Manchester United’s 0-1 home defeat to Arsenal, despite dominating most stats, blamed mainly on goalkeeper errors (named “Beinda”/Onana) and the club’s failure to sign a goalkeeper in summer; also discusses midfield balance and Bruno Fernandes’ role.
No named guests in the transcript; it’s a solo host “Goldbridge Review” style show with live fan chat.
United were the better team (possession 61%, more shots, more passing, more duels won) but lost because one goalkeeping mistake decided the match; Amorim and Jason Wilcox had “plenty of notice” to buy a keeper; Bruno shouldn’t play holding midfield; United still need a goalkeeper and a midfielder.
The keeper’s mishandling/punching leading to the goal; Bruno’s cross where Raya dealt with it but United’s keeper “palmed it in his own goal”; De Ligt’s defensive work; Dorgu and Bruno covering the most distance (11.1 km).

0:01Hello, everybody. Welcome to the United Stand. Manchester United 0-1. Arsenal 1. And it's so disappointing. It's so disappointing. I'm absolutely fuming, but not at the things we've maybe been fuming about before. All summer long, all of you have said we need a goalkeeper. Ruben Amorim and Jason Wilcox went into the summer giving plenty of notice that they wanted a goalkeeper. It's not an honour today. It's bloody Beinda. We need two new goalkeepers. And that has what has cost us. And it's so annoying because the performance is not a loss. But factually, it's one stupid error yet again in an area where we know these errors are going to keep happening.
0:46And people keep saying sign Costa from Porto. Well, unfortunately, we haven't got Costa. We've got Costas in goal. And he's named bloody Beinda. I mean, Gary Neville apparently gave man of the match to Odegaard. I mean, you can do your man of the matches. We've got FOTMOB as well, where we're going to compare theirs to ours. So get involved in that. Odegaard was not man of the match for Arsenal. They must have thought it was bloody Christmas. Santa Claus should be their man of the match because it was like Christmas. We've gifted them three points where a draw would have been a very good result for them.
1:21It was incredible. Absolutely incredible. Apparently, he gave Rhea man of the match. Sorry, I don't know why I got told by our admin that it was given to Odegaard. Apologies for that. Still don't think Rhea was man of the match for Arsenal. How many saves did Rhea actually make? Two? I think De Ligt. I think Embermo. I think Kunja. I think Dorgu. Dorgu covered more distance than anybody in a Man United shirt today. 11.1 kilometres. We'll go through all that in a moment. But I think what you need to do in relation to that game is I said before the game, I've got a few things I want to look at. There's a few things that are really important.
2:00And I don't... If I'm going to take any positives from that game, if you'd said to me, you're going to lose to Arsenal, but there won't be an Amory Mount movement, then I would have took that 100%. 100%. And if you want to check FOTMOB out, actually, the QR code's in the bottom right-hand corner and it's in the link description. So you can go through all the distance covered and everything. And I'll talk about that in a moment. But there is no Amory Mouth stuff in the chat. And I think we need to remember this performance because I said a couple of days ago that for me, our season is about after 10 games, being a better team and being in touching distance of top five.
2:43And today we showed what we might be in 10 games time when everybody's caught up. And if they get off their arse and they actually get the transfers in we need. because that performance today, what was impressive about it was that when we went 1-0 down and we spoke about this in the summer, for years, when United go 1-0 down, the heads drop, the mentality disappears and the result goes. We went 1-0 down and we stayed in the game and with a better team in the game. Now, of course, the flip side is that how many times over the years have we got up for Arsenal, got up for Man City and then the next week you go and lose to Fulham.
3:23Well, let's see. That's the challenge for the team because I think the majority of United fans, even though we've lost, are going to say, we're not in a title race. It's Arsenal. They're one of the best teams in the league. We played really well. We made a keeping error and that's the difference between the two. We're looking at a different battle this year. We're looking at fifth, maybe fourth. I don't know. And on that basis, you'd say, look, go and win next week, beat Burnley, get back into this league, get back into that race. And that's definitely possible. But the mentality to stay in the game is really important.
3:58And the challenge is to keep doing that now, because that was a real positive. And you can see with Kunja and Mbemo that we're a different type of side. And there are problems in the midfield and there are problems in goal. And this is why I've got to give credit to all of you that we've been talking about it all summer. And the reason there is this obsession with a goalkeeper in Man United's fan base. And Gary Neville was talking about it yesterday. He spoke about it on Sky yesterday. Man United need a goalkeeper. He's absolutely right. You're absolutely right. This is why you need a goalkeeper, because you're in a tight game like that and one error costs you the game.
4:38One error costs you the game. Doesn't matter about what you deserve. Doesn't matter about, you know, it's not fair. One error, it is fair because we put a goalkeeper in goal that's not good enough. And if we'd signed a goalkeeper, that wouldn't have happened. So it is fair. It's not, you know, it's bad, but it is fair because we've walked into that trap and all of you and Gary Neville and everybody else said, it worries me about the goalkeeper. And then the goalkeeper makes the mistake. There was exactly the same scenario in the second half where Bruno whips a cross in right on the top of Raya, delits there using his body and Raya punches it.
5:20And the difference is they've got a goalkeeper that can deal with that. We've got a goalkeeper that palms it in his own goal. As I said, acting like a bloody kangaroo who's fell in a swimming pool. Awful. So it comes down to that. And there's no point moaning about, oh, we did this wrong. He got his team wrong. None of that is relevant. There's no moaning about performance. There's no moaning about system. You know, Carriger can't get his white trainers on tomorrow night And go, look at that Manchester United side And the system doesn't work You know, you can't have any of that It was a good performance There were some good individual performances We moved the ball around well The system worked well And one goalkeeping error has made a mistake And the club has got to go out And get a goalkeeper and a midfielder Because I still think Arsenal are better than that I still think there are midfields better than ours.
6:17And I still think Bruno and Casemiro in the midfield is not going to be good enough. So I think we need a midfielder. And I think we need a goalkeeper as well. And obviously, we're going to hopefully get better in our attack too as well. But I mean, I want Bruno to play as a number 10. I don't want Bruno to play as a holding midfielder. I don't. Which brings me on to this. I wanted to talk about this. So just in relation to FOTMOB, you can download it for free. Links in the, scan the QR code in the bottom right-hand corner. So Bruno Fernandes, 11.1 kilometers covered. Dorgu, 11.1 kilometers covered.
6:56They were the two players who ran the most today. They were the two who ran the most altogether. Zubamendi, 11.5. Odegaard, 11.5. But Rice, 10.1. So Dorgu today, immense amount of work. The Lit today. Look at this. from De Ligt. Defensively, tackles one, blocks, clearances, headed clearances, recoveries four, headed clearances four, clearances six, blocks two, ground jewels one 60%, aerial jewels one 56%. Just an overall fantastic performance from De Ligt as well. I'm going to go through what their player ratings are in a moment, but obviously I want to go through ours first. But look, it's such a weird game.
7:43I want to go through some of your comments too. It's such a weird game because I said 1-1 and it should have been 1-1. And if you're an Arsenal fan, you're over the bloody moon and I get that, but I just want to play the Fulham game. It's going to be a long week now. Well, actually it's fine. It's a transfer window. Go and do some bloody business because you put Belaba or a Yulmland or a Wharton in that midfield and you put an Emi Martinez in goal. And I'd go, all right, we're not winning the league. We're not getting top four, but we've got an exciting season where we're going to play football.
8:20We played some good football. You know, we played some good football. And as somebody just said there, we won every stat. I mean, let me just have a look at this. I mean, I'll hold it up to the screen there, but this is on FOTMob as well. 61 % possession, Man United. XG 1.59 to their 1.05 22 shots to their 9 7 shots on target to their 3 There's more I mean, look, you saw the game You saw what happened 83 % accurate passes to their 75
8:56Overall They did cover more distance than us But This is it It passes 476 to 296. Who would have thought we'd be dominating Arsenal like that? Defence, 61 % of our tackles won to their 56%. Jewels won 58 % to their 42%. Ground jewels won 58 % to their 42%. Aerial jewels won 57 % to their 43%. Successful dribbles 75 % to their 29%. I mean, we've battered them on absolutely every stat apart from the one that matters. And I would not have expected that before the game. I would not expect United to dominate Arsenal in duels, intensity, shots, passing. Overall, it's a really, really promising performance.
9:52But football's about winning and you get nothing. And I think the one word I agree with, Yashin, is it's encouraging. It silences the Amrim out crew. I mean, that's the positive. but we did lose the game. What we need to do now is, is make sure that we play like that every week. If I'm in the dressing room, I'm saying, lads, look at what United fans are saying. They're not going mad because you've lost the game. You ignored Bienda. You're getting praise. People are pissed off. They're fuming, but they're not fuming with you. Apart from you, Bienda. You know, everybody is getting praise for your work rate, for your passing, for your style of play.
10:29What we've got to do is go and beat Fulham next week, beat Burnley the week after that, come back after the international break and do the same against Chelsea and Man City and then keep it going. And after 10 games, we've got to be within three points of fifth. And then we really kick on. And while you're doing that, I'm going to go and speak to Sir Jim and I'm going to get us a couple more players. You know, it's as simple as that, because if we've got a goalkeeper, we've got to draw. did we do better than I thought yeah look I said a draw but I didn't expect us to play that way and I didn't expect us to play that well it's the opening game of the season Arsenal looked way below par there'll be I mean I remember United doing this winning when you play badly it's amazing and they'll be over the moon with it but I'm not interested in Arsenal I don't think Arsenal are a club that we need to care about at the moment you know maybe next season maybe the season after that.
11:27I'm caring about Villa, Newcastle, Spurs. We've just got to go and win now. That's what we've got to do. Does it worry that Maynou got no minutes? I mean, look, we're going to do player ratings and we can go through all the performances. Bruno Fernandes never gets subbed off. And if Bruno's not going to get subbed off, where's Maynou going to get minutes? Casemiro comes off, Agate comes on. Man United sign a midfielder. Where does Maynou fit in? You know, it's always talk about promise with Mainou and he doesn't get into the team. I want to see Mainou on the pitch. But today, does he change the game?
12:03I mean, I wasn't massively impressed with Casemiro. I thought Casemiro did OK, but I'd rather see Mainou in the team. But, you know, it was a positive performance from Ang United and individualising it. You know, there's probably not a lot of points of it. I mean, I thought De Ligt was incredible. We're going to go through the players anyway. But I just think it's really important before I do that to say that it's been one of the strangest opening days in a long time where we lose. And I just think we need to just fight for this team and this manager because what's cost us today is still the ownership.
12:44Their slowness. Look, we're not ready. Like, we're not ready. Cesco didn't even start because he was brought in late. We haven't got a goalkeeper. We haven't got a midfield. Arsenal finished second last year and Zubemendi's been there for weeks and, you know, Jokeres has been there longer than Cesco's been there. We're not ready and we've just had a performance like that. So I can only see things getting better and we need to, as a club and as fans, remember that today and take the positives. You can lose 12 games and finish fifth. We've just lost one already. But if we can take that type of a performance into next week and win and then beat Burnley, six points from nine, that's what we've got to be looking to do.
13:28Take every game as it comes. And as long as every game is a good performance, you're going to lose games. I accept that. You're going to get unlucky. I accept that. But I think there's a lot of positives to take from today. And I don't see any negatives other than the one that's been self-inflicted by not buying a goalkeeper. And I think that's the way I look at it. I think it worked today.
13:52And, you know, we didn't play with a striker. And I think playing with a striker is going to make us even better. And what I really did like about today, and I moaned about it on the tour, we got the ball into the feet of Kunja. Mbamo's a different type of player he wants the ball ahead of him Kunja, ball into feet we didn't do it on the tour we did it today and what he can do it's a joy to watch he's so good at receiving the ball and making things happen and carrying the ball and people can live with him Ishmael says Mark the positives is that we're playing one game a week which means we'll get similar performances like that well I don't agree with that Ishmael let's not get complacent how many times have we seen Man United put in a brilliant performance against the top four and then the next week go to somebody in the bottom half and be shit.
14:40So Ishmael, I like what you're saying, but the players need to hear this. There is so much praise for you. Make sure next week you put a statement out against Fulham because if you go to Fulham and lose or play shit, everyone's going to go, here we go again. Consistency, consistency, consistency. You've got us, hold us. Another defeat at home, another the defeat overall, zero goals, says UK. The media will be all over the result despite the fall. Well, don't let them. Great point by UK, Jezza. Don't let the media get onto us. I want to see high player ratings from all those journalists. I want to see, you know, praise for Dorgu that he didn't get last year.
15:18I want to see De Ligt getting praise. You know, I want to see Amrim getting praise. I don't give a shit about the press. I give a shit about the fans. I want as many people as possible to get on board with the fact that by game 10, if we're in touching distance, that's when we move. First 10 games, we've got to play the top four. We played one of the best teams in England and we lost. Not everyone can defend like Arsenal. They're brilliant at it. I think if we're playing a lesser team, those balls bouncing around the box drop to one of our players and not to one of theirs. It still worries me that there won't be depth without a true number nine, says Jal.
15:53Snail says De Ligt was outstanding, desperately in the midfield and a goalkeeper. Not sure Bruno fits the system, says Raz. I think that's a conversation definitely he's a number 10 that was one of the best performances versus a top 6 team I've seen in a long time says Kyle Kunja what a baller mark says Ras I just love him on the ball so good a goalkeeping error has cost us this will happen over and over again says United start it will mate it will and that's why they've got to do something Defy says we need a real keeper should have sold Bruno he's a problem unpopular opinion we need a goalkeeper and yes Binder making a mistake but his passing and confidence was better than what I saw from Ananas.
16:32His passing was okay, but he cost us the game, mate. He's not good enough. I don't care how good his passing is. He's cost us the game. That's it. Goodbye. What are you parming the ball for when you should be punching it? Not good enough. The quality and goalkeepers decided the game. Agate was awful. Still, despite that, still positive, says Dan. Michael Botha, welcome to Members Club. Maybe 25 goalkeeping errors cost us. August 25, goalkeeper error cost us. May 25, says HC. Thank you. United with the better team, says Stig. Simon Hooper is corrupt as usual and that was a penalty on Kunia, says Stig.
17:02Agate is so inconsistent, need a CDM, says Alberto. Ref was 10 out of 10, need a CDM and a keeper, says Alberto. Sheeran says the ref was 10 out of 10 and he got paid. Performance more important than win? No, Dan, no. Results are always more important. I mean, I'd rather be Arsenal tonight. You know, the squad they've got, they're in a title race. Winning when you play badly is a brilliant thing. But that's the best way you can lose when you lose because of one individual and the rest of the team play well. We've just got to take that performance and keep it. What I will agree with you on, Dan, I'd rather have that performance if we keep doing it.
17:37That's what we've got to do. Man United were brilliant. If it wasn't for Raya, we would have hammered Arsenal, says Wolfie. We've lost our opening day before and become champions. Sam, okay, Sergio. United deserve to win, says Saprith. Kudya, Shah, and Bermoh had a Dorghu post. So close, just unlucky. Well, it's not unlucky. We're not unlucky. Unlucky is not the word. fuming is the word that we haven't bought a goalkeeper. It's not unlucky when you put a shit goalkeeper in goal and he costs you the game. It's not bad luck. It's unfair on fans, but it's not unlucky. This is about doing the right business that is essential.
18:10They've got to go and do it now. They've got to go and do it now. Should have started our Ahmad and we needed Donorimus as Achill. Just one thing, Mark. You play whole preseason with Ahmad then suddenly put Deleu in. I think it was a defensive thing, Ankit. You're playing one of the best teams in the league. Arsenal didn't deserve the win or a draw, says Reckon. Mount was better at CDM than Agate, says JB. I thought Mason Mount played brilliant. So Jim, go get a goalkeeper, says Papa Green. Wrighty, Carrick and Hoddle on the Premier League panel are saying United were the better team, but they lost because of a goalkeeper's poor techniques, says Rajiv.
18:41Wow. And they get paid for that opinion. Makes a nice change to come off a United match feeling pride, despite the results, says Rich. We were the better team, says Shane B. Kunja and Mbema are really positive. You know what I'm liking? The positivity, honesty and integrity of this chat. you know, how many games do we lose and people are in here going, I'm out. And every single comment at the moment is absolutely spot on. Bienda didn't even show a single bit of confidence throughout the whole game, says Mohamed. United played with intensity and physicality, says Daniel, encouraging patterns, great individual performances from the new number 10s, but instead of messing around with Brighton in the most confusing transfer approach ever, should have been pursuing a goalkeeper, says Sam.
19:19And aside from the mistakes, Bienda did okay, says Beard gang. Yes, we need a keeper, but that team selection and subs was a joke for me, says M20. The LCB are the key and both injury prone. Left-sided centre-back. We fizzled when Maguire went on. De Litt was phenomenal, says AM. Lost but proud of the performance and scraps Lewis. De Litt is underrated, didn't put a foot wrong and had Jokeres in his pocket. He was brilliant, Chip. Absolutely brilliant. Going into the season with his goalies is like going to a Diddy party with a full bottle of baby oil and not expecting to get shafted, says Gavin.
19:49Played well, good performance but fuming. We need a goalkeeper, says AMG. I mean, I think we've called it fuming. I am fuming because I am fuming that we haven't bought a goalkeeper and that we've lost that game. That's it. You know, everything else was brilliant, I think. Goalkeeper more important than a midfielder. This is Paul Dignam. I'm very encouraged by today's performances. Happy Hour Network. Agathe and Biend are exposed. Midfielder and a goalkeeper. CSSR says way too many fans being bitter because they are their anti-Amirim outplayed them tactically. I haven't seen any of that, mate.
20:21So I'm glad I haven't. Really happy with the performance. It was good football and got me excited to watch, says Peter Jones. Yeah, it's great to watch Man United when they play well, isn't it? United scout, I love the new goalkeeping rule, but I think it should be implemented with all set pieces. Some nice positives in that performance. Only thing I was slightly scared about is Szczesko saw zero service when he came on, says Pengers. And he needs to start, doesn't he? Red Devil Germany, their keeper won them the game. Ours cost us. Simple as that. Midfield is also a concern, says Red Devil Germany.
20:50Okay, right. Let's do the player ratings. Um, interestingly, we are going to compare our player ratings to FopMob as well as we go through. So this will be interesting. Let me just get it up on the screen for that as well. Um, you can get involved with the FopMob player ratings too if you download it. As I said, it's got all the stats for the game, all the distances covered. I'll be spending a bit of time on that later. Um, okay. Um, so Beinda, I would give him a five, 3.5 from you. five from me and six from Fopmob. Um, I, yeah, I mean, he's cost us the game. He's cost us the game, hasn't he? At the end of the day.
21:37Um, what more can you say? Um, we've said it all. He ain't good enough. Simple as that. Uh, Yoro for me, I would give him a 7.5, 6.4 What's going on? 6.4 I'll give him a 7.5 Thought Mob's giving him a 7.2 I've given him a 7.5 6.4 is terrible Absolutely terrible I thought the defence was fantastic today I thought Yoro did really, really well He's getting better and better And I thought it was a strong performance from him De Litt was my man of the match I'm not going to mess about with that Smash a like if you agree with me I'd give him an 8 I thought he was superb 7.6 from you, 7.2 from FOTMOB.
22:21I mean, I don't understand why, other than passport reasons, the British press get on his back. Certain journalists, Manchester United journalists, get on his back. I don't know what it is. I don't know whether it's because he's a replacement for Maguire. But I thought, I actually think De Ligt was really good last year and it just got swept under the carpet. And again today, that's just superb. If he had a British passport, they'd be talking about the next Bobby Moore. Tackles, pace, strength, blocks, passing. It was a brilliant ball where he sort of flicked it out to Dogu perfectly. I just thought he was absolutely brilliant.
22:58And look, Jokeres looked very, very rusty and maybe Sheshko is going to look a bit rusty. And I think that's something that we all need to bear in mind. New players take time. But Dalit was easy work for him today. Look, even Luke Shaw, I thought, played well. I give him a seven. FopMob's given him a 6.9. You've given him a 6.4. The brilliant thing about Luke Shaw is, and Mason Mount is, they're fit. And when they're fit, they're an asset. And that's how it works. So I was very pleased with them, of course.
23:34Sorry, Beth's just asking me what time I'm going to be passing over to the Fan Forum in Manchester, which is good timekeeping, I think. um the low again look people don't like the low i'd give him a 6.5 um i don't know why he's getting a 7.5.7 from you 6.6 from pot mob 6.5 from me you it's for me 5.7 from you i think it's because people want amad to play but ultimately he did a decent job against martinelli i wouldn't say it was you know what you know groundbreaking but i understood why amrim did it and then when we were losing in the second half. He took him off to be more attacking. So I haven't got a problem with the low if you want to go a little bit more defensive.
24:14Casemiro, probably a 6.5. I don't think it was average. I thought it was okay, but the limitations are the inability to have legs, basically. Give him a 6.9 on Fopmob, by the way. Interesting. Bruno, I'd give a 6.5 as well. 5.5 from you 7.5 from Fopmob um actually he's the highest scored player on Fopmob 7.5 Bruno does fall into the old category with a lot though doesn't he where he can do no wrong uh I've given him a 6.5 I don't think it was average I thought he was slightly better than average but I just don't like him in the midfield covered the most ground with Dorgu um but you know what Bruno just looks like a player that's doing a job, you know, like Rooney used to.
25:06It looks to me like when Ryan Giggs went into the midfield. Every time I see Bruno there, he does do some good bits, but he just looks like a player that's playing out of position. And as somebody just said there, he made five key passes. It's not about that, mate. That's not what people are doing. We're looking at a player who, if he was playing as a number 10, is playing in position. But when he plays in the midfield, how many times did Odegaard move five yards past him and receive the ball? Because he's not a midfielder. And that's the problem. He's not mobile enough. He's not disciplined enough.
25:39He's not technical enough in the tackle. He's just playing out of position. He's doing a job. It's like when we played Michael Carrick at centre-back and he did okay, but he's not a centre-back. And that's how I look at Bruno. He's just not a midfielder. So yes, there were some good passes. That's why I've given him a 6.5, but I just don't think he's a midfielder. I just don't. And he's going to play every bloody minute in there. Dorgou, 7.5 for me. Again, as I said, Bruno and Dorgou covered the most distance. Fopmob's given him a 7. You've given him a 6.8. I've given him a 7.5. This guy, Orange Man agrees with me.
26:13This guy has been ridiculed. And this is a lesson in patience. He comes in a shit season as a kid, halfway through the season and people are judging him. He's got immense talent and potential. In the tour, he was looking better and better in that game. Covers more distance than anybody else in the team. Up and down, up and down, up and down. Nearly scored an absolute worldie. Our best wide player by a long, long way. I think he's going to have that glow up this season. I think he's going to get better and better. I really do like him. I think he's really exciting. Mason Mount. I'm tempted to give him a 7.5 actually I thought he played really well in fact I think I will played a brilliant ball in the first half into Mbemou made a brilliant tackle on Saka in the first half where he would have been through immense energy obviously I think he can only play injuries it's just injuries with Mount for me if he can stay fit he's a valuable player you almost think why did we buy two number 10s if Mason Mount can stay fit but I think it's very obvious that we're going to have to manage his minutes but I thought it was his best game in a Man United shirt in a very, very long time.
27:21You give him a 6.5. He got a 6.5 from Fopmob as well, so they agree with you. But I thought he was a 7.5. I actually thought he played well. I'm getting a bit of shit from Marvin, but I do, I think he played well. I think, you know, maybe the standard's not very high, but I thought that was his best game. Kunja, for me, was an 8 with the Litz. I'd be very close to giving him man of the match. I think for a first game in a Man United shirt, competitively at Old Trafford, the aura, the confidence, the passion, you know, get the ability and get the ball and drive. So unlucky with that shot that Raya saved.
27:56That brilliant run where he'd run out of power. Second half, he was making things happen. Get the ball to his feet against Beth. Look, Arsenal have got the best defence in the league. We're going to play against weaker defenders. This guy, you know, he has the passion. He has the drive. He is, gets you off your seat. I thought it was a brilliant performance from him. I'd give him an eight. He got a 6.4 from FOTMOB and you get him a 7.4. Interesting. Embermo, seven for me. Yeah, I just think we've not seen the best of Embermo yet because I think he will get better and better. he just doesn't look as sharp as he did for Brentford I think that's down to a lack of pre-season there was that lovely ball from Bruno in the second half where he's in a sprint against Gabriel I know Gabriel's quick but I'd fancy him to get it and I think with Mbamo he's just not as sharp as everybody else which is exciting because I think he'll get better and better but I think he had a good game and I think what we did in this game really well and we didn't do it on the tour is we played to the strengths of Kunia and Mbremo.
29:08We got the ball into the feet of Kunia and we played the ball ahead of Mbremo on the ground. None of these over-the-top balls. And I think he's just going to get better and better in a Man United shirt. Ahmad, I would say... I would say... What would I say with Ahmad? I mean, I think he made a difference, 6.5. I didn't like that shot. You know, when he cut inside, I was like, it's Gnacho and Anthony time again. But hopefully that'll happen less and less. Um, look, you know what? Ahmad, I like Ahmad. I was disappointed he didn't start, but we mustn't forget. Ahmad was quite greedy last year as well.
29:43It wasn't just Garnaccio. It wasn't just Rashford. It wasn't Anthony. He still was quite greedy. So he still got a little of that to learn himself, but he made things happen on that right-hand side. And hopefully we'll see that against Fulham because we don't need Deleu. Uh, Maguire, I mean, look, he came on in six. Uh, Sesco, probably a six as well. Agarte was probably a five, really. A lot went wrong with Agarte. Just didn't look on it at all. And then Amorim for me,
30:13I would say Amorim for me, a seven today. I mean, 6.3 seems a little bit low. But I would say an Amorim seven. I thought that we played really well. We defended really well. We won on every stat. And I know stats aren't everything, but we won on everything on the eye test. We were better on the ball. We were better in the tackle. We were better in chances created. We were better on the eye and the keeper fucked up. And I don't think you can blame the goalkeeper. Sorry, you can. I don't think you can blame Amirim for that. So I think a seven for me from Amirim is about right. I mean, it's one of the best performances we've had.
30:48It's certainly the best performance we've had under him and when we've lost. We just need to take it into future games now. But, you know, I thought it was a good performance from Amirim and a good performance from the team. Who was your man of the match? Well, I'm stunned I bow down to you 46 % have given Delit man of the match Make sure you smash a like on for him The FOTMOB man of the match was actually Rhea So they agree with Gary Neville That Rhea was man of the match Not Odegaard 8.6 for Rhea
31:29I mean look It's a win for us either way isn't it If Rhea's man of the match That reflects well against us Because it just shows you You know their keeper was man of the match So I'll take it But I thought Dillett was absolutely fantastic And I think that He deserves man of the match But big shout out for Kunja as well And Dorgue Soi says to reiterate I think Bruno is great But not as a holding Look Bruno is a 10 10, happy days. Bruno is an 8. I don't like it. Some people don't understand this. They think you're a Bruno hater. Bruno's always been one of my favourite players. Bruno is a 10. I love it.
32:05Bruno is an 8. I hate it. I just hope it works. Not starting Sesko was a mistake, says Exify. Well, you can't blame Amarin for that because what minute did Sesko come on? Around 60. I know the Man United fitness department. That will be coming from then. He can only come on for half an hour in the 60th minute. And Man United listened to that sort of stuff. We lost the round, but we will win the war, says Ashies. Is it too early to say the next match is a must win? Oh, yes, Daryl. I mean, not in the sense that, you know, am I'm out or anything like that. But when you put in a performance like today and you lose, you've then got to go in and put in a performance and win.
32:41And that's what we need to do. Dan says the ratings are deluded. I thought they were good. I thought some of, I think there was a bit of difference across the three of us, but I thought they were good. Forget the scoreline. best performance, most enjoyable watch of the last two seasons, says Jay. It just goes to show why we need a good goalkeeper, says Carmine. Would not be surprised if Dorgou is next, Mendes, says Italian man. I'm sick to death of moral victories. We dropped three points and that's all that matters, says Gibbic to Mikey. Bruno Costa's the corner as well, says Chikorito. I thought Delo played well, seven for me, says Shane.
33:13Yes, we need a keeper, but it was Bruno who costed us the goal, says Sheriff. Amrim in, we need a new keeper as well, says Scott. Gatko, come on Mark Kunja was man of the match says Sammy I gave him the same score as De Ligt 8 so shut up I gave it to De Ligt over Kunja but I gave him the same score I'm very happy with my player ratings I think they were spot on today some positives but first match we need a keeper says Ian look at Ferdinand new tweets about the game he's outlining Bruno's weakness and goalkeeper problems says G chap um mate Gary Neville was talking about the goalkeeper yesterday if Rio Ferdinand's doing it as well if they're saying it and they never really say what we're saying.
33:50It just shows you. Do you think Faith has been lost in Agate, says Hamza? I think his confidence is on the floor. And we know what happened to the last player whose confidence was on the floor. He's not even in the squad. Rasmus. Samuel gave De Ligt and Agate the same rating. No.
34:09No, I don't believe that. I'm going to have a look. I don't believe that. Remember, you can download FOTMOB
