HarvSFC Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Mike Dean played a big part in the United 9-0. But, yeah, Leicester were just relentless against us. So many games fizzle out after an early onslaught, like last night, taking Saka off at half time and then bringing on the rest of the squad players throughout the second half (Cedric). But, we just didn't have any answer for Leicester that night. Ayoze Perez became prime Messi. It was embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertrand's early red card v Leicester didn't help, but it is remarkable to look back at our midfield that day - JWP, Romeu and Hojberg. In the Man U debacle Jankewitz got the red card after two minutes, and only JWP was left from that strong midfield we paraded v Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only had 9 fit senior players and realistically we should have requested to have the game postponed like so many others were for the same reason during Covid, and the officiating was just a sick joke that night. We started with two kids from the U23s, one of whom got himself sent off after 2 minutes. At face value, the challenge was worthy of a red card, but Dean really should have accounted for the fact that he was a very young lad making his senior debut, and given him a yellow with a final warning of "one more foul and you're off". We had a goal disallowed because Lee Mason on VAR was somehow able to tell that Che's fingernail was offside, and then he and Dean between them somehow managed to completely ignore the fact that there was no contact from Bednarek on Martial whatsoever and sent him off as well. It was painful to watch, and obviously reflects badly on everyone involved, but I don't really put it in the same category as the Leicester one because there were far more mitigating circumstances. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad it’s not just me who thinks this. That game was a 6-1 defeat, at OT, during a massive injury crisis in which Alan Tchaptchet made the only appearance of his professional football career at any level. Jankewitz deserved his red, it was a ludicrous tackle but honestly we didn’t acquit ourselves too badly in that game. It was certainly nowhere near the Leicester performance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheff Utd are appalling, getting battered every week, but they still don’t sink to the lows of conceding 9. To have done it twice in 2 years is pretty remarkable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
