How these roles work
Blamed (Causer)
Fans named this player as the direct cause of a negative outcome. Examples: "Maguire gave away the penalty", "Ten Hag's formation cost us". Scores are amplified when the causer is blamed clearly.
Sympathy (Victim)
This player was on the receiving end of something — a foul, a bad decision, being dropped, or let down by teammates. Fans feel for them rather than against them.
Credit (Beneficiary)
Fans gave this player clear credit for a positive outcome — a goal, an assist, a key moment. Includes players who enabled something good to happen. This is the co-winner of a match moment.

The Bigger Picture
The narratives running through this match — not just what happened, but what it means. These are the longer-form angles a creator can build a series around.
Captivating Talking Points
The commentators are really a special kind of dumb, they just love to be “balanced” or take the contrarian view for the sake of it. That was a clear foul by Sesko as any, he just stepped in to use his body without any intention to play the ball and here the commentators are saying there’s nothing wrong with that.

Stuart Atwell was less than 10 yards away right in front of them. He clearly didn't want to feel the burden of giving 2 penalties in the same game to the same side. Literally everyone can see he intentionally chose not t…
Redknapp is a cretin. Amad's shirt was grabbed as he was pushed to the ground. Says Evanilson's is a penalty purely because he was 'through on goal', ignoring entirely the fact he threw himself to the ground when Harry laid a palm on his chest. Pundits get to watch it back multiple times. Full speed. Slow-mo. Doesn't matter, Redknapp still gets everything wrong.

Why is nobody talking about how that penalty call was not just importsnt for us to go 2-0 up but also stopped bournemouth's equalizer
Someone should have just done a tactical foul after that incident and made them have a hard look. Plus stop the counter
But shocking how no commentator or studio guy is talking about it
People spend countless hours whinging on our ex-legends when false intellectuals like Carragher and Redknapp are allowed to galavant around

>How hard is this to understand
Don’t try to be clever. You are completely disingenuous and are ignoring my points about him playing well enough for PSG to buy him. Do you think that Ugarte doesn’t have the technical fundamentals? He is playing at the highest level in the world. You have made yourself look very silly with that comment.
Redknapp you helmet. A foul on the box is a penalty. Goal-scoring opportunities have nothing to do with it. Covering defenders have nothing to do with it. You are actually talking about red card criteria. A foul is a foul.
jamie is being paid thousands to give this punditry wth
actually incompetent. going thorugh on goal is relevant for a red not whether its a penalty
how can a two hand grab and push with MORE force not be a pen when maguires 1 is?

Red card for Maguire for his hand on the chest and no foul on Amad is a joke and why VAR is completely pointless and have only made football so much more frustrating. You just don't understand how they can get things so wrong with all the cameras available.
@fifi_august @markgoldbridge Mark Goldbridge (Man Utd fan) is ranting about their current match tactics. He's slamming the idea of forcing Bryan Mbeumo up front as a false 9/striker for counters—it’s not working. Suggests shifting Mbeumo to the right wing (his stronger spot) and subbing in Benjamin Šeško instead. Typical passionate Goldbridge react…
@ManUtd @asemota Not surprising—football awards have never been about who actually played better, just who was louder.

@1SamuelAfolabi @ManUtd Yes, it was an own goal by Bournemouth's James Hill. Maguire was heavily involved (header or shot), so ManUtd credited "Harry!" but replays show Hill's final touch into his own net. Still a United lead at 2-1. ⚽
Rooney had the base technical foundation to be good given a run of games. Ugarte does not. How hard is this to understand. If all every player needed was a run of games then any dude from the street could play for a top team given a run of games. Technical fundamentals are a real thing..its not about more runs of games

Is Jamie Redknapp suggesting that a penalty should not be given because there are other players around?
How does he get paid for this
I for one am shocked that Liverpool fan and former Liverpool player Jamie Redknapp thinks the referee got it right. SHOCKED.

Edit: Listening to this prick Jamie Redknapp justify why Amad's one wasn't a pen and Bournemouth's one was makes me want to stop watching this sport.
Also had Licha's goal at the Burnley match disallowed because of a foul that was deemed incorrect. He's had about 5 this season alone.
The Amad situation would probably have been overruled if Bournemouth hadn't scored the ref and VAR thought they'd lose control of the march if they ruled out a goal and gave a penalty to the away team. Simple and as wrong as that.
🚨 PGMOL should be ASHAMED! WE'RE LIVE! https://t.co/mVsYjZRFPW https://t.co/sLsaZBQ9hk
Both are fouls. If you actually think the Maguire one is more contact than the Amad one, you need to get your eyes checked and take off those Liverpool tinted glasses.
I agree, but do they not realize that with replays and now all the talk post-game about the error, it just highlights their buddy's incompetency even more!!
Sky Sports are an absolute disgrace as well. The difference in tone between the reaction there and how it would've been had a fraction of what went on tonight gone our way instead of Bournemouths.
Going on about a deserved point, as if we haven't just seen the most shambolic 45 minutes of officiating seen anywhere all season.
🚨 Half time! WE'RE LIVE! https://t.co/CghHSqjUJa
Bournemouth 0-0 Man United https://t.co/PbRe4wPWxq
◆ Broke Through — Quality That Beat the Algorithm
Commentators think both incidents are "right on balance" and that the officials "haven't got too much wrong".
Who are these people???
Why is nobody talking about how that penalty call was not just importsnt for us to go 2-0 up but also stopped bournemouth's equalizer
Someone should have just done a tactical foul after that incident and made them have a hard look. Plus stop the counter
But shocking how no comm…
People spend countless hours whinging on our ex-legends when false intellectuals like Carragher and Redknapp are allowed to galavant around
Refs can get it wrong sure, but how are the commentators somehow even more spineless after having access to multiple replays?
I'm generally quite forgiving of refs as it's hard and everyone makes mistakes. To have two penalties almost exactly the same and not give the one that was actually worse is awful. Just scrap VAR too if they're just going to back their mate.

I know right! That second United goal should’ve been disallowed for a clear push on the back of keeper before the goal. Refs always backing United
@Kel86870 don't even like United but they should've won this
Every decision was right. Move on
@EarlofSalop plz tell me u are joking, we are talking abt utd being targetted by refs but them being favoured, refs clearly favour bournemouth, that was a clear penalty for us the ref didnt give it and they went on the counter and scored, shouldve been 2-0 then

Maguire red card penalty
Bournemouth giving a penalty yellow card for the same

@lennon1482 It’s the same foul commitment whether through on goal or not. If you don’t give the first you can’t give the second. It’s about consistency.

@mojojojo6292oh yes because referring to Jews as the language police isn’t antisemitic at all now is it?
@Squadron_Bodron u have the attention u craved kid
@Squadron_Bodron does it? it’s just an adjective
@nathijomacbecause Hamas supporters have been using the term shock and its variants to help perpetuate the false idea that Israel is committing a “genocide”, therefore until that blows over, these terms should not be used!
No, he got the major decisions exactly right, except Amad should have got a yellow.

we're playing fairly well but i'm struggling to see what Mbeumo offers as a ST in these types of games. Seems like we'd benefit a lot more from Sesko there

Could have 100% sealed a top 5 spot tonight but the officials decided the CL race will be more fun if we don't win. Infuriating, and to top it off, 9 MINUTES OF EXTRA TIME?

Fucking hell the slightest tap is sufficient for a pen usually but two arms on a player isn't... Honestly so sick of these shocking referees

One of the most disgraceful reffed games I've seen.
Edit: Listening to this prick Jamie Redknapp justify why Amad's one wasn't a pen and Bournemouth's one was makes me want to stop watching this sport.

Absolute disgrace that Amads wasn't given if this is a red and penalty

I saw Arsenal and Liverpool flairs agreeing with us. That’s how you know the referee had a generational stinker

I'm generally quite forgiving of refs as it's hard and everyone makes mistakes. To have two penalties almost exactly the same and not give the one that was actually worse is awful. Just scrap VAR too if they're just going to back their mate.

Pros of having a long break before our next match but man, it's such horseshit that Maguire got that red while we were completely robbed of a stonewall pen.

We have been robbed. This referee is a fucking coward. No such rule where it says a team cannot be awarded multiple penalties in a game. VAR useless sacks of crap as per usual.
Proud of the players. We're in a great position going into the final stretch of the season. Come o…

Robbed tonight. We’ll probably get an apology in a few days and there will be no consequences whatsoever.

Should have been 2-0 and a very different game, only the ref and VAR absolutely stole the show. Bottled it so fucking hard.

Micheal Carrick has set our standard so high now that draw feels like a loss.

Just look how gutted the players are, they knew this game had to be a win, the referee denied us that💔 pic.twitter.com/ZyWVQkCeAr

Despite the poor refereeing, we still should be allowed to review the match. Carrick missed a trick by not starting Sesko, a focal point would have massively helped us during a first half that we dominated. Mbeumo goes down as a success this season, but he doesn’t do enough for me in buildup. Mainoo exceptional in the first half, faded slightly in the second but that was expected.

Aside from the ref discussion, I'm a bit critical of Carricks choices. Not sure if constantly going with Mbeumo as a false 9 is wise. Mbeumo's output has gone down drastically because of it. Amad isn't used properly, while Sesko is often sidelined. Not to mention not enough is being done to create a rythym with Cunha. Management has to find a way to have the front 3 work better together.

I wouldn't give Carrick the job, we haven't progressed, we're just not bad anymore. I'm annoyed that Mbeumo continued to start despite being crap lately and sending on Sesko on too late. The game changed itself, Sesko couldn't then change it. Should see that.
It's a thing fans always say, start a player, it's simplistic but I hate managers not being flexible. If not start him, send him on way…

The whole VAR review system for overruling on field decisions just reinforces bad inconsistent decisions. On field refs hesitate because they think VAR has their back, and VAR is designed to back the on field refs unless something was missed. Its a feedback loop of weak subjective decisions.
