Take that one sack of shit off, and the rest will automatically improve.Soft pen but we’ve been outclassed, have to make changes at half time.We’ve been poor. Other than the Bruno chance which I’m still livid how he missed that, we’ve been crap. Only positive to take is that’s it’s only 1-0 Barca.
Ref is worser than the bloke we had last week in Spain.
My argument against him. You can defend the pen from a technical, in-the-moment point of view. But when you consider what he refuses to consider a foul outside the pen area, its just a joke
what is his reputation?I'd keep Sancho on and push him up. Weg off for Sabitzer. We need to control midfield urgently.
Easy to win 50/50s when the ref calls every one you lose a foul by the other side. They've made mistakes and we've not been allowed to capitalize because the reffing has been horrendous.EtH is a goof problem solver mid-game at least. Plenty of them to solve right now.
But that pen man.... there should be 100's of pens a season if that's the bar for contact.
That’s the point…he is playing as a number 10….he NEEDS to be on the ball to justify his place in the team….if he is not on the ball that’s his fault
Seems a simple fix. Then you have garnacho for sancho as the 2nd sub after 15mins max if nothing is changing
he’s playing as a 10, you’re making the same point without realising it. zero impact and given the ball away every time .
stop fanboying and be honestVery poor half after the goal, anxious and Barca are clearly winning the tactical battle tonight.
Changes needed, if not players then the shape has to be fixed, would get Antony on as soon as possible if fit, push Bruno back to the middle.
Eye rollingly soft pen but always likely to be given in this era.Playing with 9 men. Sancho after a bright start wilts away as the going gets tough. Weghorst on the other hand is just painfully out of place at this level. The worst player on the pitch by a countrymile especially as a striker.
EtH needs to switch some of the positions around but most importantly we need to wake up on the ball especially in midfield.
Agreed, their best chances were created by us ffs.Bent referee. Too obvious.
You've never played football. Sorry, it's just insanity.
No he hasn’t. He’s just run around. They both need to go.
At least Sancho can control a football at times.
This Barca team isn’t very good, but we have so little quality on the ball with some of our players that they are just daring them (Wout,AWB, Fred) to beat usWeak as feck penalty. We need more energy in 2nd half.Massively important HT speech and sub management now. Bring on Antony, Sabitzer, Garnacho. Marcus has to play through the middle, Bruno too, get him off the wing
That is an over-reaction. We played very well until the goal and it knocked the stuffing out of us. Ten Hag needs to change things and play Rashford thro the middle. Sancho looks lost as a number 10.
There is another 45m to go.So one-paced, it's unbelievable. Weghorst and Bruno are not the guys you want running in behind on the break. Very easy night for Barca's defenders.we are so poor as soon as they press the midfield instead of high pressing. Rashford static, WW is, well, his limited self, and sancho very poor. Unleash the garnacho and maybe sabitzer but somethings gotta changeAs usual, lack of composure is what is ultimately killing us in this game. Dalot for AWB, Weghorst off for anybody with a braincell, Sancho off for anybody with a pulse.
And we shouldn't even have been here had it not been for another referee deciding to give another Spanish team an even softer penalty.
Bizarre how much they’re fawning over Barca. They’ve been almost as poor and sloppy in possession as we have, almost.
They have done absolutely nothing outside of the penalty. Literally nothing.
What mental gymnastics? He is being universally condemned
there was twice as much contact last week when Rashford was through one on one.I have some very strong words about that french cnut of a referee but I don't want to get banned.
Need to get a grip in the second half! Sancho playing very half-heartedly, if he doesn't wake up we'll need a change there.
It's mental when all this comes out the pundits and media will just gloss over it.Absolutely pathetic half, completely lost the plot with this line up.
Why change so much when we looked good enough last week? If I never see Sancho as a 10 again, it will be too soon. Weghorst is abysmal. Bruno with a nightmare half.
What the fuq? Are you demented? We created a great chance to take the lead , we didn’t take it. Bruno makes a panicky tackle in our box on a player running away from our goal. Sancho has been poor, Weghorst too.
But somehow the ref is to blame.
Grow up.I just hope this doesnt mentally affect us for Sunday.
They've had two chances. One was gifted to the by the referee, the other by De Gea. They've done nothing else but pass it sideways on the halfway line a bit.
Both teams have been shite. 1-0 to the ref.What is it with refs and simping for Barcelona?Don't want to roll into that final with a below par performance like this.Another ETH second half masterclass pleasePretty clear why FdJ is the upgrade on Fred that ETH wantsWe were easily the better side but the goal killed us. Barca have to do nothing but control the game with their superior technical ability to win this. Erik needs to give a Leicester level team talk to win this.- Status
