    We created feck all tonight apart from Ronaldo's chance, which he really should've scored from, but other than that I can't remember us really testing their keeper.

    This. We didn't create anything. Any striker wouldn't have much impact in this game.
     
    Two extra games against a good team will do us wonder.

    You only get better by playing against better.

    That's the goal of this years team.
    Weed out the cack and find the cracks to fill in summer.
     
    Really disappointing. No creativity and horrible decision making. Sociedad pressed well but United were sluggish all game and really it wouldn’t have taken a lot to get that second goal. There wasn’t much risk taking and very little overlapping. Anytime we had wide men in positions to attack we’d make the decision to pass backwards instead. A sour taste given the soft pen in the first leg decided it.

    Well in that case let’s just shit on everyone’s opinions on every forum then shall we?

    But yeah, whatever that was ETH was trying.. it worked wonders.

    Close down the forum. Nobodies opinion counts even when it's completely obvious the decisions were nuts and didn't work.
     
    I thought some of you were joking, like that stupid joke with away goal counting 2x. but there actually is additional knockout game before knockout phase :wenger:

    Your post was garbage, was it not meant to be?

    It's all yours deserved mate.

    Don't criticise mad decisions because you're not a manager? Give me a break.

    We went to shit after the changes and Maguire up front is objectively hilarious, so yes post crap like that defending a terrible attacking performance and weird substitutions expect some kick-back.
     
    I could see this coming , I was confident we would win but by 1 goal haven't scored enough this season. Ie batterd spurs got 2, Same away at Leicester only 1. Even when we've realy controlled games haven't scored enough goals.

    OK suck it up we play imo who we get on paper a tough one. No matter now just have to get on with it. Its a shity format change but it is what it is. 15 out of 18 pts and you have to go into a play off!!!! Well done UEFA. Just bring them on two 1-0 wins job done.
     
    All the angst on here after a win away in Spain with one of our brightest prospects in a while getting the goal. Lighten up lads.

    When you post garbage opinions about something, expect some kick-back.
     
    The football is regressing once again after looking good after the early season debacles and its down to the terruble squad. Squad needs a total overhaul. Too many poor players.

    That's the spirit.

    I've written this season off so results don't really matter. But I do hope the football to be good. Today it's not. Tbh I've no idea why we could play Spurs off the park but looked like we couldn't string two passes together against a pretty average team and had to resort to Mourinhoball. Football is weird sometime I guess.

    I couldn’t really give a shit who we get in the play off, it’s more the extra game in an already packed schedule that’s really pissed me off.

    I agree, imo I think those teams will be more cautious of UTD than we should of any who's not good enough for CL.
     
    Making too much of these playoff games to be honest. Another W (away as well), another clean sheet, through to the play-off round, which ain't till Feb anyway. We'll most likely be stronger and better by then too.

    I don't fear any of those teams dropping down anyway

    Also, Spanish teams are always cnuts to play against

    It's amazing the effect one incompetent moron can have. I hate Serie A refs with a passion. They shouldn't be allowed in European competitions.

    Probably has something to do with a mobile CF who works with the team rather then flap his arms around....

    It's quite obvious we can't play with Ronaldo.

    Hinders the team too much.

    Pity he didn't get sent off, then he would be banned for his new CL playing side in January.
     
    Good win! the extra pressure of a 2 goal margin clouds that view.

    I wonder who United will get in the next round.

    Duels yes, but he kept letting the ball bounce which gave the attacker time to get involved in something he should have just dealt with first time

    It was literally once that he did that, 50 yards from our goal with the attacker 1v2 against him and Martinez.
     
    This United Team are really poor at crossing the ball- even with Maguire in the mix, it just always seems to hit the first man or go flying past the back post.

    “Kept”
    How many times? Sounds like 10 times the way you put it. Was never any danger from anything he was involved in.

    Yep one of the teams who dropped down from the CL. To me if you fail, you fail and should not be getting another chance in another trophy. Money talks though.

    You can play in all three Euro comps in the same season if you're bad enough, starting with the CL qualifiers I think. It's not just MP's, bankers and Chief Execs that make a fortune from failure.
     
    Hope Martial is fit, or a new Striker in in January?.. the playoff game whoever we get I'm not bothered imo we can beat anyone of those over 2 legs..

    That reminds me of my controller dying while I’m playing FIFA. :lol:
     
    For wanting thinking we’re on some kind of resurgence, this is where we are. Still can’t beat sociedad (6th best team in la logs) by more than 1, even though we desperately needed to. Let’s take 4th if we can and on to 23/24 :devil:
