True, some excellent clearances.

Good seeing Hendrick starting in the EPL these days. I think he'll be a good player for them in games where they're not on the back foot so much

Barely noticed Hendrick today.

And by that you mean United into mid-table, I assume?

That would be slither-down to mid

Back to Room 1408 for Jose

You'd have to say that was 2 points dropped by United, especially as Watford won with a goal late on.

Got the second yellow for the red card wrong, but you could see how it came about. Only on the replay do you realise that Herrera slipped. Think he got all the other decisions right though.

Herrera was unlucky with the 2nd yellow but generally he gets away with lots of naughty tackles. Was probably overdue a red.

Great if you had Heaton as your keeper in fantasy anyway.

Call it unsportsmanlike behaviour if you want. He knew well it wasn't a penalty.

That's what I'm saying, he doesn't get to do much in defensive games, was just saying it's good to see him get regular starts in the EPL

Second yellow for Herrera was really unlucky but looked stone wall in real time.

It's the little victories, eh? :pac:

On another day, ye'd have won that by three or four. Well used to results like that myself, sometimes your luck isn't in. I'll admit it was nice to see ye come up against an inspired goalkeeping performance for once, I thought it only happened to us.

I'm saying he likes leaving the foot in occasionally. Sent off 5 times in Spain. Amazingly only his first red in England.

So when a defender calls for offside, should he get carded too?

It means nothing in the context of that decision though. It's ridiculous logic

Very hard to take :mad:

I can understand it being very enjoyable form another perspective however

Not too despondent, one of those freak results. Thought we looked really incisive today. Pogba had a great 2nd half. Subs were horrible, don't understand how Micky wasn't on the bench. Would have been a much better option to have.

Youre wrong. The ref was correct with most decisions today...
Take off the utd goggles and stop blaming the ref on Utd's failings.

Mr. FoggPatches

That Herrera red card really hinders their ambitions of European football. Will be hard to come top of the FIFA fair play table now.

Said he was unlucky today. But he's been lucky on other occasions.

Pretty hard to tell if you kept a player onside or not. There's cheeky and then there's blatantly demanding a ref to give an unfair penalty.

Yeah, what you're suggesting is never going to happen.

The ref got the biggest decision wrong today. Only one that mattered. Saying that even with 11 men United wouldn't have scored.

Just like watching Chelsea last season all over again...but without the large amount of cash spent

How bad was Rooney when he came on.

Can Utd appeal the match ban based on Clattenburgs **** up?

Burnley beat us at the Bridge I think 2-1 last year. Against the run of play too.

Not two yellows unfortunately.

Wasnt a 2nd yellow either for me, was a slip, was a 100% free kick but there was no way he should have been booked.

These things even themselves out over 20 years. Just another 25 reds required for Scholes' challenges over the years to reach parity.

Don't think so. Anyway, he can technically stand over it. Herrera was out of control, I guess, and he didn't play the ball. Harsh as **** and should have just been a free out, but we're talking about Clattenburg here. The guy lives for moments like that.

Utd got very unlucky today. They played some good stuff and would have got the breakthrough I thought if Herrera hadn't been sent off 100% not a yellow but just one of those days. I'm still not convinced they have a direct idea of what they are doing tactics wise though - especially when Herrera isn't on

36 Attempts means we don't have any tactics?

If Utd had done this against Barca, it would have been a "defensive masterclass" Time to give Burnley some credit I think

Very unlucky from Utd but they need another striker.

It's not working for Zlatan and I can't see how it's going to improve much.

Agreed, we are still searching for our best XI but we have genuinely been so much better in a creative sense under Mourinho than LVG. This will fix itself in time but I think our early season title aspirations were misplaced. Just need to start getting points on the board now and build some momentum

Missing guilt edge chances and the keeper playing a blinder doesn't mean it was anywhere near a defensive masterclass

Normally I would give a defensive performance credit, but this was anything but. United's finishing is the main reason they didn't have at least a couple of goals here.

Aye today might not be the best example as it was just like a bullrush with Burnley scrambling to defend but I still get the feeling this utd team is very disjointed

Nothing disjointed about the performance
The finishing was the issue

Not a bad point for ten men United against a spirited Burnley side, who have only lost three times away from home in the league this season.
