Erik ten Hag and Thomas Frank have disagreed over a controversial moment as Manchester United came from behind to beat Brentford 2-1 on Saturday afternoon.

The Reds secured a crucial victory on Saturday afternoon, ending a winless run of five matches across all competitions, to come from behind at Old Trafford.

Brentford took the lead just before half-time when Ethan Pinnock headed home from a corner. However, United had to wait until after the break to respond, with Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund both finding the back of the net.

Their goals were brilliantly set up by Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes, respectively, which turned the game on its head in United’s favour. It took us a while to get going but the Reds dominated the second half by some margin.

De Ligt talking point
Brentford’s goal before the break caused a lot of debate in the aftermath.

Referee forced De Ligt to leave the pitch on multiple occasions, including the final seconds before the break when United had to defend a Brentford corner.

That was when Pinnock headed in the corner.

The rulebook states that if a player is subject to a bloody wound, they must leave the field of play until the bleeding has been stopped.

De Ligt’s cut kept opening which cause the problems.

Ten Hag has explained that he and his squad felt injustice at half-time because they believe the referee made the wrong call as De Ligt was not bleeding.

The referee was pointing to dried blood.

“We felt injustice at half-time, and we used it as fuel for the equaliser,” Ten Hag told reporters at full-time, as per BBC Sport.

“We didn’t know why the referee brought one of our players in a critical moment off the pitch. It was dry blood – it happened before.

“Then in a critical moment on a corner from them – which is their strength – they bring one of our best headers off and then Brentford take benefit from it. Of course then you are frustrated.”

Thomas Frank disagreed with Ten Hag after the match, stating that he felt the referee did a good job (of course he’d say that).

“I think it is good refereeing if I am honest. If Manchester United took the corner and we took out Nathan Collins because he was bleeding, they would want to take the corner…”

Breaking: Coaching Staff Under fire after Packers’ Loss

Breaking: Coaching Staff Under fire after Packers’ Loss

The Green Bay Packers never used to lose to the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field.

Now they haven’t beaten the Lions at Lambeau since Aaron Rodgers’ MVP season of 2021.

With their 24-10 victory on Sunday, Jared Goff became the first Detroit Lions quarterback to ever win three straight games at Lambeau.

Any time the Packers tried to make the game competitive on Sunday, they made another silly mistake.

There was not just one unit willing to make those mistakes, either. This was a team-wide failure, and the weekly Packers report card reflects it.

Pass Offense

No, Jordan Love was clearly not 100 percent healthy. His groin injury affected him throughout the first half.

That being said, once you step between the white lines, you have to play well.

That’s what the Packers were signing up for when they gave him $220 million this offseason.

To date, he has not been worth the extension.

Yes, there are some big plays. Love is as talented as anyone at quarterback. He can make plays that make you say “wow.”

The problem is, he makes a lot of plays that make you say “wow” in the other direction.

Sunday’s game was a prime example.

With the Packers trailing 10-3, Love threw another terrible interception that was returned for a touchdown. It was his second pick-six of the season. He has thrown at least one interception in all seven of his starts.

That’s something that can be overcome against middling teams, but it’s not winning football against the league’s elite.

While Love finished with 273 passing yards, a big chunk came after the game was decided.

His accuracy was spotty, and his decision-making might have been worse.

To be sure, the receivers did not help him out. Dontayvion Wicks had two more drops. Christian Watson misjudged a deep pass against one-on-one coverage. Romeo Doubs, Tucker Kraft, Bo Melton and Chris Brooks had drops.

It was parade of errors in the passing game, but it all comes back to the quarterback.

If Love was too hurt to play, he should have sat.

He didn’t, so there is no grading on a curve.

How it went down as the Lions win big on rainy day in Green Bay

How it went down as the Lions win big on rainy day in Green Bay

No matter the opponent, the Lions keep winning big.

Today it was the Packers at a wet and rainy Lambeau Field, in a game that was expected to be one of Detroit’s toughest tests. But the game didn’t turn out that way.

The Lions jumped out to a 17-3 lead at halftime, expanded it to 24-3 on their first possession of the third quarter, and then took their foot off the gas for the rest of the second half and won 24-14.

The Packers actually out-gained the Lions by more than 100 total yards, but the Lions were in control throughout the game.

A major question facing the Packers is that Jordan Love continues to look like he’s struggling with his knee and groin injuries, and the Packers’ offense has actually played worse this season with Love in the lineup than it has with backup Malik Willis. The Packers need to get their offense fixed. At 6-3 they’re very much still contenders, but the way they’re playing right now isn’t good enough to beat the best teams in the league.

The Lions are playing well enough to beat anyone. At 7-1 they have the best record in the NFC, the inside track for home-field advantage and the No. 1 seed in the playoffs, and a great chance at the first Super Bowl in franchise history.

Miami FL Quarterback Cam Ward Faces Disciplinary Issues: Coach Cristobal Confirms…

Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward is facing disciplinary issues, confirmed by head coach Mario Cristobal.

The announcement came as a surprise to fans and analysts alike, as Ward has been one of the team’s key players this season, demonstrating both leadership and skill on the field.

However, Coach Cristobal addressed the situation in a press conference, stating that the team’s values and standards must be upheld, regardless of a player’s position or importance to the roster.

Cristobal did not disclose the specific details of Ward’s disciplinary issues but emphasized that the matter is being handled internally. “We hold our players to a high standard, both on and off the field,” Cristobal said. “Cam is a talented athlete with a lot of potential, but he, like every player, has to adhere to the principles that define our program. We believe in accountability, and that means holding everyone responsible for their actions.”

Ward’s situation has cast uncertainty over Miami’s quarterback lineup for the upcoming games. The Hurricanes are in a critical phase of their season, with challenging matchups ahead that will require focus and cohesion among players. If Ward faces suspension or reduced playing time, it could alter Miami’s offensive strategy, placing more pressure on backup quarterbacks to step up.

Despite the setback, Cristobal expressed confidence in his team’s ability to move forward. “We have depth in our roster, and everyone’s prepared to give their best effort,” he added. “It’s about resilience and sticking to our goals as a team.”

The news has generated mixed reactions from fans, with some praising Cristobal’s commitment to discipline, while others worry about the impact on the team’s season. Ward’s future with the Hurricanes remains unclear, and Miami fans will be watching closely to see how this situation unfolds.
