Fair dues to Sheffield Wednesday.

At ht, 0-0 they were 22/1 to win, took the lead but Leeds scored late on.

Leeds missed their first 3 pens, DCL included.

The Owls scored all 3 and go through again on pens.

~Rebel~

Another good win for Keith Andrews over a pretty strong Bournemouth side too. Things looking better than we feared over there now, players he needed to step up chipping in with goals - newcomer Ouattara at the weekend, and both Carvalho and record signing Igor Thiago tonight.

ShamoBuc

Grimsby 2 up after 30 mins.

Onana proving he is brutal, simply brutal.

United have to buy a good keeper or they will be abysmal all year in that position and suffer as a result.

They’ll still win this as they’ll make changes, get 1 and the momentum will change completely. Grimsby were tiring there last 5. Was an incredibly bad performance by a PL side so far though.

McDermotX

More than enough quality in that ManU side to recover in the 2nd half. Just two things needed

1. Go out and do your own thing. Forget whatever some lad in the dugout is telling you

2. You can't play without a GK, so just find someone else with hands and stick them in.

McDermotX

That rain will do wonders for Onana

SuperTortoise

Utd should bring that keeper home with them

McDermotX

Interesting.......linesman fooked up there. Fairly simple one as well, not like a handball in the melee etc

Should be 3.

eigrod

That’s an awful decision by linesman. Should be 3

ShamoBuc

United blessed not top be 3 down. Goal should have stood.

McDermotX

One back...game on

SuperTortoise

That was'nt offside and should have stood, but to be fair their second should have been ruled handball

ShamoBuc

Interesting last 14 now.

SuperTortoise

Does this go to a replay?

Irish Aris

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123760548#Comment_123760548

penalty shoot out I think.

McDermotX

Straight to pens

As much as it would be a shame to not see such a cultured exploration of the sport for another 30mins

ShamoBuc

Harry has a habit of doing that to be fair.

McDermotX

Good jaysus

What a miss in there

Looked like Sesko. Which probably sums up his game

8-10

Onana redemption arc here we go!

Time to be a hero Andre, get that new contract

TitianGerm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123760620#Comment_123760620

I think De Ligt took it off his toe?

ShamoBuc

Ordinally, you would be confident of United winning the penalty shootout, but with Onana in goal it adds to the lottery nature of pens.

Staunton had Sesko in his pocket when he came on

McDermotX

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123760635#Comment_123760635

Might have. Only saw the one replay. Shocker either way

McDermotX

Fernandes staring down the Grimsby fans after his pen. That's right. Grimsby fans.

Tough way to go out, certainly for Grimsby. ManU deserve nothing after that display.

McDermotX

Nice pen from that Staunton lad, but down to the final one here

McDermotX

I'll never understand pens like that.
