I know he's been out a while, but starting to give up on Sancho unfortunately. Still zero intensity in his play, and looks meek as feck. Don't think he's got the mentality to succeed at this level.Barcelona looking so un-threatening. Unless we gift them a chance, doesn't feel like they can be incisive enough to score.
Come on!!! Let's keep it tight at the back and let's win the game.Garnacho is going to have a field day if we stay in this game
it’s his spacial awareness which is the problem, he never looks around - he has zero picture in his head.
he genuinely thinks he has enough time to do a lay over and run onto it because he doesn’t know people are around him.I’m shocked how average they are. We face better opposition on a weekly basis. We should have been one or two up if we didn’t give them so much respect.
You would be better off demanding better from the other areas of the team that need improving more.
Should come in for low-energy Sancho.
its the 1st in la ligaReally a gripping game so far.
Only frustrated that we couldn't capitalize on the chances we've had. We definitely had the better chances I feel.
Really great to see how well we've progressed as a team. Exciting times, win or lose.Man city or Arsenal would make light work of this Barcelona team. They are playing nothing special especially when they’re trying to build from the back. They are giving the ball away as well. But this Man Utd team, with players like Fred, AWB and Weghorst constantly giving the impetus away and losing the ball, is struggling to create sustained pressure. Bruno needs to freaking track back and not walk around on the pitch as if he’s out for a stroll.Wout has been pressing alright I feel, so is serving a purpose, just should have scored that chance.Bring this game to OT at a draw or even a narrow win, I'm confident we'll go through.
Hopefully we have one of the Antonys back as well.Frustrating half only because we aren't up a goal. They were on the ropes for a bit in that half.
With that said Weghorst is an anchor weighing this team down, he's painfully slow. I couldn't believe how long it took him to get that shot off and it still wasn't a clean strike.very good game but quite sad commentary here in India.
Second half will be interestingDoing well, certain players a bit too sloppy in possession but have mostly recovered well. Weghorst should have buried that chance. Certainly no signs of sitting back and trying to eek out a result like we would've done in previous years.Playing very well. Love what ETH has done with this team. A better striker and better partner for Casemiro, and we're leading this game at half time by at least two goals, imo.Dalot for AWB in the 2nd half please
AWB has no place playing in the Nou Camp
He's been poor.Dalot and Lindelof on for Sancho and AWB please. Varane is on yellow and we need one more option to play from the back. This is exactly like Leeds game but then Barca has more quality to punish us. They are pressing us very high .Was a good half, lots of positives. We could do with a better outlet on the right, Wan Bissaka hasn't been great (wonderful challenge on Alba though).You see the fear in Barca when Rashford gets the ball. Same can't be said for the others, unfortunately. Except maybe Bruno in dangerous areas.Better team at camp nou, ill take that for a first half.
Right?
we aren't clinical enough.
Sancho is the worst player on the pitch.It’s been pretty decent, with the usual mess that we’ve had for years now with AWB and Fred.
Just stay in the game and bring them back to Old Trafford. You know they will play in the same manner and I’m confident we can rip them apart. If away goals were a thing I would be saying to go for the throat now.
la liga watchers have been saying this about them for most of the season. They’ve hardly conceded but looked likely to do so
Wout might be championship standard but he's doing a lot more than Sancho
He's been so dismal i think it'd actually be cruel to put Sancho out for the second half. This must be like a mental battering every time the ball goes near him.Good one. AWB is going to costs us, though. In no man's land all the time, terrible on the ball. Weghorst has to score that. Sancho non-entity. Need Dalot on.Better half from us, we looked more threatening. If only we cut out the silly errors playing out the ball from the back we shouldn't be troubledShame about not taking a chance, but other than that not a bad half. Barca with lewindoski are always going to have chances but I'd say we had the better ones.
That's one of the most dodgy things I've ever heard in football.
Oh most definitely.
Its probably the key piece of EtH strategy tonight I would think. Super sub.
Sancho hasn't done too much, even though he hasn't been bad either, just not very effective.
Garnacho will expose this defense with he's pace and trickery.
60th minute hopefully.I really hate that Webuyanycar advert.
Possibly but Real are European champs and they can’t get anywhere near this Barce side currentlyShould be ahead really. Few sloppy mistakes aside been quite good.
Don't rate the ref made a few strange decisions.
I think whatever happens tonight based on what iv seen so far Barca may be there for the taking at Old Trafford next week.Their defence is crap. The la liga level must be around ligue 1 it seems if theyve conceded only 7 times this seasonActually pretty impressive. Pressed well, felt their keeper made 2 good saves from Wout and Rashford. We’re well in thisI wish we’d give up on this Weghorst experiment, if we are throwing him on near the end of a game fair enough. It’s like playing with 10 men, first touch is shocking and doesn't even win his headers.Hopefully we can get Garnacho on as soon as, think he will worry them. I don’t think we will miss Wout much at all.- Status
