If we had more games like this, De Gea could have been MoTM more times and maybe even player of the season.

as it is, he'll sing the madrid contract without so much as a backward glance

 

[Frank Grimes]

we're basically playing with 10 men with rooney so him getting sent off won't have any effect whatsoever

He set up our only 2 good chances.

 

[ariel]

Pretty embarrassing. Not only our offence is terrible, even our defence is having a bad day.
Tuanzebe is being lost in midfield

 

[coolredwine]

This is worse than what we saw in LvG's 2 seasons here. Absolutely cowardice performance.

 

[red4ever 79]

To be expected

De Gea - World class MOTM so far
Smalling and Jones - The football equivalent of the Chuckle Brothers
Carrick - Is he playinG?
Rooney - Everything from his hair to his football is wrong. Likely to be sent off in the second half
Lingard - Seriously who?

 

[fellaini's barber]

Bailly is a better right back than the guy who has been playing there constantly for the past 4 years. When last did Valencia even get to the oppo box

 

[Rado_N]

What's funny about that?

 

[Scarecrow]

Amazing that we're still in the game, considering the performance.

 

[LazyRed-Ninja]

Couldn't agree more with this. Admittedly he is a terrible footballer these days but, he has given us so much in the past.

Exactly, like one of those hollywood agents who drop their clients like a sack of potatoes as soon as their next album or movie flops. Embarrassing to see fans here exaggerating in their criticism. Yes, Rooney has declined and isnt a starter anymore, but he more often then not put the effort in on the pitch.

 

[Fracture90]

You think Jose will allow DDG for a bargain basement price?
No chance. He'll play hardball and if need be, hold DDG back, till the last day of the transfer window.

We shall see.

 

[coolredwine]

He set up our only 2 good chances.

He was also responsible for the goal.

 

[mitchmouse]

He's the only one showing some flair tbh.

and a great one early for martial who did sod all with it

 

[minoo-utd]

After DDG performance in this half, Jose should really think playing him in the final!

 

[Earthquake]

Who can we put on for Rooney lads??

Have Mourinho tog out himself, bound to be an improvement.

 

[mitchmouse]

are mata and lingaard actually playing?

 

[Catt]

Everyone likes to slate him, which is fair based on performance, but give Rooney credit for that ball to Bailly

Nice pass it was.

 

[Raven Blade]

Just because we expected this type of game, it doesn't make it easier to watch. Second to the ball all over and just being out worked by Spurs. Would like to see us contributing a bit more to the game. There's places in the Europa League final up for grabs.

 

[TheGame]

To be fair, we had players like Ferdinand, Evra, Giggs, Vidic declining and i cant remember them receiving the same criticism as Rooney has received (assumption).

I don't think any of them declined at 31 in fact they were still displaying top performance. The decline of Rooney at 31 has been astonishing.

 

[Litch]

Come on, what more did we expect given that side for this game. How many of these players are gonna start the opening game next season...?

 

[Zii]

Mourinho is an asshole if he gives Rooney another 90 min.

Hopefully he keeps playing 90 minutes until eventually he has to say "sub me off im done"

 

[el3mel]

The state of Smalling and Jones is very worrying before the final. Why the feck did Bailly got that red ?

 

[Leftback99]

I want to see how Romero plays in a game like this where he has to make countless saves and catches and if he stands up to it

We'll find out a week on Wednesday.

 

[crossy1686]

Mourinho is an asshole if he gives Rooney another 90 min.

The last game of the season will be his last game for United so we'll see him get 90 minutes and a send off.

 

[AXVnee7]

I respect Neville's opinions highly especially as a pundit and commentator but he made one really daft comment in the first half. Something about Spurs showing us the level we want to be at.

Last time I checked the level Utd want to be at, is Champions. Not 2nd. Not European flops. If anything Chelsea is the level we want to be at, seeing as y'know they actually are the PL winners. I'm pretty sure we can look back on some of our previous teams for a barometer of where we want to be.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

33% possession

Sure it was 28% earlier, we're getting into the game lads.

 

[George Feeny]

As big of an idiot as the other 10...Are you watching the game?

Yes, and among 10 had outfield players (De Gea has been fantastic), one of them is standing out like a sore thumb. A 16 lb bucket of cholestrol who can't control a ball. And I'm not the only one who's noticed that.

 

[TheGame]

What's funny about that?

Never mind.

 

[Android1974]

With have a midfield 3 of Tuanzebe, Rooney, Carrick at WHL. Jesus H Christ.

We're playing 4-2-3-1, Rooney's not less advanced than Mata or Lingard.

 

[Frank Grimes]

He was also responsible for the goal.

I know and he got hammered for it. Give him some praise for the good stuff he does though.

 

[mitchmouse]

After DDG performance in this half, Jose should really think playing him in the final!

romero deserves to play - he has also been outstanding whenever picked. if only some of the outfield players were as good as our keepers

 

[ManUnitedCanuck]

I cannot watch Daley Blind make another long pass down the side. Ffs play proper football down the middle

Not certain you can blame Blind. Often when he gets the ball, we have 6 players behind him that were defending, so there isn't much of an outlet available. It's just the way we are playing.

 

[GifLord]

Spurs chance - United chance - mehhhhhhh

 

[Zii]

Come on, what more did we expect given that side for this game. How many of these players are gonna be in the opening game next season...?

Most of them? That's the issue, our squad is so bad.

De Gea, Mata, Martial, Smalling, Jones, Rooney, Lingard, Carrick will all be here no?

 

[mav_9me]

This kind of a performance is imo a direct result of Mourinho's approach. What I mean is as he has given up on the league, his players have too. They are going through the motions.

Unacceptable imo. Whatever the team SAF always made sure we tried to win.

This is no different to Moyes. Moyes words were defeatist whilst Mourinho's aren't but ultimately the approach is the same.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

After DDG performance in this half, Jose should really think playing him in the final!

He won't now. Stubborn cnut!

He's already planning on selling him to RM. The only thing you can say is that Jose does get feckin good goalies in.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Souness the smug cnut

 

[shield]

Pretty good counters towards the end. That is what we are trying to achieve IMO. Just not coming off. Don't think it will either. Can clearly see a little better quality down the middle would work wonders.

 

[Catt]

as it is, he'll sing the madrid contract without so much as a backward glance

You have to sing the contract? That's embarrassing from Real.

 

[3KDré]

It's very evident we have been set up to conserve energy, defend and just go home. I don't care about this match, evidently nor does anyone at MUFC. It's fair enough though because if we win the Europa League it's all worth it.

 

[Android1974]

Mourinho is an asshole if he gives Rooney another 90 min.

At home to Crystal Palace, to lead the line with all the youngsters, for sure.

 

[Rado_N]

Never mind.

Quite bizarre to be laughing at the age of Pogbas dad when he passed away.
