Can we just put on Martial for Rashford. Call him

Martial is injured, of course.

Wheato · Feb 23, 2022

McTominay needs to come on and get stuck into them, because we are not matching them physically. They are winning the ball back too easily.

L1nk · Feb 23, 2022

Why are we all friendly with these cheating thugs in the tunnel?

Dr. Dwayne · Feb 23, 2022

Ok team of two halves, here we go!

EtH · Feb 23, 2022

No changes. Bold.

They play with intensity but they also have a numerical advantage with that line of 5. In order to beat their system we need to pin their wingbacks deep and force them into a 532. We also need to add someone in midfield, Bruno not playing as a second striker could be enough.

Not easy to pin them down with that fool Rashford

In a game where we had zero touch inside their box, I'd say that's domination

That is being defensively organized, I don't consider that domination per se. Maybe people who like defensive football do.

L1nk · Feb 23, 2022

Absolutely no changes? What? Oh come on ffs

Ive always maintained the players are not utd quality, they are not quality enough to be playing at this level.

No manager can polish turd.

Yeah I agree. Needs someone to be ruthless and cut players not up to it. Problem might be that the managers hands are tied to a certain extent when they try to do exactly that. Frustrating as hell.

Why do we refuse to make subs when the existing setup clearly isn’t working?

Hugh Jass · Feb 23, 2022

Start better hopefully.

Hope they come out all fired up in the second half. Time to grow a pair of b*llocks!

When was the last time we even did that? This team has zero backbone, they fold under pressure.

What if this was the good half

?

Come on lads. We can do much much better

Judas · Feb 23, 2022

Fred.

IF Fred isn't a defensive midfielder, what is he?

Genuine question.

CM. He’s been a CM even b2b CM who would bring play up the pitch his whole domestic career and for Brazil. Why we let him screen deep is a mystery.

Imagine this lot during the treble run-in. 2-0 down at the Stadio Delle Alpi, these players get back on the plane at half time.

It takes some imagination because you wouldn't be in a treble run-in.

Started as we left off

Not in the squad

He would have started if fit

48 hours · Feb 23, 2022

Awful Fred

Mike Smalling · Feb 23, 2022

The real tragedy here is the lack of excitement. We are in the CL knockouts and we can't get near the oppositions goal. I would take a narrow loss, if it actually meant chances in both ends.

This is just brutal to witness.

2 man midfield · Feb 23, 2022

What on earth was that? :lol:

diarm · Feb 23, 2022

Both these commentators keep saying "Afleti" and it's really annoying me.

feck off with your racist agenda! He’s been no worse than the rest.

Why is that racist?

Adisa · Feb 23, 2022

I don't know why people are shocked. They are a better team that have turned up. The narrative before the game was unrealistic.

JinnerJamie · Feb 23, 2022

No midfield…

jeff_goldblum · Feb 23, 2022

For every 2-3 of those little tactical fouls a team commits, the ref should be allowed to hand out a yellow. Defanging team fouling as a defensive tactic would be the best thing to happen to football since the backpass rule.

UncleBob · Feb 23, 2022

fred iq 150

BuzzKillington · Feb 23, 2022

We need something here, our season is effectively over in fecking February if we come out and play like the first half again.

Come on you cnuts!

pratyush_utd · Feb 23, 2022

Bruno and Pogba are nowhere to be seen..
And Maguire is so poor

PoTMS · Feb 23, 2022

Here we go again. We badly need a #6.

FreakyJim · Feb 23, 2022

another great start

Well obviously not, but I’m just comparing the mentalities. We don’t have any bottle.

Then let this be the first time. If they can't get fired up for a Champions League game at this stage, then they don't deserve to be wearing the shirt.

Still cant believe we didnt get a DM during the winter period... McT isnt good at it and Fred is even worse at being a DM

I agree with Schloesy, midfielders should do it all. All this CDM nonsense needs to be put to bed. It rewards mediocrity and by god are we mediocre in midfield.

VidaRed · Feb 23, 2022

fred

Rightnr · Feb 23, 2022

If Bruno could play as well as he whines, we'd have another Ronaldinho on our hands.

C3Pique · Feb 23, 2022

Maguire just doesnt learn does he

Drifter · Feb 23, 2022

FFS Fred

pratyush_utd · Feb 23, 2022

Need Matic for Bruno or Pogba..
