[Lawman]

Showed that we are not good enough in certain positions. Well done the players in getting through hope they thank Rashford for their win bonus. We have a real player on our hands in Rashford.

DDG
Valencia Bailley Rojo Shaw
Herrera Pogba
Myktarin Griezmann Silva
Rashford

Would be awesome next year.

 

[#07]

Only good things about tonight:

1. We won
2. We got Rashford

 

[Hugh Jass]

I am going to have a stroke some day watching United.

If only we could finish, we would make it so much easier. Lingarrd, Zlatan and Pogba all missed sitters.

 

[Ronnie O'Sullivan]

Poor performance and somewhat fortunate to get through

 

[Unmutual]

Poor first 60 minutes or so, but last half hour and extra time was decent and once Zlatan went off it's sad to say we looked a lot better. Deserved a narrow win, but not a classic.

 

[walkinhop]

I thought we smashed them, play-wise.

 

[RoadTrip]

But they fecking haven't, that's the point.

Yep. That's the damn problem. It's always we should have scored 3-4 more. Well, we never seem to do what we "should" do.

 

[Safa Boy]

Shit finishing. Shit finishing. Shit finishing.

Same can be said for the defense.

 

[Lawman]

Ibra and Lingard were awful. Just delighted to get through in the end.

Lingatd is awful to be fair.

 

[izec]

feck me dead

 

[the hea]

We played well after Fellaini came on and should have won it comfortably after 90 minutes if it wasn't for our attackers inability to score.

 

[bosnian_red]

Thank feck. I feel like every attacker needs shooting lessons on our side. Or just to get some bottle and not feck up big moments or lose composure.

Rashford motm there IMO. Ran like mad and wanted it more then anyone. Plus the goal. Martial really needs to learn from him. Comes on fresh in ET and rashford still outruns him in that period and works harder. Like he didnt do badly, just doesnt ever look too bothered and doesnt show that desire or intensity.

Shot about ibra though. Could be his last moment of his career, if his ligaments are fecked. Which is a shit way for such a legend to bow out.

 

[Raven Blade]

Always the hard way! Rashford was the standout player. Kept driving us forward time and time again. Overall our finishing is maddening though. Our games are only close because of this.

Into the semis and we've got a real chance

 

[RoadTrip]

I thought we smashed them, play-wise.

Yeah only after they subbed their best players and looked spent for energy.

But yeah we did dominate early too.

 

[Sandikan]

Ran them off the pitch, but the usual story, tonne of wasted chances makes it look a close game.

Ibra had a stinker, but hopefully that wasn't the worst case, and was just jarred.

If not, it'll be exciting to field Rashford, Martial, Lingard and Miki together, which'll be the most mobile forward line decades!

 

[Ban]

We made a meal out of it but I think we deserved to go through. So many missed chances again.

 

[shaky]

Fellaini the unsung hero again.

 

[caid]

made hard work of that,
Just glad were through

 

[TheReligion]

That rabona by Rashford and scissor from Pogba. Wow.

 

[Newman123]

That Spajic looks a really good defender and hes only 24. Wonder if a big team will come in for him?

 

[littlepeasoup]

You just get the sense that Scholesy would love to kick a ball right into Jake Humphreys' stupid face.

 

[Mister_Stubbs]

Phew.

Thought we more than deserved it over the two legs. Anderletch had a 20 minute spell in both games where they threatened but otherwise we were in control and looked likely to score more than we eventually did. A combination of good goalkeeping and excellent defender from the two Anderletch lads only stopped us from scoring more.

Marcus Rashford motm for me, showed excellent composure for the goal and looked a real threat when played through the middle. Having this kid hit form now will soften the blow of Ibra missing a few games.

Thought Luke Shaw was good again, made some really good forward runs and was unlucky not to get an assist or two for his efforts. Someone needs to test Tony V, everyone bangs on about how much grass Kante covers during a game but I reckon he does just as much. Always a constant threat going forward and has improved defensively a deal as well.

Onwards to the semis, not fused who we get as we should have enough to see off whoever it is.

 

[Reynoldo]

Fellaini the unsung hero again.

I thought he was great, made the difference

 

[Devil may care]

Phew! I'm tired out with that, nervy stuff and we wasted a boat load of chances yet again, glad we squeaked through.

 

[prateik]

Rojo and Zlatan injuries ruined the match for me. We have some sort of cover for Zlatan.. Nothing for Rojo with 2 other defenders being injured. Hope it was just a twisted knee and no ligament damage

 

[reelworld]

Can we ever get a nice stress free game?

you're supporting the wrong club mate!

 

[peridigm]

My fingers look like nubs

 

[caid]

Fellaini the unsung hero again.

I gave him MotM, he really was very good. And Rashford missed like 3 chances he really should have buried, spose i shouldn't give him grief as he got one in the end

 

[Minimalist]

Mixed bag all round - only thing I can say really.

Some good and some total shite on display. Got there and that's all that matters.

 

[Offside]

The only thing about United being shit is that the nerves aren't as bad.

Games like that make me wonder how the hell we managed the Barcelona semi-final game in 08, or the Moscow penalty shootout.

 

[Akshay]

Injuries are the big worry. Hope they're not too serious. I suspect we're going to be drained for Burnley though.

 

[wizzard]

We would have won quite comfortably had Rojo not gone off imo. His injury unsettled us and Blind was awful. Rashford and Micky were quality and Pogba had a decent game.

 

[walkinhop]

I hope to christ Rojo and Ibra are okay. Unfortunately Ibra looks like he's done for the season.

Something tells me Ibra's injury will actually help us.

 

[DeGea]

Local lad, he is one of our own. Cometh the hour, cometh the man, take a bow Marcus Rashford. I felt tonight was a watershed moment for him. It has been thoroughly enjoyable watching his development and I think Jose will be good for him. Contrary to what the pundits say, I think Jose is managing him in the right way and tonight is proof of that. I am certain that he will be having an increasingly significant role next season and we will see more outstanding performances from him.

On a similar note, I have found Europa League to be surprisingly entertaining. What a nice surprise.

Bring on the semi finals!

 

[Dennis Viollet]

Phew what a game that was. We are in the final four but with 2 bad injury. Bad news for Ibra

 

[Manchie]

We progressed and that is the most important thing but we should be winning game like this so easily.

 

[Son Of Sam]

Great to see Pogba stamp his authority on the midfield - almost nothing happened without him.

Ibra had an absolute mare, almost Rooney-like at his worst.

Hope Rojo will be okay.

Pogba was wasteful in possession. I dunno anyone so talented with an appalling football sense.

 

[Mr Anderson]

Feel for Zlatan. But possibly a positive in our season run in. Rashford hitting form at right time, his runs in behind give us better options. Zlatan possibly tiring but does tend to slow up our play.

Hope it isn't a serious injury, he has done fantastic for us when in the mood/form

 

[Festive Sandvich]

Poor performance and somewhat fortunate to get through

I must've been watching a different game. Thought that was very comprehensive for a one-goal win.

 

[the hea]

Fellaini the unsung hero again.

Agreed. There was only one team on the pitch after he came on, great sub by Mourinho that completely changed the game.

 

[Jazz]

Not an easy watch. Such an intense game and Anderlecht did very well. Let's face it, they didn't have anything to lose, pressure was all on us and boy did we show it missing chance after chance.

Anyway, I couldn't care less. So so happy to be in the semis. Thanks to little Rash
