The Manchester United Thread

I was never expecting us to play smooth flowing football tonight, but I don't know what this would be called... Very poor, missing every chance, last ditch tackling, poor passed and not winning the second ball.

Disappointing, was looking forward to a good game tonight

I was optimistic going into the season... everything we done bad last season has shown up tonight... not so optimistic now that's for sure.

Poor performances all around, system and tactics have been just as bad mind you.
 
real have run us ragged but theres no shame in this,they are the best side in europe by a distance imo.We are moving in the right direction,no need to panic

Is there really anything to say we are moving in the right direction after this? Not good enough in my mind.

We've played right into Madrids hands, sitting deep, no pressure. As good as they are I agree with Scouse, you want to at least engage them higher up the pitch and put more pressure on their defence.

They are a great team but their defence is as suspect as ever. We haven't put enough pressure on it so far. When we do it looks shakey.

I did. I had an interest on a Madrid 4-0, which it should have been in truth before the bad 'keeping there from Navas, but that's gone down now. Just what was over in an account so no harm no foul.

Done well, but too much defensive responsibility on him. Herrera and Pogba very poor. Fellaini has offered more than Herrera in 5 mins, which is saying a lot.

That's what he's bought for mate, to take that workload off Pogba.
 
Just wondering if tonight was a bad night for Herrera or proof as to why he has never been an elite player. Very disappointed. Not going to write him off though, this season will be a big test for him with bigger and better opposition in CL.

really need to take into account the heat bro,real far more used to playing in these temperatures or similar anyway.check the average temps of madrid v manchester
 
Also, say what you like about Fellaini and his lack of football ability, aggressive manner or whichever of his many fault's you decide to go with, but he's a ******* game-changer.

You've just spent 3 weeks training in the mad Californian heat.
 
Fellaini been very good.

Think I'd rather lose this with a respectable 2-1 than do the whole extra time and penalty lark. Gonna knacker our players.

I know people like this trophy, but in the context of our season, it's not that important.
