NewYorkSaint Posted 2 March, 2019 Share Posted 2 March, 2019 Saints can be really proud of that. Deserved at least a point, given the bad reffing first half, and the incredible heart shown after going 1-2 down. Suddenly we can start looking forward to top-6 games again. Count me satisfied.

sammysaint93 Posted 2 March, 2019 Share Posted 2 March, 2019 Thought we put in a good performance, just so frustrating that we can't see out games. Should have had at least 1 penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skintsaint Posted 2 March, 2019 Share Posted 2 March, 2019 Another case of what if, two pens that could have been given. Typically we concede at the end. Better performance and could get something from Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washsaint Posted 2 March, 2019 Share Posted 2 March, 2019 Draw would have been fair. Really unlucky to lose and 2 stonewall penalties not given. Proud of the side today - especially as we have no strikers at the club. JWP fully deserves an England call up and Valery's goal was sensational.

Baird of the land Posted 2 March, 2019 Share Posted 2 March, 2019 Great performance for the most part. Very down after another late goal. We didn’t get out and invited it. At least Cardiff lost. Lovely goals by Valery and jwp Not sure there anything Gunn could have done for goals. Plus he kept us in it in first five minutes and saved a penalty.

Saint86 Posted 2 March, 2019 Share Posted 2 March, 2019 Ref was shocking, first half especially. Have no doubts that he cost us 3 points. You need the rub of the green when we are in our position away at united. Played superbly and deserved the win, did enough to warrant 2 pens at 1-0 up and the ref gave neither... not to mention all the fouls on us that he ignored, and all the fouls and corners he wrongly gave to united. Just a joke. Could have been worse, but honestly. Stuart Shatwell can do one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Brightside Posted 2 March, 2019 Share Posted 2 March, 2019 Surprisingly upbeat considering we lost like that. Played really well and Cardiff were beaten. This day could have been a lot worse. I'm gutted, but like you upbeat because we were awesome today and were so so unlucky not to get something out of it. We really don't get the breaks, stone wall pen for us in the first half. But encouraging for the rest of the season. So refreshing to see Prowsie being positive, looking to go forward rather than sideways. Maybe we didn't get anyone in the window, but him and Redmond look like new signings since Ralf's arrived. Also shout out for Hoj keeping Pogba quiet today.

Sheaf Saint Posted 2 March, 2019 Share Posted 2 March, 2019 Oh well. Didn't expect to get anything beforehand, and the pressure we were under in the first 5 minutes I thought it was going to be a long afternoon. So to play well and get within a minute or two of drawing was a nice surprise. Yes, it's annoying that we gave away yet another late goal, but Man U have done that to better teams than us recently, and it's not like it was a horrific mistake that lead to the goal - it was a brilliant turn and finish from a tight space and you can't really point the finger of blame at anyone in our defence. Lukaka just loves scoring against us it seems - 8 goals in 12 games! I thought Redmond was brilliant but he can't do it all on his own. We need Ings back badly cos Austin was once again completely ineffective. I thought Armstrong did well when he came on. Two very good goals - Valery's especially. Terrible refereeing. Had he given us at least one of those penalties in the first half it could/would have been a very different story. And it was inevitable he would give one to Man U after the slightest touch. Probably the right call - was clever from Rashford to stick his leg out and make sure that Armstrong contacted with him instead of the ball, but where's the consistency? If he gives that he has to give the ones in our favour as well. Very poor. At least we marginally increased our gap on Cardiff by way of goal difference.

Ohio Saint Posted 2 March, 2019 Share Posted 2 March, 2019 So the ref realised his mistake by not awarding 2 penalties and made up for it by finally awarding one. I admire his sense of fair play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our defenders will make mistakes and be responsible for goals. That’s why they play for us and aren’t Toby or Virgil. Stephens is a Championship player who regularly makes absolute bowlers which throw away results in many games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfahaji Posted 2 March, 2019 Share Posted 2 March, 2019 Haven’t seen the first penalty claim but if it was as blatant as some are saying then it serves to highlight the biased refereeing but since it came just before our first goal it didn’t alter the course of the game. I would have complained if they had got a penalty for the equivalent of the Young-Bertrand incident so I’m not going to claim that was ‘stonewall’. My main emotion after that is anger, because we didn’t deserve to lose. We didn’t concede because of sloppy defending or because we invited pressure. Just a good finish from a player who seems to only do anything good against us. Although I do know what Instant Classic means by “if you win, you deserve it”, but to extrapolate his board game analogy, it would be like putting yourself in a position where your opponent only wins if he rolls a six on his last go. And he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted 2 March, 2019 Share Posted 2 March, 2019 Shocking performance by Atwell but he’s an awful ref. Bet it barely gets a mention on MOTD. About time these big club refs got pulled up for blatantly nosed performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some things they are good at, and they’re hard workers, but they’re decision making and marking (look at both lukaku goals) is a recurring problem. Give others a chance and build upon newbies rather than relying on these two and I think the team becomes better exponentially.

Wes Tender Posted 2 March, 2019 Share Posted 2 March, 2019 A superb performance from Saints, considering the lack of striker options up front. A great pity that we couldn't keep the point, but United know that they have been in a tight match. Ultimately the difference between us and them, is that they had World class players who will finish eventually given enough misses when they are having an off day, whereas we were the team showing the greater spirit and determination. Although being at Old Trafford and having a homie referee favoured them, it isn't beyond the bounds of possibility that we could have kept the point at 2-2, or even sneaked all three against the rub of the green. I'm proud of the team today. There were some really good performances from most of them. Shout outs for Ward-Prowse again, also Valerie, Bertrand and Redmond, but I don't believe that any of the team had a poor game. Bring on Spurs and a similar fighting performance against them with home advantage and a referee who is neutral at worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
