A second miss from 12 yards in as many games cost the Red Devils again but their manager says it's just part of the game
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has played down concerns over Manchester United’s prowess from the penalty spot after a second miss from 12 yards in two games cost them again against Crystal Palace.
Solskjaer said that continuing to put themselves in good positions would yield results in the end.
"Two games, two missed penalties. It’s part and parcel of it,” the Norwegian told the BBC after the game.
“Sometimes it happens. I have missed a few myself. If we score them it’s a different story.
“If we keep putting ourselves in those positions we will get more penalties and we will score. It is just one of those things. We trust them to score again."
"They scored two and we scored only one,” he added “We just were not clinical enough in front of goal and they scored two very easy goals. I thought we got our act together second half, we just couldn’t hit the target.
“We have dominated the game but we have not controlled it.
"We should have dealt with the last five minutes better. We defended poorly at times today and it cost us. Sometimes you do not find that end product and that happened today.
“We did not test their keeper enough. It cost us dearly today."

Every one can miss a penalty. It does not mean that Rushford and Pogba are diffent to other players.

Playing lingard over Fred and Perriera and playing James on the right just to make space for misfiring rashford is pure rasism from ole

I can now safely say OGS is favorite on the sack list. Blind ManU fans will always want to be Thomases. Gudluck with what ur watching. A coach that favors English players so as to keep his job is a damn shame. No backup for Shaw. No replacements for Herrera n Fellani and an average dancer Lingard who can't even in be Everton's starting 11 but is a player in United team sheet. Shame on United. I'm gutted.

Lingard should be on the bench.you right about mata.better and takes better free kicks also
Fred is the best in free kicks where is he now?Injured or what?

Stop blabbing ole. You caused it by playing lingard ahead of Mata. We need to have a good no 10 who can pass in between the lines and breakdown defence. This is just the beginning, many teams will come to OT to sit back, defend and hit back on counter. We need to penetrate defence, those final passes have to come out. Until then, man utd is fucked
I don t see what he sees in Lingard.Is he like his goat as Fellaini was Mourinho s?

i think ole made a big mistake,becoz the best way ws bringing bruno fernandes as # 10,& keeping lukaku as a striker

Ole Gunner is a very big FOOL. No single experience at all, how can he be benching senior players with experience like Mata & Matic and be using small boys with no experience like Jesse lingard & McTominay
where in the hell where you when jose used to play matic and mata. You ppl where the ones who got annoyed which resulted him in getting sacked. Hypocrite😒

Play Mata ahead of Lingard. Should have brought Mason much earlier. Pogba should be more proactive. looses ball easily. Bad day for Utd. plenty of possession but no creativity in midfield. Andreas should play regularly as a sub

I hope next time we lose, Lingard will not be playing. He is terribly inefficient! I miss Lukaku.

why coach of now a days put so much faith in kids? very risky to me as they could lost the title even before the Christmas.
That's because they themselves know that they are not at the same Level at the moment as Manchester City and Liverpool..It's gonna take time but they'll improve..Winning the title this season?There's no chance.

man u can't win a game if they play for he opponents. win the ball and they give it to the opposition. well played CP thanks to man u. Man U have no strategy at all. no set piece plan. no penalty taker. no defence. can only lose .

bench Lingard and give chance for Mata and or Sanchez. United is good but Ole should start to use experience ahead of the youth up front there.

I don't know the problem of some coach,when you have Mata and believe to play lingard ahead of him.
Lingard should be on the bench.you right about mata.better and takes better free kicks also
