Bit harsh they both have contributed to the game so far, just taking them a bit to get back into the way of things and scoring goals again. It will come soon.Think people being over harsh on Rooney. He's been involved, held up the ball and had some chances. Just needs a goal to get his confidence and season going.Ferdy is bossing this half time analysis.
It's a bit sad.
He played in a qualifier, and scored, in 2013.Mata's fine, he will create chances, he always has that eye for a key pass.
A bit more respect for the captain would not be out of order, poor game or not.
Jesus ChristAlex McLeish saying Brugge planned the deflection off Januzaj
Quite a step up for us in terms of performance compared to the first PL games, everyone bar Carrick has looked at least good, great couple of goals too.
One concern is giving the ball away in dangerous positions, particularly when they're easy passes - Carrick has been particularly guilty of this, which is a real shame as it's quite unlike him. That combined with the freak goal, and I think it's the worst performance from him in a while.
Lots of positives though, hoping we push on in the second half. Looks promising for us at the moment.We do have a gem on our hands
Memphis + Januzaj
His CL debut, about 10 years ago I think.Wasn't it about 12 years ago?
Memphis needs to work on that whip. No reason to bring your arm all the way across like that. We should sell him.
I agree, I happen to think he is past it but it can get a bit vicious and over the top.
I think because he is Rooney, in the eyes of the media a 'world class player' and seemingly undroppable in our team those who don't fancy him get really frustrated with his everpresence.You aren't supposed to play like this.
Hold yourself back dutch Zaha.
need 1 more for me to feel comfy. 1 goal margin is not good. That own goal fecking sucks
That is because he is watching it on the radio.
Now you know why he is no longer a manager.Jesus Christ
He should be commentating and getting Owen away from a microphone. I think he just feels the need to talk even if doesn't make sense.Big Memph Come on lad get some more goals here!
Can't relax unless we get at least one more and don't bloody concede!Alex McLeish saying Brugge planned the deflection off Januzaj
The difference between standard British and foreign managers is something else.
What is unhealthy? On your television, rooney scored a screamer? Held the ball for the team? had a good first touch? He has been just about scrapping "ok" which is not good for a player of his experience and he is the captain of the team. Hernandez will be more better for United currently.Rooney's not been as bad as some are making out, but he hasn't been great either. Schweinsteiger needs to come on for Carrick.
Ball -> Net
Agreed. He's very good.Smalling, Januzaj and Memphis excellent, Carrick, Mata and Rodney not so much. Bastian, Herrera (move Januzaj outside) and Hernandez on would step us up a notch.Would love a third, especially if it came from Memphis.
Going to Bruges with a 2-goal lead instead of a 1-goal lead will make a huge difference.
Nah, he scored for PSV in it last year.
I wasn't saying that he has been brilliant, just that he has been better than Rooney and should've got an assist.The worst aspect of Rooney tonight is by far the neck hair.At OT watching this.
Defence and Smalling looking very good. Mata having a poor game, carrick as well. Need pace upfront!We should swap out Carrick and bring on the German commander in the second half.a couple more in the second half would be nice, or that away goal could come back and haunt us.
Loved the line to Lineker about him not knowing about that dance.Rooney has done well so far. He has created chances has shown improvement in build up play and is putting himself in good positions.Decent half from us, but there is so little pressure on the ball from Brugge and so much space in midfield that we can't help but create chances. Barring a catastrophe we should have enough to advance in this tie, but it will be interesting to see what sort of performance we come up with against Newcastle. That said, its feckin Newcastle.
EDIT: I do think we've played quite well, if my post seemed a bit harsh. Memphis has been the pick of the attacking players obviously, but very pleased with Januzaj, Smalling Blind and Morgan so far.Take Rooney off for Hernandez
Young on for Janujaz
Herrera on for Carrick
--------AH-------
Young ------ Memphis
-------Mata--------
-------Chicharito-----
Save Bastian for the barcodes which I think will be tricky2 more goals and we're sound.- Status
