No Garnacho? That would've been the only interesting to see the last 25min of the game, mainly because the opponent is his old team.

Utd were there for the taking and we’ve done everything we can to sabotage ourselves

What a joke of subs

f**k me Maresca is either trying to prove a point to the board . If he’s a complete w**ker maybe both

I bloody knew he’d go Gusto. Come on why not go for it?

Why george?

He was as good as sold ffs.

At least garnacho would be fired up

Manager keeps on using a player we accepted a bid for and was about to leave on the last day ahead of 100m+ signings.

I don’t get why Maresca was talking tactics with Garnacho for 10 minutes and then he subs on George instead.

And why did we go this long with Joao Pedro as the only attacker. What the f*ck.

Gusto will get us a goal I’m sure. Well done Enzo

He could have put on two attack minded players then. Could have pulled the limping Fofana and shuffled the system

Instead went with an academy winger and a right back to now play left back. £100M of left wingers on the bench, and £140M other wingers subbed by 17 minutes

So much for us coming out and putting em straight under pressure

FFS sack this fraud on the spot

Apparently pursuing him all summer and wanting George out. You can’t make it up

Even if we play for 2 hours, we’re not scoring.

At least those subs have solidified we have no chance so might as well not bother getting stressed anymore.

Maresca's brain should be donated to a lab for further testing.

90 mil worth of newly signed forwards on the bench, doesn't bring them on when we're 2-0 down.

How do you explain

- £140M of wingers subbed by 17th minute

- £100M of left wingers left on the bench

Finishing the game with 7 defensive minded players in a 10 v 10, 2-0 down. Maresca lost the plot

It can only be 2 fingers up to the board to use George with the players on the bench

f**king hell, United under no pressure at all.

Only Maresca would use our final 2 subs in Gusto and George instead of Guiu and Garnacho when we need a goal.

Sack him. I’m done defending him.

More we play George the less chance we'll have of selling him come January. of course it doesn't help playing the kid out of position all the time but he's nowhere near good enough for this level atm

The bad luck strikes again, I don't believe this current team has the ability to score twice here.

There's no bad luck about this.

It's a combination of our sh*te owners employing 2 sh*te directors of football that signed sh*te players like Sanchez and a sh*te coach like Maresca. To sum it up, it's a complete sh*tshow.

I know people think Palmer is dumb, but I don't think he is so stupid to believe he's not better than this. The guy is good enough to be challenging to for everything right now, not playing in a team as miserable as this.

Prob does not want to burn him in front of the United crowd considering the match is lost.

It’s so easy to to just replace the manager and everything will be fixed. Sanchez will magically become snake (Courtois), our two heavy and slow cbs will immediately become quicker and better… not even going into the subs… some are big question marks due to age and inexperience alone.

You know, santos wasn’t great today either. I too think he’s a good player who deserves minutes, but he’s not going to win us matches at this moment.
