    I can appreciate that, I just see us doing this against every side we play when we go 1-0 up. A huge reason for the amount of draws this season (together with missed chances, but that's a bad excuse).

    I would normally agree. But tonight, with the amount of times we've got in behind I can't really fault the tactic.

    Mkhi has made one or two brilliant attacking play. It's Lingard I don't get. He moves around a lot but he does nothing with his movements.
     
    We've not been great, and Mourinho looks well annoyed, but we're winning.

    We need to step it up in the second half, though. We've been very sloppy.

    Mkhi has been the standout attacking player for me.
     
    We're one of the worst teams in the world at sitting back and trying to soak up the pressure.
     
    We're nervous but we are ahead.

    Jose to sort them out and then we kill the game off.

    At 90 minutes if we have won no one will give a shit about the performance and will be happy with the win.

    During the game, people complain that we aren't playing well because of the fear and risk of letting Celta back in.

    Not that difficult to understand really, and reasonable.

    It's not fecking reasonable. We have too many spoilt, moany idiots in here on a weekly basis.

    Watch the game and enjoy a European semi final you boring bunch of turds.
     
    Wasteful on the counter and shaky at the back with Blind having a stinker, need to kill this off in the first 20 minutes of the second half or I can see the anxiety really setting in.

    Criticising him for not running into space is extremely odd. To say the least.
    Click to expand...

    I'm criticizing him based on the fact that he plays as a winger in a forward line of 3. His main role is supposed to be getting as close to the goal as possible to either create chances or score himself. Instead, he keeps coming deep and wandering from right to left to the center aimlessly without really doing anything effective. And when he is not trying to get in behind or move into spaces using his strongest ( and probably only ability ) which is pace. Then I have no idea what he is supposed to be doing.

    You guys seem to think that he is doing pretty well, so, I'm wondering here what his role is supposed to be or what exactly is he supposed to be doing that he is doing pretty well?! Maybe I'm missing something here.

    Read the post before commenting - I said he's trying his best to make Ajax face Celta instead of United. Who would give Ajax a bigger problem, Celta or us?

    If you are talking about the referee I won't be surprise if he shows a red to Pogba like that Turkish cnut referee did to Nani a few years back. Then he will give a free kick to Celta for offside against Rashford in our own half.
     
    Romero hasn't put a foot wrong so far. Defence needs to protect him more though. We've got away with a couple of loose balls that could've gone anywhere.

    What about chances missed?
    We are playing more games because we are better. But some people are always moaning.

    What about, what about...bla bla bla i was asking for the sake of asking to make a comparison but Mourinho fans can't be reasoned with apparently.

    Selective viewing. Had a great chance only to be blocked by some good last ditch defending and played a quality ball across the 6 yard box that most CFs would smash in the back of the net.
     
    We need to make an attacking sub. They are getting too much of the ball.

    We seem to be making things difficult for ourselves. We need to scare them a bit. They are growing confident.

    I would personally bring Mata on for Lingard. That change won't affect the right flank that much and it will help us keep control of the ball.
     
    Eat your sh*t and tread this pit, not pretty but it's time.
     
    We need to keep the ball better, it's such a big flaw in this team.

    We counter badly too so sitting back really isn't a great tactic for us. Hope we don't just defend all of the 2nd half as I can see them scoring if that carries on.

    Why on earth would anyone think that we are playing worse football under Mourinho than we were under those clowns?

    I just hate seeing us play so defensively.

    We did under fergie too all the time in europe, with rooney playing at left back. Its selective memory and hyperbole of attacking football that is stupid. At this point of the season with barely enough players to play the match. i would take a 0-0 where they have 5 goals ruled out wrongly and united not having a shot at goal. We need to win and win again in The final, the style can come next season in champions league.

    Are you a bit simple? Miki has weaved through about 4 players on multiple occasions.

    Christ on a bike
     
    Decent stuff so far. Another couple of goals and I'll be super satisfied. Mkhitaryan looks like he might make big things happen.
     
    Were winning but we're so poor were making them look good. They still only need 2 goals so the next goal is important. We score and it's over. They score and it's squeaky bum time!
