Speaking after the final whistle, Solskjaer played down suggestions that Ronaldo had appeared unhappy with the decision to hand the ball to Fernandes.

"This is going to be the headline," Solskjaer said. "Bruno has been excellent and Cristiano is probably the one who has scored the most penalties in world football.

"It is just a missed opportunity to get a point. You will be making all these assumptions on the reactions of players. Bruno is such a good penalty taker and you would back him with your mortgage."

Meh, Tuchel will have his boys back in line.

Chelsea decided to pick up where they left off vs the first half of Spurs.

We definitely need a back up striker badly
Have a striker tandem under the age of 30 earning more than £30M this year yet yearn for a backup striker brehs:francis:

once you bring in ronaldo as great as bruno has been you let ronaldo take the penalties. the one thing ill hindsight is i want to say the other time bruno missed a penalty he didnt do the hop, didnt do it here either. like im sure someone said earlier the result needed to happen to spark a change whether thats style of play or ultimately a coaching change. that said will anything change? no

Brentford:ohhh:

The amount of clubs in London is insane

In the situation Fulham, QPR and Millwall make it to the Prem next year and all other London clubs stay up, you’d have 9 LDN clubs by my count...

Chelsea, Spurs, AFC, CP, West Ham, Brentford, QPR, Millwall, Fulham. Pretty much half the league.

as someone said, you can’t look at what Tuchel has done for Chelsea and still have excuses for Ole. There’s Pep, Klopp, Tuchel and you think you can compete against them with a PE teacher Ole?

This. Tuchel had the same exact squad as Lamps, like player for player, and took them to T4, FA Cup Final and a UCL win. Management matters.

One thing the United board gotta realize is this, the MUFC brand was built on success, which means winning/challenging for trophies. Man U isn’t the brand it is today if we were just making Top 4 in the Fergie era.

Ive had this discussion with my brother a few times. I thought it was plausible but not for the near future. Too many relegation candidates and teams who people shouldn’t expect to come up like Millwall

True, but of that list, 6 of the 9 are already in the Prem. Fulham yoyos quite a bit but right now look like they could be back. QPR are upper half of the table and within 4 positions of the playoffs.

Millwall is wishful thinking though.
