club.
I’ll call it now, he won’t get them in the top 4 and he will be moved a side at some stage citing “stress issues”.

Conte has improved Spurs, Ralph hasn’t improved them yet.
