This game was just to save first team from the trip and rest for league game.
It's mind boggling that you are moaning about selection in an unconsequential match which has given our youngsters valuable gametime and also allowed our senior players to rest. I think it was the right team to play and had Chong finished the sitter, it'd have been a comfortable win. The state of our fans.
Fecking hell.
No club anywhere are relying on loads of kids, but a good few of them today blatantly have potential.
Greenwood, Gomes, Garner, Levitt, Laird all did themselves no harm today.
Greenwood and Gomes have the best chances I agree. The rest of them I would be very surprised. Oh and we are relying on these kids. Look at what happened when Martial got injured. We throw them in way too much at this point.
Yeah there's always that.
Makes the last 32 on average easier, but it’s no big deal if we don’t do it. A bigger deal will be not winning a straightforward game at home.
Look at what Greenwood already has shown as someone who just turned 18. He scored some good goals already. If you dont think he is a special talent than i dont know who is...
Agree, its really disappointing as well because there is a lot of talent in that side.
Game meant nothing and I wouldn’t judge him on this. But I’m glad fans are so pi??ed off with him not even this nothing game gets a bly.
LVG's European campaign involved throwing Nick Powell on to try save us in the Champions league before being embarrassed by Midtjylland and smashed by Liverpool. Not playing the youth team in a dead rubber after comfortable qualification.
Very valuable game time indeed. Surely did wonders to their confidence.
We definitely aren’t relying on kids, when Martial got injured we moved Rashford upfront.
If you watch Garner and Laird inparticular and think they have no chance then I can only strongly disagree with you.
Good to rest the first team for this. We need to cement our 9th position in the league. Astana beating Utd is interesting. Is that the worst side we have lost to ? Ole setting all kinds of records
It's the same story every year. Our fans delude themselves into thinking the latest crop of youngsters are another Class of 92, then reality eventually hits.
Yeah, I'm sure they'd have been better off staying at home and instead we should have played the likes of Martial and Rashford. Can't believe I'm even arguing this point tbh but nothing surprises me on the Caf anymore.
Didn't mean the European campaign though, just the overall approach of throwing in random young players for the sake of being young. I think that the biggest bonus from today is what @roonster09 mentioned.
Bizarre comment.
I think it's not Ole to blame anymore. Our management has put a cab driver in the seat of a Veyron and what do you expect the cabbie to do?
The Danish team we lost to in EL in LVG second season was worse.
As I've said I missed out in him. I almost consider him a first teamer anyway.He obviously is a very talented lad. Not sure about the other guys though. Anyway they shouldn't have been thrown in all together today. But our lack of proper squad building in the summer doesnt leave us much other choice if we want to rest some first teamers.
Sure.
Yeah we should've played our first team in this match. The level of IQ in this thread is astoundingly low even given the dwindling standards of the Caf.
This game Ole gets a bye from me. It was a write-off from the start and I knew we'd lose but Ole had to rest our ridiculously thin first team squad. I'm not gonna slate him for this game, outcome or what he says in the press conference.
We will see. We've heard this a lot about many many players that ended up absolutely nowhere.
Yeah, heard we are resting our players for league games too.
This! Any Red who's complaining about this result or selection needs to have a hard look at himself or start supporting other team. fecking hell, no other selection would've made sense given our squad and injuries.
We should have done better against that lot eben with that selection mind. Also it's Ole's and the board's fault our squad is paper thin.
Remind me of their name again?
I agree about LVG, I don't think this is the same though. Good rest for the first team, important with missing players and another game next midweek.
Ole has been poor this season but no need for criticism today, a good chance such an inexperienced team would bet beaten away from home.
Next 3 league games are huge, anything less than 4 points and Poch will be hanging over him even more. He did what he has to do today to set team up for the more important games.

Average age of outfield players who played the game is 19 years, again this is a nothing game and most of the players made the trip just to rest the first team. Only first team players who traveled are the ones who are back from injury or haven't played many games. .
IQ of 125 taken at the start of 2019. What about yours?
Ha. No worries. Who was the team that we played in pre-seson when Ole played against his son? They were poor aswell. My colleague put 50 eur on Astana after I told him our team selection. He got 3/1 on that so he will be chuffedMidtjylland.
Straight copy from Google that. Can't spell their name sorry.
I agree but I hope you know I am FIRMLY Ole out? This game exists in a vacuum for me. Onto the next one that counts.
and there goes my belief in the IQ tests.
I hope you know I'm Ole out too btw. His intentions are good but he doesn't have the skill required to be our manager but that doesn't matter in this match.
I do think a bit of wool is being pulled over the fans eyes with the way some of the kids are spoken about. We hear a lot of spin from Ole himself and others about this generation being super special etc. when its most likely a huge amount of the players who played today will not make it long term with us. That's no massive slagging off, its just quite common.
But also if you're going to put faith in kids ahead of signing older players, you have to then give those kids the best platform they can have to succeed.

AZ Alkmaar 2nd in the Dutch league are far from a straightforward game. United have dropped points to worse teams at home already this season and i don't expect United to play close to a full strength team for that match either.
Haha
