The Manchester United Thread

What a performance again, atrocious really...

Edit: ****, sry, it was one of my templates for the United games.
 
Memphis was just amazing, the way ManUtd #7 should be playing. Taking full responsibility and playing with lot of flair. His tricks were so refreshing to watch when all season we have watched side way monotonous passing.

Rashford, Riley, Varela did really well. Lingard was embarrassingly bad. Few weeks he looks like a decent player and few weeks very atrocious.

Also Schneiderlin was a machine.
 
Fun game, it had everything. Missed penalties, red cards, early shocker, dramatic turn-around, stellar debuts and 6 goals.

First time this season that watching United didn't feel like gigantic waste of time.
 
We were good tonight but in reality midget land are an absolute nobody with not competitive match in 2 months, we will have way tougher teams than this. You can tell midget land fitness level took its toll in 2nd half.
 
Can't believe Napoli went out. Only sevilla or Dortmund now who u would really say is a threat (if we play anywhere near how we should be). Get a nice easy draw next round to get a few of the injured players back and we might have a chance

Now while I want LVG gone badly, I couldn't have blamed him if directly if we went out tonight what with 16 injuries or whatever. But I have to hand it to the whole team, I think everyone played their heart out today. The young fall backs were great, and I really like the look of Varela, Rashford was strong and fast, verymuch like a martial-esque player in some regards, and he bagged two very important goals tonight that then allowed us to romp them. Finally, Memphis, if this is how he is going to start playing from now on, then great because this is the form we were all expecting from him. Also, Schniderlin played well, absolute beast in midfield.

Anyone know how many interceptions he made tonight? Be interesting to know that.

EVERYONE'S a threat at this stage in two legged knockout European football. NOW **** get's serious.

Just PLEASE avoid us the next round. L'pool- Utd. Two midweeks. In Europe. That would be absolute carnage both games.

You said 'Thursday would be a test' and on that count United passed it easily. It wasn't the fitness that did them. United were simply good. It's as simple as that. A good United game.
 
They were good, but Arsenal are going to absolutely slaughter a backline consisting of Blind, Carrick and two youngsters. So you better hope Bojack and Smalling recover by Sunday.

Sunday is less about the players and more about the system, compact counter attacking against arsenal. Anything else and we will lose 3-0 again
 
Speaking of Mata's pen, I'll never understand why people have to side-foot them. Just toe-poke it with power and goalkeeper has no chance in seven hells to react. Even if he connects, 99/100 times the ball will break through his hands from that distance.

I get that toe shooting is frowned upon if you're playing on a schoolyard, but seriously, from 11 meters you just have to keep in on target. Ironically most of penalty misses happen because people try to place it too hard.
