wow okay thanks

Tavares with 300iq mind games of giving away a pen to be missed lmfao

And downing the entire United team morale in the process. You can't make this shit up

At this rate I'm going to need a new heart before I turn 25 💀 Both this the last one against Chelsea have been absolutely nerve-wrecking

As soon as penalty was given, I turned off my stream only to check score now, and see this...

What the fuck I was expecting Xhaka to get sent off, not score

🤔

They are really psychologically a mess.

Especially after Ragnick said the whole team needs an overhaul. I don't see the players fighting for him for the rest of the season. Fuck these players.

What the fuck was that

The cherry on top, Ramsdale's celebration

Shades of Keown on Ruud..

Exactly what I thought of, hope there’s a good photo of it

u/poorlydrawnarsenal plsssss

Was watching the replay and that immediately came to my mind.

Pure shithousery

Thats the best part lol

Hilarious all round. The punch. The slow run up. The miss. Ramsdale running up to him to celebrate. Great stuff.

Prime United, that’s what

If Ten Hag wasn't already bald this job would make him lose all his hair in a month.

He can lose hair at different places

Can't wait for his manscaped ads

Speaking of, that stuff any good?

I've been thinking about buying one but I don't know. I am scared that the product sucks and they just use influencers and YouTubers ad their business model instead of making a good product. If anyone has an honest review, feel free to tag me

Same, I'm sick of nipping my balls with my beard trimmer and then my face smelling like balls

/u/Transit-Strike /u/thanlong90 It's half decent. not the miracle product its made out to be, but works well better than sticking a normal beard trimmer down there. If you're gonna get one, make sure to use one of those Podcast discount codes cause its pricey.

Need to make /r/properunitedthat.

Ronaldo is in Brunos head

21 men vs Ronaldo

20, Sancho has been good honestly

19, De Gea has been good as well.

18, bottles of beer on the wall

Why didn't they let Ronaldo take it? Its seems they deliberately trying to fuck up

Probably because Bruno has been in bad form and the goal was to help him a bit. But it backfired.

That''s something you do when you're up 3-0, not when you're playing an important match down 1-2. What the fuck is wrong with United, they're literally self sabotaging.

I mean, before Ronaldo arrived, Bruno was the penalty taker and barely missed any. That was one of the reasons they were second even. Just that their mentality at the moment is so shit that he also starts missing. I might be mistaken, but I think Ronaldo also missed a penalty this season as well.

He has been shocking for months now, I was 100% sure he'd miss when he stepped up. Ronaldo has been on point the entire match. Completely brain dead decision.

Ronaldo missed his last pen for United. When he first re-joined Bruno kept pen duty until he missed, so they're probably switching like that

Him not taking the pen is actually madness

Matic's got an assist and won a penalty

that run up should be banned

The Zaza+Jorginho special

If I had to take a penalty by tap dancing barefoot over hot coals, I’d have a more composed approach than this

Tavares you lucky lucky man

Calculated

Ramsdale celebrating a great save

Celebrating like he won the champions league

We're gonna manifest our way in. No attack and defence, just celebrations.

You're going to get one of either Bayern or Barca in your group stages and the other in your Ro16. It's inevitable.

[удалено]

If your club has shown me anything, they love to give you guys abit of hope before the pain.

so, gonna beat Barca in first round just to lose to Molde next game?

Molde can't qualify for the 2022/23 Champions League as Bodø/Glimt won in December. But I agree with your sentiment

Hey don’t trigger our PTSD

Looked like he was celebrating at Bruno. I get the sense goalkeepers aren't fond of those stupid little dancey un ups.

Fake it till you make it

Him getting a quick celebration in while the ball is in play after the save against Dalot is peak Ramsdale.

Bru-NO

WE DONT TALK ABOUT BRUNO-NO-NO-No

We don't talk about Bruno

FernanYES!

FernaD'OH

Watching people miss stutter penalties is always some lovely instant karma for me.

Been chasing the high I got from watching that Zaza penalty miss years ago.

Zaza is the purest form of ecstasy

Don't forget his teammate Pelle telling Neuer he's going to chip him and then shooting way wide [in the same exact shootout](https://youtu.be/Tuq-Abpta_A)

What a weird edit

Thats when thug life memes were at their peak

me and a few mates took the train into London that night, got out and ran into a pub just as he was doing his run up

Could probably have got the train back by the time he finished his run up

I HATE stutter penalties. The immense rage I felt when Rashford missed that penalty in the euros was unprecedented. Just run up and thunder-cunt the thing

Literally. You're 1-1 with the keeper. Just pick your spot and shoot. All the mindgames, stutter business has really become over the top lately.

It's the cleanest best pleasure

[удалено]

I absolutely despise the stutter penalty bollocks. Wish there was a rule implemented where your run up has to be consistent.

if there is a rule against pretty much any other form of “deceiving” during penalties I don’t get why stuttering is still allowed. Feels like a legal loophole that you can do it with how much shit you can’t do during a penalty

I can't stop laughing at it. The kick itself looks off to me too.

because when he stopped after the stutter he stopped too long and broke his own momentum. His run up looked wonky this time.

This was screaming Ronaldo hat trick-United comeback, and what they do, they let Bruno take it

Exactly what I was thinking, like come on.

Yeah dude I spit my coffee out on my couch I couldn’t believe it. Hat trick previously, gets the goal this game, and not trying to sound insensitive but the passing of his son which I see as a motivation for him (CR seems crazy like Michael Jordan to me and would fuel off this goals ultimately give him his biggest high) and watching Bruno get the ball I lost it, then laughed pretty hard

Looked nervous beforehand

Felt Ronaldo's eyes prying in his back

Probably thinking about Ronaldo’s hard year in 2021, despite the goals he scored in all the competitions

WHY NOT RONALDO

100 goals is enough apparently

Top 10 unsolved mysteries

Hahaha

I got a text from my neighbour because their kid heard me yell "AHHH YOU WANKER!" thru the wall

Sounds like a wanker

Why no Ronaldo?

Ronaldo actually picked the ball up, was surprised to see Bruno on the Pk spot

they switch when one misses, Bruno missed against villa, then ronaldo took em, then ronaldo missed boro now bruno took it.

That just puts even more pressure on them both right? Just pick one and let them take them all until they have 2 shit ones in a row or something

What a stupid rule especially when you have Ronaldo. I'd only take it from him if he misses three in a row.

Bruno has been shit all year and low on confidence. Could see that miss coming from miles away

I was so relieved when I saw Bruno was going to take it and not Cristiano. I knew the chances of a miss were much higher. Cristiano Ronaldo is not missing a penalty against Arsenal FC lol

Did we have another penalty since Ronaldo's miss vs Boro? Because that's probably the reason.

So are united going to change pen takers every time someone misses?

Watch da gea miss penalty soon

We watched him miss one last season.

bruno play shit for the past 10 games now. his confidence is all time low. its literally the worse time to take a penalty especially with his style where confidence is the key.

I swear to god everytime someone goes to take a pen outside of the obvious choice (here Ronaldo) they miss. Saw it coming a mile away.

The last time I saw Fernandes take a pen instead of CR7 was against villa and he smacked it over the bar. Thought he wouldn't fuck this one up but here we are

I really don’t get the thought process behind not letting one of the best penalty takers of all time take penalties.

How else is Bruno going to pad his stats

Well he’s certainly padded one stat, not sure if that’s the one he wanted though lmao

exactly

How on earth do you not put Ronaldo on the spot.

[удалено]

Lol that's such a stupid strategy, fucks mentally with the takers

That’s just stupid af. Ronaldo’s been on fire lately

what is the point of a Penandes if he cant score penalties

He’s an expert referee harasser.

Complaining at the ref and getting booked

A Penandes grants you 1 free ankle breaking tackle without a red per game.

He can twat opposition players without getting booked. Multiple weeks in a row.

Man pulled a Rashford

Saka did not

Too soon 😭

Htf is Ronaldo not taking a high pressure penalty like that??

Yea fuck the "rules" of the team. You can't design a player better suited for this.

Naff pen. Ramsdale's celebration has me wheezing though. Mighta done an adebayor if he'd gone the right way

That celebration will always be a mental image for me

Holy fucking shit put Ronaldo on pens 0/2 so far this season

Both off target too.

Thank god! But Tavares’ IQ can’t be more than 63 🤦🏽‍♂️

Every game. It's shocking.

Can't say that Benfica/Portuguese fans didn't warn you, when he first started playing very well and everyone was praising him.

Most Benfica fans were downvoted because he looked like the second coming of Christ, but we've watched him for years. A good stsrt won't fool us. There's also the fact that all big 3 fans agreed he was fucking awful, when that happens you know something is up.

It happened for us too, started very well in pre season and as time went by his IQ just got lower and lower. What a shit player and horrible teammate.

I’ve never seen a player consistently make the wrong decision every single time

Benfica fans were right?

They were.

No shit

Yes.

To think that we were downvoted because he looked like a football player initially, fun 3 weeks. Guess what? A dumb and bad player won't suddenly become good in a few months, shocking really that the fans that watched him play for years pretty much agreed he was awful.

athleticism can cover for a lot of deficiencies, but yeah he was certainly priced that low for a couple of obvious reasons lol

I think he still shows moments on the counter where he looks quite sharp, he looks more like a winger than a fullback. His defending is shocking, down to basic fundamentals my 10-year-old nephew knows better.

Get holding in I’m shitting myself

Also, can be please stop shooting every time he's near United box?

Man straight up did a nazi salute

Incredible, what has happened to him man.. his confidence is at an all time low. He would never miss.

He has cost United 4 points by missing 2 penalties this season . wdym he would never miss

Yup this season, not the two past seasons it was like a guaranteed goal for him

Ronaldo should 100% be taking penalties. What the fuck is wrong with Manchester United. Disgrace.

Just beautiful, no one i would rather watch miss a pen against my team

Still baffles my mind how you got Ronaldo in your team and not give him the penalty... And I'm a Barca fan.

ok then...

Unless Ronaldo didn't want to take it, which I highly doubt because the man is so good at dealing with mental pressure, letting Fernandes take it ahead of him is a crime. This is a huge 3 points and Fernandes is really weak mentally, especially in recent times when he's played shite. Ronaldo all day long regardless of 'record'.

It’s 2-1 put Ronaldo on it

Why didn’t ronaldo take?

they switch after they miss. ronaldo missed against 'boro

Maybe he's not in the best of the moods considering the fact that a pen has much more mental pressure? Or Bruno just wanted to take it this time.

bruno mentality is much worse tho. he hasnt has a single good game since forever now.

I dont think Ronaldo of all players is worried about mental pressure

Serves him right for the tosser run up style.

KeownJump.mp4

I feel sorry for ronaldo

Lmao what is that run up.. and then missing like that.

Pub is full of United fans, biggest cheer of the day...

I fucking hate the way players take penalties now wtf is up with that little stupid steps

disasterclass from the stat padder

Cycle of an United player: get paid -> become shit

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke.

Smfh...

You fucking twonk, Bruno. LMAO

the ministry of silly walks wants to know your location

Fucking knew it the second he did that cunty little run up

Shame

Penalty that sealed our chance for top 4… Ronaldo is in team for reason

Ramsdale’s reaction is everything

Why not ronaldo tf

Lol

I was hoping that he would miss when they didnt give the pen to Ronaldo, United is a fucking mess

Ronaldo never giving up a pen again

You give it to ronaldo easy and simple

This is armchair manager at its finest but I don’t understand why Bruno takes penalties when Ronaldo is out there. If Portugal are playing the World Cup Ronaldo is taking it. Why is it different at club? Edit: I saw Ragnick’s answer and now I’m a sad for both of them.

Premier Leagues most overrated player

Should 've let Ronaldo take it

Hahahahahahahaha what a fucking twat!!! Hahahaah

Second time taking a pen from Ronaldo, what the fuck is Bruno smoking?

Why the fuck is Bruno taking penalties? You literally have a Ronaldo in the team who has been memed cause he scores so many penalties

What a knob. Ramsdales reaction is the best thing I've ever seen

Man loves a good shithousing

When it's a big-moment penalty and you have Ronaldo in your team...

Why didnt Ronaldo take it?

poor rat boy

Known for his penalty taking on his Wikipedia page loooool

WHY NOT RONALDO

Flair doesn't check out

I know a thing or two because I have seen a thing or two.

Everyone in football knows if Ronaldo is in your team, he should be taking penalties

You fucking idiot Ronaldo is going to kill him in the dressing room

Absolutely beautiful to see someone do the bunny hop and completely miss the target. Couldn’t be happier, what a prick.

Ramsdale celebrating like crazy lol

bruh moment
