Manchester United 2:1 Anderlecht

Globule · Apr 20, 2017

We're setting ourselves for an absolute sucker punch towards the end of the game. I can see it written in the stars.
We really need to come out all guns blazing, because I think 1 more goal just won't be enough for us.

minoo-utd · Apr 20, 2017

Ffs guys don't ruin our week and season. Blind is a disaster, I would have picked Mensah instead.

GaryLifo · Apr 20, 2017

Reckon we're going out here. No way they don't score again second half.

That was an appalling performance after we lost Rojo.

We started well but after that absolute shite.

Zlatan and Carrick aren't coping with their pace and pressure. Blind is shite. Pogba and Shaw are the best players.

Ander must enter the pitch ASAP

Pogba and shaw best players? not even close. rashford is the best player in the half.

Secure that 1-1

If we concede the next goal, we're fecked. Scoring isn't our strong point.

Hugh Jass · Apr 20, 2017

It doesnt matter who you are playing, if you dont work as hard as them, you will come off second.

Even if we get another goal it will be nervy because all they need is one.

Our minds are not in it at all. Zlatan and Micky T will want to up it because they are not applying themselves at all.

I called it before the match. They get one and it changes the whole match altogether. We needed to be 2-0 up by twenty minutes. Instead we slacked off after the first.

Going to be a nervy second half.

ash_86 · Apr 20, 2017

We cannot handle fast counter attacking sides. Carrick and Pogba are the two slowest players you could put in the middle to counter the threat.

Snow · Apr 20, 2017

Need to sub off Carrick. He's offering us very little in this match. Too slow for Anderlecht's quick attacks and he's not taking any part in offense.

FireballXL5 · Apr 20, 2017

And there I was thinking we would use the Chelsea result to kick on.....but we're back to the same old, same old.

Maradona10 · Apr 20, 2017

Please dont feck this up. Please dont feck this up.
Is it too soon to get the gods out?

Ram1fy · Apr 20, 2017

Rooney to save the day. You heard it first here.

Yes It was the West Ham game that cost us 4th place. Genius

You're the only genius here. If we won it we would have been 4th already.

Janson · Apr 20, 2017

If they only score one, we're fecked.

He's good too. I forget him.

Different system last season. He's playing in a team that is attacking more this season.

True, but I think he looks less 'at it' than he did then and a lack of game time is a fair explanation.

A half that promised so much turned on a sixpence when Rojo went off. We need to keep doing what we were doing in the first 20 minutes and we'll be fine (also get some fecking composure in front of goal, I won't hold my breath for that though).

pseudo_canadian · Apr 20, 2017

Herrera will rescue this for us if Mourinho wants to win.

Rawls · Apr 20, 2017

I think we look too open at the back. We have had more verticality in attack which has created some good chances e.g. Pogba's through ball to Rashford. On the other hand, we are not controlling the game as well as we did last week, and this has caused some haphazard defending and lack of structure at the back.

Sylar · Apr 20, 2017

That Rojo injury has fecked us.

I think we need two goals in the second half. Given our bench, I think we might need to bring on Young for Shaw to help our Blind, which is a nuts sentence.

groovyalbert · Apr 20, 2017

we're going to need at least another 2 here, no way Anderlecht won't score again.

Smores · Apr 20, 2017

I hate Blind at CB

We rose our game

No, we played well away against this Anderlecht team, totally dominated possession.

Adisa · Apr 20, 2017

Bring Herrera on. What's the point saving him if we don't reach the semis.

Shaw - Young or Darmian
Carrick - Herrera

Do it at half time please, Jose.

And use all our substitutions?

SuperiorXI · Apr 20, 2017

We are our own worst enemy, happened twice now against Anderlecht!

groovyalbert · Apr 20, 2017

Also, Ibra's hardly getting into the game

stu_1992 · Apr 20, 2017

So why did we stop playing after we scored? Did we think we had the game won? Stupid, sloppy stuff. Disappointing. The Rojo injury is a concern too, and surely that disruption didn't help.

Paxi · Apr 20, 2017

This is what's so frustrating, we play well for 15/20 minutes with verve but tail off thereafter. No urgency, no cohesion. It's like we lose all our confidence and all our tactics go out the window. Second part of the first half was absolutely fecking shocking. What's worse is that it's not the first time that's happened!

caid · Apr 20, 2017

Anderlecht look a hell of a lot better this leg.
We really should have put the tie beyond them in the away match, opportunity wasted and I'm just not confident of us getting through this game with the result we need

RedNed77 · Apr 20, 2017

Ok the plus side we're usually good in at least one half. Can't get much worse than that one.

top1whoisman · Apr 20, 2017

Our season might collapse with the injuries in the centre of our defense. If Rojo is out for the season, I think we'll go with:

Darmian-Bailly-Blind

...but we're really running out of options. Might even see Tuanzebe or Carrick there.

Janson · Apr 20, 2017

We need some energy in midfield.

minoo-utd · Apr 20, 2017

We really need a real good H.T talk by Jose.

Djemba-Djemba · Apr 20, 2017

I don't even know why I'm surprised.

This is what we do, when it really matters we're shite.

Offside said:
Anderlecht = Confident, energetic and accurate in passing

United = Nervous, static and so so sloppy

Yet you can still see they aren't all that and we are much better. We are simpt doing our usual formula at home and letting teams into it. We are going out unless we wake up.

We are going out. No intent, no purpose, no energy. Not like we haven't witnessed anything like this before? And why rotating players game after game? People complaining about lack of understanding. Every week there are different set of players playing together, don't think that will help players develop understanding.

Rado_N · Apr 20, 2017

We definitely need at least two. Can't see them not scoring again.

Can we not completely embarrass ourselves tonight? That'd be nice.

It's what we do now. One good game then back to the barely caring shit show

Take Carrick off. A midfield 2 with him is suicide.

Herrera pls Jose

No a 3 man midfeild.

MoskvaRed · Apr 20, 2017

15 minutes for Mourinho to show his worth. Herrera on, Zlatan off - very good goalscorer but shades of Ruud 2006. And hope Blind and Shaw can avoid fecking up for 45 minutes.

Ramshock · Apr 20, 2017

If Herrera doesnt come on for Lingard we are out!

Why was anyone optimistic again? As I said pre match, we are going to draw this 2-2

No one cares for your negative guesswork.
