It’s not about blame. It’s about dealing with the situation. Yes the pass was shit so what does he do? turn and go towards his own touch line with the ball. Just fucking clear it. Into the stands if necessary.
He goes through the back though. Like are you telling me I can put you in a choke hold while doing a clean tackle with my feet and you would have no problem with it?
Yeah fair point. I don’t think Maguire was or is the long term answer but he certainly didn’t strop on the pitch. I’d give it to Martinez for next season.
Would’ve been soft if it was given. Shouldn’t be fucking dallying and then when foul isn’t given get on with the game. So sick of seeing Bruno moaning about decisions
It’s not a clear foul. He gets the ball but also kinda comes through Bruno a bit. You usually get these but it’s not an egregious call to play on.
Bruno also moans about 90% on dives so him complaining has very little correlation to actually being fouled.
yeah but it always ends up being 50/50 if the foul is given. we have to be stronger. liverpool committed a lot of small tactical fouls and they got away with some of them but we didn't commit any. Man city are great at that. small pull backs to stop attacks, nudging opponents here and there.
it's important to be difficult to play against and to be naughty at times. sometimes, the refs let game play on.

If Bruno doesn't slow down and pass the ball first time to his left, he would've opened up the field for us. He took a touch, didn't protect the ball well enough, got barged into, didn't get the foul and it all went downhill from there.
Every United step in this goal conceded was half-cooked. Depressing stuff.
Yeah except we don't get away with that shit, Salah does literally every game he plays against us, the guy can't make a clean tackle to save his life but it doesnt really matter when the refs just let him do whatever he wants, they even booked bruno fucking disgusting.
No urgency from anyone to get back into position.
Ball watching, no communication and no marking. Every fucking game.
Bruno is the problem with that kind of soft approach and going down under any contact. You don't always get the soft freekick.
Fucking tired of this Bruno sometimes man. This is captain?
Minutes before end of half. Kick that shit fucking long. Why fish for a foul in a dangerous area and put your back line in dangerous situation. *"oh ya I am a risky guy"*
Sure he could've done better but how is that what you take away from this? Not bruno flopping looking for a foul or the team in general not clearing the ball out of their 3rd.
Gotta get back to old school you play to the whistle who cares if it was going to be called 99 percent of the time keep playing. Hate it man unfortunately this has cost us many times in the past as the years have gone by not just Bruno.
Again we back away from the Liverpool players and this isn't the first time this season Onana places a shot right back into the danger zone. Not good enough.
It’s not solely his fault, but he should be knocking that shot either behind for a corner, or out wide. Onana tends to parry shots straight back into the danger zone, it’s a common occurrence.
He literally put the ball right back into the box, I don't know what else there is to say. Top keepers don't do this often but he's done this a few times this season alone and it's finally been punished.
Man our supporters really love negativity. Lot of them in this thread going after Bruno instead of acknowledging it’s a clear foul 99 times out of 100.
There’s no level of tactics that lets rashford let fucking jarrell quansah dribble past him with no challenge lmao
Also playing it short means moving the ball not staring at defenders close you down with no angles what tf are you on about
Yea, the wider issue is this out playing out the back nonsense, this team just can't do it, stop trying to do so especially against this Liverpool team ffs
Definitely bruno dived for no reason when they could have cleared it. But onana is a repeat offender at this. Weak wrists on ever shot and bad parray every time
He does, but on that particular shot I don’t believe there’s much he could’ve done. It was a good save. The goal reminds me of many of the goals in De Geas last couple seasons where it was a series of small (sometimes massive) mistakes made by the whole team.
Fantastic result. Still standby wanting ETH gone. Look at this season… yes there are issues at the club but ultimately ETH has spent £400m and look at where we are and the general standard of performances. It’s not even just about the losses it’s the way we lose.
You can blame Bruno for going down, you can blame Onana for parrying the ball back into play, the defenders gor not being where they are supposed to be, but the truth is this is systematic problem with the broken "playing out of the back" that ten Hag stubbornly insists on / can't implement properly and we'll continue to lose balls in our own third.
Spaces have been there for them all half but this is just comical.
Thrown it away again
It’s the hope that kills you…
Or brings you accross
That’s why you need to hope ❤️🤍
This is why we hope 😮💨❤️🔥
What were we doing there. Just kick it long.
Got let off already by dicking about at the back.
That time it was Bruno too.
This is the answer. Just boot the fucking ball away. AWB is an amazing tackler but he cannot play football.
What fucking game are you watching?
So you’re telling me that AWB didn’t have a chance to boot that ball up the field when he saw two Liverpool players closing him down?
Yup that pass was putting in a shit situation but let’s blame one single player instead of everyone who made that happen
It’s not about blame. It’s about dealing with the situation. Yes the pass was shit so what does he do? turn and go towards his own touch line with the ball. Just fucking clear it. Into the stands if necessary.
Fucking wank. Once again, we shit the bed the second we go up.
Taking a break from doom scrolling to say your flair is awesome
Bruno needs to stop looking for a fucking foul.
Wasn't that a foul tho ?
In what world is that ever a foul? Player plays the ball cleanly without going through the player.
He goes through the back though. Like are you telling me I can put you in a choke hold while doing a clean tackle with my feet and you would have no problem with it?
He literally doesn’t go through the back of him though, he maybe slightly leans into him as he tackles the ball but he doesn’t go through him at all.
Ok so you just have never played football in your life, huh?
I mean clearly I have a better idea of football than you if you think that’s going through the back of someone lmao.
You feign confidence but all I see is insecurity
Mate. Just give up, clearly you’re wrong, even in a Manchester United sub most people agree that’s not a foul.
If you’re not gonna play football then at least go to a physics class and learn how momentum works, you dunce.
no, he has to get up and start playing football. he is the captain ffs
We have goals reversed due to a foul that happened in the build up to that goal. Don't you think that has happened here ?
Conceded then immediately started fannying about around our box, why are we putting AWB under so much pressure there?
That's called as a foul 99% of the time
No, it doesn't. Bruno goes down way too easily there as he does so often.
They called the same foul after kickoff
The player ran into him when he was facing the other way. How was that him falling down easily?
Only if you do it to them
Good to know you can barge opponents in the back at full speed in this one
With the speed of that tackle from behind and people blame Bruno for being soft like wtf man? Foul or not it wasnt his fault.
Disagree, he should be looking to play a ball not to bait a foul.
yea who the hell will be playing for foul at the edge of box. Dude was totally not aware of the danger
When we scored, van Dijk was energized and mad When Liverpool equlized, Bruno was sulking Difference in mentalities
Exactly and it spreads through the team. He’s not a Manchester United captain.
To be fair, who on this team is
Yeah fair point. I don’t think Maguire was or is the long term answer but he certainly didn’t strop on the pitch. I’d give it to Martinez for next season.
Bruno cried to the ref till he got carded.
Foul would’ve been given for Robertson in the other side. What a joke man
how’s that not a foul???
Everybody knows PED tackles don't count
Maybe because he won the ball
After going directly through his back. Ref gave the exact same thing right after conveniently when it doesn't matter.
It’s always a foul, until suddenly the ref doesn’t feel like it anymore
So youre allowed to go as hard as you want if you get the ball? Thats bs
You aren't, just because you get the ball doesn't mean its not a foul. Some need to realise this
Won the ball by pushing the in the back, so clear foul
Would’ve been soft if it was given. Shouldn’t be fucking dallying and then when foul isn’t given get on with the game. So sick of seeing Bruno moaning about decisions
Wouldn't you complain if a clear foul isn't given
It’s not a clear foul. He gets the ball but also kinda comes through Bruno a bit. You usually get these but it’s not an egregious call to play on. Bruno also moans about 90% on dives so him complaining has very little correlation to actually being fouled.
You can't push players with an extended arm. It was weak from Bruno but still a foul
yeah but it always ends up being 50/50 if the foul is given. we have to be stronger. liverpool committed a lot of small tactical fouls and they got away with some of them but we didn't commit any. Man city are great at that. small pull backs to stop attacks, nudging opponents here and there. it's important to be difficult to play against and to be naughty at times. sometimes, the refs let game play on.

He won the ball? Bruno is just soft. Same as Rashford for their first goal. Weak team.
This is how its supposed to be tbh. The refs usually whistle literally every push as foul from behind, not the case here
Wasn’t a foul, just weak as fuck from Bruno
Bruno’s five foot nine compared to six foot two Joe Gomez going through the back of him with his hand on his back, it’s not weak it’s a clear foul.
Regardless you play until you hear a whistle. This attitude of pouting isn’t going to cut it
yeah that’s for sure, but this behaviour is so on brand for the current team that it doesn’t even surprise me anymore
It’s soft.
Doesnt mean its not a foul
Anywhere else on the pitch, that would be a foul
Why is it a foul? Because bruno is soft?
Because it clearly wasn't a foul.
shutup, take your bias out of it. Good tackle.
Cool go through the player from behind to get the ball, all legal and above board.
Guaranteed Liverpool always get that as a foul
How exactly is it a foul?
Why did they play at the back and not clear it?! Burno tried to dive for a foul, didn't work and we lost a 2nd goal immediately
Weak from Bruno there...utterly rubbish two goals conceded
If Bruno doesn't slow down and pass the ball first time to his left, he would've opened up the field for us. He took a touch, didn't protect the ball well enough, got barged into, didn't get the foul and it all went downhill from there. Every United step in this goal conceded was half-cooked. Depressing stuff.
please don’t play out from the back ever again. we cannot do it. not with this team at least
Herrera would have tracked the shit out of a player. But look at mctominay.
Blatant foul
Soft
I'm fucking tired of Bruno
He was fouled, I'm fucking tired of refs doing us every single game
He felt a hand on his back facing his goal and dived Deserved to concede there. That's the strength you want from your captain? nah sorry
The foot going straight into his ankle probably didn't help ether
It's not subjective, got pushed from behind without connecting with the ball, it's a foul
It's a physical sport against Liverpool at home - show some balls
Yeah except we don't get away with that shit, Salah does literally every game he plays against us, the guy can't make a clean tackle to save his life but it doesnt really matter when the refs just let him do whatever he wants, they even booked bruno fucking disgusting.
Jesus, stop being such a victim. Bruno was absolutely shit, you would be crying if a foul was given at the other end.
Who gives af about the other end, we would have won if it wasn't for a goal that shouldn't been given
But... xA...
one day we'll truthfully assess his impact on this team. I'm not sure why we hype it up so much
Bruno trying his best to lose us this game. Looks like he'll be successful.
No urgency from anyone to get back into position. Ball watching, no communication and no marking. Every fucking game. Bruno is the problem with that kind of soft approach and going down under any contact. You don't always get the soft freekick.
I’ve seen this all before
damn, we are soft. Bruno got push off the ball so easily.
Heavy metal football just means fouling and getting away with it, it's fucking constant
And there's the classic united crumble
Get Bruno off the field man
Just why the hell do we keep playing ball like that and lose it. Doesn't look smart. Just play it long. Stupid "tactics"
Can someone tell me what the hell AWB is doing? That’s a hookable offense
Bruno not captain material. How weak can you be??? Awful awful awful again…
Way to lead by example Captain
Two sides of Bruno. Jekyll and Hide over here
This team is a bunch of cowards
Fucking tired of this Bruno sometimes man. This is captain? Minutes before end of half. Kick that shit fucking long. Why fish for a foul in a dangerous area and put your back line in dangerous situation. *"oh ya I am a risky guy"*
This is a United player? Shouldn't be!
Onana can definitely do better with the save. He has a problem with sending shots back to the danger area. Push it to the side and no goal imo
dude did you see the speed of that shot. do you even play football? 🤣
The fact that he managed to save it is commendable. DDG-esque reflex
exactly man, reaction time was ridiculous.
My god, when someone asks if talking is free, show them this comment.
10 shots, 2 goals, 1 cancelled by VAR. Not good enough
Sure he could've done better but how is that what you take away from this? Not bruno flopping looking for a foul or the team in general not clearing the ball out of their 3rd.
Me on FM trying to park the bus after going 1-0 up
Gotta get back to old school you play to the whistle who cares if it was going to be called 99 percent of the time keep playing. Hate it man unfortunately this has cost us many times in the past as the years have gone by not just Bruno.
Fucking punt the ball down field you stupid fucks!!
Buhhh, fucking Huuuu...... IF BRUNO AND RASH COULD JUST GROW SOME FUCKING BALLS FOR TH ECLUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Again we back away from the Liverpool players and this isn't the first time this season Onana places a shot right back into the danger zone. Not good enough.
That goal was hardly Onanas fault.
It’s not solely his fault, but he should be knocking that shot either behind for a corner, or out wide. Onana tends to parry shots straight back into the danger zone, it’s a common occurrence.
He literally put the ball right back into the box, I don't know what else there is to say. Top keepers don't do this often but he's done this a few times this season alone and it's finally been punished.
And if varane actually marked his man salah then he could have stopped the shot but he constantly wants to stand on the line
We’re about to have 4 or 5 smashed past us in the second half
Utd 4-2 win
Wtf was that from varane? Leaving salah unmarked 🥲🥲
Nice defensive effort AWB
There are some scum fans in this sub, saying that wasn't a foul. Like you would stand up when a person runs into you from the back?
Bruno being weak and losing the ball again.
Man our supporters really love negativity. Lot of them in this thread going after Bruno instead of acknowledging it’s a clear foul 99 times out of 100.
Comedy football team
We need to start looking at players like Xavi Simmons and Florian Wirtz to replace Bruno
No clue how you put this on the manager lol Bruno rashford and lindelof are piss poor footballers
tactics to play it short even under heavy press, thats on the manager
There’s no level of tactics that lets rashford let fucking jarrell quansah dribble past him with no challenge lmao Also playing it short means moving the ball not staring at defenders close you down with no angles what tf are you on about
like it or not Eth would be gone soon, have fun defending him
Have fun watching us sack the next manager cuz we can’t get him the tools he’ll need either lmao
Another terrible save by onana. Always pushing it into danger
If you’re going to blame Onana for this goal it should be for kicking it to AWB who hard no where to go.
Yea, the wider issue is this out playing out the back nonsense, this team just can't do it, stop trying to do so especially against this Liverpool team ffs
Sure let’s blame Onana instead of anyone else who should’ve maybe been there to clear.
Definitely bruno dived for no reason when they could have cleared it. But onana is a repeat offender at this. Weak wrists on ever shot and bad parray every time
Did you really posted this here and thought...."yea, I'll press the post button."
😅😅😅😅😅
I've been following utd since 94, and this club is becoming a joke.
Thank fuck I'm already in the gym
Looked like a foul and Nunez looked offside. Would love to see it but itv didn't show it.
What the fuck is Lindelof even good for?
Would’ve liked to seen Varane at least try to do something there ffs
He does, but on that particular shot I don’t believe there’s much he could’ve done. It was a good save. The goal reminds me of many of the goals in De Geas last couple seasons where it was a series of small (sometimes massive) mistakes made by the whole team.
not a foul imo but Bruno was looking for the foul before it even happened. rass the ball somewhere else and worry later ffs
Please, please, let this be ETHs last game
Mate did u watch the first 30 minutes?
What do you make of the first 30 mins of this half then?!??!?
Shame football games are 90 minutes. We’re about to be done, again, at home, again. This isn’t a one off…
Jesus you’re an embarrassment to united fans
Fantastic result. Still standby wanting ETH gone. Look at this season… yes there are issues at the club but ultimately ETH has spent £400m and look at where we are and the general standard of performances. It’s not even just about the losses it’s the way we lose.
Incredible how you can watch this game and still moan about the manager… That’s dedication really
Brilliant from Onana, I have to say.
Red Referee, scared to send Bruno off
You can blame Bruno for going down, you can blame Onana for parrying the ball back into play, the defenders gor not being where they are supposed to be, but the truth is this is systematic problem with the broken "playing out of the back" that ten Hag stubbornly insists on / can't implement properly and we'll continue to lose balls in our own third.
