The Manchester United Thread

Very disappointing to have players who are good on the ball, but actually seeing none of it.
 
About what I expected tbh. 8 changes most of which have not kicked a ball this season, different formation and away in Europe is always tough especially for someone like Rashford leading the line alone.
 
Delighted to see Depay get his chance, hope he makes an impact!
 
I thought that was super tactical defending from Bailly to play him off, undone by the officials.
 
I haven't got BT Sports, I'm listening to the game on Talk Sport.
I know it's still early on in his reign, but where is the "SPECIAL ONE".
I haven't seen any difference really from Louis van Gaal reign in performance's so far this season.
I never want Jose Mourinho to given the job in first place, but didn't expect this type of performance from his team.

Only thing you can say for that is absolute ******* *****. Yes there were changes, yes there were players playing that havent played much, yes we was away but come on. Not one decent shot on goal in 90 minutes and it wasnt like we had a team of kids out either. ******* disgrace that performance.
 
Boring game, poor ref, far too many fouls he kept giving but no punishment. United were shocking. Okay defensively. very poor forward, no attacking threat. No shots, no creativity. NO PRESSING! Thought we would have learnt the importance of that last one after the city game.

What? It's been loads better than LVG so far! We beat the champions in a good game in the Comm Shield. We cruised against Bournmouth and Saints playing some good attacking football at times. Against Hull we absolutely dominated in all aspects was attack verses defence for 90 mins. We played well in the second half of the Derby, and what did you expect tonight free flowing football with most the team changed and not played a game this season.
 
Think I'd be most disappointed at not testing Brad Jones. Who's an even worse 'keeper than Mingolet which is quite impressive going.

Bad night but there's 5 more to get back on track and the other game finishing 1-1 is a bonus.

I'm not one to whinge or dwell, and I'm always a preacher of how difficult some offside decision's linesmen have to make, especially in the split second of live action... but for crying out loud, this is what, 10 yards from him? Bailly probably thought his shrewd move (moved up to play him off) was undone by Darmian far side or something, he'll see later how it wasn't.

We simply weren't good enough, yes, but that's really poor officiating.
 
This performance reminds me of good old van gaal days...but with less possession.

I love it how quickly teams are in crisis. Liverpool were after a few not so great result post beating us at home. We're in crisis after drawing the hardest away game in our group and United are in crisis after losing to the best team in the league and 1 game in a group which they'll probably win.

Modern day football mate. Absolutely ridiculous. It's either one extreme or the other with very little middle ground.
