Fine margins gave them the win last weekened. If the dodgy pen, perfect martial strike, bernard's miss went differently we'd've won. Utd really aren't that good.
Exactly. Aside from the Rashford chance they created very little. The penalty and Martial's late 1v1 that doesn't happen if we aren't unfairly behind were the other chances and they don't happen with competent refereeing or VAR. Much like Arsenal they scored a screamer and an illegitimate goal and we lost because we missed our chances. It's annoying but doesn't mean we played poorly.
 
Your point being they probably won't do it. Yeh I get that, doesn't mean they're not going for a cup is it?
My point is more that it is a bit early to go all "Eddie Howe is such a brilliant, ambitious manager who won't accept just being mid table" and whatever else people want to draw out. I like Howe but to this point his teams have conceded a ton of goals every year. If they can get through this one without reverting to that trend I'll be impressed cup or not.
 
A draw would benefit us.

Also Leon Osman is actually pretty decent on match commentary. Having Jon Champion, who is always excellent, probably helps but well in Leon.
 
Thats a big shock so far based on the game as it looked like man utd should go home and it was a matter of time and how many bourenmouth wanted to score
 
Two hands in his back to knock Brooks of balance - nailed on pen....


That one looked as blatant to me in real time.....which is the only view the ref has.

(I still think that was a penno, though It didn’t seem as blatant on replay)

Never a benefit of the doubt for us :(

Baines was deffo a penno....but we never get away with owt.
