Is it really bad that I just can't help laughing at just how bad we are?
 
The jumble sale channel I'm streaming has that well-known United fanatic David Bloody Platt as a pundit. Jesus H. Wept...
But people are always moaning theres not enough former United players as pundits?
 
We will remain unbeaten in a tricky group. What more do you want? Do you think Shakhtar are mugs? They have some decent players and on form can beat anyone home or away. We have at least four first team players out injured. We are holding our own and still very much in the game. It hasn't come to nothing apart from your own perceived satisfaction.

So your reply is to repeat exactly what you've already said? No, by CL standards I don't think you can call this a tricky group. Some decent teams, yeah - but what else do you expect? I'm not saying Shakhtar are mugs, but they're hardly a top team and we're at home. I don't know why you keep talking about the group stage in general really. We've done decent in the group so far indeed, but first half tonight was poor, which is what people in here are complaining about.
 
I think we should put Young at left back and Buttner in his position
 
Err, was that ridiculously sexy stuff from Giggs and Young :eek:
 
If Shakhtar had a remotely clinical striker, we would be at least 4-0 down.

The group in context and our finishing position is all that matters. Same scoreline as now, we top the group and remain unbeaten. Why not mention the group, are we not aiming to win said group and to finish first? We don't have to go gung-ho to satisfy your needs, we need a point to get the "easier" fixture in the next round.
