⚽ EFL Carabao Cup 2025/26 Season

[$crypto$]

Honestly, I was low-key expecting Man UTD to turn the game around like they are used to doing but it's safe to say that Grimsby came all out for them I have to say that this has been the longest penalty shootout that I've witnessed in a long while and even though Man UTD tried all they could do to ensure they come out being the winners via penalties, today was just not their day. Wow, football can be really unpredictable.

In the end, Man United lost despite trying to equalize the score to 2-2, but they were unlucky in the long penalty shootout.

Some people questioned what happened to the Man United team causing them to lose to the underdog team.
It is possible that with this defeat more fans will be fed up with the result even though it is a small tournament, the defeat of a big team still causes ridicule.

It's really a surprise seeing Manchester United losing to Grimsby 2:0 at half time. Manchester United always find a way to disappoint their fans and at this stage I don't know if we should blame Amorin of the players. Amorin have not really been good at his job since joining the club but if the should lose this game then I don't think he is worthy of being the teams coach anymore.

The defense has been terrible but the coach is not seeing that they need to improve the defense, the team general performance is poor and the way it's going it's like Ten Hag was even a better coach than Amorim. Let's just hope they can turn things around at halftime and try to win the match, if not it will be a disgrace if they lose and get eliminated at this early stage.

If a team performs well we applaud the players more than we applaud the coach but if the team is in bad shape like the way Manchester United are we blame the coach and I agree with you that Amorim hasn't been the best manager to lead the club Manchester United, he hasn't done anything to say they have improved in certain areas. This is a game I expect Manchester United to win but losing to Grimsby 2nil is shocking to me, honestly the struggle is too much for the club at this point, if they can't beat this club, which other club can they be able to snatch 3pt from in the EPL?
I think they don't have a defensive problem that's to UTD fans, is all about the goalkeeper the blame will always go to Onana because they feel I mean the fans feel he is to blame for everything since he is the goalkeeper to stop the ball from getting in, I feel for the goalkeeper. They might draw the game because I just got a notification as I'm posting that Mbeumo just made it 2-1, there's still hope.

Can we really say that Amorim is the problem after all? Let us not forget that Ruben Amorim was successful at Sporting Lisbon before he came to Manchester United and the legacy he built in Sporting Lisbon is still working perfectly because even after he left the team, they still won trophy and till now the team is doing well. After Ruben Amorim moved to Manchester United the radiance changed and it now looks like he doesn't know what he is doing.
     They are lucky to equalize the 2 goals that they conceded against Grimsby in the first half, but everything seems to be like giving a patient medicine when they are already dead because despite Manchester United leveling the score, they still lost out in the penalty shootout as Grimsby have outsmarted them out of the EFL cup.

Wow mate, I really don't know what to say... Manchester United really were eliminated by Grimsby? For real? Grimsby could have even finished it in regular time as they got 2-0 ahead first.

But instead they did it in a more legendary way in penalties. It was only Round 2. I really don't know what's going on with Amorim's team. If they can't win even this match then which one will they? 

[Alpha Marine]

In the end, Man United lost despite trying to equalize the score to 2-2, but they were unlucky in the long penalty shootout.

I feel sorry for Manchester United at this point. It was fun to make fun of them before, but now it's just sad to see how far they've fallen off. They got knocked out in the first stage of the cup. So embarrassing. The players who started the game should be able to win the game, so there's no excuse. They've not been able to win a match this season, and this was a match they could have used to boost their morale, but they got knocked out. It's not looking good at all.

I'll continue to blame the coach for this. I have never been convinced by the team when I watch them play, and when a team plays like that, the coach alone is to blame. I know it's too early to sack him, but United better start looking for a replacement because Amorim won't take them anywhere. The problem is, when they fire him, they would sign another mid coach, like what they did when they fired Ten Hag.

Multi-billion crap Manchester United have impressive comeback after trailing by two goals against League Two team Grimsby but fail to qualify as they lost match after having 13 penalties shoot out.
Ruben Amorim is having another setback but still few chances available for him if he is able to convert them into positive.

Their conversation is surely problem for them while too many missing chances are surely problem now next challenge is Burnley at Old Trafford hopefully they will be able to provide good result.

They are lucky to equalize the 2 goals that they conceded against Grimsby in the first half, but everything seems to be like giving a patient medicine when they are already dead because despite Manchester United leveling the score, they still lost out in the penalty shootout as Grimsby have outsmarted them out of the EFL cup.

The heat in this match was so high that we have never seen it before as Man United lost this match after conceding three penalties. There may be no question about this team's performance in today's match because they were initially two goals behind but then they were able to equalize the score. Grimsby Town's reaction after their Carabao Cup second round win today was like they had won a top league title against Man United but they only got the opportunity to move forward by winning this match. However I was completely Shocked with Andre Onana's performance, It was largely due to this goalkeeper's carelessness that Grimsby Town had the opportunity to score the second goal in this match and we saw them dominate and advance to the third round.

It was all a wastage of time taking the game to penalties when they couldn't redeem themselves from being knocked out. Should allowed the game to end in the 2:0 because a lot of gamblers beit tickets has already gone shattered by their poor exhibition tonight. Like I said previously, Ruben Amorim doesn't fit in the scheme of the English standard of football, with the player he has now and still haven't won a single match even to the lower division team, what excuse can we continue to give for him.

[Sexylizzy2813]

I hope UTD have to bag this game no matter what because they have suffered a lot to get 3pt in the EPL 2 games they played and this game have to be an opener to get their first win this season at least let the fans have something to celebrate as a win before the league games comes up again. We know it has not been easy for them but going into this game will definitely be an easy one and I expect them go get a comfortable win against Grimsby that are not of the same level as them (Man UTD). Amorim should go all out for this game and those players who hardly start that he loves bringing from the bench at 70+mins should start especially the new striker Benjamin Šeško, it should be a game for him to excel big time. I expect more from the Red Devils with a wonderful display tonight.

Fans won't take it likely because they've been patient with him last season and supported him cause he came in halve way but he's had pre-season with the team and even got more players signed to strengthen the team so if better results don't start coming, I don't think fans would be wrong to start getting tired of him.

Well your are right because as of last November when he came as the manager (correct me if I'm wrong) up till now nothing to make the fans happy and with the start of this very season it seems like they're still in last season's run. Amorim always give that impression that he's confused about everything and I have that feeling that even after dropping his tactics he still doesn't trust them to bring something positive home. Now they lost on penalty shootout to a smaller team, what would now be his fate or what are we going to expect from him when the press begin to interview him? The fans are just patient enough to haven't started this showing of banner "Amorim out", some fans will not waste no time in showing that display.

There is clear indications that Manchester United will not even make any good improvements this season even with the new signings they made yet they it can't help their situation. Manchester United have been eliminated by a small team like Grimsby, what a shame though we can't say that Grimsby won in a legendary way because in penalty shoot out, any side can win so Grimsby were just lucky.

However I was completely Shocked with Andre Onana's performance, Essentially, it was because of this goalkeeper's carelessness that Grimsby Town was able to dominate and advance to the third round.

What a pity that a club like Grimsby could beat the whole Manchester United FC, despite the match started somehow that they score Manchester United 2 goals, later then equalize and we all thought that the match is going to end on draw, until we later see what everything turned to be towards the end of the match for Manchester United to have lost the game as Grimsby beat them 3:2 by penalty and won.

Managers like Amorim are not suited for clubs like Manchester United. I even don't understand why the fans were so excited when they brought him in. They should have seen this from miles a way.

If you are to bring in a person like Amorim, you have to give him 4 - 5 seasons to figure it out and build a team but with the impatience Manchester United has, they will be calling for his sacking soon  
Instead of wasting time, they should have just left Ten hag in charge.

Wow mate, I really don't know what to say... Manchester United really were eliminated by Grimsby? For real? Grimsby could have even finished it in regular time as they got 2-0 ahead first.

It’s surprising to me also, I never believed Manchester United will lose the match, a club like Grimsby eliminated Manchester United, seriously am disappointed in Manchester United, and I don’t even know the team which Manchester United will be able to win this season, if they can’t win Grimsby, then which team can they win? I don’t really know what Manchester United problem is, and I don’t know if Amorim will be able to fix Manchester United problem right now. Even after signing some players, there is still no improvement in Manchester United performance, I was thinking there will be changes in Manchester United performance this season, but there is no improvement yet.

[Woodie]

Well well well, looks like some of the big signings of Manchester United just turned into Villains against a low division soccer club which shows how much pressure goes to the players... If it was say crystal palace or Brentford losing to Grimsby, well it be the talk of the day and it ends there but unfortunately for big Clubs such as United, it's mentally draining and it's one of the reasons good players don't perform at Utd because they play under so much pressure...

Well you tried lads, better luck next time, Lord Maguire thanks for the brave fight

Maybe what's happening to the other players who left the club to other club might happen to him, like if he choose to leave Manchester United that he will do well with any club he joins. Amorim is completely confused on how to balance the work load of the team, now he can't come with that morela he had at Sporting CP, they are doing well doesn't mean Amorim can shape the Red Devils to what he turned Sporting CP to, this issue of United to from where we don't know so I can't say we have to blame Amorim for all that's happening to the football club Manchester United. Imagine they can't beat Grimsby at 90'mins but still even in the shootout they lost so this is seriously hard to understand what the club needs.

After the last EPL game of the season, Amorim promised the fans the storm is over and better days are coming, but nothing has really changed. His team is the same old Manchester United playing rubbish, conceding goals and dropping points to smaller teams. The fans are already calling for his sack on social media and It's just a matter of time before they start shouting "Amorim out" at Old Trafford.

[Stepstowealth]

Honestly, I was low-key expecting Man UTD to turn the game around like they are used to doing but it's safe to say that Grimsby came all out for them I have to say that this has been the longest penalty shootout that I've witnessed in a long while and even though Man UTD tried all they could do to ensure they come out being the winners via penalties, today was just not their day. Wow, football can be really unpredictable.

In the end, Man United lost despite trying to equalize the score to 2-2, but they were unlucky in the long penalty shootout.

The game should not have gotten to penalty kicks, Manchester United were lucky to score the second goal because Grimsby Club played better most of the game. Amorim needs to get to the drawing board and try to get things right because I do not think his job will be secured if Manchester United are unable to win their next game. I know most of the blame will want to go to Onana the goalkeeper, but he was not the only problem in the team. If Manchester United met the game with the correct mentality, they would have won. I think they were expecting Grimsby to sit back and play defense.

Grimsby shouldn't even be going 2 - 0 up against a team like Manchester United, this is a League two team for crying out loud. Things are turning from bad to worse in this team. This was a game that they were supposed to win without stress o the grounds that they used most of their first team players. I was even thinking that Manchester can actually get extra motivation from what has happened in their last two game, then use this one to save face but it's even worse now after this loss.

This is the biggest question here, after Manchester United lost, Manchester United fans have raised more questions about why such a result happened. Manchester United fans cannot accept it, although this is a small cup, they are still regretting the loss of a big team. I never imagined that there would be such a gap in the main game, because Manchester United fans were definitely inattentive to this game.
And in the end, up to 12 penalties had to be shot, a tough competition between the two teams, I am disappointed to see this competition between the goalkeepers of the two teams. And in the end, the defeat of the big team.

Considering how Manchester United situation is always the same year after year. Different managers same storyline, it feels like the club itself has been cursed or jinxed. Before Erik Ten Hag came to United he was a serial winner with Ajax, performed well in UCL too then he came to save United and was blamed for it, same story here now Ruben Amorim was doing wonders in Portugal with sporting Lisbon only to come to the EPL and it feels like he’s a novice coach that doesn’t know what he’s doing. Man United is gonna need more than a miracle to be better than this. This lose today will surely go down in history, I mean losing to Grimsby! Fucking Grimsby a team in fourth position in League two, that’s highly disgraceful for a team of the pedigree of Man United.

Indeed, Manchester United suffered their worst defeat in history, and there's no sign of a comeback this season. Grimsby truly made Manchester United look like losers. Ruben Amorim and his players may have underestimated the strength of the fourth tier team. From the course of the match, Grimsby even played more effectively, despite not dominating possession. They looked more organized in both attack and defense.

If the situation doesn't improve, Ruben Amorim fate will likely be the same as Ten Hag. Defeated by Arsenal, held to a draw by Fulham, and the latest humiliated by Grimsby, it's clear they need a miracle to recover from their slump. Manchester United next matches will be against Burnley, Manchester City, and Chelsea, and it looks like the nightmare will continue.
