Won't be surprised to see Fellaini at the start of the second half. We need to take control of the game. His physicality should help theoretically.With the pkayers and management we have how do they not understand they can't shut down after scoring one goal?To think the reward of this competition would be games against far superior opposition.
The closest thing I can compare this to is the endless times England show up at tournaments thinking they're in good shape only to get outplayed by a better organised, more confident team. United of course should win this and are the stronger team on paper, but from minute 25-45, is as bad as they've played in last three seasons.
Most frustrating thing is it comes off the back of the best performance in three seasonsHappy with the team , not seen any of the first half so cant comment, but I an not happy with the score.
How did we play ?
This. Carrick and Pogba alone in CM simply does not work, right now they are just strolling past our CM and those two don't have any chemistry either it seemsFellain is the answer! No, seriously bring him on and help control the middle. Also tell whoever is playing on the right to try staying there every once in a while.
This.
The way that ball lay for their first goal reminded me of the Lampard champions league final goal a bit, in sheer luck.
Then the one that deflected off Blind, caught Bailly out, and fell straight to their man!
Cripes.
Offensively I think we've done better. For a change their keeper is actually playing well.
I was fuming.Surely Ander and Tony Martial on at half time to inject some energy into us, keep Wayne in reserve too.
Huge half time for José really. Their midfield making it look easy, that Tielemans and Deon Doncker partnership wouldn't look out of place starting for us.Is Lingard playing?That injury to Rojo disrupted our momentum. I'm really nervous that we might feck it up.Bit worried to be honest.
After dominating the first leg and conceding a last minute goal, here at OT Anderlecht are playing much better.
Their goal came from Lingard messing up his ball in. When we take too long and then try to cross/shoot we seem to always be liable for a counter. Sick of seeing the blocks around the box then us running back like muppets.
Yeah, we need to take control of midfield, either Fellaini or Herrera on.Anderlech have been anything but lucky. They're playing us off the park right now.
Somebody who can clearly see the difference in talent and pedigree between the two teams. Stop talking crap. That first half was atrocious.
Yes win against West ham and we're top 4 even with all bad results before it.Pogba and Carrick are not doing enough to protect the back 4. Carrick is not doing much offensively either. I hope Mou gets it right today, but have a feeling that Ibra will let us down. Would love to be proven wrong though.
Tottenham 2009 CL finalNot sure where the thread is but the atmosphere in OT tonight sounds absolutely dreadful, except for the anderlect fans. Remember anfield in the europa quarterfinal last year, it was electric..This game is made for Felliani. I can't believe I said it.
Was this in a champ man save?Yeah, Shaw offside line was dreadful, it might have done him for the season.
Not his forte? our season and probaly next season depends on this game. he needs to be aware and stop being lethargic defensively. he needs to hold the midfeild as going forward their is very little movement for him to assist something and he cant score himself . We loose one goal more and we'll need 2 to go through.
Should ask if he fancies a game.
I really have no idea what level they should be on. But most on here were happy with it.Watching the goal again - Blind is the only one actually trying there. Carrick and Shaw literally standing with their hand up, looking at the linesman. Fecking hell.
A win against Leicester instead of a draw and the West Ham result would've mattered feck all.Think of the money the club would save if the players wages were performance related!!!
Anderlect friggin Anderlect
Why do we always end-up getting shown-up in the Europa League by much weaker teams than ourselves like Bilbao, Liverpool and Anderlecht?
Rojo , looks like he could be out for a while.
Who is this Rocko they are talking about
As I say I think you're finding a scapegoat in the guy that had just come on.
The commentary and analysis has just made the point about Shaw too, granted Blind has a hand in it but it's not solely down to him.
Should have gone with the same lineup that won against chelsea. Zlatan just fecks up all buildups with his fancy passes. We need to be direct, midfield is just non-existent. Defenders have to pass to full backs to take ball forward. Its baffling to see how good we were on Sunday and 4 days later we are served this shitshow again.
He doesn't go back, but the ball goes backwards. It isn't offside.
I don't know, because we might need Carrick to drop to the defense later.We are making it harder than it actually is as usual. Several players need to buck up.I d change Carrick for Herrera and Lingard for YoungWhy are they blaming Blind in part for the goal? Seriously splitting hairs with the mistakes.
We were playing really well and should have been 2-0 up before Rojo went off injured. From that point onwards we were dreadful.- Status
