Bodes well for the City game, especially with Rooney starting. Can't wait.

What do you mean?

I hope we refund all ticket prices to those who had to witness that garbage.

Bestie07 · Oct 28, 2015

We couldn't have scored in a brothel today. One of those days, sadly these days are coming on an almost weekly basis.

Rich_H_1989 · Oct 28, 2015

Keepers saving penalties is one thing and I almost don't mind that. But there's no excuse for professional players to ever miss the target from the spot! Hit the bloody target that's all you've got to do. If the keeper saves it fair play.

The league cup is a better tournament without us though. At least there's no guaranteed 0-0 bore draw in the next round.

Alun · Oct 28, 2015

absolutely hate Rooney. I'm sure he hates us as well. He was always a blue

Our 300 k man

Never give penalty-taking tasks to an England international ever again.

doomy20 · Oct 28, 2015

Yeah thanks for a ruined evening. One fecking goal in 120mins + 4 pens? At home? Vs. a Championship side? Come on...that is just so poor.

Typical English penalties those, utterly pathetic.

Why on earth are Carrick and Young taking them in the first place? Not that it matters, Romero is not a keeper I would ever back to save a penalty. One of those who always manages to go the wrong way.

He guessed right on three outta the four.

Florida Man · Oct 28, 2015

Well I watched that while at work so I at least got paid to watch :lol:

UnitedinRed · Oct 28, 2015

Its the League Cup. Just enjoy the comedy of it all. From the pundits to the match itself.

Very entertaining stuff, barely any of it for football reasons but good TV is good TV.

Sylar · Oct 28, 2015

We cant score in open play or during 90 minutes (or 120 minutes). Is anybody else shocked we couldnt score penalties?!

This thread should go in classics tbh.

Mibabalou · Oct 28, 2015

Absolute embaresent from the players. Martial was the only one to play well. Smalling and Perriera were decent everyone else should be ashamed of themselves.

I meant for the ones that were saveable. Not athletic enough to reach good penalties and too keen to dive so he misses the reachable ones.

Mark_GrumpyLion · Oct 28, 2015

3 full English internationals fail to score their penalties while a young Brazil under 21 international nails his. Never expected to write that sentence.

Striker10 · Oct 28, 2015

We started with the wrong attitude and got what we deserved. Some decent performances, some loony official decisions - but clowns. You start like that, you let teams like Boro gain confidence. We did the same shit against Newcastle at home. We gave them so much confidence by not looking to score early on.

England internationals missing penalties shouldn't really be unexpected.

ColvaleGoa · Oct 28, 2015

Only Periera and Lingard comes out of this shambles with their head held high. Defence did their job. Rest of all should hang their heads in shame.

Maybe LvG is also to be blamed for castrating our attacking players of all their attacking flair and his possesion bollocks!

Moriarty · Oct 28, 2015

Highly amusing.

Oga on top. · Oct 28, 2015

Rooney didn't even looked bothered after he missed that pen.

manufanatic · Oct 28, 2015

I'm disgusted because we are not scoring but fair play to boro they are a proper cup team. I wish they would have scored early in the game so we would actually go at them more instead of the last 3 mins in regulation on at the end of extra time

Louis is going to do his nut.

A lot of people don't realise that LVG can really lose it badly.
And right now, I think he is delivering the hair dryer on full blast.
He may even drop his pants and tell everybody to check out the size of his balls.

It was like watching us under Moyes two seasons ago.

Thank f*ck I opted out of going to Capital One Cup games and watched it on a river.

sunama · Oct 28, 2015

So, in the last 3 games, we have scored 1 goal.

Why it's obvious isn't it

sticky · Oct 28, 2015

Wonder if any journalist will dare ask LVG about Rooney tonight?

What odds would you get on him not breaking Charlton's record? I think scoring another 14 goals for Manchester United is a huge challenge for him now.

Mr.Kaya · Oct 28, 2015

Fecking bullshit. We shouldn't even have needed penalties to beat Boro at home! fecking shit performance, just awful. Good job.

Ashley Young as well, goalkeeper dives same way three times. Still hits it to his left.

Moron.

Two most experience players.

funny how they cost youngsters the game, so they won't get chances next time and these senior so called experienced playrs are played until they're injured

tbf you would expect he choses different side this time anyway how calm and well taken penalty it was from 19yo Andreas Pereira who sent goalkeeper the other way...

That we are struggling to create chances even with first team players, but mostly that Rooney is utter crap at this point.

Jazz · Oct 28, 2015

I thought when Ashley Young came on that LVG made a mistake there. Should have left Rojo and saved the subs for one of Herrera or Mata - who would have scored their penalty.

No matter, that personnel out there should have won that game. No excuses for losing this.

Also had Mason as ref.

well it probably won't be, as it'd take Middlesborough missing a sh!Tload to give us the chance to take so many!

have a bad feeling Rooney will miss the decisive one, and we'll have to deal with another 37 threads over the next week about him

I don't know which of us jinxed this harder.

Cue the Rooney threads.
