If you dont take your chances.............
 
What the hell just went on with the yellows and reds...?
 
Ibra seemed to elbow the CB on purpose in retribution for the contact with his head while Ibra was on the ground.
 
Surnam got his 2nd yellow and then Ibra didn't for the retaliatory elbow on the other guy who had earlier stamped on his head! Should probably have been 3 reds there.
 
Yeah absolute mayhem there, I couldn't keep track of that the heck was going on with the camera jumping back and forth. Ibra is extremely lucky to be on the pitch, although that CB has been reckless the entire game, the tackle on Rooneu from the back was quite heavy too.
 
Ibra is old school, that's what players used to do, but he can't be doing that in games now. The more I see the tackle from behind on Rooney the more I think that was the worst of the lot, didn't tackles through the player from behind always warrant a yellow and were always considered a foul? From what I recall you can't go through a player to win the ball. I've always been under the impression that's dangerous play.
 
So 1 red card but should probably have been 3? Mings and Ibra should have been sent off too. Entertaining game though, hopefully 1 man up will give us the edge.
 
Looks like Mings and Ibra should have been sent off rather than the other guy who did very little. But Prem refs what ya gonna do.

We will no doubt make hard work of this second half.

He definitely can't. With refs these days there's as much chance of them sending off the guy who retaliates and totally missing the guy who started it. Ibra deserved to go here for sure here though regardless.
 
Zlatan lost his damn mind. Shouldn't be on the pitch. Why did Jose let him come back out?
 
Triple sub about to be made now, Lingard, Rashford and Fellaini being prepped.
 
Now United get a penalty after a Bournemouth player handles in the box.

And Ibra's penalty is saved.
 
Zlatan has been killing us all day. Why is he still on the pitch?
 
Bad day at the office for him. And this will be a terrible result to stall Utd's push at the wrong time in the league if they don't pull the result out. Should really have pushed on after that Cup win and started making their case for 4th.
 
Yeah bad day for everyone, the game has been all over the show to be honest.
 
Okay this is insane now, honestly don't know what United are playing at today.
 
If we could get 50£ for Pogba we should take that deal today
 
Well that pretty much sums up out league season, poor result at home against 10 men, seemed to have no ideas and lost our heads completely. Was hoping the cup win would gee us up but seemed to have no effect. Really missed Mkhy today
 
All on the team I'd say, the team selection was fine they just couldn't manage to finish their chances. The only team selection criticism I'd make is Rooney starting was a mistake IMO. But the team got an infinite number of chances to finish even when Rooney was on and just couldn't manage it.
 
I don't blame Zlatan. Mings deliberately stamped on his head. I would've got straight up and sparked him out. Anyone who stamps on someone's head when they're on the deck deserves a ****ing hiding.
