Boring - Sell Shoretire and Amad, forcibly retire Henderson and sell Old Trafford and turn it into a Macy's parking lot

 

[AgentSmith]

Minding his own business. You act like he's a ball boy on the sideline, he's on the pitch supposed to be paying attention and defending FFS.

So Lindelof is not allowed to attack that space because a player is standing there? If that was the case why do defenders ever bother jumping with players - just mark your zones, stand your ground and let defenders clatter in to you then.

Ridiculous argument.

Lindelof is allowed to attack the space.

He’s not allowed to attack the defenders forehead with his kneecap.

It’s a pretty simple one.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Leicester gone.

 

[peridigm]

Martial is drowning in his performances.

 

[Globule]

Is anyone in control when they are in the air?
You could use this logic for any header.

But most headers don't end up with a player nearly getting decapitated.
Just like tackling is perfectly legal, but do it in a way that endangers an opponent and give away a freekick.

 

[lex talionis]

Man this debate over whether Lindelof's kung fu to the head was a foul is unbelievable. What is the Spaniard meant to do? Get out the way? He was minding his own business. You cannot say it is the Sociedad's player's fault for being in the way of the Man Utd defender's recklessness. It is hilarious that this is even a debate.

This. There’s no debate...it was a foul.

 

[Sea-Cow]

Injuries permitting, we won’t see Martial start another game for a while.

I hope you're right.

So someone can stab me in the street and it would be my fault because i let my body get in the way of the knife. I should have done something to stop it. Hahahaha. Okay an extreme example. But this debate that the Spaniard is somehow at fault is laughable.

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

Jones.
He always said nobody would turn up...didn’t think that would include him though

Respect Phil. Won more titles than Bruno.

 

[youngrell]

Stop a counter again? Yes, yellow? No? These refs man...

They’ve got away with loads of those tonight.

 

[Ranchero]

This. There’s no debate...it was a foul.

Have a wee look, there are folk saying it isnt

 

[Adam-Utd]

feel a bit bad for amad and shoretire, the game has completely gone and so many subs has ruined the flow. They barely had a kick!

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Safely through.

 

[Deery]

Leicester gone.

Rodgers hasn’t got the minerals

 

[Gator Nate]

Jones.

[diarm]

Martial is having a good go at making every performance worse than the one before it.

 

[Delano]

The ball refuses to go to Shola and Amad.

 

[el3mel]

Finally this is over.

 

[48 hours]

Molde in the next round please

 

[Mike Smalling]

Yawn

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Rodgers hasn’t got the minerals

Tonights game is what I expected. Leicester probably thought a 0-0 out there was a good job done. It is always a dicey position if the away side score first.

 

[Ranchero]

Martial is drowning in his performances.

You need water to drown.

 

[RedIan]

Professionally played. Motm hard to call, Greenwood , BailLy?

 

[big rons sovereign]

You'd think martial would be wanting to bang a few in, but he's made zero effort all night.
It's getting to the point where I've no faith in him at all.

 

[Jazz]

All that matters is being in the next round.

 

[Oranges038]

Nice to see the few younger lads get games. That's about it.

What an awful awful game.

 

[yumtum]

feel a bit bad for amad and shoretire, the game has completely gone and so many subs has ruined the flow. They barely had a kick!

I agree with this, being the 4th and 5th subs in an already dead game will always result in this, no doubt it will be used as a reason not to play a £19m Signing though.

 

[Withnail]

Wheres the ref found 4 minutes from? Nothings happened

30s for each sub is most of it.

 

[Ranchero]

Tonights game is what I expected. Leicester probably thought a 0-0 out there was a good job done. It is always a dicey position if the away score first.

I think that's what Atletico Madrid were trying against Chelsea. Playing for 0-0 is madness.

 

[reddevilz007]

This game just shows how this club especially the coaching staff has no football identity. They arent playing as a team.

Yes there were a lot of non-regulars, but they all practice together. Which probably means there is no emphasis on tactics, system or style of play during those practice sessions. It’s just a group of players with talent put together trying to find a way to win.

You take Man City, no matter who is playing, you still see a system, you see organization, everyone knows what to do.

 

[Irwin99]

Was James taken off as a regular sub or was it an injury?

 

[Jazz]

You'd think martial would be wanting to bang a few in, but he's made zero effort all night.
It's getting to the point where I've no faith in him at all.

Come on. He did make the effort. Nothing came off though

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

Absolute snooze fest but glad we’re through, job done and onto Chelsea next.

 

[Houdini]

Boring as hell.

 

[Stookie]

Finally this is over.

That’s what I thought as well

 

[Deery]

Professionally played. Motm hard to call, Greenwood , BailLy?

Henderson

 

[prateik]

Easy. Walking pace for parts. No injuries..
All good.

 

[Berbasbullet]

Meh game, clean sheet is nice!

 

[Schmeichel=God]

If you're defending a corner, and don't jump, expect to be clattered. He's not under obligation to jump, but he'll get battered if he just stands still. Lindelof jumped normally, is it his fault that his leap had his knee at face level and the other guy didn't jump? That's just not a foul for me. Eyes fully on the ball and trying to jump for it.

Thank you...

 

[Withnail]

Leicester gone.

Poxy Rodgers... We could have done with them staying in.
