Lisandro Martinez sees RED as Manchester United LOSE to Chelsea: What is your INSTANT REACTION?

What does this defeat mean for Michael Carrick? The players keep letting him down...

joecut13d ago

It was sickening how Lisandro Martinez let his manager, his teammates, and the fans down against Chelsea. His stupidity ruined United’s revival this season. The team's first-half play gave us hope. With Martinez, there was always a danger he could ruin it for us. He did. Two bookable offences in just 90 minutes. Unbelievable!

css4d ago

Martinez once again shows who he really is, a hack. The Butcher is just that and its time to sit him and unload him in January.

homoar4d ago

why not put on Lacey to try improve the finishing, as none in the team knows how to score

matthew.johns5d ago

It just keeps going from bad to worse for United, I don’t think the blame lies with him but Carrick’s days are numbered…

stephenjholmes14d ago

I really want Michael to succeed. He is making it impossible though. He keeps using the same underperforming dross, and yet never tried a different approach. Academy players CAN make a difference. We don't need to have a team full of them, but Lacey, and Amass even being given a chance would be a start. Don't change, and nothing changes!

james.brooke5d ago

Unsurprising really. Don’t think Chelsea have been as bad as their fans are making out. Roma is a big one now. Very winnable CL game. Clearly they want to back Carrick, or just don’t have a viable alternative, otherwise he’d be gone already. Europe could give a platform to build from again or could sink them even lower

stephenjholmes14d ago

They will play the kids against Roma. We will win, and every one of the academy players will get 10 out of 10 rating, then they will never step foot on the grass again! Sound familiar?

donaghcorby19975d ago

Is that poor fella ever going to be able to cut his hair?

jonathan.gorrie5d ago

Martinez has checked out. Thinks he's above it. Fine to slam Wilcox but at least get your own house in order! Dreadful

paulsworld715d ago

Martinez has already decided he wants out and as soon as he can. He wants Atletico. If he plays, it’s like knowing you have a fifth column in your team who can let you down at any moment.

caleb.sage5d ago

Football is fine margins man. United could have easily won that game in the first half.

stephenjholmes14d ago

We could have won against Brighton, but it just seems that we are determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in every game.

stephenjholmes15d ago

I cant wait to be playing against Bolton again next season. It's like going back in time to the inception of the Premier league !

lrandall12105d ago

He’s always been a liability

daviescallum425d ago

What an idiot, I’d be furious with Martinez if I was a United fan.

shamanth.jayaram5d ago

Should Wilcox come out and question Martinez now? Sadly, Carrick has to go and these players need someone they fear. Conte is that man

stephenjholmes14d ago

The only thing Wilcox needs to say is goodbye. I actually thing Boris Johnson would be better than Wilcox, and I despise that dirty blue ba57ard. We have been destroyed as a club since SAF, and the clueless board are putting the final nails in our coffin ⚰️

antonymmartin845d ago

Poor from him to even give the ref a decision to make, but…that was so, so soft.

stephenjholmes15d ago

@antonymmartin84 there was nothing soft about that. The ball wasn't even in the same postcode when he threw himself at the player. Their was zero defence to his lunge. Especially considering he had just been carded anyway.

jjflash4225d ago

It was so soft but totally inept defending.Since when does a defender not look at the oppo in the box and just crash into him.It was stonewall,he's checked out.

kyle.dimond5d ago

Never liked Martinez’s attitude but an awful showing from him today. Doesn’t feel like the players have much faith in Carrick or belief that they can turn bad situations around.

geldroper5d ago

Get rid of that loser as quick as possible. He planned this because a hit like that mkes no sense. He is doing everything in his power to get sold and get rid of MC. He was the 12th man on Chelsea and any other team

febced15d ago

Let him leave immediately, as his negative attitude is not helping anyone. He's just going through the motions. Carrick must also go as he has offers ZERO managerial expertise.

dancoombs5d ago

I really do think the club will push to try and sell him in January

luksricky5d ago

I have realised today that it's not MC, rather these imbecile players.. fk

dancoombs5d ago

Yeah, I know the results aren’t improving but I don’t really see how they could sack him after that.

jordan.harris5d ago

Martinez should never get to play for the club again. Embarrassing

deansexton465d ago

Bruno needs to go to

dancoombs5d ago

He should have scored in the first half. So wasteful. Complete lack of composure

deansexton465d ago

we need 2 strikes in January and the a new team starting with Wilkox gone

james.brooke5d ago

Which two strikers could you realistically get in January who are good enough? I doubt there’ll even be one available

seanfisher5d ago

Yep, if any change of manager is made (it should) then it HAS to be joined by Wilcox leaving

seanfisher5d ago

There is a real rot in this team, attitude problems just spreading throughout the squad. Feel for Carrick, but also don’t see him as the guy to turn it all around, so hard to see where we go next? Conte?

dancoombs5d ago

I don't think they have the bottle for Conte. But who knows, they may get desperate

dancoombs5d ago

The players have let Michael Carrick down again. I do think his job will be safe for the next couple of games vs Roma and Aston Villa at least, despite ANOTHER defeat

seanfisher5d ago

Do you really think he can turn it around with two extra games though? I just don’t see it getting any better sadly

dale.odonnell5d ago

Martinez has let everyone down and should never play for United again. Collapsed after a strong first-half display.

kyle.archer5d ago

Carrick's refusal to even look at Martinez as he headed down the tunnel should be a sign that he will not feature again for a very long time, but do Man Utd have enough alternatives to freeze him out?

dancoombs5d ago

At least he is suspended next weekend. I doubt he starts vs Roma either

david.comerford5d ago

Carrick won't survive much longer but that loss was on the players. The lack of discipline in the 2nd half shows they've given up on this manager

chillout5d ago

Hopefully he will get a decent payoff. I can’t see Carrick getting another Premier League any time soon. Might be a job to do at West Ham soon.
