Big difference in performance between first and second half, and a tactical shift in mentality. Thats on the manager imo.

 

[3KDré]

My internet is shocking. How was the second half?

 

[Raw]

2nd half was absolutely appalling. Sick to death of sitting back after playing really well.

It's not the end of the world though. Away goal will be crucial.

 

[BringNaniBack]

Average in every department.

 

[GimmeAKitKat]

Still cant finish or play final balls.

 

[duffer]

Dendonca sounds like an insult

That match was pure dendonca. Give me back my 90 minutes you dendonca.

Yep, sounds about right.

 

[JTW95]

Dendonca sounds like an insult

Your are such a Dendonker!

 

[Coxy]

Shambolic.

No communication in the final third. Its like we have a group of individuals improvising rather than playing as a team.

And isn't that the managers fault?

 

[AndyJ1985]

Our attack is pathetic.
Fellaini is a turd.
Jose needs to stop the negative tactics when we're 1-0 up.

 

[walkinhop]

I feel the same as under Van Gaal. The apathy is strong and the excitement is 0%.

 

[Kostur]

Our starting lineup had this game wrapped around their finger. Subs ruined it.

First sub came around 65th minute and it was Martial. We've been dogshit for the previous 20 minutes.

 

[DWelbz19]

Our starting lineup had this game wrapped around their finger. Subs ruined it.

They had the first half wrapped up. That second half performance was abysmal.

 

[Sandikan]

Negative stuff on here.
That was very close to an ideal European away. On top throughout, away goal, fairly comfortable, should have scored more.
Late goal is a blow, but we're still massive favourites here!

 

[Leg-End]

Went from a professional 1-0 away win in Europe to a why the feck have we been passing it backwards for the whole second half, in just one cross.

 

[Dave46]

You guys are miserable bunch. Sure, it would have been nice to win the game, but 1:1 is not a bad result being away.

 

[JG3001]

Pathetic. Pogba has to be dropped for me, he's ran out of chances a while ago with his pointless and rather counterproductive holding of the ball on every break we get.

Mourinho is testing my patience at this point. I thought he might finally change his ways, even if only slightly, to accommodate the United ethos of attack, but no, we see 30 minutes of camping in our own half and unsurprisingly concede, when the game was there for the taking as well.

 

[Offside]

The only way we could have thrown that away is if we went down the negative tactic route and tried to null the game. And what did we fecking do? If we'd have just said "go out and do what you want" we'd honestly have won 5-0. That's how shite that team were.

But Mouriniho can't help himself and he got what his utter shit "become statues" instructions were.

Right in the fecking balance now. Disgraceful second half showing.

 

[Borden]

My internet is shocking. How was the second half?

About as good as your internet.

 

[Kaos]

0-0 should do it at OT

 

[FreakyJim]

Decent result, considering we're playing with disasters like Darmian and Fellaini. Pointless players.

Mourinho deserves everything bad that's happened this season for playing Fellaini alone.

 

[Raoul]

My internet is shocking. How was the second half?

You didn't miss anything. We were very poor.

 

[Adisa]

Anderlecht didn't have to do anything to get that draw. A top side would have thrashed them tonight.

 

[walkinhop]

And isn't that the managers fault?

It is.

 

[Vato]

Visual waterboarding.

 

[Frank Grimes]

Should have won obviously but will take the draw and finish them off in Old Trafford.

 

[fergosaurus]

Good first half but let them off the hook when we should have killed off the tie. Overall a score draw away from home gives us a great chance of getting to the semis so I'll take that.

 

[GazTheLegend]

You chaps forgetting how many shit away European performances we had under Ferguson?

I'll take that result, we should comfortably smash them at OT.

 

[SalfordRed1960]

Attitude is totally wrong. Too many players think the competition is beneath them, playing in second gear most of the game. Add to that the let's sit on a 1-0 for the last 20 mins and you get fecked.

Not to worried about the home leg, but that was a really shocking second half performance. Only Rashford got any marks for effort.

 

[el3mel]

Horrible management from Jose in the second half. Why the feck you set back for a 1 - 0 win when you can kill the game? how many times did we pay for this ??

Zlatan with one of his worst games this season . I'm starting to lose any hope in that Martial as well .

Rashford the best player tonight .

A good result but could have been better if Jose managed the game better.

 

[Kostur]

Decent result, considering we're playing with disasters like Darmian and Fellaini. Pointless players.

Mourinho deserves everything bad that's happened this season for playing Fellaini alone.

Darmian's played well tonight, not sure what you're on about.

 

[Carolina Red]

Martial has gone full bore sophomore slump.

 

[wolvored]

F ucking racked off

 

[Kaos]

0-0 should do it at OT

 

[gfactor86]

We were cruising and in control.
The game was dead.
The home crowd subdued
Jose brings on Fellaini to defend a lead.
The home crowd get lively.
Anderlecht equalise.

Rinse and repeat.

How does Jose not learn from his mistakes? Everton all over again. This team is desperately disappointing.

 

[Thepinhead]

Meh midfield got tired at the end. Carricks legs are gone. Can't play box to box. Pogba is clearly not 100% fit yet. He lost steam too. Valencia looked tired as well.

The 1-1 is a result of us facing a more fresh team, and us not being clinical enough.

Great first half. Second half we were a step behind in all duels.

Martial was horrible.

 

[Mibabalou]

We were too pedestrian with the ball in the final third, they didn't deserve the goal but we should have been 2/3-0 up at that point.

Now the second leg is going to be a nervy affair.

 

[Dec9003]

Jose will be blamed but the fact is Rashford, Lingard and Martial all aren't good enough, Rashford and Martial have time on their hands but we've depended on players who have no consistency for far too long.
Rashford in particular was embarrassing tonight, he ruined almost every attack he got near.
We still look slow, lethargic and most importantly passive, United don't force the issue anymore.
I'm not gonna say Mourinho out, but he's got a lot of work to do in the summer, which after all the money we've spent is just sad.
Pogba did alright for once at least but against these he should be scoring an overhead kick whilst dabbing and getting his haircut.

 

[Handsome Devil]

Damn! Groundhog day again and next week we have home disadvantage.

 

[Snow]

They had the first half wrapped up. That second half performance was abysmal.

First sub came around 65th minute and it was Martial. We've been dogshit for the previous 20 minutes.

Anderlecht weren't doing anything and we had chances to score more goals. Wasn't abysmal at all.

 

[Raoul]

And isn't that the managers fault?

Absolutely. Plenty of blame to go around, but I'm stumped as to how Mourinho hasn't been able to improve our attack for much of this year.

 

[Carolina Red]

Darmian's played well tonight, not sure what you're on about.

Several folks were blaming (partly) Darmian for the Anderlecht goal too. I don't see it.

 

[wolvored]

Is this team ready to go up against Europe's elite in the CL next season?

Need 2 more big signings IMO.

2? more like 5-6
