Not beating this dogshit Man United side once can be put down to bad luck. Not beating them twice is careless. Failing to beat this fucking horrendous shambles of a United side on THREE occasions is embarrassing and inexcusable. It’s going to take a long time for me to get over this one, unless of course we somehow still end up winning the title.
That’s no longer in our hands though. It was before this fucking debacle. Everything that had gone before this weekend was irrelevant as it was all just setting us up for this, an eight game sprint to the line where we had a three point start over City and a two point start over Arsenal. Win all eight and we’d be Champions. Our games aren’t even that hard. The starting pistol went and we smashed into the first hurdle and we're now face down on the track.
I keep seeing people say that this was our most difficult fixture remaining. Why? Because of history, nothing else. United are SHITE. We’d seen it first hand ourselves twice before and this proved it even further. Proper shite, a genuinely bad team just begging to be humiliated. These are even worse than when we beat them 5-0 and 7-0. All this voodoo bullshit about how we never win at Old Trafford so this is a difficult game. Fuck that. Play the opponent, not the occasion. And the opponent is fucking shit.
Don’t take my word for it, just watch all three games we’ve played against them. 87 shots we’ve had in those three games. Plus countless situations that would have led to shots had we actually PLAYED THE RIGHT FUCKING PASS. That works out at a shot almost every three minutes. I bet we don’t have that kind of number against anyone else we’ve played, so spare me with your “most difficult fixture” superstitious nonsense as I'm not buying it.
A shot every three minutes!!! And we did not win even one of those games. It falls mostly on the forwards but the midfielders and full backs are not blameless either. Difficult game? It was actually the opposite. Gary Neville absolutely nailed it on commentary when he said that people are saying it’s our toughest game but that in terms of the actual play we won’t have an easier game in the run in. This was while we were fucking battering them and their crowd was ready to turn as soon as we got a second goal. He was absolutely right, it was so fucking easy.
We won’t dominate another side like that in this run in, we didn’t even dominate bottom club Sheffield United like that the other night because, unlike Ten Hag’s rag tag bunch, the Blades actually made it difficult for us. This wasn’t difficult, it was easy as fuck and that’s part of the problem. Tortoise and the Hare, the Viper vs the Mountain, the same analogies I used after the FA Cup game.
This was slightly different in that I don’t think we were anywhere near as laid back about it and I do think the intent was really there to get the second goal and to finish them off, but the wastefulness was the same and I do think we got lulled into a false sense of security again just by how fucking easy it was. Put it this way, Quansah does not do that against Man City. Not a chance.
It’s actually scandalous that we ended this game with only two goals and that neither were from open play. How fucking incompetent is it to not score a goal in open play against a team that was giving up a shot at their goal every three minutes? And yet this is exactly what some of us were afraid of. I said it before the cup game and I said it before this one. There was absolutely no doubt that we’d dominate the game and the only danger was if we were not clinical. And surprise surprise, we fucking weren’t.
