A team of dudes who look like that

On Lewis Hall going to Newcastle:

Brother: I feel like with their manager and Gordon, they are trying to form a team of dudes who look like that.

Me: Yeah, Hall really does look like he could be old Josh Hutcherson's son. Seriously, I can't remember his name. Eddie Howe.

i don't get how they do it. how do you cope with winning the ucl to losing after losing. like I'd just be madly angry at everything and everyone, i wouldn't even want to be on the pitch anymore. I'd just be so demotivated even before the next game starts

Match Review: Manchester United 3-2 Newcastle United

A win's a win. It wasn't comfortable, but at times it was pretty - with a bit of luck thrown in for good measure...

I don't want to be too lazy with this review, because it was a game that needs a legitimate commentary, but the tweets help flavour what was an interesting and peculiar match in a despairing and peculiar season.

United started modestly. Possession play was attempted and reasonably successful, but Garnacho was ponderous on the ball and there were a few errant passes from Casemiro at CB. He was also at fault for some random surges out into midfield and more missed/wild interception attempts.

Newcastle's threats of Gordon, Isak and Guimaraes played well and their speed, guile, and intelligence kept United honest, but chances did fall to our front three of Garnacho, Bruno and Amad.

United took the lead in the 31st minute through Kobbie Mainoo, who was perplexingly unmarked in the centre of the box thanks to Kieran Trippier rushing out to Amad Diallo. The Ivorian did what Antony always does - cutting in from the right - but unlike our expensive Brazilian he actually decided that 4 bodies wasn't worth a shot and played a cheeky bobbling throughball perfectly through to the waiting Mainoo for a cool right-foot finish into the bottom left of Dubravka's net.

The love-fest for Amad was on, Mainoo's back in action having had doubters lately, but the return of Capitão Bruno was a much needed bit of quality, drive and creativity to really wake United up. If this man is unfit and recovering then damn, he really is a machine.

One more player deserving plaudits though was Sofian Amrabat, who did make a couple of mistakes but generally looked assured in the CDM position. He pressed at the right times, put in some inch perfect slide tackles to deal with Newcastle's pacey counter attacking, and otherwise kept his game simple - be strong in the duels, press smartly, recycle possession to the creators. Amazing how much better we look with a proper pivot.

United went in 1-0 at half time then, which felt dangerous given our Premier League record of never losing a game at home we led at half time.

Cue Anthony Gordon in the 47th minute, smashing home a Murphy cross in from the right flank and finding the LW at back post to bundle it home.

You can argue that Casemiro isn't used to being a centre-back and this is a necessity time, so small errors will happen. That's fair. But it's still poor that his marking target isn't within arm's reach of him.

The lack of positional awareness from Wan Bissaka is an issue too, and has been forever. He was in a weird void between both Newcastle attackers.

Even with last season's improved attacking output, he hasn't improved that much - nor seems to have the confidence of a real elite "top of the league" player. An old interview with him revealed he thought he moved from Palace a year too early, but also he's a very reserved guy. Shy is fine, but there's a line where shy becomes timid, and I do think we might part ways in the summer. That said, he'd be a great buy for most teams for his defensive work - perhaps for someone like Bayern where their LB bombs up so much he's needed to help be a back 3.

Newcastle back in the mix kept on the counter, and should have scored when Gordon and Isak broke 2v1 against Amrabat only for Isak to sky over. This aside, United were fairly comfortable in possession and got the deserved second goal - courtesy of the boy wonder Amad Diallo.

A United corner was headed away at the near post by Newcastle, only to drift perfectly into the gulf of space held by Amad just inside the box. He then hits a peach of a shot into the mid left of the net; something Dubrakva should perhaps have saved but he's not Pope and it was a crowded box.

A triple sub with 8 minutes to go saw Hojlund, Martinez and Rashford all come on for Mainoo, Garnacho and the booked Amad, and almost immediately there was impact; Bruno Fernandes playing a tidy ball into a pocket of space for Hojlund who picked up, drifted right twice to get shot space, and tucked home a crafty finish through the defender's legs to beat the full stretched Dubravka. 1 chance, 1 goal. Good return rate that.

6 chance creations in 9 games though, compared to Haaland's 6 chances provided him versus just Wolves - Erik Ten Hag has work to do to make the team pass to Rasmus more. The good news as well is that Rooney scored only 2 more than Hojlund in 2 more games. We have Brighton and City left this season - can the Dane match a club legend?

Inevitably United would then go and fuck up a bit and let Newcastle back into the swing of things; a 92nd minute goal for Hall beamed into the mid right of the net past Onana. His second goal of the season, his second goal of the season at Old Trafford. Sake.

How did it come about though? Eriksen. His lack of legs and his lack of game speed coming on so late led to some lapse decision making.

Only Brighton remains now before our league campaign is over, and without Chelsea getting wrecked by Bournemouth we can't steal two places and get the Europa League - and we only have ourselves to blame by throwing away a win against them and being shit versus others so often this season. Wild times.

Instead, we need to win and hope Newcastle don't win away at Brentford, and that bags us Europa Conference. The upside? Less serious so we could blood more of the kids and new signings, but also a new competition which we are yet to win. It's no big cup, but it'd be a new one in the annals of our history.

7th is definitely achievable, but given our form against Brighton? It's going to be tough. That said, there's still the FA Cup route to the Europa League. If Erik Ten Hag wants the players to galvanise and believe we really have turned a corner (so many false dawns this season) then this is the perfect time to fix up confidence. Stick with roughly this lineup vs Brighton, get another win over our bogey team, and go in on a two-game streak to the FA Cup Final in the hope we can upset Shitty and steal a Europa League spot. Time to clutch up.
